  • KCNA refutes IAEA general director's remarks KCNA 28 Jan 2003 -- Baradei, general director of the International Atomic Energy Agency, is imprudently behaving as if he is playing a certain "role" in the solution to the nuclear issue of the DPRK. During his recent visits to the United States, Japan, Russia and other countries he said "the use of force in the solution to the Korean issue should be the last resort" and "any challenge to the nuclear non-proliferation system would cause serious consequences to the whole world" in a bid to internationalize the issue.
  • KCNA calls for proper understanding of origin of nuclear issue KCNA 28 Jan 2003 -- The United Nations and some countries are trying to mediate the settlement of the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula through the dispatch of a special envoy and delegations to the DPRK.

  • Japan's imprudent intervention rebuffed KCNA 28 Jan 2003 -- The nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula is one which should be settled between the DPRK and the United States in view of its origin and circumstances of its outbreak and its nature and the present situation. There is no reason and justification for a third party to meddle in it. Rodong Sinmun today says this, accusing the Japanese authorities of pulling up the DPRK over its just self-defensive measure.
