And weapons...?
MOSCOW, September 1 (RIA Novosti, Ivan Zakharchenko) - North Korea does not intend to give up its right to develop nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, North Korean Ambassador to Moscow Pak Ui Chun said in an interview with RIA Novosti Thursday. "This is a matter of principal, concerning our sovereign right to nuclear energy and weapons and the sovereignty of the state, which we cannot give up in any way," the ambassador said.
Pyongyang's nuclear weapons right is not an issue "over which someone can give or refuse someone else permission," he said.
"The U.S. denial of our sovereign right of weapons displays a logic that contradicts the official declaration of 'acknowledging the sovereignty of North Korea.'"...
...North Korea insists that in order to resolve the nuclear weapons issue of the Korean Peninsula, South Korea must invite inspectors, and "prove their declaration of the absence of nuclear weapons on South Korean territory and provide guarantees that they will not import them or produce them."
OK. This is a fair insistance. Will South Korea be getting special "aid" for NOT possesing nuclear weapons? When does Canada get food and oil from Russia, China and Japan for NOT having nuclear weapons?
