Hu seeks progress on N-talks

SYDNEY: President Hu Jintao on Friday urged all parties to the talks on denuclearizing the Korean Peninsula to fulfill their commitments.

Hu made the remarks while meeting with Roh Moo-hyun, president of the Republic of Korea (ROK), on the sidelines of the economic leaders' meeting of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum.

Hu noted it is an arduous task to make the peninsula nuclear-free despite progress made through six rounds of talks and various working groups set up to deal with detailed matters.
