Picture: GETTY IMAGES/KOREA SUMMIT PRESS POOLKim Jong-Un’s sister says the US has “wrong” views in thinking North Korea might be offering an opening to return to talks, in comments coming shortly after an envoy for President Joe Biden said the US was ready for dialogue “anywhere, any time” with Pyongyang.
“It seems that the US may interpret the situation in such a way as to seek a comfort for itself. The expectation, which they chose to harbour the wrong way, would plunge them into a greater disappointment,” KCNA quoted her as saying. At the plenary meeting of the central committee of his ruling Workers’ Party of Korea, leader Kim Jong Un said North Korea is ready for “both dialogue and confrontation”, with the US, making the highest-level suggestion of talks since Biden replaced Donald Trump, who met Kim three times.
Sung Kim said after discussions Monday in Seoul with his South Korean and Japanese counterparts that the Biden administration’s policy called for “a calibrated, practical approach”, which includes possible diplomacy with North Korea.
