FBI主管对中国2008北京奥运安全筹备印象深刻 (FBI Chief Impressed With China's Security Preparations for 2008 Beijing Olympics)

美国联邦调查局局长罗伯特.米勒星期三在北京表示，他预计这次奥运会将是安全的。米勒星期一抵达北京，讨论美国联邦调查局与中国警方和安全官员在奥运会期间可能合作的途径。北京奥运会将于8月8号开幕，8月24号结束。

米勒没有说明美国联邦调查局要提供哪些帮助。他强调说，重点将放在保障奥运会场所不受到潜在袭击。米勒没有提到扩大这个机构目前在中国人数有限的工作人员的计划。FBI2002年在北京设置了一个联络处。

U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation Director Robert Mueller says Wednesday in Beijing that he anticipates that the Olympics will be secure and safe. Mueller arrived in Beijing on Monday to discuss ways the FBI could cooperate with Chinese police and security officials during the Games, which open on August eighth and run to the 24th.

He did not say what kind of support the FBI would provide, stressing that the focus would be on securing Olympic venues from potential attacks. He did not mention any plans to build up the agency's small presence in China. The FBI set up a liaison office in Beijing in 2002.

北韩领导人在美国官员到访前会晤中国特使 (North Korean Leader Meets With Chinese Envoy Ahead of US Visit)

北韩很少公开露面的领导人金正日星期三与到访的一名中国特使举行了一次罕见的会谈。同时，美国正在加大努力，重新启动有关平壤核项目的会谈。

北韩官方的朝中社说，中国这个代表团由中国共产党高级官员王家瑞率领。报导说，金正日与王家瑞共进了午餐，进行了一次“热情友好”的会谈，但没有提供更多的细节。这次访问一天后，美国国务院分管北韩事务的专家金成计划访问平壤。金成说，在访问期间，他将敦促北韩尽早提交一份完整的核项目清单。预计金成将在北韩访问三天。

North Korea's reclusive leader Kim Jong Il held a rare meeting with a visiting Chinese envoy Wednesday just as the United States is stepping up efforts to restart talks on Pyongyang's nuclear program.

North Korea's Central News Agency says the Chinese delegation was led by senior Communist Party official Wang Jiarui. The report says Kim had lunch with Wang, and that they had a "warm and friendly" discussion, but did not give any other details. The visit comes one day before Sung Kim, a U.S. State Department expert on North Korea, prepares to visit Pyongyang. Sung Kim says that during his visit, he will press North Korea to deliver a complete list of its nuclear programs as soon as possible. His visit is expected to last three-days.
