North Korea must show it is serious about talks offer: USA

North Korea must show it is serious about its offer of "unconditional" talks with South Korea, the United States said on Wednesday, urging further steps to be taken.

"It needs to demonstrate it is sincere in the offer," State Department spokesman Philip Crowley told reporters, noting US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton discussed the plan with visiting Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi.

"There are still things that North Korea has to do to demonstrate a seriousness of purpose," Crowley said.

He urged the North to take "useful steps," including ending its provocative behavior, recommitting itself to a 2005 declaration for nuclear disarmament and taking responsibility for sinking a South Korean warship.

Washington's stand echoed that of its ally Seoul.

"What's more important is sincerity in North Korea's attitude," an unnamed official from Seoul's unification ministry, which handles relations with the North, told Yonhap news agency.

Strange days. Since when did the Protector turn into Speaker of South Korea... If I am not mistaken, the North Koreans are talking to their cousin -> South Koreans. Americans are Europeans and South Koreans are Asians, it's shallow and easy to see through. Unless someone wants to stop the sanity, present sense.
