US Urged to Repeal Hostile Policy toward DPRK

Pyongyang, April 24 (KCNA) -- The People for Achieving Peace and Reunification of south Korea and organizations of Koreans in the U.S. including the Federation of Koreans in the U.S. on April 13 sent an open letter to the U.S. House of Representatives in demand of the repeal of the "bill on designating again the north as sponsor of terrorism".

The letter charged that the U.S. House of Representatives worked out the bill under the pretext of the cases of "Cheonan" warship sinking and Yonphyong Island shelling.

This is a product of the U.S. extremely hostile policy toward the DPRK, it said.

The bill is aimed to scuttle dialogue between the DPRK and the U.S., the letter said, stressing that this hostile bill should be repealed without fail.
