“US Secretary of State John Kerry Thursday dismissed a set of pre-conditions laid out by North Korea for talks as ‘unacceptable,’ calling them an opening ‘gambit’ from Pyongyang. The isolated North on Thursday responded for the first time to an offer from Kerry during his weekend visit to the Korean peninsula to return to the negotiating table in a bid to defuse heightened nuclear tensions. The demands by the North’s main military body included the withdrawal of UN sanctions and a permanent end to South Korea-US joint military drills.”
