“Refrain from this - these are my words,” the diplomat said, answering the question with what words he would address the North Korean side in connection with the possible conduct of new missile tests. His words are quoted by RIA Novosti.

“We must provide an opportunity and space for dialogue,” Nebenzya added.

According to the agency, Pyongyang called on the American side to work out a decision on denuclearization and give the DPRK security guarantees by the end of the year.

After the failed October talks between the US and the DPRK in Sweden, the North Korean side announced the failure of attempts to reach an agreement, noting that the American delegation came empty-handed.
