Jakarta/Seoul, Sep 30 (TIWN) North Korea's latest missile launches will not affect the U.S.' determination to seek diplomacy with the North for the denuclearisation of the Korean Peninsula, the US nuclear envoy for Pyongyang said on Wednesday.

While describing the missile launches as a "threat" and "a violation of multiple U.N. Security Council resolutions," under which the North is banned from testing or using nuclear and ballistic technologies, Kim said that does not "deter" the U.S. from continuing to pursue a "diplomatic path." 

"We're strongly committed to finding a diplomatic path to complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula," he said at the event with foreign journalists.

"That has not changed at all. These missile activities do not change our determination."  "We're waiting to hear back from Pyongyang. We have proposed dialogues on a wide range of topics ... we hope to hear back soon," Kim added.
