U.S. urged to respond to direct talks with DPRK
KCNA
Pyongyang, March 17 (KCNA) -- If the U.S. continues pressurizing the DPRK over its "nuclear issue", it may create an explosive situation between the DPRK and the U.S. which are technically at war.
If the U.S. mounts a preemptive attack on the DPRK, the army and people of the DPRK will wipe out the aggressors to the last man.
Rodong Sinmun yesterday said this in a signed article.
It went on:
The nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula is an issue that can not be settled by any pressure or blackmail. Such methods will only make the situation more complicated.
The U.S. loudmouthed "development of nuclear weapons" by the DPRK is nothing but a subterfuge to internationalize its moves to pressure and isolate the DPRK and ignite a new war of aggression against it. It is quite senseless and unreasonable for the U.S. to insist that the DPRK poses a "nuclear threat" to the U.S.
For the DPRK to yield to the demand of the U.S. and opt to compromise with it is little short of giving in to the enemies after becoming a "real criminal" itself.
The nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula is a very crucial problem related to who beats whom.
It will decide whether the DPRK's sovereignty will be trampled down by the U.S. or protected. It is quite obvious that such issue can not be settled by someone's unilateral pressure or demand.
It is not the stand of settling the nuclear issue for the U.S. to insist on multilateral talks instead of responding to the direct talks with the DPRK.
The U.S. call for multilateral talks is aimed to internationalize the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula to evade its responsibility. This is, in fact, little short of refusing to solve the nuclear issue.
It is not multilateral talks but direct talks between the DPRK and the U.S. that serve as a key to settling the nuclear issue.
The U.S. will not lose its face while responding to the direct talks with the DPRK. on the contrary it will be welcomed by the world.
The U.S. is well advised to give up its stand to stifle the DPRK and properly approach dialogue and thus fulfil its responsibility as the direct party concerned with the settlement of the nuclear issue on the peninsula.
