North Korea rejects Sweden's mediation to hold a dialogue with U.S

North Korea's leader Kim Jong-un

North Korea rejected on Tuesday Sweden's mediation to hold a dialogue with the United States, the state-run Korean Central News Agency reported.

Kim Myong Gil, who has led Pyongyang's negotiations with Washington over denuclearization, told KCNA that North Korea has received a proposal by the United States to have talks again in December through Sweden.

But Kim said, "Now that the DPRK and the U.S. know each other's stand so well, Sweden no longer needs to work for the DPRK-U.S. dialogue, I think," according to the news agency.

DPRK is the acronym for North Korea's official name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
