SEOUL -- The United States took a step closer to dialogue with North Korea, expressing a hope the isolated country will accept the Biden administration's offer to meet "anywhere, anytime without preconditions."
Sung Kim, the U.S. special representative for North Korea, said during a trilateral meeting with South Korean and Japanese counterparts in Seoul on Monday that Washington will explore diplomacy with Pyongyang for the security of the country and its allies. It was the first meeting of the three countries since the conclusion of the U.S.'s North Korea policy review.
