Six-party talks over North Korea’s nuclear program have entered a second day. Diplomats are reportedly considering a draft proposal from China that calls on North Korea to close nuclear facilities in exchange for aid. On Thursday, U.S. envoy Christopher Hill said progress has been made.

U.S. Envoy Christopher Hill: “We are dealing not only with denuclearization, but we are dealing with some of the problems in the region, some of the problems in the region caused by the region’s difficult history. This type of ambitious undertaking hasn’t been tried before, so we’ve got a lot of work to do. But we think if we can get this first good step, it will give us some momentum to get to the next step and the step after that.”
