Spokesman for DPRK Foreign Ministry on Recent DPRK-U.S. Contact

KCNA

    Pyongyang, August 1 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the Foreign Ministry of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea today gave the following answer to a question put by KCNA as regards the recent New York contact between the DPRK and the U.S.: The DPRK-U.S. contact took place in New York on July 31 as regards the nuclear issue between the two countries.
    Of late there came proposals for holding three party and four party and having five party talks in the wake of the three party talks for the settlement of the nuclear issue between the DPRK and the U.S.
    Some time ago the U.S. informed the DPRK through a third party that the DPRK-U.S. bilateral talks may be held within the framework of multilateral talks.
    At the recent DPRK-U.S. talks the DPRK put forward a new proposal to have six party talks without going through the three party talks and to have the DPRK-U.S. bilateral talks there.
    The DPRK's proposal is now under discussion.
