The United States on Wednesday renewed its call for the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) to return to the six-party talks.
"We have no indication that North Korea has yet agreed to return to the table," State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said at a news briefing.
"We reiterate we remain prepared to hold the talks with no preconditions, and we urge North Korea to return to the table for serious discussions so that international concerns about its nuclear programs can be resolved and so that North Korea can end its international isolation," Boucher said.
The United States has said it remains committed to the six-party talks even though the DPRK declared on Feb. 10 to withdraw from the talks.
Three rounds of the six-party talks have been held to try to resolve the nuclear confrontation between the United States and the DPRK. The six-party talks have been stalled since June last year as the DPRK accused the United States of adopting a hostile policy towards DPRK.
