North Korea has remained unresponsive to South Korea's proposal for working-level consultations on helping the neighboring country in its fight against a COVID-19 outbreak for the third straight day, a ministry official here said Wednesday.

The Ministry of Unification had sought to deliver a message to Pyongyang, Monday, through its liaison office calling for the talks and offering assistance with medical supplies for the North, known for its dilapidated medical system.

The two Koreas held a routine phone call at 9 a.m. Wednesday, but the North did not say whether it would accept the message, according to the official who spoke on condition of anonymity.
