U.S. Urged to Adopt Policy of Peaceful Co-existence with DPRK

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, January 17 (KCNA) -- The U.S. should make a switchover from a hostile policy towards the DPRK to a policy of peaceful co-existence with it. This is the master key to finding a solution to the nuclear issue and it is a precondition and the only way for settling the issue. Rodong Sinmun Monday says this in a signed commentary. It goes on: The U.S. is entirely to blame for the deadlocked six-party talks and the delayed settlement of the nuclear issue.
    The U.S. says that it has no intention to invade the DPRK. If that is true, there is no reason for the U.S. not to make a switchover from its hostile policy towards the DPRK to a policy of peaceful co-existence with it. If the U.S. makes such a bold political decision, the nuclear issue will find a smooth solution.
    The U.S. should rebuild the groundwork of the six-party talks on the principle of "words for words" and "action for action" as it had agreed and promised at the talks.
    Consistent and entirely just is the DPRK's principled stand on the nuclear issue. The above-said principle laid down by it is the most effective formula to settle the nuclear issue.
    The U.S. should retract its policy to stifle the DPRK by force of arms and discontinue PSI exercises, nullify the "North Korean Human Rights Act" and stop the destabilizing operation to bring down the system in the DPRK.
    It is nothing but rhetoric to talk about the "resumption of the six-party talks" and "the settlement of the nuclear issue" without making this significant policy change.
    The DPRK and the U.S. are on an equal footing in settling the nuclear issue. So the U.S. has no right to compel the DPRK to move first.
    If the U.S. does not make a switchover in its policy towards the DPRK, the talks will be meaningless and there will be no need for the DPRK to go to such talks. Unshakable is the DPRK's stand regarding the U.S. policy switchover as main point.
    The U.S. should not mislead the public opinion but fulfill its commitment as early as possible, properly understanding the DPRK's principled stand and demand.
