U.S. Switchover in Its Confrontational Policy Urged

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, October 23 (KCNA) -- The United States had better stop playing trite tricks to shift the blame for keeping the DPRK-U.S. nuclear standoff unresolved and making it impossible to resume the six-party talks on to other and make a trustworthy option to change its confrontational hostile policy towards the DPRK. Rodong Sinmun Saturday says this in its signed commentary.
    Disclosing that the U.S. hostile policy towards the DPRK is, in essence, aimed to realize the "unification by absorption" after bringing down the system in the DPRK, the commentary says that the root cause of the nuclear issue between the DPRK and the U.S. is the U.S. confrontational hostile policy towards the DPRK.
    The commentary goes on:
    The nuclear racket kicked up by the U.S. after designating the DPRK as part of an "axis of evil" and a target of its preemptive nuclear attack irrefutably proves that its confrontational hostile policy towards the DPRK is inching close to an extremely dangerous line.
    This situation is arousing deep concern among the countries around the Korean Peninsula. In fact, the U.S. and the countries around the peninsula have different strategic interests surrounding it. Those countries want to see the sustainable stability of the situation and the relations of brisk regional cooperation. But the U.S., which is far away from Northeast Asia, seeks to keep the instability in the region and increase its influence and expand the sphere of its military presence there. The U.S. does not want to abandon its confrontational hostile policy towards the DPRK in order to meet these strategic interests. This is a main source of trouble and a stumbling block in the way of settling the present situation. Explicitly speaking, it is hard to expect any solution from the six-party talks or from any other form of talks unless the U.S. drops its confrontational hostile policy aimed to topple the "system" of its dialogue partner. If the U.S. persistently pursues its confrontational hostile policy towards the DPRK from the viewpoint of escapism, it will only compel the DPRK to double its deterrent force, much less any solution to the nuclear issue.
    The U.S. should abandon its confrontational hostile policy towards the DPRK and adopt a policy helpful for the peaceful reunification based on the co-existence of the north and the south. This would be a master key to ensuring durable peace and achieving Korea's reunification. This policy switchover on the part of the U.S. would be favorable for the settlement of the nuclear issue, the improvement of the DPRK-U.S. relations and the security on the region.
