North Korea to ignore talks after Cheney comments
North Korea said today recent remarks by US vice-president Dick Cheney about leader Kim Jong Il, labelling him an “irresponsible” leader, are another reason for it to stay away from international nuclear disarmament talks.
“His slander … is tantamount to telling us not to come to the table for the talks,” an unnamed North Korean Foreign Ministry spokesman said, according to the state-run Korean Central News Agency.
