Seoul: North Korea on Tuesday said it has no immediate intent to resume a dialogue with the United States as US Deputy Secretary of State Stephen Biegun arrived in South Korea for discussions on stalled nuclear diplomacy.
In a statement released through the North’s official Korean Central News Agency, senior North Korean foreign ministry official Kwon Jong Gun also ridiculed nonsensical calls by South Korea for revived negotiations between the US and North, saying it has lost its relevance as a mediator.
The State Department said Biegun will discuss cooperation on a range of issues in meetings this week with officials in South Korea and Japan. (AP)
