We will go to the negotiating table anytime if there are mature conditions for the six-party talks thanks to the concerted efforts of the parties concerned in the future,

Why are hundreds of thousands of people dying in off-limit areas?

The Western media wonder why I am leading a reclusive life,

This happened over decades of hostile relations and I want to talk about it frankly,

The North Korean side will participate as scheduled in the fifth round of six-nation talks, ... North Korea is committed to the denuclearization of the (Korean) peninsula.

I want to apologize and it will never be allowed to happen again.
