KCNA on U.S. Talk about "Peaceful Solution to Nuclear Issue"

KCNA

    Pyongyang, October 17 (KCNA) -- The United States is talking a lot about a "peaceful solution" to the nuclear issue between the DPRK and the U.S. Officials of the Bush administration are busy publicizing a "peaceful solution to the nuclear issue," asserting that the U.S. is ready to positively push forward a proposal for a peaceful settlement of the nuclear issue whenever an opportunity presents itself.
    This is, however, nothing but a trick to deceive the public.
    While paying lip-service to a "peaceful solution to the nuclear issue," the U.S. is seeking, in actuality, to bring the DPRK to its knees by pressurizing it to "scrap its nuclear program first."
    This was proved by its attitude taken at the six-way talks held in Beijing and in the subsequent period.
    The DPRK took a flexible, fair and aboveboard measure at the talks, taking into consideration the urgent need to solve the nuclear issue between the DPRK and the U.S., the nature of the present situation and intentions of the countries concerned in particular.
    But the U.S. neither expressed its will to make a switchover in its hostile policy toward the DPRK nor confirmed its stand to co-exist with the DPRK peacefully, rendering the talks fruitless.
    Since the talks the U.S. blockade and pressure upon the DPRK have been escalated. It tightened the international siege to the DPRK and staged a sea inspection exercise and intensified the espionage against it by mobilizing new type unmanned reconnaissance plane "Shadow 200".
    The U.S. talk about such "peaceful solution" can not but be a mockery of the international community.
    The nuclear issue on the Korean peninsula is a product of the U.S. hostile policy against the DPRK and the U.S. nuclear threat to it. The key to settling the issue lies in whether the U.S. makes a bold decision to make a switchover in its policy toward the DPRK or not.
    The nuclear issue on the Korean peninsula can never find a solution unless the U.S. makes a bold switchover in its policy towards the DPRK.
    The U.S. clamor for a "peaceful solution" without dropping its hostile policy toward the DPRK is nothing but a deceptive trick to detain its dialogue partner in the conference hall and gain time in a bid to meet its needs and stifle Pyongyang in the end.
    The DPRK has neither interest nor expectation for any talks where the U.S. remains dead-set against making a switchover in its hostile policy toward the DPRK and the conclusion of a non-aggression treaty with it.
    The U.S. should stop paying lip-service to a "peaceful settlement" and clarify its will to make a switchover in its hostile policy toward the DPRK without delay.
