MOSCOW: Russia’s top negotiator on North Korea denied on Friday that Pyongyang had threatened to conduct a nuclear test during crisis talks on its standoff with Washington.

"The North Korean delegation did not make such a declaration at the Beijing talks," RIA Novosti quoted Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Losyukov as saying.

"US officials’ claims that North Korea made the threat do not correspond to reality", Losyukov was separately quoted as saying by Interfax.

Washington officials said a defiant North Korea threatened to formally declare itself a nuclear power and conduct a nuclear test in the near future.
