Spokesman for DPRK FM Ministry on Third Round of Six-Party Talks

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, June 15 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea Tuesday gave the following answer to a question put by KCNA as regards the opening of the third round of the six-party talks: The third round of the six-party talks for the settlement of the nuclear issue between the DPRK and the United States will open in Beijing on June 23.
    Prior to it, a meeting of the working group of the six-party talks will be held on June 21 and 22.
    As we have declared on several occasions, it is important for the U.S. to abandon its policy for isolating and stifling the DPRK and take a bold political decision to co-exist with the latter if the six-party talks are to yield practical results and open a landmark phase for the settlement of the nuclear issue between them.
    The U.S. attitude toward the DPRK-proposed "reward for freeze" will become a touchstone discerning the U.S. real intention for the settlement of the nuclear issue.
    The prospect of the settlement of the issue entirely depends on the U.S.
    Nothing will be expected from the forthcoming talks if the U.S. persistently insists that the DPRK accept CVID, a demand which can be forced on a defeated country only.
    Internal work needed for us will go on well though the talks may prove unsuccessful due to the U.S.
