Talks wait for probe into ship's sinking

Beijing - Beijing on Tuesday expressed its firm commitment to the resumption of Six-Party Talks as key nations were watching Pyongyang as a probe into the sinking of a Republic of Korea warship continues.

"All of the nations involved need to demonstrate flexibility and sincerity to make headway in the Six-Party Talks, no matter how the situation (on the Korean Peninsula) changes," Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu said on Tuesday, urging the relevant parties to work together for a nuclear-free Korean Peninsula.

Washington on Monday made it clear that the outcome of the investigation into the sinking of the Cheonan in March will influence how it deals with Pyongyang.
