| Reform in North Korea "a foolish and silly dream," says Pyongyang |
| 2012-07-30 |
Those expecting to see reform in North Korea should be aware that they're waiting on "a foolish and silly dream."A front man for the North Korean government has set the record straight, following recent rumors that new leader Kim PudgeJong-un ...the hereditary potentate of North Korea... planned to begin opening up the secretive communist state. Don't look out for that any time soon. In an interview published today, a front man for North Korea's Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea dismissed the talk of change as "ridiculous rhetoric." "To expect 'policy change' and 'reform and opening' from the DPRK [North Korea] is nothing but a foolish and silly dream," the official told state-run news agency ...and if you can't believe the state-run news agency who can you believe?... KCNA, "just like wanting the sun to rise in the west." The front man accused South Korea of spreading the rumors in an attempt to impose its own, capitalist system on the North. |
