China's foreign ministry has urged parties involved in talks about North Korea's nuclear program to meet each other half way and address each other's concerns to create conditions to resume negotiations.
Numerous efforts to restart the talks since they were last held over six years ago have failed.
Last month, South Korea's representative to the talks said China and Russia, as well as the United States, Japan, and South Korea, have reached "a certain degree of consensus," on how to restart the process.
