What was the aim of NK's yesterday's (likely) nuclear test?

According to the SK semi-official news agency Yonhap a NK gov't official said that the main aim was to push the world, especially the US to start talks with the DPRK.

Now instead to talk WITH the DPRK the world is talking ABOUT the DPRK and its "Dear Leader"(DL) Kim Jong-il. And the world is talking not positively about it, not really..

I really would like to know what NK diplomats/employees of DPRK's embassies, for example in Germany, are thinking about their leadership - especially the DL - in the home country when they had to see the today's front pages of many newspapers..
