PYONGYANG -- The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) urged the United States to drop its hostile policy against Pyongyang and set up peacekeeping mechanism on the Korean Peninsula, the country's official newspaper said Thursday.
A spirit of reconciliation was prevailing between both sides of the Korean Peninsula and the six-party talks had made a great progress, which would help ease tensions, lessen confrontation and achieve sustainable peace on the Korean Peninsula, the newspaper Rodong Sinmun said.
But this favorable prospect was delayed, the paper said.
"There is no ground whatsoever for the United States to stick to its hostile policy toward the DPRK at a time when the general situation on the peninsula requires dialog, peace and reunification," it added.
