| Norks Call for 'Unconditional, Early' Talks with South | ||
| 2011-01-06 | ||
| North Korea says it wants to reduce tensions on the Korean Peninsula by holding what it calls "unconditional and early" talks with the South. Running out of tree bark and grass soup? North Korea's government, political parties and social organizations issued a statement carried by the official news media Wednesday, saying they are ready to meet "anyone anywhere" for dialogue on the future of inter-Korean relations. "Just buy us dinner!" But South Korean officials dealing with the North were dismissive of the offer, saying they want actions, not words from Pyongyang. "If we buy you dinner, how do we know you'll put out afterwards?"
The United States also called on North Korea to demonstrate it is serious about wanting to resume dialogue with South Korea and other parties in nuclear disarmament talks. State Department spokesman Philip Crowley reiterated Wednesday that Pyongyang must commit to stopping what he called "provocations" and agree to carry out its obligation from a 2005 denuclearization agreement. | ||
