Chinanews, Beijing, Feb. 11 - The six-party talks on the Korean nuclear issue entered the fourth day on Sunday, with parties remaining divided on compensation measures for the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), Xinhua reported.

 

"The DPRK demanded too much on the compensation issue. It will be difficult to reach an agreement if it does not reconsider its demand," said Japanese negotiator Kenichiro Sasae on Sunday morning.

 

Reports said the sticking point to ink a deal centers on the volume and timing1 about the energy aid to the DPRK.

 

"There is definitely one issue preventing us from sealing the deal right now," said chief U.S. negotiator Christopher Hill Saturday.

 

"It seems the chances to reach a joint2 statement are slim," said Russian representative Alexander Losyukov.

 

Chief ROK negotiator Chun Yung Woo said it's "unreasonable3" to expect breakthrough on Sunday as the consultations4 will continue.

 

The current problem is not about the "scale" of the economic aid to be given to the DPRK, but about what actions the DPRK will take to denuclearize, said Chun.

 

Envoys5 from host China, the DPRK, the United States, the Republic of Korea (ROK), Japan and Russia reconvened the talks on Thursday in Beijing in the wake of a 48-day recess6.
