朝鲜民主主义人民共和国外交部发言人也于10月6日表示，在美国朝着彻底和不可逆转地放弃其对朝鲜民主主义人民共和国的敌对政策迈出实质性一步之前，我们无意举行令人作呕的谈判，因为美国的这一政策威胁我国的安全，并阻碍我国人民的生存权和发展权。
The spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea also stated on 6 October that we have no intention of holding sickening negotiations before the United States takes a substantial step towards completely and irreversibly abandoning its hostile policy against the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, which threatens the security of our country and hampers our people’s right to existence and to development.
