The chief US negotiator to the six-party talks on the Korean Peninsula nuclear issue said today the latest draft common document "narrowed differences" among all sides and it was still possible that an agreement could be reached.?

Christopher Hill made the remarks on the result of last night's negotiations as he left his hotel today, adding that the draft was "really designed to narrow differences and maybe even get to the point where we can really agree on something."
?
It should be the last draft of the common document, Hill said, calling it a "negotiated document" and a "good draft."
?
He said the delegations would make a "final comment" on the draft today. "We have sent it back to Washington and the US government will look into it very carefully."
?
The document, proposed by the Chinese delegation on July 30, has been debated for nearly four days and revised three times.
?
The heads of delegations to the six-party talks, involving China, Japan, North Korea, Russia, South Korea and the US were scheduled to meet again this afternoon.
?
Hill said he would have a one-on-one meeting with the Japanese delegation before discussing the text of the draft with the Chinese delegation.
