North Korean officials denied that the country is preparing to test-launch a missile, a news report said Saturday, citing a South Korean official.
Visiting officials from the North told a South Korean lawmaker that concerns over Pyongyang's possible missile test are "unfounded," Japan's Kyodo News agency reported from Seoul.
The report came as the United States and Japan jointly urged North Korea to suspend preparations for a test-launch of a long-range missile.
Speculation has been mounting that the North could abandon its self-imposed moratorium on long-range missile tests by launching a Taepodong-2, believed able to reach the United States with a light payload.
