South Korea calls on North Korea to stop Nukes in response to dialogue offer

South Korea's defense ministry said Monday it has responded to North Korea's latest offer for military talks by saying that the North's denuclearization steps should be a top priority. 
The government said it sent its reply to Pyongyang earlier in the day as North Korea on Saturday proposed holding a working-level meeting with South Korea in late May or early June in preparation for military talks, according to (Yonhap) news agency. 
Seoul has rejected it as a proposal without sincerity. 
"We expressed regret that North Korea had proposed to hold military talks without any mentions over its nuclear problem," Moon Sang-gyun, ministry spokesman, told a regular press briefing. "We will firmly keep the stance that the North's denuclearization step should be a top priority when it comes to dialogue with Pyongyang".
