Spokesman for DPRK Foreign Ministry on Next Round of Six-way Talks

KCNA

    Pyongyang, November 16 (KCNA) -- We maintain the invariable stand to seek a negotiated peaceful solution to the nuclear issue between the DPRK and the U.S. after advancing a proposal for a package solution ultimately aimed to denuclearize the Korean peninsula. A spokesman for the DPRK Foreign Ministry said this on Nov. 16, answering the question raised by KCNA as regards the issue of opening the next round of the six-way talks. Only recently, we clarified the constructive stand that we are willing to take into consideration "written assurances of non-aggression" to which President Bush referred instead of the non-aggression treaty which the U.S. finds it hard to accept and we can modify even the phraseology of the principle of simultaneous actions, taking U.S. concerns into account..
    As the DPRK declared more than once, it is ready to abandon in practice its nuclear program which the U.S. is concerned about at the phase where its hostile policy is fundamentally dropped and its threat to us removed in practice.
    The prospect of solving the nuclear issue between the DPRK and U.S. will depend on whether the U.S. is ready to accept the proposal for a package solution based on the principle of simultaneous actions which commands the support and sympathy of all the participants of the talks.
