U.S. Pressure on S. Korea to Apply Sanctions against DPRK Assailed

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

   Pyongyang, October 28 (KCNA) -- The United States is pressurizing south Korea to apply sanctions against the DPRK and inciting confrontation with it, citing its nuclear deterrent for self-defence as a pretext. This is an intolerable encroachment upon the dignity and sovereignty of the Korean nation as it is a gangster-like act which clearly reveals its scenario for a war of aggression against the DPRK. A spokesman for the National Reconciliation Council said this in a statement Saturday.
    The U.S. is instructing south Korea to do this or that, dictating specific items to be subject to "sanctions against the north," the statement says, and goes on:
    This behavior of the U.S. is nothing but a brazen-faced outrage aimed to drive a wedge between the north and the south of Korea, incite confrontation between fellow countrymen and push the situation on the Korean Peninsula to the phase of war.
    It is a trite method employed by the U.S. to create hostility between the fellow countrymen and pit them against themselves.
    The U.S. employed the same method when igniting the last Korean war. It is still resorting to this method.
    It would be impossible for the Korean nation to defend the valuable gains brought about by the June 15 joint declaration and avoid the disaster of a nuclear war if the U.S. sinister attempt to let the Koreans fight between themselves and fish in trouble waters was left unchecked.
