North Korea’s foreign ministry has lashed out at the US for not lifting sanctions against the country.
It said it had made various goodwill gestures but the US was still following an “outdated acting script” and jeopardising any progress.
North Korea remains under a range of international and US sanctions over its nuclear programme and missile tests.
South Korea says it has caught three companies importing coal and iron from North Korea in breach of UN sanctions.
The US wants full nuclear disarmament before sanctions on the North can be lifted.
