U.S. urged to make switchover in its DPRK policy
KCNA
Pyongyang, May 5 (KCNA) -- The DPRK will follow the U.S. attitude, Rodong Sinmun today says in a signed commentary urging the United States to make a bold switchover in its policy toward the DPRK.
It goes on:
No sooner had the DPRK-U.S. talks come to an end in Beijing than the U.S. ruling quarters vociferated about "cooperation" with Japan and South Korea. They went to the lengths of asserting that the matter of bringing the "nuclear issue" of North Korea up for discussion at the un security council again to make it adopt a statement critical of the DPRK is on an anvil.
These facts go to prove that the U.S. hostile policy toward the DPRK and its sinister intention to isolate and stifle the DPRK remain unchanged even after the DPRK-U.S. talks.
At the talks arranged with much effort the DPRK set forth a new bold proposal to clear up the bilateral concerns of the DPRK and the U.S., the parties concerned with the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula, prompted by the desire to prevent a war on the Korean Peninsula and achieve durable peace and security.
The U.S., however, repeated its old assertion that the DPRK should "scrap its nuclear program before dialogue" without advancing any new proposal at the talks.
The DPRK will mobilize all its potentials to bolster the war deterrent force in every way as long as the U.S. keeps pursuing its hostile policy toward the DPRK. If the U.S. does not positively respond to the DPRK's bold proposal, it will be held accountable for scuttling all efforts for dialogue and seriously straining the situation.
