N. Korea rejects 'humiliating' dialogue with US
None
North Korea said Tuesday it would not agree to a "humiliating" dialogue with the United States and that talks were only possible if Washington abandoned its "hostile" policy and nuclear threats.
"We do not oppose dialogue but cannot sit face-to-face at the humiliating dialogue table with the other party who is wielding a nuclear stick," a foreign ministry spokesman said. The statement came a day after US Secretary of State John Kerry said that Washington was ready to talk to North Korea but that Pyongyang had to take "meaningful steps" to honor its international commitments.
