  BEIJING, Dec. 4 (Xinhuanet) -- China has been negotiating with every side to participate in the six-party talks on the Korean nuclear issue and making sound political preparations for the second round of talks, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Liu Jianchao said here Thursday.

  Liu said at a press conference that the priority of the negotiations was to confirm the common views that the six sides had reached and create conditions to help the second round of talks yield results.

  The Chinese side was negotiating with the six sides on the direction of the talks, he added.

  The six parties now share some stances, all hoping the talks will be well prepared and yield results, according to Liu.

  The Chinese side is accelerating mediation efforts and expecting understanding, support and coordination from concerned parties and the international society, he said.
