N.Korea claims US rejected nuke envoy invitation to Pyongyang / YTN

North Korea has denounced the United States for having rejected a recent invitation to send its top nuclear envoy to Pyongyang. The North's official news agency KCNA on Sunday quoted a foreign ministry spokesman as saying that the communist regime invited U.S. nuclear ambassador Sung Kim to visit Pyongyang 'as he expressed his willingness to meet with his counterpart (of North Korea) during his visit to Asia this time.' The North Korean spokesman accused Washington of rejecting the invitation and thus trying to shift the blame for the deadlock of the six-party talks aimed to make the Korean Peninsula free of nuclear arms on the North. During his Asian trip, Kim said in Beijing on Friday that Washington was 'open to engagement, substantive dialogue with North Korea about the issue of denuclearization'. But he added that it was up to the North to show it was serious about ending its nuclear program. ▶ 기사 원문 : http://www.ytn.co.kr/_pn/1207_2015020... ▶ 제보 안내 : http://goo.gl/gEvsAL, 모바일앱, [email protected], #2424 ▣ YTN 유튜브 채널 구독 : http://goo.gl/Ytb5SZ [ 한국 뉴스 채널 와이티엔 / Korea News Channel YTN ]
