North Korea has accused the US of attaching 'unjust conditions' to its offer of talks on Pyongyang's military programmes. <br/><br/>In a rare statement yesterday at the UN Security Council, Deputy Ambassador of North Korea, Kim Ryong said that it would be a 'fatal miscalculation' by countries to believe that the latest sanctions imposed by the Council will deter the country from developing its nuclear forces.<br/>'<br/>Ryong said, it does not make sense when US professes for dialogue with unjust preconditions attached and by applying maximum pressure. The United States has said it is willing to talk to North Korea if it halts its missile and nuclear tests.<br/>'<br/>North Korea has dismissed the Security Council as a political tool of the United States and has rarely participated in its meetings, even on those that concern Pyongyang directly. <br/>
