N Korea Decries US Warmongering

Pyongyang, Dec 11 (Prensa Latina) The People's Democratic Republic of
Korea on Tuesday denounced US aggression on the Korean peninsula, and
arrival of a nuclear submarine to South Korea's Pusan port.

Rodong Sinmun daily, the official publication of the Workers' Party of
Korea, recalled the recent arrival of F-16, F-15, and F A-18 planes to
South Korean bases.

That deployment and intense US war exercises are an evident challenge
to North Korea, its partner in dialogue, the daily reads.

That stance, the publication sustains, is part of the invariable
hostile policy by US conservative extremists against North Korea, aimed
at bringing the denuclearization process to a standstill and putting
the situation on the brink of a war.

Such actions contravene the September 19, 2005 joint declaration on
denuclearization of the Korean peninsula, signed in Beijing by the six
parties involved in the talks, the newspaper indicates.

Those maneuvers can only be interpreted as a sinister ploy to hinder
advances in the talks, the Korean paper added.
