Envoys to North Korean disarmament talks suspended meetings Sunday for three

weapons, the Associated Press reported.

Foreign Minister Wu Dawei announces a recess of the six-party talks
at Diaoyutai State Guesthouse in Beijing August 7, 2005.
[Xinhua] | The latest round of six-nation talks
lasted 13 days. The talks are to resume the week of Aug. 29, Chinese Vice
Foreign Minister Wu Dawei told reporters.
"The specific date of when the talks would resume is yet to be set," Wu said,
Xinhua News Agency reported.
During the break, all the parties will keep contact and continue
consultations, according to Wu.
"If we are climbing a mountain, we've already seen the peak of it. Now we
decide to take a recess so that we can reach the peak more smoothly," Wu said,
adding "This is a positive outcome of thefirst phase of the current round of
talks."
Wu said he did not think a three-week break would dampen the momentum of the
current round of talks, the Xinhua report said.
However, he warned that even after the break, "I can't say for sure that we
will reach agreement."
