Deputy Foreign Minister Issues Statement

Date: 04/12/2019 | Source: Naenara (En) | Read original version at source

Ri Thae Song, vice minister of Foreign Affairs of the DPRK in charge of the US Affairs, released the following statement on December 3:

Drawing nearer is the year-end time limit the DPRK set for the US.

However, the US is keen on gaining time needed for it, talking about the "sustained and substantial dialogue", far from acting in response to the measures taken by the DPRK first.

The dialogue touted by the US is, in essence, nothing but a foolish trick hatched to keep the DPRK bound to dialogue and use it in favor of the political situation and election in the US.

The DPRK has heard more than enough dialogue rhetoric raised by the US whenever it is driven into a tight corner. So, no one will lend an ear to the US any longer.

The DPRK has done everything transparently and openly so far. It feels no need to hide what it will do from now on and therefore, reminds the US once again that the year-end time limit comes nearer.

The DPRK has done its utmost with maximum perseverance not to backtrack from the important steps it has taken on its own initiative.

What is left to be done now is the US option and it is entirely up to the US what Christmas gift it will select to get.
