North Korea, South Korea flagsNorth Korea accused South Korean President Park Geun-Hye of "moral vulgarity" Wednesday after she suggested she was ready to hold a summit with its leader Kim Jong-Un at any time.

The North's Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea accused Park of talking about a summit with Kim while making provocative remarks against Pyongyang.

"Park's remark about 'summit talks' does not deserve even a passing note and is just a last resort to tide over the political crisis inside and outside," the state body said in a statement.

Park said she was willing to hold a summit with Kim at any time if it were necessary to improve cross-border relations and promote peace on the Korean peninsula.

The North's committee denounced Park's remark as "ridiculous sophism that will work on nobody".

"Her coarse outpourings against the North while saying she is set to have a 'summit' at any time prove that she has no stand to have 'summit talks' and show her moral vulgarity and impertinence bereft of common sense," it said.

"(North Korea) will never pardon those who dare insult and make a fool of the dignity of its supreme leadership under the signboard of 'summit talks'," it said.

The committee urged Park to halt "provocative words and acts", and to have "good manners" if she sincerely hopes to meet with Kim.
