WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The United States reaffirmed its opposition to two-way talks with North Korea on its nuclear weapons program after the communist state on Friday again demanded bilateral discussions.
White House press secretary Scott McClellan said North Korea would have plenty of opportunities to raise issues directly with the United States if it agreed to resume six-party talks. Those have been on hold since Pyongyang withdrew last year.
North Korea stunned the world Thursday when it publicly admitted to having nuclear weapons and announced it was withdrawing from the multilateral negotiations.
The Bush administration consistently has opposed two-party talks, while North Korea has insisted on a bilateral nonaggression pact with the United States before it will consider dismantling its nuclear program.
As a result of direct talks, North Korea and the United States signed a 1994 agreement in which Pyongyang pledged to freeze and eventually dismantle its nuclear weapons program in exchange for international aid to build two power-producing nuclear reactors.
But the White House has said North Korea's neighbors -- with a greater stake in the negotiations -- also must sign a new agreement.
"It's a regional issue," McCellan said, not an issue between North Korea and the United States.
South Korean Foreign Minister Ban Ki-moon is in Washington for consultations with U.S. officials, including a Friday meeting with Vice President Dick Cheney.
The foreign minister -- whose visit was scheduled before North Korea's declaration -- has additional meetings next week with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and national security adviser Stephen Hadley.
A senior U.S. official said China continues to receive consultations, too. The White House views Beijing as a key partner in negotiation efforts because China previously has helped get North Korea back to the bargaining table.
In an interview Friday, Han Sung Ryol, North Korea's envoy to the United Nations, told a South Korean newspaper that Pyongyang will consider multilateral negotiations only after bilateral talks with the United States.
"We will return to the six-nation talks when we see a reason to do so and the conditions are ripe," Han told Seoul's Hankyoreh newspaper.
Han was the first North Korean official to speak to outside news media since Pyongyang's Foreign Ministry declared Thursday that the country has nuclear weapons as a deterrent against a U.S. invasion and does not intend to rejoin six-nation disarmament talks any time soon.
International leaders quickly condemned the announcement and urged Pyongyang to return to multilateral negotiations.
In the six-party talks since 2003, the United States, the two Koreas, China, Japan and Russia have held three rounds of talks aimed at persuading North Korea to abandon its nuclear weapons development in return for economic and diplomatic rewards. But no significant progress was reported in those talks, which China hosted.
