Letter addressed to U.S. Congress

KCNA

Release Date: 7/26/2003

Pyongyang, July 25 (KCNA) -- A letter to U.S. Congress was adopted at the International Conference for Peace on the Korean Peninsula today. The letter expressed the expectation that the U.S. congress would turn its ears to the voice of the international community and show discretion to press the Bush administration to make a bold turn in its policy as soon as possible for a peaceful solution to the Korean issue. We demand the governments of the two countries seek a reasonable way of relieving each other's fear through dialogues and negotiations, the letter said, and continued:

If the United States continues to spearhead military threat and blackmail to Korea and isolate it internationally, it will inevitably worsen the situation and bring uncontrollable consequences.

The U.S. Congress is well advised to take a serious note of the fact that the anti-U.S. sentiment of the DPRK army and people has swelled near to burst owing to the persistent political and military threat and economic sanctions imposed by the United States for more than half a century.

While staying in Korea, we have witnessed with our own eyes the Korean people who are firmly determined to build up their own strong deterrent force and fight at the cost of their lives to safeguard their sovereignty and system in face of the U.S. policy to stifle the DPRK.

We are convinced that the DPRK-U.S. military confrontation would be the fiercest ever in the U.S. war history, ensuing unimaginably catastrophic consequences.

We recognize that the U.S. congress should make a reasonable judgement of the reality and exercise its full influence to check the bellicose attempt of the Bush administration to isolate the DPRK internationally and make a preemptive nuclear strike at it, and urge the Bush administration to make a positive response to peaceful negotiations with the DPRK.

If you turn your back to the inclination of the Bush administration to recourse to force based on unilateral and arbitrary way of thinking, the united states will not be able to avoid the world protest, denunciation and isolation.
