North Korea invites U.S.

South Korean media reported Aug. 25 that North Korea had invited two top U.S. envoys to visit Pyongyang for the first nuclear talks since President Barack Obama took office. U.S. State Department spokesman Ian Kelly said neither special envoy Stephen Bosworth nor nuclear negotiator Sung Kim had immediate plans to go.

North Korea has long sought direct negotiations with Washington. The U.S. has said it is willing to talk bilaterally, but only within the framework of the disarmament talks that the North withdrew from in April.

"Bilateral contacts and discussions can be part of that framework, but the six-party talks and multilateral approach remain central to the way we will proceed," U.S. envoy Philip Goldberg told reporters in Tokyo on Aug. 26, during his Asian tour to seek support for enforcing U.N. sanctions on Pyongyang for its May 25 nuclear test.
