By This is a predictable election tactic:
North Korea will likely boycott multilateral talks on its nuclear disarmament if a conservative candidate wins the December presidential election, former Prime Minister Lee Hae-chan said Sunday.
Lee, now vying for the nomination of the pro-government United New Democratic Party, predicted North Korea will wait and see if a conservative administration would change its inter-Korean policy from the current liberal engagement approach. [Yonhap]
Lee Hae-chan might as well just say, "Vote for me because I will give Comrade Kim Jong-il everything he wants and then some, so we can keep the myth of progress alive."
Kim Jong-il is only going to boycott the nuclear talks if who ever is elected does not give him the free stuff he wants with little to no reciprocity in return.
