U.S. urged to drop its unilateralism

KNCA

Release Date: 11/05/2002

Pyongyang, November 5 (KCNA) -- The DPRK will never yield to the U.S. unilateral and brigandish demand and high-handed offensive against it. Minju Joson, an organ of the Presidium of the Supreme People's Assembly and the Cabinet, today says this in a signed commentary urging the U.S. to sincerely approach the DPRK's proposal for concluding a non-aggression treaty. The commentary accuses the U.S. of persistently demanding the DPRK disarm itself first, while refusing to discard its unilateral and arrogant stand on the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula.

It goes on:

U.S. Secretary of State Powell recently called on Pyongyang to dismantle its nuclear and missile programs and reduce its conventional weapons and a spokesman for the National Security Council of the U.S. administration turned down the proposals of the DPRK to hold negotiations for the peaceful settlement of the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula.

This only laid bare the true aim sought by the U.S. in its catcall over the nuclear issue of the DPRK.

The U.S. assertion for the DPRK's disarming is unrealistic as it utterly disregarded the present DPRK-U.S. relations.

It is brigandish for the U.S. to demand Pyongyang drop its weapons.

This is little short of forcing the DPRK to put down its arms first and submit to the U.S. surrender to the U.S. means death.

The U.S. military moves to stifle the DPRK only compel the latter to make all military preparations to cope with them with a high degree of vigilance against them.

The U.S. demand will only further aggravate the situation on the Korean Peninsula as it is a product of its vicious hostile policy toward the DPRK. The U.S. will be held wholly responsible for a new clash to be sparked by its unilateral and arrogant attitude.

If the U.S. truly wishes to see the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula peacefully settled, it should drop its unacceptable demand and opt for concluding a non-aggression treaty with the DPRK.
