Kim also said South Korea вЂњstill follows the US,вЂќ and that вЂњmutual respect must be guaranteed and unfair views and double standards attitude droppedвЂќ before the countries could declare an official end to the 1950-53 Korean war, which ended with a truce but not a peace treaty. Under Joe Biden, the US has repeatedly offered to meet North Korean representatives anywhere, at any time, without preconditions, while saying it will pursue denuclearisation.Д«ut Kim condemned the declarations as вЂњnothing more than a facade to mask their deception and hostile acts and an extension of hostile policy from past administrationsвЂќ, the official Rodong Sinmun newspaper reported. Talks between Pyongyang and Washington have been at a standstill since the collapse of the February 2019 Hanoi summit between Kim and then-president Donald Trump over what the North would be willing to give up in return for sanctions relief. Speaking in parliament on Wednesday, the North Korean leader accused the US of continuing a вЂњhostile policyвЂќ against his nuclear-armed country, despite the Biden administrationвЂ™s offers of negotiations without preconditions. Kim Jong-un has condemned a US offer of dialogue as a вЂњfacadeвЂќ, state media reported, but said he had ordered officials to restore communication lines with South Korea to вЂњpromote peaceвЂќ.
