U.S. Urged to Sincerely Approach Six-party Talks

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)

   Pyongyang, July 16 (KCNA) -- The United States should abandon its narrow-minded attitude and sincerely approach the six-way talks to be resumed with so much effort so that they may play their role. The Solidarity for Implementing the South-North Joint Declaration said this in a statement titled "The U.S. should make a fundamental switchover in its attitude" released on July 11.
    Recalling the fact that the contact was made between the heads of the delegations of the DPRK and the U.S. to the talks in Beijing on July 9 and an agreement was reached to resume the talks, the statement said that however, one cannot be yet optimistic about the prospect of the talks.
    The final goal of the talks is to achieve lasting peace and stability and the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, the statement noted, and continued:
    What is important for the substantial progress of the talks above all is for the U.S. to make a switchover in its attitude.
    If the U.S. persists in its hard-line approach towards the talks, the talks will not prove fruitful no matter how frequently they take place. It should respect its dialogue partner and sincerely approach the talks. We will intensify the anti-U.S. and anti-war struggle for the withdrawal of the U.S. forces, closely following its attitude towards the talks.
