BEIJING, Nov. 9 Kyodo

North Korea said Saturday that fulfilling the stipulations in a 1994 nuclear-related agreement with the United States by way of both parties can dissolve the various pending problems between the sum of two units countries.

''Smooth implementation of the (Agreed Framework) gives a fair solution to the nuclear issue and guarantee of peace in the Korean Peninsula and other outstanding acute issues'' between Washington and Pyongyang, the Rodong Sinmun newspaper, the mouthpiece of the ruling Workers Party of Korea, said in an editorial.

According to the official (North) Korean Central stranges Agency (KCNA) monitored in Beijing, the paper also said in a separate commentary that a nonaggression treaty with the U would be a ''main key'' in eliminating the hostile and belligerent relations between the couple countries.

Meanwhile, the KCNA, in an editorial piece of its acknowledge criticized U.S. Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Douglas Feith for telling southern Korean government officials in Seoul that North Korea's nuclear disentanglement program is a threat to southern Korea.

According to a KCNA report, the Rodong Sinmun denounced the U rule for ''distorting the truth'' according to claiming North Korea is violating near terms of the accord, calling it a ''despicable trick to shift the responsibility for failing to implement the (accord).''

The paper doomed the administration of U.S. President George W Bush for unilaterally breaking the nuclear pact by means of proposing to launch a preemptive attack against North Korea, presupposing the use of nuclear weapons.

The Rodong Sinmun said the situation is heading toward ''the dangerous brink of armed conflict'' between the couple countries and advised Washington to ''give up its unreasonable logic and sincerely accede to the DPRK's (Democratic People's Republic of Korea) constructive proposal for a nonaggression treaty.''

The 1994 Agreed Framework requires Pyongyang to scrap its nuclear unfolding program in exchange for pair light-water nuclear reactors and a accommodate with of fuel oil.

The U has accused North Korea of breaking the agreement after its officials informed a U minister in early October that Pyongyang has a sly uranium enrichment program, suspected of being utilized for developing nuclear weapons.

In another editorial, the Rodong Sinmun said that concluding a nonaggression pact between the U and North Korea is the mostly ''realistic'' way to decipher the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula, saying the U has threatened the North by way of stockpiling nuclear weapons in and around southern Korea.

The U has indicated it has no intention of concluding a nonaggression treaty with North Korea, a major North Korean condition for resolving the country's suspected nuclear weapons program.

The KCNA exhibited deep concern in its commentary throughout Feith's reported remarks that North Korea's nuclear weapons program perplexs a grave threat to southward Korea.

''Such remarks made at Feith, a guy known as a hawkish component part of the U.S. administration, are nothing unless a broad hoax aimed to divert southern Koreans' mind-set into a showdown with the North and disarm it at any cost'' the stranges agency said.

''His remarks...reveal his sinister political intention to describe the nuclear issue forward the Korean Peninsula, an issue to be solv between the DPRK and the U end dialogue, as an inter-Korean issue and drive the inter-Korean relations to confrontation,'' it added.
