U.S. Urged to Take Trustworthy Practical Action
Korean Central News Agency of DPRK
Pyongyang, May 10 (KCNA) -- It is necessary for the United States to take a trustworthy practical action for the success of a meeting of the working group of the six-party talks expected to be held sooner or later, says Rodong Sinmun today in a signed commentary.
It goes on:
There is no change in the basic stand of the DPRK to seek a negotiated peaceful settlement of the issue. Proceeding from this stand, the DPRK has kept exercising patience and flexibility and participated in the process of the six-way talks in a positive manner.
The Korean people hate such a tragic fate as the Iraqis' and will never allow anyone to impose it upon them.
The nuclear deterrent force of the DPRK does not aim at anyone who does not pose any threat toward it. The nuclear deterrent is a means for legitimate self-defence and a firm guarantee for beating back the U.S. preemptive nuclear attack on the DPRK and reliably defending its sovereignty, socialism, peace and security. If the U.S. takes a practical measure to abandon its hostile policy toward the DPRK from a realistic stand and on the basis of cool-headed judgment, the latter will undoubtedly take a corresponding innovative and trustworthy step.
Success of the six-party talks and progress in the settlement of the nuclear issue will entirely depend on the U.S. attitude.
If the U.S. truly stands for a negotiated and diplomatic solution to the issue, it should boldly make a switchover in its stance and take a trustworthy practical action. This is the only shortcut to the settlement of the nuclear issue.
Nobody can predict what will happen in the future unless the U.S. changes its present stand and attitude. The U.S. had better bear this in mind and stop wasting time.
