<p>A top US envoy has held &#8220;useful&#8221; talks with Chinese officials aimed at easing the threat of war on the Korean peninsula.</p>
<p>Stephen Bosworth met Wang Jiarui, who heads the Communist Party&#8217;s international affairs office, vice foreign minister Zhang Zhijun and other officials. </p>
<p>He hoped to gain information about a senior Chinese official&#8217;s recent meeting with North Korea&#8217;s leader Kim Jong Il.</p>
<p>A US embassy statement said: &#8220;Ambassador Bosworth and Chinese counterparts had useful consultations on how to coordinate moving forward in dealing with North Korea.&#8221; </p>
<p>Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Hong Lei confirmed Mr Bosworth&#8217;s meetings, saying: &#8220;The sides agreed to remain in contact on maintaining peace and stability on the Korean peninsula and over the six-party talks.&#8221;</p>
<p>The talks on North Korea&#8217;s nuclear programme involve the two Koreas, the US, China, Japan and Russia, but have been on hold for nearly two years.</p>
<p>China has come under growing pressure to push North Korea, its close ally, to change its behaviour after the Communist country shelled a South Korean island late last year, killing four people.</p>
<p>In Pyongyang, a North Korean official said that his government wants a &#8220;positive dialogue&#8221; with Seoul, saying inter-Korean ties are &#8220;now at their worst&#8221;.</p>
<p>&#8220;The issue of inter-Korean relations can never be solved by confrontation, and dialogue and negotiation is the only way out to solve the present grave situation,&#8221; said Kim Won Ho, councillor of the Secretariat of the Central Committee of the North&#8217;s Democratic Front for Korea&#8217;s Reunification.</p>
<p>Mr Bosworth met South Korean officials in Seoul on Wednesday, and said he was hopeful for &#8220;serious negotiations&#8221; soon on the North.</p>
