North Korea's ambassador to Britain said Tuesday that his country has no interest in presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's offer to open nuclear talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

Hillary Clinton pronounced it 'a blessing' just hours later.

Ambassador Hyon Hak Bong said that Pyongyang views Trump's offer as an electoral ploy that isn't serious.

Hyon said that 'we see it as the dramatics of a popular actor,' adding that U.S. presidential candidates say a lot of things during a campaign but once they assume power they always adopt a hostile stance toward North Korea.

Hyon called Trump's campaign-year trial balloon 'the dramatics of a popular actor' and said there's nothing for the U.S. and North Korea to discuss

The timing is not right for talks, he said.

'North Korea has no package ready – the United States also has no package ready – to advance relations between the two countries,' he said.

'No progress can be made. That is why we say we have no interest whatever in remarks made by him.'

Trump said last week that he is open to meeting with Kim Jong Un, which would represent a sharp alteration in U.S. policy.

Hillary Clinton, his likely opponent in the November general election, said during a campaign speech that she was struck by the North Koreans' lack of 'interest.'

'That is a blessing, I guess, right?' she asked.

The Obama administration says it is willing to resume talks with North Korea, but only if Pyongyang commits itself to the goal of abandoning its nuclear weapons program.

Hyon said North Korea needs its nuclear weapons for self-defense and to protect its sovereignty.

He said the 'six-party talks' aimed at ending his country's nuclear weapons program through negotiations are 'dead.'
