No major breakthrough has been made in the Korean Peninsula nuclear issue although some progress was seen during talks between relevant parties, US Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill said here Wednesday.

Hill arrived in China Wednesday morning to exchanging views with other parties to the six-party nuclear talks which was currently stalled on the full declaration of nuclear program of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK).

Hill said he had "good discussions" with his Chinese, Japanese and Republic of Korea (ROK) counterparts after his arrival.

"We haven't yet arranged for all the factors, or the elements, that have to be put together... We have a lot of work ahead of us. I don't want to suggest there's been any major breakthrough," Hill said.

"We definitely make progress. We're going to try to do more things in a few days," he said, adding "we don't have a lot of time."
