In its editorial, The Korea Herald says that it would be inappropriate for Seoul to seek to expand room to manoeuvre in carrying forward inter-Korean projects when Pyongyang clings to its nuclear arsenal.

SEOUL : South Korea's presidential office has kept mum on North Korea's latest mockery of its efforts to facilitate nuclear talks between Washington and Pyongyang.

He said Pyongyang had earlier received a personal letter from President Trump on the occasion of Kim's birthday on Jan 8, adding that Seoul seems unaware that there is a special liaison channel between the US and North Korean leaders. In his New Year's Day message, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un warned of a"new strategic weapon" test and"shocking actual action" to increase pressure on the US to make concessions in the stalled nuclear negotiations.

It may seek to use its increased arsenal to demand that negotiations with the US focus on mutual reduction in nuclear arms rather than its denuclearisation. At this crucial juncture in the process of Pyongyang's denuclearisation, the Moon government should be in step with Washington to tighten sanctions on the Kim regime.
