U.S. Advised to Face Up to Trend of Times

KCNA

Release Date: 10/06/2003

Pyongyang, October 5 (KCNA) -- Some days ago, the former U.S. ambassador to south Korea and the former assistant to the Korean Peninsula Energy Development Organization, strongly criticized the Bush administration's policy toward Korea, holding that the Bush administration's assertion can not get any understanding of the countries participating in the six-way talks as it is unacceptable in any case. Even Pritchard, who was in charge of negotiations with the DPRK in the administration, said that the Bush administration's policy toward the DPRK would get it nowhere.

In this regard Rodong Sinmun today says in a signed commentary: The reality shows that the international community is unanimous in demanding the U.S. give up its hostile policy toward the DPRK at an early date and take a positive stand for solving the nuclear issue between the DPRK and the U.S. The U.S. should face up to the trend of the times.

The U.S. is now styling itself a "superpower". But if it fails to face up to the trend of the times and goes against it, it will lose its position on the international arena and will be forsaken by history in the end.

The U.S. should give up its hostile policy toward the DPRK and conclude a non-aggression treaty with it. This is the only way to settle the nuclear issue between the DPRK and the U.S. Any other option but this does not bring any interest to the DPRK nor work on it. The DPRK does not require such option at all.

U.S. unilateralism and big stick policy are futile before the DPRK. The Bush administration should not defy the reality any longer if it has a shred of reason. It is beneficial for the U.S. itself
