Pyongyang: Negotiations with the US would be possible only when Washington
stops its hostile policy and nuclear threat against the Democratic
People's Republic of Korea (DPRK/North Korea), its foreign
ministry said Tuesday.
"The DPRK is not opposed to dialogue but has no idea of sitting at
the humiliating negotiating table with the party brandishing a
nuclear stick," an unnamed ministry spokesman was quoted by the
official KCNA as saying, reported Xinhua.
"Worse still, the US claim that it will opt for dialogue when the
DPRK shows its will for denuclearization first is a very impudent
hostile act of disregarding the line of the Workers' Party of
Korea and the law of the DPRK," the spokesman said, adding that
dialogue should be based on the principle of respecting
sovereignty and equality.
The spokesman also accused the US of "staging ceaseless DPRK-targeted
nuclear war drills."
"The DPRK will escalate its military countermeasures for self-defense
unless the US ceases its nuclear war drills and withdraws all its
war hardware for aggression," he said.
The spokesman's remarks came after U.S. Secretary of State John
Kerry, who just concluded a three-nation tour in Asia, expressed
Washington's willingness to negotiate with Pyongyang.
