The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) hinted at flexibility in its position on the Six-Party Talks yesterday, raising hopes that a new round of negotiations aimed at dismantling its nuclear weapons program could make headway.

The DPRK's chief negotiator, Kim Kye-gwan, dropped the hint in Beijing where he was meeting with Chinese counterpart Wu Dawei and Republic of Korea (ROK) envoy Chun Yung-woo.
