Pyongyang says it is not interested in dialogues involving military threats, such as South Korea's introduction of the F-35 fighter jet. It is noteworthy that there will be an impact on the denuclearization talks, as the US and South Korea are trying to resume talks with North Korea after the ROK-US military training.

North Korea spoke in a spokesman for the Foreign Ministry, saying, "I'm not interested in dialogue with military threats."

North Korea has questioned the recent launch of the United States' medium-range missiles and the introduction of South Korean troops by the F-35 stealth fighter, and argued that military hostilities by the US and South Korea are slowing the dialogue.

He also argued, "I think it's a realistic way to turn more attention to strengthening physical deterrence."

This could be interpreted as a negative for the North American working negotiations, which are expected to resume soon.

North Korea, however, says it will not break the dialogue itself by stating that its position remains unchanged by dialogue and negotiation.

Yesterday, the special representative of the US NK policy meeting, the chief nuclear negotiator of the US and North Korea, has issued a message to promptly resume negotiations with North Korea.

But as North Korea reacts negatively to the dialogue, it may take some time before it resumes.
