N. Korea will seek to end hostile relation with U.S.: KCNA

SEOUL, Feb. 15 (Yonhap) -- North Korea's No. 2 leader Kim Yong-nam will seek to
end hostile relations with the U.S. through "dialogue and negotiation", the
communist country's official media outlet Korea Central News Agency (KCNA)
reported Monday.

Kim will also push to mend ties and unite with South Korea by promoting
reconciliation and cooperation, KCNA said, citing Kim's report at a Pyongyang
meeting held to commemorate the 68th birthday of the North's head Kim Jong-il.
"We are determined to improve North-South relations and pave the way for national
unification, based on the June 15 joint declaration and Oct. 4 declaration," Kim
was quoted as saying by the KCNA.
