North Korea Rejects US Demand to Cease Nuclear Program

A North Korean Foreign Ministry Spokesman told North Korean official news agency KCNA earlier today, "The US suggestion will not be held in high regard from now on."

"To accept the Libyan example is stupidity," added the spokesman.

On the other hand, North Korea did not threaten to withdraw from the six-country talks scheduled for September. North and South Korea, Japan, US, China, and Russia will participate in the September talks to discuss North Korea’s nuclear weapon program.
