Multiple North Korean state-run outlets on Monday reiterated calls for the U.S. to take “corresponding practical actions” to improve bilateral relations, in comments that come amid a high-profile visit by U.S. Special Representative for North Korea Stephen Biegun to South Korea this week.

In a commentary, outer-track outlet the Uriminzokkiri reiterated Pyongyang’s position that it has taken “various practical measures” towards denuclearization.

“It is clear that that the bilateral relations can make a progress at a fast speed if the U.S. responds to the DPRK’s proactive and prior efforts with trustworthy measures and corresponding practical actions,” the commentary said.
