MOSCOW/SEOUL, Oct. 22 (Yonhap) -- A North Korean diplomat has said that Pyongyang will not return to multilateral talks until it resolves issues with the United States, a source said Sunday.
Choe Son-hui, director-general of the North American department of North Korea's foreign ministry, made the remark during a session at an international forum on nonproliferation in Moscow on Saturday, according to the source, who attended the event.
The current crisis on the Korean Peninsula is due to the United States' hostile policy against the North, she said, adding Pyongyang will not return to any multilateral talks, including the six-party talks, until it deals with Washington, according to the source.
