Pyongyang, Oct 1 (Prensa Latina) US representative to the Beijing six-party talks, Christopher Hill, arrived in Pyongyang on Wednesday to talk with DPRK authorities about denuclearization of the peninsula.

Hill, who is Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs, arrived to Pyongyang by land from Seoul after crossing the Panmunjom demilitarized zone, according to KCNA news agency.

This is his third trip to the DPRK. The previous ones were in January and December last year.

Since 2003, the DPRK, South Korea, China, Japan, Russia and the United States have been holding negotiations in Beijing aimed to denuclearization of the peninsula.

Last week, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea described as a US trick the call for six-party nuclear talks in Beijing, as Washington's only goal is another war against the northern state of the Korean peninsula.

A commentary published recently by Rodong Sinmun daily said that the real US intention by this step is to move rapidly a great number of reinforcements from US territory to the Korean front, as any "emergency" appears in the peninsula, and launch a preemptive attack against the DPRK, which means war, in violation of the Joint Declaration of September 19, the daily noted.

Under the said document, Pyongyang and Washington are committed to mutual respect and peaceful coexistence and to stop anti-peace attacks, which cast a shadow of nuclear war against the Korean Peninsula.

This reality proves that measures adopted by the DPRK to consolidate national self-defense forces and the right to opt for military actions for its legitimate defense are right, the paper added.
