North Korea’s foreign ministry has mentioned that it is up to the US to decide if wants to hold bilateral talks with North Korea for discussing the nuclear weapons programme of the nation.
The spokesperson also mentioned that is Washington is not ready for this, then North Korea would "go its own way”.
"As we have shown generosity and expressed a position that we can have multilateral negotiations after talks with the US, it is time for the US to make a decision," the spokesman said.
North Korea linked its return to the six-party talks, which it unilaterally quit in April, with the progress of direct negotiations with Washington.
The US remains cautious on bilateral talks and urges North Korea to return to the six-party talks.
The country conducted its second nuclear test in May.
The North's deputy nuclear envoy, Ri Gun, met US officials during a week-long trip to the US in late October.
