The powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has denounced as “inappropriate” the recent comments by South Korean president following his country’s ballistic missile test.

North and South Korea announce the restoration of cross-border communications, which had been severed amid rising tensions more than a year ago.

Two days ahead of a summit with US President Joe Biden, South Korean President Moon Jae-in seeks to use the opportunity of his visit to Washington to revive long-stalled talks with North Korea.

South Korean President Moon Jae-in plans to use his final year in office to reach an “irreversible peace” on the Korean Peninsula.

South Korean President Moon Jae-in urges US President Joe Biden to initiate a new round of diplomacy with North Korea, following unsuccessful talks between Pyongyang and the former US administration that Seoul also brokered.

North Korea dismisses the possibility of holding fresh talks with the United States on the demilitarization of the Korean Peninsula as long as Washington pursues a "hostile policy" toward Pyongyang.

South Korean President Moon and US President Biden agree to draw up a joint "comprehensive" strategy on North Korea and closely cooperate to bring about the denuclearization of the country.
