DPRK FM Spokesman Slams U.S. CIA Director’s Remarks

A spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) gave the following answer to question put by KCNA on July 25, over the fact that the director of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) dared to talk about “removal of the supreme leadership” of the DPRK:

On July 20, the U.S. CIA Director Pompeo mentioned impertinently, at a security forum hosted by a civilian organization, about the “removal of the supreme leadership” of the DPRK, saying that what is most dangerous about the north Korean nuclear issue is the character who holds the control over the nuclear weapons and that the intelligence community and the Department of Defence are figuring out the way to separate the weapons from someone who might well have intent to use them.

Although his reckless remarks are just balderdash of a guy who has become so angrily desperate due to the ever-increasing nuclear strike capability of the DPRK, they have gone over the line, and it has now become clear that the ultimate aim of the Trump administration’s hostile policy towards the DPRK is the “regime change” in the DPRK.

That the person who is supposed to be in charge of all foreign intelligence in the U.S., harbours an illusion that it could separate our army and people from our supreme leadership is an expression of his illiteracy about the DPRK and an explicit illustration of incompetence of the U.S. intelligence community.

The successive U.S. administrations could not but fail in the DPRK-U.S. confrontation. That is also attributable to the “merits” of such stupid intelligence community of the U.S.

Our army and people have never thought about their destiny and future separated from their supreme leadership.

The first and foremost mission of our revolutionary armed forces with the nuclear force as their backbone is to defend the leader at the cost of their lives.

The DPRK legally stipulates that if the supreme dignity of the DPRK is threatened, it must pre-emptively annihilate those countries and entities that are directly or indirectly involved in it, by mobilizing all kinds of strike means including the nuclear ones.

We will find out and smash all those who intend to do something against our supreme leadership, wherever they are. This is an immutable and indomitable will of the army and people of the DPRK.

We once again felt deep in our hearts from the reckless remarks of the CIA director how just it was that we have achieved the great historic cause of completing the nuclear force by overcoming all difficulties and trials.

Should the U.S. dare to show even the slightest sign of attempt to remove our supreme leadership, we will strike a merciless blow at the heart of the U.S. with our powerful nuclear hammer, honed and hardened over time.

The likes of Pompeo will bitterly experience the catastrophic and miserable consequences caused by having dared to shake their little fists at the supreme leadership, our eternal sun and everything of life for our nation.

Kim Jong Un Issues Order for 2nd Test-fire of ICBM Hwasong-14

 Kim Jong Un Issues Order for 2nd Test-fire of ICBM Hwasong-14

Respected Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un signed the order to carry out the second test-fire of intercontinental ballistic rocket Hwasong-14 on July 27, Juche 106 (2017).

Kim Jong Un Guides Second Test-fire of ICBM Hwasong-14

The second test-fire of ICBM Hwasong-14 was successfully carried out at night of July 28, Juche 106 (2017) under the supervision of Kim Jong Un, chairman of the Workers' Party of Korea, chairman of the State Affairs Commission of the DPRK and supreme commander of the Korean People's Army.

Kim Jong Un guided the test-fire on the spot.

He, who is always bringing about ceaseless miracles and victories, baffling imagination of the world people with his rare military wisdom, great guts and stratagem, set forth the militant task for the rocket research field to conduct another test-fire simulating the maximum range of Hwasong-14 at an early date to prove once again the reliability of the whole rocket-system.

The scientists and technicians in the field of defence industry, loyalists of the Party sharing the intention, breath and step with the leader with the absolute trust in it, rounded off earlier than scheduled the preparations for the second test-fire of Hwasong-14 through decisive campaign with confidence and will to fully demonstrate the powerful might of the strategic nuclear force of the WPK.

During the preparation period, respected Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un received report about the preparations and gave detailed instructions every day. At night of Friday he visited the rocket-launching site to guide the test-fire on the spot.

The test-launch was aimed to finally confirm the overall technological specifications of the weapon system of Hwasong-14 capable of carrying large-sized heavy nuclear warhead, including its maximum range.

By order of the Supreme Leader, the inter-continental ballistic rocket Hwasong-14 loaded with the tremendous might of heroic Korea roared into space, leaving a column of flames behind.

