KCNA urges U.S. to sincerely approach dialogue
Pyongyang, January 17 (KCNA) -- James Kelly at a press conference on Jan. 13 during his visit to South Korea as a special envoy of the U.S. President said that the U.S. is willing to consider energy aid for North Korea and have "multi-faceted dialogue" with it if it ends "nuclear weapons development".
In this regard, some of the international community describe his remarks as some sort of change made by the U.S. to peacefully settle the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula. This is, however, a wrong understanding of the U.S. black-hearted intention.
What Kelly said is, in essence, nothing different from the U.S. unilateral assertion that "North Korea should scrap its nuclear program before dialogue."
If the U.S. truly wants peace on the Korean Peninsula and the settlement of the nuclear issue, it should conclude a non-aggression treaty with the DPRK and formally declare the abandonment of its hostile policy toward the latter at the negotiating table.
Only when the U.S. does so, it is possible to clear the U.S. of its worries and ensure peace and stability in Northeast Asia because Washington is chiefly to blame for the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula.
The DPRK withdrew from the NPT and restarted its nuclear facilities entirely because of the U.S. gross violation of the NPT and the DPRK-U.S. Agreed Framework.
Moreover, Kelly is chiefly accountable for dreaming up the fiction of the DPRK's "development of nuclear weapons" in a premeditated manner.
When Kelly listened to the DPRK's serious warning during his visit to the DPRK as a special envoy of the U.S. President in early October last, he should have prudently approached it and admitted that the U.S. hostile policy toward the DPRK was anachronistic.
But Kelly played first fiddle to hatching a sinister plot to publicize the DPRK's warning as its "admission of nuclear weapons development".
He is now talking about "multi-faceted dialogue" and "energy aid," insisting on the absurd demand that the DPRK "scrap its nuclear program before dialogue." This is the height of folly.
If the Bush administration has nothing to regret over the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula before the international community, there is no reason for it to fail to come out to negotiations with the DPRK to settle bilateral pending issues.
The DPRK is fully ready for both dialogue and confrontation.
The U.S. should bear in mind that all the issues can be settled satisfactorily at the dialogue with the DPRK only when the former has a sincere attitude based on good faith.
