SEOUL, South Korea, Safar 1, 1437, Nov 13, 2015, SPA -- South Korea's president said Friday that she is open to talking directly with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un if the North makes progress in abandoning its nuclear bomb ambitions, AP reported. Park Geun-hye said in written answers to questions submitted by local and international news agencies that "there is no reason not to hold an inter-Korean summit if a breakthrough comes in solving the North Korean nuclear issue." "It will be possible only when the North comes forward for a proactive and sincere dialogue. What counts most is North Korea's sincerity and determination to act on its words," she wrote. North Korea is believed to have a handful of nuclear bombs and to be pursuing nuclear-armed missiles. --SPA 11:35 LOCAL TIME 08:35 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
