U.S. Perfidy under Fire

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

120605 - U.S. Perfidy under Fire     Pyongyang, December 6 (KCNA) -- The U.S. is persisting in such perfidy as escalating its sanctions and pressure upon the DPRK reneging on its promise made to the DPRK at the first phase of the fifth round of the six-party talks. This comes under fire by a signed commentary of Rodong Sinmun Tuesday. The news analyst says: This is evidenced by its behavior of shunning the proposed DPRK-U.S. direct talks to discuss the issue of lifting financial sanctions against the DPRK under this or that pretext. This only increases public skepticism about the possibility to resume the six-party talks.
    In order for the six-party talks to proceed smoothly in a sound atmosphere and make progress it is necessary for the participating countries to be discreet in their words and deeds in the direction of respecting each other and promoting the relations of confidence.
    However, the U.S. diplomatic chief, when interviewed by the U.S.A. Today shortly ago, openly blustered that there is no need to hold DPRK-U.S. bilateral talks over the lift of financial sanctions, hinting that the U.S. is pressurizing the DPRK in all aspects.
    Such behavior of the U.S. cannot be construed otherwise than a deliberate act to touch off anti-American sentiment among the servicepersons and people in the DPRK and deter the six-party talks from resuming.
    It is impossible to resume the six-party talks under such provocative sanctions applied by the U.S. upon the DPRK. This is the stand of the DPRK. The prospect of the six-party talks will depend on whether the U. S. works hard to build confidence with the DPRK on the principle of mutual respect and equality or persists in its self-justified and unilateral acts.
    If the U.S. truly wants the resumption and progress of the six-party talks it should take practical measures to lift the financial sanctions against the DPRK at an early date as it committed itself to do so before the other five parties at the talks. Only then a prospect will be opened for the resumption of the six-party talks.
