A North Korean diplomat claims Pyongyang is
open to suspending its nuclear and ballistic
missile tests, if the U.S. meets certain pre-conditions.
North Korea's ambassador to India, Kye Chun-yong
, said in an interview with Indian media,
that one of those conditions... is the U.S.
halting its large-scale military exercises.
He said Pyongyang could freeze the country's
weapons programs, if Washington was willing
to meet their demands.
A similar agreement was struck between the
two countries in 2012, when North Korea agreed
to temporarily halt its nuclear and missile
tests, in exchange for food aid from the United
States.
However, that deal fell apart just two months
later, when the regime launched what it claimed
to be a satellite rocket.
