The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) Tuesday urged the United States to respond positively to its package plan based on the principle of simultaneous actions to resolve the nuclear issue.

"The most just way to solve the nuclear issue peacefully is forthe DPRK and the United States to take simultaneous actions to disperse each other's worries and build confidence," the leading newspaper Rodong Sinmun said in a commentary.

The stand and principled demand of the DPRK government is that the DPRK and the United States drop the guns at the same time, establish normal state-to-sate relations and achieve peaceful co-existence, the commentary said.

The United States must change its hostile policy toward the DPRK so as to peacefully resolve the nuclear issue through dialogue, the commentary added.

"If the United States is sincerely willing to provide 'written security assurances' for the DPRK, it should respond positively tothe DPRK's package solution based on the principle of simultaneous actions," the commentary said.

A spokesman for the DPRK Foreign Ministry said on Oct. 25 that the DPRK was ready to consider US President George W. Bush's recent offer of some written security assurance to the DPRK to help resolve the nuclear issue.

The Rodong Sinmun commentary said the DPRK government has also made it clear that if the six-way talks on the nuclear issue is part of the process implementing the package solution based on theprinciple of simultaneous actions, then the DPRK will join the talks.

The process of resolving the nuclear issue will only develop inthe desired direction if the United States treats the DPRK's goodwill properly and shows impartiality, it added.
