Christopher Hill, U.S. assistant secretary of state and chief negotiator for the six-party talks, speaks to reporters as he arrives at his hotel in Beijing September 13, 2005. Six-party talks aimed at ending North Korea's nuclear weapons programmes reconvene in Beijing on Wednesday after a five-week recess, with Pyongyang and Washington still at an impasse over Pyongyang's demand for a civilian nuclear programme.
