North Korea has condemned the US for placing fresh sanctions on it and
called on the country to respond to its efforts to improve bilateral
ties.
North Korea remains unchanged in its will to implement
agreements made by the top leaders of North Korea and the United States
during their Singapore talks, the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA)
quoted a foreign ministry spokesperson as saying on Thursday.
Pyongyang
hoped that "goodwill measures" such as suspending nuclear tests and
intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) test fire, dismantling its
nuclear test ground and repatriating POW/MIA remains would contribute to
improving relations, Xinhua news agency reported.
"However,
the US responded to our expectation by inciting international sanctions
and pressure against North Korea," said a statement.
The US
Department of the Treasury earlier this month announced sanctions on an
individual and three entities -- including a Russian commercial bank --
for alleged links with the nuclear program of North Korea.
With
such moves, "one cannot expect any progress in the implementation of
North Korea-US.joint statement including the denuclearization, and
furthermore, there is no guarantee that the hard-won atmosphere of
stability on the Korean Peninsula will continue," said the spokesperson.
North
Korea top leader Kim Jong Un met US President Donald Trump in June in
Singapore, where they signed a joint statement, agreeing to push for
establishing diplomatic ties, building peace on the Korean Peninsula and
completely denuclearizing the peninsula together.
