President Salva Kiir's spokesman Ateny Wek Ateny told Xinhua inJuba that Kiir has already conveyed his congratulatory message toKenyatta and looks forward to strengthening already existingbilateral relations with the region's economic powerhouse.

"Kenya is a strategic neighbor to South Sudan and therefore itselection is strategic. We congratulate whoever has won and thisshould not be taken as political," Ateny disclosed.

Meanwhile, Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Mawien Makollauded Kenya as partner in the regional group IntergovernmentalAuthority on Development (IGAD) that helped broker the shaky 2015peace agreement to end more than four years of fighting.

"Kenya is a strong partner in the IGAD and East AfricanCommunity (EAC). Our relationship will stay the same and we willstill pursue our relation like we used to," he said.

Russia is ready to act as a mediator between North Korea and the US if both parties are willing for it to play such a role, the Kremlin said on Tuesday.

Moscow has long called for the two sides to hold negotiations aimed at reducing tensions over the nuclear and missile program North Korea is pursuing in defiance of years of UN Security Council resolutions.

"Russia's readiness to clear the way for de-escalation is obvious," Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said in a phone call with reporters.

Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov called on Monday for Washington and Pyongyang to start negotiations, saying Russia was ready to facilitate such talks.

Though US diplomats have said they are pursuing a diplomatic solution, President Donald Trump has said Pyongyang must commit to giving up its nuclear weapons before any talks can begin.

The UN Security Council unanimously voted to impose new sanctions on North Korea on Friday in response to its recent intercontinental ballistic missile test, a move North Korea called an act of war, tantamount to a complete economic blockade.

South Korea predicted on Tuesday that North Korea would look to open negotiations with the US next year in an optimistic outlook for 2018, even as Seoul set up a specialized military team to confront nuclear threats from the North.

"North Korea will seek negotiation with the US, while continuing to pursue its effort to be recognized as a de facto nuclear-possessing country," South Korea's Unification Ministry said in a report, without offering any reasons for its conclusion.

The Ministry of Defence said it would assign four units to operate under a new official overseeing North Korea policy, aimed to "deter and respond to North Korea's nuclear and missile threat."

Tensions have risen over North Korea's nuclear and missile programs.

In its 2018 forecast, South Korea's Unification Ministry said it believed the North would eventually find ways to blunt the effects of the sanctions.

"Countermeasures will be orchestrated to deal with the effects, including cuts in trade volume and foreign currency inflow, lack of supplies, and reduced production in each part of the economy," the report said.

The latest round of sanctions was prompted by the November 29 test of what North Korea said was an intercontinental ballistic missile that put the US mainland within range of its nuclear weapons.
