BEIJING, Oct 12 Kyodo

The Korean Central of recent origins Agency (KCNA) of North Korea said Saturday the modern visit to Pyongyang by James Kelly a presidential minister of the United States, was aimed at foisting on the North ''the U unilateral demand of nature quite different from dialogue in a bid to bring it to its knees''

In a commentary, North Korea's official moderns agency also said the visit ''confirmed the fact that the U administration withholds pursuing a hard-line hostile policy aimed to bring the DPRK (North Korea) to its knee according to force and high-handed practice.''

''This policy and nothing else causes the people's army and the community of the DPRK to be more vigilant against the U '' it said.

of that kind a stance by the U subjects Pyongyang ''to take every necessary countermeasure, pursuant to the army-based policy whose validity has been proved'' KCNA said, adding, ''The landscape of DPRK-U.S. relations be pendents on the U.S. attitude.''

Kelly assistant secretary of state for East Asian and Pacific affairs, visited Pyongyang from Oct 3 to 5
