N.K. tension could be prolonged

[DrLeftover]

North Korea’s rejection of dialogue over its denuclearization is expected to prolong its war of nerves with the South and U.S. despite stepped-up diplomatic efforts by the allies and China to defuse tensions on the peninsula.

Indicating future negotiations with the allies should proceed on the premise that the North is a nuclear power, the Rodong Sinmun, the ruling Workers’ Party daily, said last week Pyongyang would join talks only over arms reduction.

The allies have maintained that the North should first show its sincerity over denuclearization and refrain from further escalating tensions before any political and economic assistance is offered to it.
