NDC POLICY DEPARTMENT OF DPRK SLAMS PARK GEUN HYE'S SOPHISM DURING HER FOREIGN TRIP

Pyongyang, November 14 (KCNA) -- The spokesman for the Policy Department of the DPRK National Defence Commission (NDC) released a statement on Thursday denouncing the foreign trip made by Park Geun Hye during which she revealed her true colors as a despicable sycophant and traitor and maniac keen on confrontation with compatriots.

Recalling that she visited West European countries from Nov. 2 to 9 in the wake of her junkets to the U.S. and other foreign countries as soon as she took office as puppet south Korean president, the statement said:

Park again shouted herself hoarse for the DPRK's "dismantlement of nukes" during her trips to West European countries.

Nukes and missiles of the DPRK serve as strong forces deterring the U.S. from inflicting a nuclear disaster upon the former and treasured swords for self-defence to protect the destiny of the country and compatriots.

Sovereignty and dignity are dearer than the destiny of a nation.

In this sense, the demand that the DPRK should dismantle its nukes and missiles is, in the final analysis, little short of forcing it to give up its sovereignty and dignity to be a slave of imperialism.

The same can be said of such words as "right option" and "genuine change" uttered by Park.

What the DPRK wishes for is by no means the U.S.-style market economy based on showy U.S.-style democracy or logic of jungle law.

The road to be covered by the DPRK is the one characterized by its independence in politics, self-support in the economy and self-reliance in defence, the path of giving top priority to the interests of the nation.

It is the most right option and genuine change desired by all compatriots to map out policies as required by the road and carry out them in practice.

The army and people of the DPRK as ever independently settle the issues related to the north-south relations on the principle of placing the nation above all and attaching importance to it.

It is none other than Park Geun Hye who should make a right option and work for genuine peace.

Prior to her trip to West European countries, she even talked about "north-south summit" in a bid to improve her image.

She pretended to be concerned for the detente on the Korean Peninsula and the prospect of the inter-Korean relations. However, it only revealed her vulgar personality.

North-south summit serves as an important occasion in achieving the unity of the nation and a lever for realizing peaceful reunification.

It is quite natural that good remarks favorable for the interests of the nation cannot be heard from her as she has such a wrong way of thinking as considering hostility as "confidence" and confrontation as "principle."

Park clearly revealed her nature as an ugly sycophant and traitor and maniac keen on confrontation with fellow countrymen not only during her visit to the U.S. in May prior to her recent tour of West European countries but also during her junkets to a neighboring country and Southeast Asian countries.

Such anachronistic act of treachery as clinging to coattails of foreign forces, her back turned on the nation, will only result in wringing her neck herself.

Availing itself of this opportunity, the Policy Department of the NDC of the DPRK once again serves the following strong warning to Park and her group:

First, they should not dare utter words about the nukes of the DPRK and its line of simultaneously pushing forward economic construction and the building of nuclear force any longer.

Their vociferous talking about those matters as dictated by their American master would only add to the thrice-cursed crimes committed by them as sycophants and traitors and maniacs keen on confrontation with fellow countrymen.

They should know well that no one is more miserable than those political servants dancing to the tune of others, bereft of their own senses.

Second, they should not behave impudently in a bid to lead someone to "changes".

We watch thriving DPRK on the horizon. We are realizing all the dreams full of confidence, which the nation and the fellow countrymen have desired to bring into reality, along the path of our own choice.

It is not us but Park and her followers stuck in the mire of "yusin" that should make "changes."

Park should bear in mind that the south Korean people, too, have long worked hard to transform south Korean society into the one of justice, opposed to the road of sycophancy and treachery.

Third, if she wants to build confidence and receive the treatment as "head of state," she should come to her senses and properly behave.

It is said that treatment of one depends on his or her behavior.

Park should know that genuine confidence can be built only when she respects all the north-south joint declarations and agreements reached according to them, common achievements of the nation, before grumbling about someone's "breaking of promise" and good treatment would be accorded only when she stops deliberately speaking ill of someone.

Park and her group had better come to their senses, though belatedly.

Our army and people will closely watch their future attitude
