Pre-Dinner Walk-Through With Reporters at Six-Party TalksChristopher R. Hill, Assistant Secretary for East Asian and Pacific AffairsSt. Regis Hotel Beijing, China September 29, 2007 ASSISTANT SECRETARY HILL: Sorry, don’t have anything tonight. We’re just going to dinner, and we’re waiting to get the Chinese draft back. We made our comments many hours ago so…
QUESTION: The draft contains most of the points that you have (inaudible)? ASSISTANT SECRETARY HILL: It’s a pretty complete draft that we made some comments, but I don’t know what the others think about it. I don’t know if we’ll have a joint statement or not. QUESTION: Do you expect the Chinese are going to give you the second draft at the dinner? ASSISTANT SECRETARY HILL: I don’t think so. I think it will be something later if they do it, but I don’t know if we’ll have a draft. We don’t really -- We know what we have to do ahead. So I’m not sure we really needed -- So we’ll see. We’ll see what they come up with. I just can’t comment right now. I just don’t know. QUESTION: Will you talk with us tonight when you come back after the dinner? ASSISTANT SECRETARY HILL: Mike, if you have nothing else to do and are still standing there when I come back here, I’ll talk to you. QUESTION: Thank you sir. ASSISTANT SECRETARY HILL: Try not to talk about baseball. QUESTION: So do you hope to wrap this up by tomorrow, Mr. Hill? ASSISTANT SECRETARY HILL: I sure do. I had hoped to wrap it up by today. QUESTION: Thank you. Released on September 29, 2007 |
