The British Prime Minister Tony Blair says China has indicated a second round of talks on the North Korean nuclear crisis was likely in "a few weeks".
"I'm not sure what has been said officially, but from my conversation they were certainly talking about a few weeks," Mr Blair told reporters today - a day after meeting China's leaders in Beijing.
China brokered talks in April between the United States and North Korea on the crisis and has made a strong diplomatic push in recent weeks to get the parties together for a second round.
