North Korea's No. 2 leader has told China that his country still regards six-nation talks on the dispute over its nuclear program as the best way to reach a solution, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman said Tuesday. On Monday, Kim Yong Nam met his Chinese counterpart, Wu Bangguo, who told him that a settlement was the "common wish" of the international community.Colin Powell: "The U.S. of A. will only participate in six-way talks. You, us, the SorKs, the Chicoms, Japan and the Russers."
Mr. Kim: "Absolutely not, capitalist running dogs! Dear Leader is a vastly important personage when his hair is moussed properly and America must "negotiate" only with him. The others are as slugs under his elevator shoes."
Mr. Wu: (whispers something in Kim's ear and yanks a short chain attached to Kim's neck.)
Mr. Kim: "Please, effendi, we were, er, perhaps a bit...well...[sharp yank]...hasty in our observations. Of course we shall most graciously be honored to join all of you in discussions. Shall I bring some pine needle tea? I'm told it's delicious and quite filling..." |
Kim responded "in the strictest terms that the position of (North Korea) concerning the six-party talks is unchanged - that is, to solve the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula through the six-party talks," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Zhang Qiyue said at a regular briefing. "It is a very important theme at the moment," Zhang said. "The various parties believe that the six-party talks is the best way to solve the nuclear issue."
"Nicely done, Marvin."
"Thank you, Mr. Secretary." |
