We had a number of bilateral consultations in advance of the meetings in fact the first session starts tomorrow morning. The purpose of these bilateral meetings, we met with all five parties, was simply to have an opportunity to talk about how we see this round progressing. It was not an occasion to do any negotiating so at this point it's too early to see where we are, except to say all the meetings, including the meeting with Mr Kim and the DPRK (Democratic People's Republic of Korea), were very businesslike and I think everyone comes here with the understanding that we really do need to make progress in this round." 3.32 15.
