Lie about Beijing Secret Contact Refuted
Pyongyang, June 10 (KCNA) -- The south Korean regime let a spokesman for Chongwadae make an official announcement that the "true intention" reflected in Lee Myung Bak's "Berlin proposal" was conveyed to the DPRK side at a secret contact made between the north and the south of Korea in Beijing. It had been already disclosed before the world that it was a sheer lie.
Much upset by the first announcement made by the DPRK, the regime falsified the fact, claiming that there was a secret contact with the DPRK but it was a contact not aimed to have "summit talks" but wrest "the north's admission and apology" for "the Cheonan" warship sinking case and the Yonphyong Island shelling incident.
The delegate of the Policy Department of the NDC who participated in the contact gave the following answers to the questions raised by KCNA reporter on Thursday in this regard:
To begin with, the south side's assertion that the already disclosed contact was not aimed to open "summit talks" was a sheer lie.
As soon as Kim Chon Sik, policy room chief of the south Korean Ministry of Unification, met us, he hyped the "meaning" of the recent contact, reminding us that the contact was provided by the direct instruction and "approval" of the "president" for the purpose of opening "summit talks".
He noted that Hyon In Thaek, minister of Unification, was directly supervising the whole course of the contact and reporting about it to Chongwadae through an exclusive line.
Next, the south side's insistence that it neither put forth any compromise proposal regarding "apology" nor begged for it was a shameful excuse.
When it raised the issue of "apology," while talking about "feelings of the south" towards the "Cheonan" warship case only to meet a prompt rebuff from our side, the south side asked out side to make even a compromise proposal which cannot be interpreted as "apology" when viewed by the north side but viewed by the south side as "apology." Finding this not workable, the south side said if the north side expresses "regret" at least, the south side would accept it as "apology" and roll back its policy of confrontation pursued so far and even the "summit talks" could be rapidly pushed forward.
Our side explicitly told the south side as follows: To wrest "apology" from us for the case we had nothing to do with and for the exercise of its legitimate sovereignty is an insult to the DPRK and a manifestation of the south side's sinister intention to escalate the confrontation with the DPRK. You'd better go back to Seoul at once as such secret contact is unnecessary.
Next, the south side's assertion that it never proposed "summit talks" according to schedule nor can it make its proposal is far-fetched sophism.
When the contact came to a rupture without reaching any agreement, Kim Thae Hyo, presidential secretary for Foreign Strategy, produced a program he claimed was worked out in reflection of the "intention of the 'president'," saying the "summit talks" should be opened without fail and the present authorities are pressed for time.
This was the timetable for holding secret contact once again in Malaysia and then opening ministerial talks before having "summit talks" at Panmunjom in June, in Pyongyang in August and Seoul in March next year when the "summit for nuclear safety" would be held.
The DPRK side retorted the south side's assertion, saying what is the use of having such timetable under the present situation where no agreement has been reached.
It is ridiculous for the south side to plead as nonsense the fact that enveloped money was offered only to be shamed.
At first the south side asserted that there was no case of enveloped money. But now it distorts the fact by claiming that the money was for expenses to be paid traditionally by the sponsor of contact rather than "reward" for leading the contact to "summit talks".
If it is usage for a party sponsoring any talks to pay necessary expenses as asserted by the south side, why didn't the south side present the enveloped money at the time of the two preceding rounds of contact?
The south Korean authorities are keeping the participants in the contact in complete isolation from the outer world, holding them incommunicado. And Lee Myung Bak, prime mover of the contact, is keeping mum about it in a bid to prevent the greater effect of the case, out of a fear that "any word out of the president might trigger strong earthquake or tsunami at the moment".
