| N. Korea bashes Park over summit with Obama |
| 2014-04-28 |
| North Korea bashed South Korean President Park Geun-hye Sunday over her summit with U.S. President Barack Obama two days ago, saying she insulted the dignity and regime of the communist nation. Park and Obama held summit talks in Seoul Friday amid indications that North Korea is fully prepared to conduct another nuclear test. The communist nation previously conducted nuclear tests in 2006, 2009 and 2013. In a joint press conference with Obama, Park warned Pyongyang that a new form of provocation would lead to new levels of pressure from the international community. North Korea's Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea, which handles inter-Korean affairs, bristled at the remarks. "Park Geun-hye met Obama and wickedly took issue with our nuclear (program), our parallel pursuit (of economic development and nuclear armament), and our dignity and regime, letting out a stream of criticism," a spokesman for the committee said in a statement carried by the North's official Korean Central News Agency. The statement described Park in explicit and crude terms, calling her "an immature girl" and her remarks "filthy water." The spokesman also claimed that there is no hope for the future of inter-Korean relations as long as Park remains in power, saying her remarks amounted to a declaration of war. "Obama's visit to South Korea showed that the United States must be confronted not with words but only with power, and that our judgment and determination that there should be a final settlement through an all-out nuclear battle were completely correct (emphasis added - UP) ," the statement said. |
