"We do not feel any need to sit face to face in negotiations with the United States, because they consider the dialogue between our countries nothing more than a tool to overcome the internal political crisis," Tsoi Song Hee Interfax quoted the statement as saying.

It is noted that US Deputy Secretary of State Stephen Bigan plans to visit South Korea next week and discuss with Seoul representatives negotiations with the DPRK.

Earlier it was reported that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un postponed a plan of military action against South Korea.
