Lee Myung Bak Regime Can Never Evade Responsibility for Bringing Inter-Korean Relations to Collapse: Spokesman for NDC

Pyongyang, June 1 (KCNA) -- The Lee Myung Bak regime on May 19 spread rumor that the "true intention" reflected in Lee's "Berlin proposal" was conveyed to the DPRK side at a secret contact made between the north and the south of Korea in Beijing recently. A spokesman for the DPRK National Defence Commission Wednesday gave the following answer to a question put by KCNA as regards this:
Noting that a program for all events for the opening of the “summit talks” has already been worked out, they said that depending on the settlement of the issues of the two cases, they expected to open ministerial talks for the “summit talks” late in May to announce agreed points, hold the first round of the “summit talks” in Panmunjom late in June, the second one in Pyongyang two months later and the third round of the “summit talks”during the summit for nuclear security slated to take place in March next year.
When the DPRK side clarified its steadfast stand that such summit talks cannot take place as long as the south side insists on the hostile policy towards the DPRK, persistently claiming that the north should "dismantle its nukes first" and calling for "an apology" for the two cases, they asked it to express at least “regret” at the two cases, proposed meeting in Malaysia again to conclude the discussion of this issue and urged it to rapidly push forward the arrangements for opening the “summit talks".
The DPRK will make every possible effort to ensure peace, reunification and security on the Korean Peninsula but it will no longer deal with the Lee Myung Bak regime which meanly behaves, uttering incoherent words to achieve its sinister political aim.
