| Subject: North Korea Proposes Talks with U.S.; AnCaps Reject the Ridiculous Proposal Sun Jun 16, 2013 6:03 am | |
| North Korea's authoritative National Defense Commission says there should be unconditional high level talks with the United States.
This comes following previous vows by Pyongyang to attack the United States and South Korea with nuclear weapons, threats not taken seriously during a period of escalated bellicose rhetoric from North Korea.
The North Korean proposal, (released Sunday morning Korea time) was introduced by announcers on state broadcasting as an “important announcement.”
A North Korean television announcer says “if the United States has true intent on defusing tensions on the Korean peninsula and ensuring peace and stability on the U.S. mainland and the region, it should not raise preconditions for dialogue and contact.”
There was no immediate response from the White House.
The initial reaction from analysts in Seoul is that the United States is unlikely to respond positively.
