US has reiterated its offer of dialogue with the Asian dictatorship.

"I continue to stand ready to meet with my North Korean counterparts anywhere, at anytime," the US special envoy to North Korea, Sung Kim, said in Seoul on Monday.

Alluding to Pyongyang's criticism of ongoing military exercises by US and South Korean forces, Kim stressed to journalists that his country had no hostile intentions.

Among other things, Kim consulted with South Korean nuclear negotiator Noh Kyu Duk on further joint action in the dispute about North Korea's nuclear weapons programme.
