U.S. Double Standards Assailed

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, September 20 (KCNA) -- A Rodong Sinmun analyst Monday hits at the jugglery employed by the United States to gloss over the cases of secret nuclear-related experiments in south Korea, which have given rise to international controversy. The news analyst says:
    The U.S. has lorded it over in south Korea militarily and politically for nearly 60 years and all steps of great magnitude there have been taken with the prior endorsement and permission of the U.S. It is like an ostrich with its head buried in the sand that the U.S. is wearing an air of innocence over the secret nuclear activities of south Korea.
    We make it plain that the nuclear activities of south Korea were an inevitable offspring of the U.S. policy of double standards.
    Failing to produce any scientific evidence, the U.S. is persistently trying to find fault with the DPRK over the fictitious "uranium enrichment", thus creating tension on the Korean peninsula.
    While trying to ban even the peaceful nuclear activities of the countries out of its favor even by cooking up groundless "information" for the mere reason that they are different from it in ideology and system, it transfers nuclear technology to its allies and connives at their development and possession of nuclear weapons. This well shows how contradictory, one-sided and unjustifiable is the double standards of the U.S.
    It is self-evident that the DPRK can never drop its nuclear program when the U.S. is trying to cover up the secret nuclear activities of south Korea by applying the double standards to the nuclear issue.
    The cases of secret nuclear experiments made under a scrupulous plan in south Korea under the manipulation of the U.S. prove that the U.S. from the very beginning intended to use the six-party talks for disarming the DPRK, not for the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula. That was why it totally demolished the basis of the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula when there were some signs of positive movement toward it at the third round of the six-party talks.
    Absolutely just is the stand of the DPRK not to give up its nuclear program under the present situation.
    If a nuclear race is to be prevented in Northeast Asia, the U.S. should come to the conference table for the substantial settlement of the nuclear issue with the will to practically renounce its hostile policy towards the DPRK, the root cause of the occurrence of the nuclear issue.
    We will decide on our next action while closely watching the U.S. moves with regard to its double standards in the nuclear issue and the correction of its hostile policy toward the DPRK.
