SEOUL (Reuters) -North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said he is willing to restore severed inter-Korean hotlines next month, but accused the United States of proposing talks without changing its \u201chostile policy\u201d to the country, state media KCNA reported on Thursday.<\/p>

Kim made the remarks at the reclusive country\u2019s rubber-stamp parliament, the Supreme People\u2019s Assembly, which gathered for a second day to discuss the country\u2019s political, economic and social agenda.<\/p>\n

North Korea this week test-fired a previously unseen hypersonic missile, joining a heated race led by major military powers, and again demanded that Seoul and Washington scrap their \u201cdouble standards\u201d over weapons development.<\/p>\n

Kim expressed his willingness to reconnect inter-Korean hotlines starting from October, while criticising the South\u2019s \u201cdelusion\u201d over what it calls military provocations from the North.<\/p>\n

North Korea severed the hotlines in early August in protest against joint South Korea-U.S. military drills, just days after reopening them for the first time in a year.<\/p>\n

The decision to reactivate the lines is to help \u201crealise the expectations and desire of the entire Korean nation\u201d for recovery and durable peace in cross-border relations, Kim said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have neither aim nor reason to provoke South Korea and no idea to harm it,\u201d he said, according to the official KCNA news agency.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is necessary for South Korea to promptly get rid of the delusion, crisis awareness and awareness of getting harmed that it should deter the North\u2019s provocation.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Kim took a tougher tone toward Washington, accusing President Joe Biden\u2019s new administration of \u201cemploying more cunning ways and methods\u201d in pursuing military threats and a hostile policy towards North Korea, while still offering talks.<\/p>\n

The Biden administration has said it had reached out to Pyongyang to break an impasse over talks aimed at dismantling its nuclear and missile programmes in return for U.S. sanctions relief.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe U.S. is touting \u2018diplomatic engagement\u2019 and \u2018dialogue without preconditions\u2019 but it is no more than a petty trick for deceiving the international community and hiding its hostile acts and an extension of the hostile policy pursued by the successive U.S. administrations,\u201d Kim said.<\/p>\n

Analysts say the North\u2019s carrot-and-stick approach is aimed at securing international recognition as a nuclear weapons state and driving a wedge between Seoul and Washington, taking advantage of South Korean President Moon Jae-in\u2019s desire for a diplomatic legacy before his term ends in May.<\/p>\n

Kim Jong Un also said that in order to formally end the 1950-53 Korean War, which Moon recently suggested at the U.N. General Assembly, both Koreas should first withdraw \u201cunfair and double-dealing attitude and hostile viewpoint and policies\u201d toward each other.<\/p>\n
