Rodong Sinmun Monday observes in a commentary in this regard:

Action for action remains as the basic principle of settling the nuclear issue. The DPRK will not unilaterally move first to resume the six-party talks.

The U.S. is taking issue with the DPRK, contending that Pyongyang has not abandoned its nuclear program as it promised to do in the September 19 joint statement, but it is the U.S. which reneged on its promise and defaulted on its duty.

After its emergence, the Obama administration adopted it as its policy to mount a preemptive nuclear attack on the DPRK. It has openly threatened and blackmailed the DPRK while introducing strategic forces such as nuclear strategic bombers and nuclear carriers into the Korean Peninsula in a rotating way and ceaselessly staging nuclear war exercises to mount a preemptive attack on the DPRK.

The pending issues between the DPRK and the U.S. still remain as empty commitments due to the U.S. reckless hostile acts.

The escalating U.S. nuclear threat and blackmail and moves for a war against the DPRK are a grave encroachment upon its vital rights and sovereignty in wanton violation of the DPRK-U.S. agreements and the September 19 joint statement in which the U.S. promised neither to use any armed forces including nuclear weapons against the DPRK nor to threaten it with them.

The DPRK will not take a denuclearization step first to resume the talks unless the U.S. shows in action its willingness to roll back its hostile policy toward the DPRK.
