Philippine President on Negotiated Settlement of Nuclear Issue

KCNA

    Pyongyang, January 31 (KCNA) -- The Philippine government and people maintain the stand that the nuclear issue between the DPRK and the U.S. should be settled through dialogue and negotiations, not through economic blockade against the DPRK, said Philippine President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo on Jan. 26 when she received credentials from new DPRK Ambassador e.p. to Philippines O Song Chol. She said that it is the consistent stand of the Philippine government to further develop the friendly and cooperative relations between the two countries in political, economic and trade and other fields.
    Korea should be reunified independently and peacefully in the spirit of the June 15 North-South Joint Declaration, she noted.
    She hoped that the Korean people would achieve greater success in their endeavors to build a great prosperous powerful socialist nation and reunify the country under the unique Songun revolutionary leadership of Kim Jong Il.
