Los Angeles -- The world begins to marvel at the achievements of Korea-style diplomacy that makes what was supposed to be unimaginable for other countries come into reality, holding fast to the principles of "independence, peace and friendship" in its foreign policy.

The country"s diplomatic achievements have been presented in a signed article carried by Rodong Sinmun, organ paper of the ruling Workers" Party of Korea (WPK), on October 29. It says:

"The DPRK has opened its diplomatic ties with different countries of the world one after another in recent years.

"Even those countries which had kept aloof from the DPRK are now developing their relations with it on good terms."

Although the writer of the signed article did not mention, the world has been watching a thawing trend in the relations between the DPRK and the United States.

It would be what has been supposed to be unimaginable for other countries: The "independent" DPRK seems to be right on the track to succeed in transforming the "imperial" United States into its new partner.

Three days before the publication of the signed article mentioned above, Chinese media in chorus all over the country carried a lengthy article of "Internal Herald Leader" that paid attention to the achievements of the DPRK. Some examples among them are followings:

10/26/2007 See how Korea turns foe into friend, Xinhua
10/26/2007 Korea-style diplomacy surprises all: See how Korea turns foe into friend, embracing world, China News
10/26/2007 Let the world embrace Korea-style: See how Korea turns foe into friend, China Economic Net

I also marvel at how Chinese media put title on a same article as well.
