BEIJING, Feb 9 (Reuters) - North Korea's delegate to six-party talks on its nuclear weapons programme said on Friday there had been agreement on some issues with the United States.

Chief negotiator Kim Kye-gwan said: "We have been able to reach agreement on some issues", after meeting U.S. delegate Christopher Hill.

"There are still differences on a series of issues in the overall talks, so we will try to work them out," he said. "You should not try to count the chickens before they hatch, as somebody said."

Since 2003, the talks have brought together host China, South and North Korea, the United States, Japan and Russia in a tortuous effort to curtail Pyongyang's nuclear plans.
