Beijing, December 22 (KCNA Correspondent) -- The Democratic People's Republic of Korea will closely watch the U.S. future attitude, declared Kim Kye Gwan, vice-minister of Foreign Affairs who headed the DPRK delegation to the six-party talks, when interviewed by mediapersons in Beijing on Friday. He said:
We clarified our will to realize denuclearization at the talks and participated in them despite sanctions. We, therefore, urged the U.S. to lift sanctions against the DPRK, to begin with, and start the discussion on the issue of denuclearization. The U.S., however, demanded a stop to our nuclear activities and verification of them without taking any action for lifting the sanctions.
We decisively opposed this and told the U.S. side to further study our proposal.
Meanwhile, the chairman's statement was adopted at the six-party talks.
