U.S. Wrong Approach to Nuclear Issue Refuted

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, July 27 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the U.S. State Department recently said the Korean peninsula should be denuclearized in a complete, verifiable and irreversible way and this is the only way possible, while repeating the claim that the DPRK must scrap its nuclear program first. Commenting on this, Rodong Sinmun Tuesday says:
    It is preposterous for the U.S. to hold that the only way of the settlement to the nuclear issue lies in CVID and Pyongyang's scrapping the nuclear program first, which it evaded mentioning at the third round of the six-party talks. It is a robber-like demand to urge the DPRK to lay down arms first when a fragile truce is barely maintained between the DPRK and the U.S. on the Korean peninsula.
    What is more shameless is the demand of the U.S. that the DPRK stop and renounce its nuclear activities for peaceful purpose, too. This is a wrong assertion destitute of legal ground.
    The commentary goes on:
    There is no change in the principled stand of the DPRK that the proposal for a simultaneous package solution and "reward for freeze," its first-phase measure, indicates the only way of building confidence between the DPRK and the U.S. Its validity and reasonableness were attested when the related parties expressed their willingness to take part in reward for freeze, supporting and sympathizing with the DPRK's proposal.
    The U.S. would be well advised to drop its foolish scheme to attain its sinister aim and show sincere stance and approach.
