U.S. hostile policy towards DPRK under fire

    Pyongyang, October 15 (KCNA) -- James Kelly, U.S. assistant secretary of state for East Asian and Pacific Affairs, behaved as if he were an "inspector" during his visit to Pyongyang. Terming his demeanor extremely high-handed and arrogant, papers here today in signed commentaries declare that if the United States wants improved DPRK-U.S. relations it should drop its wrong tactics to put pressure upon the DPRK and arrogant attitude toward it.
    They dismiss as nonsensical stories about some sort of "progress" made in improving the DPRK-U.S. relations through the visit of the special envoy of Bush floated in the United States.
    Rodong Sinmun says:
    The special envoy's visit to Pyongyang confirmed the fact that the U.S. administration keeps pursuing a hardline and hostile policy aimed to bring the DPRK to its knees by force and high-handed practice instead of working for the DPRK-U.S. dialogue.
    It is the consistent stand of the DPRK to solve issues through dialogues and negotiations.
    But the DPRK has no idea of having dialogue with those who are keen to disarm it and destroy the Korean-style socialist system centered on the popular masses. The United States seems to gain something through gun-boat diplomacy even in the present times as it did in the last century.
    But it should know that this anachronistic viewpoint and method can never work on the DPRK.
    The United States is making strategic and historic mistakes with a wrong conception of its rival.
    If the U.S. foreign policy makers persistently pursue the hardline and hostile policy towards the DPRK, swayed by their hard-headed way of thinking and stand toward it, the DPRK-U.S. relations will never improve.
    The prospect of solving the issue of the DPRK-U.S. relations depends on the attitude of the United States.
    Minju Joson says that the DPRK will take all possible steps to cope with the U.S. invariable hardline and hostile policy towards it under the uplifted banner of army-based policy as required by the present situation.
