U.S. Urged to Properly Approach Six-way Talks (N Korea)

[DuctapeFatwa]

... The U.S. improper stand and attitude toward the resumption of the talks can not but pose a very serious problem. The U.S. is pressurizing the DPRK to scrap its nuclear weapons program first while shelving the issue of making a switchover in its policy toward the DPRK. This is a revelation of the U.S. true intention not to put an end to the hostile and belligerent bilateral relations and co-exist with the DPRK in peace. It also discloses the U.S. true intention to disarm the DPRK in an irreversible and verifiable manner and destroy it. It is a brigandish true purpose sought by the U.S. to completely disarm the DPRK and destroy it by the tactics of throttling it to the last.

The U.S. insistence on such stand would only destroy foundation of dialogue. It was attributable to the U.S. improper attitude and stand that talks and negotiations ended without any success in the past after undergoing turns and twists.

What matters here is where to focus attention in making preparations for the resumption of the talks. The preparations should be orientated toward reaching an agreement on actions at the first phase along with "words-for-words" commitments. The actions to be taken at the first phase are for the U.S. and the neighbouring countries to take measures in return for the DPRK's complete freeze of its nuclear activities. This is a starting point and a core issue of furthering the process of talks. ...

Whether the six-way talks are resumed or not entirely depends on how the U.S. makes preparations for them. A ball is in the U.S. court.
