Chinese media have reported that a North Korean envoy, currently visiting China, said they are ready for "dialogue with all the relevant parties".

Vice Marshal Choe Ryong-hae met senior Chinese official Liu Yunshan and discussed the recent crisis, which saw Pyongyang threatening South Korea and the US with missile strikes.

Liu said that China along with other concerned parties support denuclearisation and called for a return to talks.

Choe said North Korea is "willing to accept the suggestion of the Chinese side and launch dialogue with all relevant parties", according to Xinhua.

Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
