NORTH KOREA

The new U.S. special representative for North Korea said Monday he looks forward to Pyongyang giving a "positive response soon" to Washington's dialogue offer, referring to North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's recent remarks that Pyongyang should be ready for both dialogue and confrontation. Ambassador Sung Kim made the remarks during a meeting with Seoul's top nuclear envoy, Noh Kyu-duk, in Seoul, saying Washington will also be prepared for either dialogue or confrontation. "We will be prepared for either, because you know, we are still waiting to hear back from Pyongyang for a meeting," he said. "Hopefully dialogue indicates that we will get a positive response soon."
