KCNA Blasts U.S. Conservative Hard-liners' Deliberate Act to Scuttle Denuclearization Process

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

   Pyongyang, July 10 (KCNA) -- The U.S. conservative hard-liners have become all the more undisguised in their moves to hinder the implementation of the October 3 agreement adopted by the six-party talks now that it has entered the new phase of implementation thanks to the DPRK's sincere efforts.
    They submitted to Congress a bill on postponing the measure for taking the DPRK off the list of "state sponsors of terrorism" while underscoring the need for "correct verification of the nuclear declaration" and "dismantlement of nuclear weapons". This is a typical example of those moves.
    The DPRK resolutely dismisses this as a despicable act to scuttle the denuclearization process on the Korean Peninsula in the end.
    What should not be overlooked is that the U.S. conservative hard-liners have seriously misinterpreted the DPRK's willingness and efforts for denuclearization in order to serve their interests.
    The DPRK's disablement of its nuclear facilities has been done more than 80 % as of now and it fulfilled the agreed point calling for submitting an accurate and complete nuclear declaration.
    The DPRK blew up the cooling tower at the pilot atomic power plant as a measure taken out of good faith, demonstrating once again its will for denuclearization at home and abroad.
    This notwithstanding, the conservative hard-liners painted the DPRK as "a country good at deceptive artifice," claiming that "north Korea is capable of possessing highly-enriched uranium technology without a cooling tower". This proves to what extent their hostile policy toward the DPRK has reached.
    The principle of "action for action" is the key to realizing the denuclearization.
    The U.S. is obliged to join the DPRK in its efforts for the process by honoring its commitments with good faith.
    The DPRK will make a relevant decision depending on the U.S. future actions.
    The U.S. conservative hard-liners had better clearly understand that they will be held fully accountable for all the ensuing consequences should they persistently bar the progress of the talks.
