Fiction about DPRK's Pursuance of "Uranium Enrichment Program" Refuted

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

    Pyongyang, September 13 (KCNA) -- The United States in a report worked out to attain its sinister aim termed the DPRK a violator of the international arms control agreement and claimed that it has pursued clandestine "uranium enrichment program" backtracking from its promise to freeze plutonium producing facilities and thus breached the Joint Declaration on the Denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and the DPRK-U.S. Agreed Framework (AF). Rodong Sinmun Tuesday carries a signed commentary in this regard. It says:
    It is not the first time that the U.S. floated misinformation that the DPRK is to blame for delaying solution to the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula. Its false propaganda launched just before the second phase of the fourth round of the six-party talks cannot be construed otherwise than a very insolent act seeking a sinister political purpose. The U.S. talk about the DPRK's "uranium enrichment program" is no more than a sheer fabrication.
    It is also sheer sophism for the U.S. to claim that the DPRK has violated the joint declaration on the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and the AF. It is the U.S. that has pursued a nuclear war in utter disregard of the joint declaration and the AF. It has massively deployed new type nuclear weapons in and around south Korea, reneging on its commitment not to use nuclear weapons against the DPRK nor to threaten it with those weapons. In addition, it has increased its nuclear threat and blackmail against the DPRK and the danger of a nuclear war. In the final analysis, the U.S. is accountable for making it impossible to implement the declaration and the AF and pushing the DPRK-U.S. nuclear stand-off to an extreme phase.
    The U.S. designated the DPRK as a target of a preemptive nuclear attack and worked hard to impose a nuclear holocaust upon the Koreans. This compelled the DPRK to bolster its nuclear deterrent for self-defense to cope with this. As seen above, it is the U.S. that compelled the DPRK to have access to nuclear weapons. The U.S. should, therefore, reflect on this hard fact.
