U.S. Can Never Evade Blame for Blocking Solution to Nuclear Issue: Rodong Sinmun
Pyongyang, October 21 (KCNA) -- It is two decades since the DPRK-U.S. agreed framework was adopted, but their relations are at the lowest ebb. This is entirely because the U.S. has persisted in its deep-rooted hostile policy toward the DPRK. Rodong Sinmun Tuesday says this in an article.

The U.S. approached the DPRK-U.S. agreed framework with a black-hearted intention from the outset and has blocked the way of settling the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula peacefully, the article notes, and goes on:

The U.S. is staging madcap nuclear war maneuvers against the DPRK in south Korea and its vicinity every year with lots of nuclear weapons involved. This is an open nuclear threat and blackmail against the DPRK.

The DPRK has made every possible sincere effort to defuse the ever-growing nuclear threat of the U.S. The DPRK put forth a proposal for building a nuclear-free zone through peaceful dialogue and negotiations and combined it with the method of removing the U.S. nuclear threat by relying on international law.

The U.S., however, made the situation complicated, persistently circulating a suspicion about nuclear development in the DPRK. It imposed "special inspection" on the DPRK and openly posed nuclear threat to it while resuming nuclear war drills. The U.S. used the NPT as a lever for stifling the DPRK.

The situation will remain unchanged as long as the U.S. persists in its hostile acts against the DPRK, not abandoning its ambition to stifle the social system in the DPRK. This is the lesson and conclusion drawn by the DPRK once again, looking back on the past history at present, 20 years since the adoption of the DPRK-U.S. agreed framework to settle the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula.

Instead of taking issue with the DPRK over its nuclear deterrence, the U. S. should reflect on its acts of creating the present situation and take a proper attitude, though belatedly. This is the only way of making a breakthrough towards settling the nuclear issue on the peninsula.
