There will be nothing but bad results

Pyongyang, December 9 (KCNA) -- The Kim Young Sam group of South Korea are now laying artificial obstacles in the building of light water reactors under the pretext of "Threat to safety of technicians." Commenting on this, rodong sinmun today says: The matters arising in consulate protection of the personnel of the lwr project were already discussed and agreed upon between the democratic people's republic of Korea and the Korean peninsula energy development organization (KEDO). This fully accords with the competent international law, international usage and a special background of the lwr project. Therefore, there will be no threat to safety of technical personnel. With the clamour about the "Threat to safety", the Kim Young Sam group intend to obstruct the implementation of the DPRK-U.S. agreed framework. We cannot but blame the united states for the South Korean puppets' reckless act. As the united states is the one party responsible for the implementation of the DPRK-U.S. agreed framework, it should not allow acts obstructive to it if she is willing to sincerely implement it. If the united states dances to the tune of the South Korean puppets, fleeing from its responsibility, it can expect neither the implementation of the DPRK-U.S. agreed framework nor solution to the outstanding issues between the two countries. It must make clear its stand and do what it should do.

S. Korean authorities accused of abusing submarine incident as bait for confrontation with north

Pyongyang, December 9 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the central committee of the dprk red cross society issued a statement today accusing the South Korean authorities of abusing the submarine incident as something for an ill- intentioned political dealing to extremely aggravate the north-south relations and as a bait for confrontation with the north. The statement says: Our side has repeatedly urged the South Korean authorities to return its submarine and the dead crewmen unconditionally and immediately. The submarine was wrecked in the east sea of Korea in september. This demand is reasonable in view of the background of the submarine incident and the principle of red cross humanitarianism. The South Korean authorities have not returned the submarine and the dead bodies, claiming that improvement of north-south relations is unthinkable without "Apology" from the north. This arrogant behavior is very unreasonable in view of the principle of red cross humanitarianism. It is a never-to- be-condoned inhumane crime in addition to their brutal killing of our guiltless soldiers. It is brigandish for the South Korean authorities to turn down our just demand while urging us to "Apologize." As a matter of fact, it is they who should apologize and ask for pardon for the submarine incident. Although they knew that our submarine was wrecked after an accident, they groundlessly branded our soldiers as "Spies" and brutally killed them with the mobilization of millions of troops and police and helicopters. Their demand for "Apology" from the north, the victim, is a gangster-like logic and the height of shamelessness. The whole nation and human conscience are expressing bitter indignation at the anti-national and unethic behaviour of the South Korean authorities, who not only mercilessly killed the soldiers of the north side but also are hellbent on the "Inter-Korean closed-door policy", refusing to return their bodies. The South Korean authorities would be well advised not to complicate this matter. It is clear that nothing good will go to them if they persist in their delaying tactics and thus make the matter further complicated. We have always solved not only Inter-Korean problems but also problems with other countries from the humanitarian point of view. In the past, we even sent back dead bodies of those who illegally intruded into our side and committed hostile acts and, furthermore, we have returned remains of those who died more than 40 years ago in the korean war. If the south korean authorities, turning their back on this fact, refuse to send back the submarine and the bodies of our soldiers and thus complicate the situation, they will be held wholly responsible for all the consequences arising therefrom.
