North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has indicated that there is no reason for his country to avoid dialogue with the United States, provided Washington ceases to insist on denuclearisation.
This statement was reported by North Korea's state news agency, KCNA, following a meeting of the Supreme People's Assembly.
Kim also expressed positive sentiments towards U.S. President Donald Trump, recalling their previous engagements.
In July, Kim Yo Jong, Kim Jong Un's sister and a prominent figure in North Korean politics, articulated a similar stance. She stated that North Korea would be open to dialogue with the U.S. if Washington acknowledges the country as a permanent nuclear power and abandons its denuclearisation demands. She emphasised that any such talks should be based on mutual respect and recognition of North Korea's nuclear status.
