South Korea has dismissed an apparent offer from North Korea of unconditional talks to ease tensions.
An official at the Unification Ministry in Seoul said it was not a serious proposal for dialogue, adding the offer was part of a propaganda campaign.
The US has also responded coolly, saying the North must first indicate it is serious about ending its provocations.
US envoy Stephen Bosworth is in China on a round of regional talks.
The visit by Mr Bosworth - America's top official on North Korea - is part of a fresh round of diplomacy on the issue.

North and South areas of the One Korea continue to be belligerent brothers each expecting Great Forces to come to their rescue whilst still provoking and sometimes killing each other. They should be left alone to work things out in the way they know how. It wouldn't take them long and it is THEIR business.
I'm pretty sure if they were left to their own fate they'd work things out one way or another pretty quickly...and knowing it was just up to them, well, this may even bring about the necessity for peace. If neither side can win, then war is far too expensive.
