During these days, I have been hearing through the news media a spate of strange signal being transmitted by the Americans with regard to the DPRK.
It was good enough for me to kill breakfast time by watching the TV news about the changes of the Americans’ mind-set who went the length of indicating signals of the possibility of the DPRK-U.S. summit talks.
It is still my personal opinion, however, I doubt that things like the DPRK-U.S. summit talks would happen this year.
... ... ...Our First Vice Foreign Minister recently made clear her stand in a statement over untimely “rumor about a DPRK-U.S. summit.”
The statement also mentioned the meddlesome man who had again indicated his intention to arbitrate between the DPRK and the U.S. regardless of time.
Our stand was as clear as day to be easily understood by the south, because they use the same language as us.
... ... ...A spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) gave the following answer to a question put by KCNA on July 4 with regard to the national referendum on the constitutional amendment held in Russia:
The constitutional amendment was assured through a national referendum on July 1, with nearly 80% of the participants in the referendum supporting the amendment.
We are pleased with the successful holding of the national referendum on the constitutional amendment, and we respect the choice made by the Russian people.
... ... ...Words “DPRK-U.S. summit” which have become dim even in our memory have become a topic for conversation from some days ago, drawing the attention of the international community.
There is a person who thoughtlessly voices an intention to mediate the summit, utterly regardless of what we, the dialogue party, would think of it, and there is rumor that the U.S. ruling quarters admit the need to hold DPRK-U.S. summit before the U.S. presidential election.
There are even some dreamers hoping to leverage our denuclearization measures for conditional lifting of sanctions, while raising hope for “October surprise.”
... ... ...Kim Son Gyong, vice-minister for European Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea issued the following statement on Wednesday:
On June 16, the spokesperson for Foreign Affairs & Security Policy led by the High Representative of the European Union picked a quarrel with the DPRK’s measure of completely destroying the north-south joint liaison office and overrode her commission in making absurd remarks that the DPRK should avoid any action that could raise tension and that it is imperative for the DPRK to open the lines of communication to avoid misunderstanding and miscalculation. She also said that the EU encourages dialogue for denuclearization on the Korean peninsula and the restart of a sustained diplomatic process aimed at building trust and establishing lasting peace and security on the Korean peninsula, free of nuclear weapons at the earliest possible time.
We are now pretty immune to such gibberish of the EU, but I didn’t know that the EU’s power of judgment was at such low level.
