"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.
