U.S. insistence on "five-party talks" rebuffed
KCNA
Pyongyang, May 31 (KCNA) -- The United States, not yet responsive to the DPRK's new and bold proposal for the settlement of the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula, is adamantly insisting on the format of talks rather than their content, clamoring for the "five-party talks."
This only reveals what the U.S. is really seeking as regards the nuclear issue on the peninsula. Minju Joson today in a signed commentary says, and goes on:
Holding fruitless talks would only mean wasting time and would be worse than having no negotiations.
The news analyst continues:
What is essential for settling the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula is not any format of talks but for the U.S. to have a will to settle the issue.
The issue was spawned owing to the nuclear threat and blackmail caused by the U.S. hostile policy toward the DPRK.
The key to resolving this issue can be found only when the U.S. has a true willingness to make a switchover in its DPRK policy. The issue will never be settled unless the U.S. makes a bold switchover in its DPRK policy. If the U.S. is ready to change this policy, such a thing as format of talks will not be a problem as far as the settlement of the nuclear issue is concerned.
We are not opposed to the talks for the settlement of the issue.
It is our consistent stand to peacefully settle the issue through dialogue. It is our stand that the DPRK-U.S. talks should be held to be followed by the U.S.-proposed multilateral talks.
Through the multilateral talks the U.S. seeks to obstruct the settlement of the issue overtly and covertly and shift the blame for it onto the DPRK in a bid to secure a leverage of international pressure on the DPRK and attain its sinister purpose.
The U.S., however, is seriously mistaken. The U.S. sinister attempt will never work on the DPRK.
