The United States continues to support providing COVID-19 vaccines to North Korea despite the country's recent missile provocations, a senior U.S. diplomat said Wednesday.
Mark Lambert, deputy assistant secretary of state for Japan and South Korea, also reiterated that the U.S. remains open to dialogue with the North to discuss any issue.
"The U.S. position remains unchanged even in light of these most recent escalatory actions. We continue to support humanitarian assistance and the provision of COVID-19 related assistance," he said in a virtual press briefing, organized by the Washington Foreign Press Center.
"We have always viewed humanitarian assistance as a separate issue from making progress and achieving complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula," he added.

His remarks come after North Korea launched three ballistic missiles, including an apparent intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), early Wednesday (KST), marking its 17th show of such force this year.
Lambert noted the North has now fired 23 ballistic missiles since the start of the year, "all of which violated multiple U.N. Security Council resolutions, and demonstrate that the DPRK continues to advance the capabilities of its unlawful WMD and ballistic missile programs."
DPRK stands for the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the North's official name.
The U.S. diplomat reaffirmed the U.S.' commitment to engage with Pyongyang in dialogue.
"The United States remains open to dialogue with DPRK on any issue and without preconditions. We urge the DPRK to work with the international community to facilitate the rapid vaccination of its population," said Lambert.
Pyongyang has avoided denuclearization talks with the U.S. since late 2019.
Officials in Seoul and Washington have noted the North may be preparing to conduct a nuclear weapon test in the near future.
Lambert argued U.S. alliances with South Korea and Japan, as well as their trilateral cooperation, will only be strengthened by North Korea's provocations, saying, "We will not be deterred from cooperating together, to keep our three countries and our interests secure." (Yonhap)
