Chinese nuclear negotiator Wu Dawei, who is on a visit to Japan, said he will make yet another "new proposal" to the countries involved in six-party talks on North Korea's nuclear disarmament, the Kyodo news agency reported Tuesday.
'yet another': even the South Koreans are jaded ...
Wu told Japanese Foreign Minister Katsuya Okada, "North Korea is expressing hopes of the resumption of the talks, and we should create a new environment for an early resumption."
"But first let's resolve that whole table size/shape issue, and which tea will be served. We'll have to serve something more substantial than cookies, or the North Korean delegation won't have enough fuel to enable their brains to function. We can trust the South Koreans with that bit -- they know what their cousins like best." | The news agency speculated that Wu already laid out the proposal to Okada during the visit. |
