ADVERTISEMENT North Korea, which had been stoking tensions with nuclear and missile tests, has been markedly conciliatory toward the U.S. and South Korea since freeing two American journalists following a trip to Pyongyang by former President Bill Clinton earlier this month. It has since freed a South Korean worker it held for more than four months, agreed to lift restrictions on border crossings with the South, and pledged to resume suspended joint inter-Korean projects and reunions of families separated during the Korean War over five decades ago. North Korean leader Kim Jong Il also sent a delegation to Seoul to mourn late former South Korean President Kim Dae-jung. It was the first time North Korean officials have visited the South since ties frayed badly after conservative President Lee Myung-bak took office in Seoul last year. The delegation met Lee on Sunday. South Korean newspapers reported Monday that Kim Jong Il sent word via the delegation that he wants to hold a summit with Lee _ a significant about-face by a nation that has heaped harsh criticism on the conservative, pro-American former businessman for his hard-line stance toward Pyongyang. Lee's office quickly denied the reports, saying the president and North Korean envoys held general discussions on improving relations between the two sides during a meeting Sunday, but nothing related to a summit was discussed. Despite the series of overtures from Pyongyang, Seoul and Washington remained firm that they need to see North Korea taking concrete steps on ending its nuclear programs before they consider softening their stance on a nation known for backtracking on agreements. North Korea has long balanced stoking tensions with conciliatory overtures to extract concessions and head off sanctions. Yoo Ho-yeol, a professor of North Korean studies at Korea University, said Pyongyang's gestures alone will not be enough to change South Korea's basic policy. "What North Korea wants is full-fledged economic aid (from the South)," Yoo said. "But I think that would be possible only when it unveils key steps for denuclearization." After a long impasse in the nuclear standoff, Pyongyang carried out its first-ever nuclear test in 2006. The bold move resulted in a U.N. sanctions resolution, but the North got away unscathed by agreeing to return to the negotiating table. Subsequent talks made some progress, but stalled again later and led to Pyongyang's second nuclear test in May. South Korea and the U.S. have repeatedly said they won't repeat the same mistake again. Seoul's Foreign Ministry spokesman Moon Tae-young said Monday that South Korea and the U.S. are in agreement that they won't change their stance on North Korea and will keep implementing sanctions unless there is a "fundamental change" in Pyongyang's attitude about denuclearization. "We are sticking to our existing position that we will continue faithfully carrying out U.N. resolutions while urging North Korea to return to six-party talks" on its nuclear programs, Moon said of the outcome of talks over the weekend between U.S. special envoy Stephen Bosworth and South Korean officials. The suspended six-party talks included the two Koreas, the U.S., China, Russia and Japan. Bosworth was in Seoul to attend Kim Dae-jung's funeral. Despite easing tensions, North Korea is still holding and investigating four South Korean fishermen seized late last month after their boat strayed into North Korean waters off the peninsula's east coast. And North Korea's top military officer threatened Monday to retaliate against sanctions in a diatribe deploying the country's trademark rhetoric. "The unchanged position of our military and people is that we respond to sanctions with merciless retaliation and confrontation with full-fledged confrontation," Ri Yong Ho, chief of the military's general staff, said in a speech shown on North Korean state television. Washington, for its part, has been keeping up pressure on Pyongyang to dismantle its nuclear programs, sending a senior official to Asia to seek support for stringent implementation of the U.N. sanctions meant to punish the North for its May 25 nuclear test. The sanctions approved by the U.N. Security Council in June banned member states from selling or supplying arms and weapons-related material to North Korea except for small arms and light weapons, and authorized member states to inspect North Korean vessels suspected of carrying banned weapons or materials. On Monday, envoy Philip Goldberg met in Seoul with the South's chief nuclear negotiator and said a complete, verifiable denuclearization of North Korea is "certainly our goal," and the U.N. sanctions resolution "very much lays that out." He told reporters the overall goal is "to bring about a return to denuclearization and end to those missile programs that are violations not just of the U.N. resolutions but also of the previous commitments made by North Korea" during international disarmament talks. __ Associated Press Writer Hyung-Jin Kim contributed to this report.
