U.S. Urged Not to Dream of Freeze without Reward

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, August 10 (KCNA) -- Whether the United States is ready to accept the DPRK's fair and aboveboard proposal for "reward for freeze" or not is the touchstone showing whether it truly has the intention to solve the nuclear issue on the Korean peninsula or not, says Minju Joson in a commentary Tuesday. Noting that the U.S. has misled public opinion to create the impression that the "landmark proposal" it laid before the 3rd round of six-party talks indicates a proper way of solving the nuclear issue, the news analyst goes on:
    After putting forward the beguiling "landmark proposal" carrying its unilateral demands without heed to the objective reality, the U.S. is pressurizing the DPRK to unconditionally implement it, mocking at the international community. In this regard the DPRK can not but anatomically delve into the unjustness of the U.S. proposal once again.
    Now the U.S. is talking about the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula.
    The DPRK, of course, has no objection to it. The point is the way of reaching the goal of denuclearization.
    The key to the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula is for the U.S. to abandon its hostile policy towards the DPRK and take goodwill measures to convince the DPRK of this. For this, the U.S. should commit itself to the renunciation of its hostile policy towards the DPRK and, as its first-stage step toward compensation commensurate with it, lift the economic sanctions and blockade against the DPRK, remove it from the list of "sponsors of terrorism" and directly join in energy compensation scaled at 2 million kw in reward for the announcement of the denuclearization target by the DPRK.
    The U.S. is trying to put a sort of psychological pressure on the DPRK, mumbling that "there will be no reward for wrong doings", but this is a foolish dream. If the U.S. is not interested in the proposal for "reward for freeze," the two sides may go their own ways. The U.S. should not dream of freeze without reward. The ball is in the court of the U.S.
