Irresponsible remarks of S. Korean Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade accused
KCNA
Pyongyang, June 2 (KCNA) -- South Korean Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Yun Yong Gwan caviled at the proposal for settling "nuclear issue" put forward by the north at the Beijing talks in a recent exclusive interview with a foreign reporter before a trip of the South Korean chief executive to Japan, asserting that "it is unacceptable" and the U.S. may have the same stand as it desires an "early solution to the issue".
He went to the lengths of making the provocative remarks that "further steps" on which South Korea agreed with the united states and "hardline measure" taken by the U.S. and Japan over the "nuclear issue" would be a sort of "warning" to the north.
In this regard Rodong Sinmun today in a signed commentary says:
His remarks are a virulent mockery of and an unpardonable challenge to the north which has made every sincere effort for settling the "nuclear issue".
As already known, at the Beijing talks arranged with much effort the DPRK put forward a new and bold proposal calling for clearing up concerns of the DPRK and the U.S. responsible for solving the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula simultaneously.
Nevertheless, the United States insisted on its self-righteous and unilateral assertion that the DPRK should "drop its nuclear program before dialogue", thus making the settlement of the issue more complicated and its prospect gloomier.
This being a hard fact, Yun only spoke for the U.S. to please it, instead of viewing the issue from a right stand. This is creating complexities and difficulties in the way of settling the situation.
The north can not but feel disgusted at his mean demeanour.
A man in authority should be careful about his words and deeds.
