Report: N. Korea Not Interested in Talks

3 minutes ago World - AP Asia

BEIJING - China's official news agency cited an unnamed North Korean foreign ministry spokesman as saying Saturday that Pyongyang is not ready to return to six-party nuclear disarmament talks and does not even want a direct meeting with the United States.

"The DPRK has no justification to take bilateral talks ... on the nuclear issue of the Korean Peninsula with the United States now," Xinhua quoted the North Korean official as saying. DPRK is an acronym for the North's official name — Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

The spokesman said Pyongyang was unwilling to hold direct talks with Washington because of the "hostile" U.S. policy toward North Korea (news - web sites) and its persistence in trying to topple North Korea's regime, Xinhua said.

It's probably the backlash to this dated last night, which says that NK is ready to return to the 6 party talks:
