SEOUL: North Korea vowed yesterday to resist all international demands on the communist state to allow nuclear inspections or agree to disarm, saying Iraq had made this mistake and was now paying the price.
“The DPRK (Democratic People's Republic of Korea) would have already met the same miserable fate as Iraq had it compromised its revolutionary principle and accepted the demand raised by the imperialists and its followers for ‘nuclear inspection' and disarmament,” the ruling party daily Rodong Sinmun said in a commentary.
