In a rare televised appearance, North Korean supreme leader Kim Jong-Un said he was willing to resume talks between his country and South Korea.

The message was broadcast on New Year’s Day by the North’s State-run Korean Central Television as well as stations in South Korea. Kim stated that if the South Koreans will meet their conditions, the North would be willing to hold a summit with South Korean President Park Geun-Hye.

“Depending on the mood and circumstances, there is no reason not to hold a high-level summit,” said Jong-Un, according to BBC. “We will make every effort to advanced dialouge and cooperation.”

South Korean officials described the address as “meaningful.”

“Our government hopes for dialogue between the South and North Korean authorities in the near future without limits on format,” said South Korean Unification Minister Ryoo Kihl-jae, according to the Yonhap news agency.

Ryoo Kihl-jae called for a dialogue between the two countries on Dec. 29 to continue discussions on issues including the reunion of families separated by the Korean War. He offered to meet in Seoul, Pyongyang, or any other city in North or South Korea agreed upon by North Korean officials.

The address was not entirely positive however, with Kim Jong-Un criticizing the South’s recent joint-military drills with its ally the U.S.

“In a tense mood of such war-preparatory exercises, trust-based dialogue can’t be possible and North-South relations can’t move forward.”

Formal, high-level talks have not taken place between the two countries since February of 2014. These talks were the product of Kim Jong-Un expressing the desire to work towards reunification in his 2014 New Year’s Day address.

These talks led to rare reunions between families separated for 60 years due to the Korean War. The two countries have technically been at war since the armistice ended the war in 1953.
