BREAKING: In statement via KCNA, North Korea's foreign ministry casts doubt on its involvement with US proposal for more talks in 2 weeks, says it does not expect the US to come up with a satisfactory proposal within that time
Spokesman for North Korea's foreign ministry says that they are not willing to negotiate unless US takes practical steps to end its hostile policies, and reiterates that the US has until the end of this year to come up with a new approach
"The trite stance shown by the delegates of the US side at the negotiations venue made us feel that our expectations were no better than an empty hope and rather increased a doubt as to whether the U.S. truly has a stand to solve the issue through dialogue", N.Korea official says
"At the negotiations, the US side maintained its former stand, seemingly showing that it has brought no new package, but repeated equivocal insistence that consecutive and intensive negotiations are necessary, yet not presenting any signs of calculation and guarantee," statement
"The U.S. has actually not made any preparations for the negotiations but sought to meet its political goal of abusing the DPRK-U.S. dialogue for its domestic political events on schedule," North Korea foreign ministry spokesman says
"The U.S. is spreading a completely ungrounded story that both sides are open to meet after two weeks but... it is not likely at all that it can produce a proposal commensurate to the expectations of the DPRK and to the concerns of the world in just fortnight," North Korea said.
"The fate of the future DPRK-U.S. dialogue depends on the U.S. attitude, and the end of this year is its deadline." Full text of latest North Korea statement after talks fell apart in Sweden on Saturday:
