Of late they say a hole is made in the cooperation for sanctions against the DPRK and that the south Korean authorities destroy the U.S.-Japan-south Korea cooperation as they are at loggerheads with Japan.

As regards the moves of many countries to resume cooperation with the DPRK, they say that the sanctions resolutions against the DPRK can be scraped.

Commenting on this, Rodong Sinmun Wednesday says that their claim is nothing but behaviors of political underwits without an elementary sense of judgment and the times.

The commentary notes that those who assert that sanctions and pressure upon the DPRK should be kept until denuclearization is realised are just guys who do not want the improvement of the DPRK-U.S. relations and stable situation of the Korean peninsula.

It goes on:

Sanctions do not work on the DPRK at all as it moves forward in the spirit of self-reliance and self-development.

The DPRK can make a dynamic advance along the road of the development of Korean-style socialism in reliance upon the efforts of its people without any external assistance and somebody's help.

The hostile forces who press for sustained sanctions and pressure upon the DPRK would be well advised to lend their ears to the demand of the international community that an action should be taken to respond to the DPRK's preemptive efforts, and behave themselves with reason.
