At a meeting held later he jabbered that the north can never seek prosperity and security while keeping nuclear weapons.

Rodong Sinmun Friday observes in a commentary in this regard: What Report uttered betrays the brigandish design of the U.S. to have the DPRK's nuclear deterrence for self-defense dismantled and realize its black-hearted scenario to stifle the DPRK at any cost.

What matters is the fact that the south Korean authorities are echoing his reckless remarks though he is inexperienced in diplomacy in a bid to escalate the confrontation with the north.

Explicitly speaking, the DPRK's line of simultaneously pushing forward economic construction and the building of nuclear force is the most just one as it makes it possible for it to remarkably increase its deterrence for self-defense and put more spurs to the economic construction so as to successfully accomplish the cause of building a thriving socialist nation.

The U.S. and the south Korean authorities are kicking up the frantic racket for escalating the confrontation with the DPRK, malignantly hurting its dignity, social system and the line at a time when it is making positive efforts for dialogue and cooperation. This reinforces the DPRK's conviction that they never want the detente and peace on the Korean peninsula and the improved inter-Korean ties, but are recklessly driving the situation into a catastrophic phase at any cost.

The reality goes to prove that the U.S. administration is leaving no stone unturned to completely spoil the atmosphere of dialogue and unleash a war against the DPRK by pushing the inter-Korean ties to a catastrophic phase in collusion with the south Korean puppet authorities.

An engine will dash ahead like the wind toward the final victory of the above-said line no matter how noisily dogs may bark.
