Lee Myung Bak Accused of Trying to Use Seoul 'Summit' for Int′l Anti-DPRK Campaign

Lee Myung Bak Accused of Trying to Use Seoul 'Summit' for Int′l Anti-DPRK Campaign

Pyongyang, March 23 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea in a statement Friday denounced the south Korean regime for working hard to turn the Seoul "nuclear security summit" into a platform for international smear campaign against the DPRK.

By nature, the summit was first hosted by the U.S. in Washington in 2010 under the pretext of "preventing nuclear terrorism" and, therefore, there is no ground whatsoever to pull up the DPRK, the statement noted, and went on:

At the outset the south Korean puppet regime tried hard to dodge the DPRK's opposition and domestic and foreign public criticism, asserting that the summit is not a forum for discussing the "nuclear issue of the north."

The regime, however, revealed its sinister intention to turn the summit into a forum for such noisy anti-DPRK campaign as taking issue with its nuclear deterrent and projected launch of Kwangmyongsong-3 for peaceful purposes.

Lurking behind this are the regime's sinister aims to weather serious ruling crisis by rallying conservative forces through more frantic rackets of confrontation and war in the closing period of its rule and turn its unfavorable situation in the general election favorable to it. It also aims to make workable earlier UN resolutions on sanctions against the DPRK now defunct in face of domestic and foreign criticism and kick off a new racket for sanctions.

And the regime's frantic racket was prompted by its uneasiness and fear of the DPRK's demonstration of tremendous national power before the world. Another ulterior aim is to save its face as it failed twice to launch a satellite with the help of others.

To use an international meeting for moves to escalate the confrontation with fellow countrymen is a reckless act which can be perpetrated only by such ignorant political gangsters and hooligans as the puppet group.

The DPRK's stand on the summit has already been clarified.

If the puppet group dares find fault with the DPRK's nuclear deterrent and satellite launch for peaceful purposes and kick off an anti-DPRK racket at the summit despite its repeated warnings and accusations at home and abroad, this will compel it to take strongest counter-measures which no one can imagine.

We will never give up what has already been declared but react to any pressure or provocation with toughest measures.

In case an extreme development takes place on the Korean Peninsula, the provocateurs and their followers will be entirely accountable for it.
