North Korea's state media says leader Kim Jong Un is open to a third summit with US President Donald Trump, as long as Washington offers mutually acceptable terms for an agreement.
On Saturday, Korean Central News Agency reported on a speech given by Kim to a session of the Supreme People's Assembly the day before.
Kim referred to the second US-North Korea summit that took place in Hanoi, Vietnam, in February. The meeting ended without an agreement.
The news agency quoted Kim as saying North Korea would prefer to resolve problems through dialogue and negotiations, but if the US pushes its demands unilaterally, he will not be interested.
Kim criticized Washington's refusal to lift sanctions until the North abandons its nuclear and missile programs.
He also affirmed that his personal relationship with Trump remains good. He said he will "wait with patience until the end of the year for the US to come up with a courageous decision."

A US research group says North Korea is likely to continue building a new type of submarine capable of launching ballistic missiles.
The group, 38 North, released new analysis of satellite images of a naval shipyard in Sinpo, eastern North Korea, on Friday.
It says workers may have been building a ballistic missile submarine at the shipyard for the past three years.
The US group says a structure thought to be the hull of a submarine was observed in satellite imagery from March 23, but that it was no longer visible in satellite photos on April 5.
After the second US-North Korean summit ended without agreement in February, the group says the North returned a rocket launch facility to operational status.
Key words : Trump 5G
https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20190413_14/
US President Donald Trump says his administration will work with the private sector to become the world leader in high-speed 5G mobile networks.
International competition in the sector has become increasingly fierce, with the first 5G services launching this month in the United States and South Korea.
Trump said at the White House on Friday that the US cannot afford to let other countries get the edge in the next-generation industry.
He said 5G network roll-outs will create 3 million jobs and deliver a 500-billion-dollar boost to the economy.
The US has banned Chinese telecom equipment maker Huawei from most domestic networks due to concerns about spying by Beijing.
Some US lawmakers believe the government should sponsor the development of 5G telecommunications.
But on Friday, Trump said the US will take a "private-sector driven and private-sector led" approach.

Finance ministers and central bank governors from the Group of 20 nations ended two days of talks in Washington on Friday.
The meeting was the first ministerial level talks before the G20 summit in Osaka in June.
On the second day Japan, as chair of the meeting, raised the issue of global current account imbalances that are behind trade friction.
Japan called on other countries to cooperate and implement structural reform to correct the imbalances.
A current account is a country's overall balance of trade, services and investment with the rest of the world.
Japanese Finance Minister Taro Aso, who co-chaired the meeting, told reporters that there are downside risks for the world economy, but that the participants agreed that it will pick up moderately through the second half of this year.
He said Japan had presented its proposal on current account imbalances at the meeting. He expressed his desire for further discussions.
The participants also confirmed that they will come up with ways to tax global IT giants by 2020.
The G20 finance chiefs will gather in June in the southwestern Japanese city of Fukuoka to discuss other issues prior to their summit.

The top executives from Nissan Motor, Mitsubishi Motors and Renault have convened for the first meeting of the auto alliance's new oversight body.
It was held on Friday at Renault's headquarters outside Paris. Nissan President and CEO Hiroto Saikawa, Mitsubishi CEO Osamu Masuko, Renault Chairman Jean-Dominique Senard, and Renault CEO Thierry Bollore were in attendance.
Renault released a photo of the executives. The caption says, "The potential of the Alliance must now be valued properly, and that's in our hands. It's up to us to define our future."
The three auto firms decided last month to launch the four-member board to oversee the alliance's operations.
Previously, former Nissan chairman Carlos Ghosn headed the three firms.
The four executives face the challenge of spelling out concrete steps to enhance cooperation within the alliance.
Last month, the Financial Times reported that Renault intends to proceed with merger talks with Nissan.
Key words : fighter jet scramble

Japan's Defense Ministry says the number of times Air Self-Defense Force fighter jets were scrambled in fiscal 2018 was the second-highest on record.
The ministry says that in the year that ended in March ASDF jets were scrambled 999 times against unidentified aircraft approaching Japan's airspace. That's an increase of 11 percent from fiscal 2017.
638 scrambles, or 64 percent of the total, were against Chinese aircraft. The number against Russian aircraft was the second-highest at 343, or 34 percent of the total.
In April last year, an unmanned aircraft believed to be from China flew about 160 kilometers north of the Senkaku Islands in the East China Sea.
Japan controls the islands. The Japanese government maintains the islands are an inherent part of Japan's territory. China and Taiwan claim them.
The Defense Ministry says that because of increased activity by Chinese aircraft it will continue its patrols and monitoring efforts.

Key words : military council long time
https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20190413_09/
A Sudanese envoy has asked the United Nations for understanding over the country's military-led takeover, saying time is needed for a democratic transition.
The official told the UN Security Council on Friday the military council is doing all it can to protect people's lives and happiness, and responding to their wish for change.
He said any democratic process requires time and asked for the Security Council's support for a peaceful transition.
Sudan's military ousted the country's long time ruler, President Omar al-Bashir, on Thursday and announced it would rule for two years before holding an election.
But the move did not satisfy protestors who had been demanding Bashir's departure. The United States has called for an earlier transition of power.
Key words : from April brand new look
