North Korea accused the U.S. of overreacting to its recent missile test and questioned the sincerity of an offer from Washington to talk
"It is time to engage in sustained and substantive dialogue toward the goal of complete denuclearisation of the Korean Peninsula," Thomas-Greenfield told reporters ahead of a U.N. Security Council meeting over the North's latest missile test.
People watch a TV broadcasting file footage of a news report on North Korea firing a ballistic missile off its east coast, in Seoul, South Korea, October 19, 2021. REUTERS/Kim Hong-Ji Kim was expected to visit Seoul on Friday for talks with his South Korean counterpart, Yonhap news agency reported on Thursday.
"To criticise the DPRK for developing and test-firing the same weapon system as the one the U.S. possesses or is developing is a clear expression of double standards," the spokesperson said in a statement carried by KCNA.
