UN chief urges dialogue with North Korea

Author: Agencies

SEOUL: UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon on Thursday urged a return to talks with North Korea, during a visit to South Korea that has fuelled speculation of his presidential ambitions in his home country.

“We must find the path back to dialogue,” Ban said at a peace and security forum on the southern island of Jeju. Tensions between North and South Korea have been running high since Pyongyang conducted a fourth nuclear test in January.

In recent weeks, the North has made repeated proposals for military talks aimed at de-escalating the situation – but the South has dismissed the offer as an “insincere” propaganda ploy.
