Pyongyang will not return to dialogue with the U.S. unless all its demands are accepted by Washington, a top adviser to North Korea’s foreign ministry said in a statement on Saturday.
The position was communicated in remarks by Kim Kye Gwan, which also confirmed that U.S. President Donald Trump directly sent a "personal letter" to mark Kim Jong Un's birthday – the first apparent DPRK confirmation of the North Korean leader's birthday being in January.
