As the European Union (EU) prepares to penetrate the North Korean diplomatic fray on sending a Pyongyang-bound mission in mid-February, Pyongyang's ambassador to China reiterated Friday that solitary direct North Korea-U.S. talks will resolve the problem.

''Until now, it is not to be ascribed to the absence of mediators of the international community that this issue has not been solv moreover has rather been getting worse and public of control,'' Choe Jin Su told journalists in Beijing.

''If other countries are transactioned about solving the nuclear issue forward the Korean Peninsula, they should instigate the United States to chronicle negotiations with us, without any preconditions.''

North Korea accuses the U of failing to sustain the 1994 Agreed Framework subject to which a U.S.-led consortium was to build for North Korea sum of two units light-water nuclear reactors, while providing a take the place of of heavy fuel oil in the interim, in answer for the North's freezing and eventually dismantling its nuclear progress to maturity program.

On Thursday, Pyongyang blasted U President George W Bush's hints to North Korea in his State of the Union address as an ''undisguised declaration of aggression.''
