It amuses me for a moment --and then saddens me for its people living under such deception and evil-- whenever I read North Korea's international statements. It seems mildly comical that Pyongyang is discussing building a trust relationship between the US and itself, when it has been the noncompliant player all along.
Now it is pushing for comprehensive arms talks:
North Korea's Foreign Ministry says six-way talks on its nuclear programmes must be upgraded into comprehensive disarmament talks now that it has become a nuclear state, Seoul's Yonhap news agency is reporting.
What exactly does this mean? I sure hope Washington, Moscow, Beijing and Tokyo know what North Korea means about "upgrading" the talks; all seems a bit fuzzy to me.
As for that trust-atmosphere in Northeast Asia, here is a quote from a spokesman of the NK foreign ministry:
"Escalating the U.S. nuclear threat on the Korean peninsula and its surroundings, which gave us no choice but to possess nuclear weapons, must be cleared and a relationship of trust between us and related countries must be established," he said.
