North Korea is ready for dialogue with the United States and does not rule out the introduction of a moratorium on nuclear and missile tests, said North Korea's ambassador to India, Ke Chung Yong.

Diplomat TV channel WION has named the conditions for starting negotiations with Washington.

Ke Yong Chun said that Pyongyang may freeze nuclear and missile tests if the United States will stop large-scale military exercises in the area. The diplomat believes that the Korean issue should be solved peacefully.

In this case, the North Korean authorities are ready to sit down at the negotiating table "at any time" but "without any preconditions".

The ambassador said that North Korea is ready for the military option because this is the option that has repeatedly been threatened by the US president Donald Trump.
