North Korea cries another day about DAD

05-Jan-2003 • Die Another Day

North Korea is again slamming "Die Another Day", saying Sunday it proved the United States` hostile intentions toward a country Washington believes is building nuclear weapons.

Quoting a little-known group called the Solidarity of Youth and Students for Implementing the June 15 South-North Joint Declaration, it said the film was an insult.

"The film represents the real intention of the U.S. keen on war as it considers the North as part of an "axis of evil," fans up division and confrontation between the South and the North and insults and makes mockery of the Korean nation," the North`s KCNA news agency quoted the group as saying in a statement.

"If the U.S. continues showing the movie despising the Korean nation, all the people will turn out in a fiercer anti-U.S. struggle."

June 15 refers to a 2000 summit between North Korean leader Kim Jong-il and South Korean President Kim Dae-jung in which they vowed to work toward reunification and end half a century of hostility.
