SEOUL (AFP) — North Korea invited US envoy Christopher Hill to Pyongyang in an apparent bid to renew stalled talks over its nuclear weapons program.
But it also threatened to take the "strongest" but unspecified measure if Washington maintained a "hostile policy" towards the Stalinist state.
The country's foreign ministry spokesman said Hill, a US assistant secretary of state, would be welcome in Pyongyang if Washington sincerely wanted to uphold a joint statement agreed last September at six-party talks.
"If the US has a true political intention to implement the joint statement we kindly invite once again the head of the US side's delegation to the talks to visit Pyongyang and directly explain it to us," he told the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).
