Republican Presidential frontrunner Donald Trump has revealed that he would like to engage with North Korea if he is triumphant in the polls. However, this idea is not being welcomed by Pyongyang.

The North Korean Ambassador to the United States So Se-pyong said in a statement while in Geneva that he believes Trump's offer is a just a form of "political posturing." So added that it is up to the decision of the North Korean leader whether or not he will accept Trump's initiative but he believes that the idea is "nonsense."

So claimed that Trump's statement is meant to attract him supporters ahead of the upcoming presidential election noting that it is a kind of "propaganda or advertisement." "This is useless, just a gesture for the presidential election," So said.

So's comment comes days after Trump said he is open to having dialogue with Kim about North Korea's nuclear activities. The country has been sanctioned by the United Nations again recently due to Pyongyang's ballistic missile tests and human rights violations.

North Korea organized a nuclear test in January about 100 kilometers from the China-North Korea border. This caused an earthquake in the Chinese city of Yanji. The following month, North Korea fired a long-range rocket allegedly to place a satellite into space. Experts, however, argued that such technology is used to deploy ballistic missiles.

After another set of sanctions were imposed on Pyongyang by the United Nations in March. In response, North Korea defiantly launched another missile that traveled 800 kilometers east and landed in the sea near Japan.

The United Nations and North Korea have not held a dialogue since 2012. The U.S. wanted to have private talks with North Korea but due to its recent tests and actions, the talks have been put on hold.

Meanwhile, Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton claims that Trump praised Kim in a January rally in Iowa. Trump said that Kim deserved credit for how he took over the country at a young age after his father's death. However, it has been found out in the same speech that Trump called Kim a 'maniac' and a 'madman' for using nuclear weapons.

Trump is yet to comment on the statements of So regarding his offer.
