The U.S. says it has been trying to engage North Korea by sending messages repeatedly despite Pyongyang’s apparent lack of interest in dialogue and its escalation of threats in the region.
“We have sent such messages in multiple ways — through third parties and directly, orally and in writing — and have included specific proposals on humanitarian cooperation and other topics for discussion,” a State Department spokesperson said.
“We have also emphasized our willingness to discuss practical steps both sides could take to address the security situation in the region,” the spokesperson continued via email to VOA’s Korean Service on April 26.
