The fourth six-party talks will take a two-week recess after a plenary meeting Sunday morning, Russian chief delegate Alexander Alexeyev said in Beijing on Saturday night.
Alexeyev told reporters that the Korean Peninsula nuclear talks might be resumed after two weeks.
He described the current talks as "fruitful," since all sides reached unprecedented understanding and consensus on many issues.
The recess does not mean the current round of talks achieved no progress, he said.
Diplomats from China, North Korea, the United States, South Korea, Russia and Japan started the ongoing talks on July 26 after a 13-month delay.
