South Korea on Monday rejected the latest proposal by the North to hold military talks, saying Pyongyang first needed to take steps towards abandoning its nuclear arsenal.
The North’s leader, Kim Jong-Un, offered the military dialogue during a speech to a recent congress of the ruling Workers’ Party — the first event of its kind for more than 35 years.
But Seoul’s defense ministry effectively rejected the proposal that it said made no mention of Pyongyang’s widely-condemned nuclear weapons programme.
