JAKARTA, July 10 (Xinhua) -- The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) might return to diplomatic channels to end the nuclear standoff on the Korea Peninsula if its prerequisite for dialogue could be met, an Indonesian special envoy said on Monday.

    There were no signals suggesting that the DPRK leaders were against dialogue, said Nana Sutresna, who visited the DPRK last week.

    The envoy said DPRK leaders had reaffirmed their demand for concerned parties to eliminate obstacles preventing the resumption of the six-party talks, including the lifting of financial sanctions.

    Meanwhile, the envoy said the DPRK's missile tests were not designed to create hostility toward any country, and were only for self-defense.

    "It is not for offensive purposes. The DPRK's life is always covered by fears, ...fears of being attacked, (so) it must strengthen its defense. ... They want a security guarantee," Sutresna told Xinhua.

    The DPRK test-fired a barrage of missiles last Wednesday, including a long-range missile.

    In addition, Indonesian Foreign Minister Hassan Wirajuda said on Monday that Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono would visit the DPRK and South Korea to ease tensions on the Korea Peninsula.

    Since last November, the DPRK has boycotted the six-nation talks on its atomic aspirations, saying it would not come back to the negotiating table until the United States revoked its sanctions. Enditem
