North Korea lists terms for talks with US and S Korea

North Korea ready to talk if UN sanctions against it are withdrawn

And the US and South Korea put an end to joint military drills.
 

North's demands is incomprehensible; South Korea's Foreign Ministry

The conditions for dialogue were outlined in a statement from the North's National Defence Commission and carried on official news agency KCNA.

North Korea has consistently cited the UN sanctions and the joint military drills between South Korea and the US as reasons for its rising rhetoric.

"If the US and the South enemies... genuinely want dialogue and negotiation, they should take these steps," the defence commission said.

"The first step will be withdrawing the UN Security Council resolutions cooked up on ridiculous grounds," the statement said.

"Second, you need to tell the whole world that you will not get involved in any rehearsal for a nuclear war that threatens our nation. Dialogues and war games can never go together," it added.

But a spokesman from South Korea's Foreign Ministry rejected the North's demands.
