A
spokesman for the Foreign Ministry of the DPRK gave the following answer to the
question raised by KCNA on April 12 over the absurd story about dialogue being
floated around the DPRK.
A
touch-and-go situation is now prevailing in the Korean peninsula due to the
moves of the US for a nuclear war. Nevertheless, some countries are talking
about the six-party talks, simultaneous pushing forward of denuclearization and
the conclusion of a peace treaty and the like.
Even
a mere child knows well that dialogue is impossible under the present tense situation
on the peninsula.
There
is only the danger of nuclear clash on the Korean peninsula due to the
unprecedented US-south Korea joint military drills for aggression and the
entirely just measures taken by the Korean People’s Army to cope with them.
Dialogue
should be based on mutual respect and equality among its parties.
The
DPRK doesn’t oppose dialogue but categorically rejects any unequal dialogue.
It
is the DPRK’s consistent and principled stand not to have a dialogue under
unilateral pressure.
Dialogue
and military threat, dialogue and sanctions can never go together.
Such
logic that the purpose of imposing sanctions is to have a dialogue can never
work on the DPRK.
Due
to the ever-escalating hostile acts of the US, the nuclear issue of the DPRK has
long been away from its negotiating table.
The
DPRK’s proposal that it would put a moratorium on its nuclear test in return
for the US halt to the joint war drills would no longer be valid as the latter
turned it down.
As
already clarified by the DPRK, it will steadily and dynamically push ahead with
its line of simultaneously pushing forward the two fronts until the world is
denuclearized.
The
urgent issue to be settled on the Korean peninsula is to put a definite end to
the US hostile policy toward the DPRK, the root cause of all problems.
Whether
the issue would be solved through dialogue and negotiations or through other
methods entirely depends on the attitude of the US.
