North Korea on Saturday renewed its call for an early resumption of dialogue between the divided Koreas, proposing to hold such talks at least within a month.

The North earlier proposed "unconditional and early" resumption of talks between the two Koreas to defuse tension that arose after the North's sinking of a South Korean warship in March and then its bombing of a populated South Korean island in November.

The North's Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of the Fatherland on Saturday proposed the talks be held in the North's border town of Kaesong in late January or early February.
