US hopes for positive response from DPRK over dialogue offer
    2021-06-22  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

A U.S. nuclear envoy said yesterday that the United States hoped for a positive response from the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) over its dialogue offer.

Sung Kim, the newly appointed U.S. special envoy for the DPRK, made the remarks in Seoul during the trilateral talks with his South Korean and Japanese counterparts, Noh Kyu-duk and Takehiro Funakoshi, according to Yonhap news agency.

“We continue to hope that the DPRK will respond positively to our outreach and our offer to meet anywhere, anytime without preconditions,” Sung Kim was quoted as saying.

The U.S. envoy arrived in Seoul on Saturday for a five-day visit, marking his first trip since he took office last month.

Meanwhile, U.S. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said Sunday that the United States regarded the recent comments made by Kim Jong Un, top leader of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), as an “interesting signal.”

The DPRK leader said Thursday that his country should get prepared for both dialogue and confrontation with the United States, especially for confrontation, to protect the DPRK’s dignity and interests for independent development, according to the official Korean Central News Agency.

“His comments this week we regard as an interesting signal. And we will wait to see whether they are followed up with any kind of more direct communication to us about a potential path forward,” Sullivan said in an interview with ABC News.

He reaffirmed that the Biden administration is prepared to engage in “principled negotiations” with Pyongyang to deal with its nuclear program.
