The Bush administration on Wednesday welcomed a proposal to resume peace talks with the United States by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) and said it is ready for dialogue with DPRK "anytime, anywhere."

"Our position has always been and will continue to be that we welcome dialogue with North Korea anytime, anywhere," White House spokesman Ari Fleischer told reporters.

But the spokesman rejected the condition that DPRK set for the peace talks: the United States should cease its "groundless slanders" against DPRK.

In his State of Union Address on January 29, U.S. President George W. Bush described Iraq, Iran and DPRK as an "axis of evil, " the term has been widely criticized across the world.
