Treacherous remarks of S. Korean Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade

KCNA

    Pyongyang, June 7 (KCNA) -- Yun Yong Gwan, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade of South Korea, came under fire by papers here Saturday for making remarks seriously despising the north and rattling its nerves at a "social gathering" on June 4. Referring to the "nuclear issue," he said that what the north wants is "normalized relations" with the U.S. saying he was setting out a "way of settlement" calling for exchanging "dismantlement of nuclear weapons program" for "economic benefit" through negotiations, he asserted that the north should "scrap its nuclear program" first as "direct negotiations between North Korea and the U.S." are impossible at present.
    Papers dismiss these remarks as ridiculous ones intended to "admonish" the north.
    Rodong Sinmun in a signed commentary says:
    It is a publicly recognized stark fact that it is not the U.S. but the DPRK that is exposed to the nuclear threat. Yet Yun sided with the U.S. falsifying this hard fact. This proves that he is steeped in flunkeyism and treachery to the marrow of his bone.
    Whoever has the blood of the Korean nation running in his vessel should think and act for the sake of the dignity and interests of the nation and speak for the nation.
    Yun's recent tongue-wagging clearly indicates that he is playing the role of a "shock brigade" and a trumpeter in service for outsiders keen on stifling the fellow countrymen.
    He is well advised to wag his tongue properly, clearly mindful that he will be punished by the nation and history as a traitor if he keeps talking nonsense.
    Minju Joson urges Yun to apologize for his words and step down before it is too late if he does not want to be sternly punished by the nation.
