U.S. Accused of Souring Atmosphere of Dialogue

KCNA

    Pyongyang, August 14 (KCNA) -- The U.S. recent act of souring the atmosphere with the six-way talks at hand can not but compel the DPRK to doubt whether the U.S. is really set to have fruitful talks for the solution to the nuclear issue in a sound atmosphere or not, says Rodong Sinmun today in a signed commentary. Recalling that the U.S. is fanning a war fever against the DPRK behind the scene of dialogue, the commentary continues:
    These military moves are prompted by the U.S sinister intention to put military pressure upon the DPRK in a bid to steer the talks the way it premeditated and desired.
    It is indecorum bereft of common sense and international diplomatic practice for the U.S. to pressurize its dialogue partner with reckless military actions under the umbrella of dialogue in a bid to attain its sinister aim.
    It is quite natural that the DPRK would not feel pleased to sit for talks with the very one who puts military pressure upon it. The DPRK owes the U.S. nothing and it does not want to benefit from it.
    The U.S. should not seek a selfish aim to attain something by wielding a stick against its dialogue partner and partially handle the nuclear issue in its favour.
    The U.S. persistent moves would only chill the atmosphere of the talks and put them at a peril.
    It is the stand of the DPRK to participate in the talks with an easy mind, not being subject to any pressure including psychological one and discuss the issue in a sincere and candid atmosphere on the principle of impartiality and equality so as to make the talks fruitful and thus find a solution to the acute nuclear issue between the DPRK and the U.S. and achieve lasting peace and security on the Korean peninsula.
