N. Korea says it supports dialogue but will never ``beg'' for it
North Korea said Thursday it supports dialogue aimed at defusing regional tensions and denuclearizing the Korean Peninsula, but will ``never beg'' for it, as New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson landed in the communist state.
North Korea rejected South Korean appeals Thursday to ease rising tension on the peninsula, while the South's new president scolded the North for recent provocations and urged it to engage in talks.
