Pre-dinner Doorstop on Six-Party Talks

Christopher Hill, Assistant Secretary for East Asian and Pacific Affairs
Beijing, China
December 21, 2006

ASSISTANT SECRETARY HILL: I wish I could say I was more optimistic, but I am not more optimistic. Today was a very long day, and we exchanged a lot of opinions. At this point, I can't really express any sense of optimism. We will see how it goes the next day.

QUESTION: Has there been any ground where you went forward?

ASSISTANT SECRETARY HILL: Give me a while and maybe I can think of some, but right now I can't think of any.

QUESTION: Do you plan to meet with North Koreans tomorrow again?

ASSISTANT SECRETARY HILL: Probably, but I met with them a lot today.

QUESTION: What was the topic of the dinner?

ASSISTANT SECRETARY HILL: The Six- Party Talks.
