Special report: Six-party talks
resume
PYONGYANG, Jan. 17 (Xinhua) -- The Democratic
People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) on Wednesday lashed out at the United States
for blocking the resumption of six-party talks, the country's leading official
newspaper Rodong Sinmun reported.
DPRK said the United States has only pretended to
make efforts to resume the six-party talks. "In fact, it is none other than the
U.S. which is blocking off all the access routes to them," said a signed comment
published by the newspaper.
The comment also accused the United States of
preparing a series of military exercises and arms buildup against DPRK. It said
the DPRK would use its "strong self-defense deterrent" to "shatter the moves of
the U.S. imperialists to provoke a war."
The DPRK conducted its first nuclear test on Oct. 9
last year, prompting a harsh reaction from the international community and
sanctions from the UN Security Council.
Negotiators from the United States and the Democratic
People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) met in Berlin on Tuesday to discuss how they
could resume the six-party talks.
