北 "美 올바른 셈법 갖고 나와야... 시한은 연말"
North Korea is urging the U.S. to change its approach to negotiations what the regime is calling its "calculations."
It's also reminding Washington that the deadline for their nuclear negotiations is the end of the year.
The official in charge of U.S. affairs at Pyeongyang's foreign ministry, Kwon Jong-gun, issued the statement on Thursday.
He said North Korea-U.S. dialogue won't resume unless the U.S. offers a realistic measure that satisfies both sides.
He stressed that the deadline is indeed the end of this year and the North means it.
The official denounced South Korea as well, saying Pyeongyang and Washington, as the two parties involved, don't need South Korea's mediation.
He said that despite Seoul's claims that dialogue is going on behind the scenes, nothing, in fact, is happening.
