The efforts by the DPRK to remove the U.S. nuclear threat

The DPRK, the security of which has been exposed to serious danger posed by the constant U.S. nuclear threat, has taken every possible measure and made every possible effort to prevent the U.S. nuclear threat.

We took the initiative of creating the Asia Peace Zone in 1959, and made a proposal of creating the Nuclear-Free Zone in Northeast Asia in 1981, and the proposal of creating the Nuclear-Free Zone on the Korean peninsula in 1986.

We declared at home and abroad in July 1991 that we were fully prepared to take all the necessary measures to turn the Korean peninsula into the nuclear-free zone, and directed our positive and sincere efforts for the implementation of “Joint Statement on the Denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula” adopted between the north and south in January 1992.

For the purpose of removing the daily increasing U.S. nuclear threat, we had direct dialogues with the U.S., participated in the tripartite conference and even made a courageous decision of accepting the U.S. proposal to hold the 6 party talks.

We had acceded to the “The Treaty on the non-proliferation of Nuclear Weapons” (NPT), underwent the inspection by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), held the talks on denuclearization in bilateral and multilateral negotiations and discussed the issue of denuclearization and the conclusion of peace agreement comprehensively at the same time.

However, nothing was solved in the end.

Our efforts through dialogue and the attempts relying on the international laws and organizations all ended in a failure. Nothing and no one could stop the U.S. nuclear threat towards us.

The only and last choice left was to counter the nuclear weapons with nuclear weapons.

Accordingly, the DPRK took the resolute and self-defensive measure of completely quitting the NPT on January 10, 2003 by effecting the force that had been suspended for 10 years, and proceeded to the legitimate road of manufacturing the nuclear weapons and conducting the nuclear 6 test without any restrictions from the treaty.

As a result, the unbalanced status of nuclear weapons was redressed in the Northeast Asia where only the DPRK remained blank space in the terms of nuclear weapons and nuclear umbrella.

The 2013 March Plenary Meeting of Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea put forward the new line of simultaneously and ceaselessly developing the national self-defence capabilities with nuclear weapons as backbone.

Hence, today, the DPRK has become the full-fledged power possessing hydrogen bomb by concentrating its efforts on the building of nuclear weapons and realized the miniaturization and standardization of nuclear warheads mountable on a ballistic rocket.

We successfully developed the re-entry technology of ballistic rockets by dint of self-reliance which is of great significance in developing the ballistic rocket technology, dynamically pushed forward the diversification of means of delivering nuclear warheads and now we have embarked on the new higher stage of getting ready to make nuclear strikes against the enemies from anywhere on the ground, in the air, at sea and underwater.
