It goes on:

The denuclearization of the peninsula is a consistent stand of the DPRK.

The DPRK held talks with the U.S., the party responsible for the nuclear issue on the peninsula, prompted by the desire to defuse the danger of a nuclear war and ensure peace and stability in the region.

Negotiations had been under way since June, 1993 for solving the nuclear issue between the DPRK and the U.S. and they culminated in the adoption of the DPRK-U.S. Agreed Framework in October, 1994. Had the agreed framework been successfully implemented, the nuclear issue between the DPRK and the U.S. would have already been settled.

The U.S., however, staged madcap war drills targeting the DPRK under a scenario for a preemptive nuclear strike on it while holding the negotiations with the latter.

The U.S. became ever more undisguised in its policy for stifling the DPRK behind the scene of denuclearization in the period of the Bush II Administration.

Under such situation, the DPRK put forward correct proposals to seek a peaceful solution of the nuclear issue on the peninsula at the six-way talks and on various other occasions and made every possible effort to put them into practice.

However, the U.S. persistently pursued the hostile policy toward the DPRK and escalated the nuclear war racket to stifle it.

The present Obama Administration has followed the same policy toward the DPRK.

The U.S. had better reflect, though belatedly, on its nuclear threat that compelled the DPRK to have access to nukes.