The rocket that blasted off from the north-western part of the DPRK reached an altitude of 3, 724.9km and flew 998km for 47 minutes and 12 seconds before landing in the target waters in the open sea.

The test-fire was carried out at the maximum angle launch system mocking the maximum range, and had no adverse effect on the security of the neighbouring countries.

The test also reconfirmed the specific features of the rocket system such as the rocket's separation from its launching pad, stage-separation, structural system, etc. which were confirmed at the first test-fire, and confirmed the performing features of motors whose number has increased to guarantee the maximum range in the active-flight stage as well as the accuracy and reliability of the improved guidance and stability system.

The attitude control features of heavy warhead in the middle flight stage after the separation of warhead were reconfirmed, and the accurate guidance and attitude control of warhead was ensured at the atmospheric re-entry at the angle launch system harsher than the actual maximum range flying conditions. The structural stability of warhead was maintained and the warhead explosion control device showed normal operation even at the thousands of degrees of Centigrade.

Expressing great satisfaction over the results of the test-fire of ICBM which proved to be a perfect and big success without an inch of error, Kim Jong Un highly praised the scientists, technicians and officials in the field of rocket research and gave them special thanks in the name of the Party Central Committee.

The test-fire reconfirmed the reliability of ICBM system, demonstrated the capability of making surprise launch of ICBM in any region and place any time, and clearly proved that the whole U.S. mainland is in the firing range of the DPRK missiles, he said with pride.

The maximum range simulation test-fire of ICBM conducted by the DPRK today is meant to send a grave warning to the U.S. making senseless remarks, being lost to reason, he said, adding this would make the policy-makers of the U.S. properly understand that the U.S., an aggression-minded state, would not go scot-free if it dares provoke the DPRK.

The U.S. trumpeting about war and extreme sanctions and threat against the DPRK only emboldens the latter and offers a better excuse for its access to nukes, he said, stressing: To the Korean people who experienced disastrous disturbances of war on this land by the beast-like U.S. imperialists, the powerful war deterrence for defending the state is an inevitable strategic option and it is a precious strategic asset that cannot be bartered for anything.

If the Yankees brandish the nuclear stick on this land again despite our repeated warnings, we will clearly teach them manners with the nuclear strategic force which we had shown them one by one, he emphasized.

Kim Jong Un warmly congratulated the scientists and technicians in the field of rocket research who demonstrated once again the independent prestige and dignity of Juche nuclear power, the world-level rocket power by succeeding in the second test-launch of ICBM Hwasong-14. He, taking them in his arms, had a photo session with them which will go down in history.

The DPRK, advancing along the new line of the great Workers' Party of Korea on simultaneously building up the economy and defence, will develop much more the most powerful strategic weapons, Juche weapons which will display the invincible might of Juche Korea and its inexhaustible potentiality of development to the world until the U.S. and its vassal forces trying to undermine the DPRK's dignity and its right to existence are eliminated, and will achieve the final victory in the showdown with the imperialists and the U.S. without fail.

Accompanying him were Ri Pyong Chol, Kim Rak Gyom, Kim Jong Sik, Jang Chang Ha, Jon Il Ho, Yu Jin and Jo Yong Won.

FM Spokesman Slams Remarks of Special Rapporteur of UNHRC

A spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the DPRK gave the following answer to the question raised by KCNA on July 28 as regards the fact that recently, the special rapporteur of the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) on the situation of human rights in Myanmar criticized the Myanmar government in unison with the U.S.

Recently, the UNHRC special rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Myanmar is tightening pressure upon it, aligning herself with the sanctions and pressure racket of the U.S. against Myanmar while politicizing “the human rights issue” of the Rohingya, the inhabitants of Rakhine state.

At a press conference held on July 21 after her visit to Myanmar, she sharply criticized the human rights situation of Rohingya, far from the reality without mentioning a single word about positive measures taken by the Myanmar government.

Her criticism came around the same time the U.S. representative to UN made an open interference in the internal affairs of Myanmar on July 11 by saying that the incidents happening in Myanmar cannot be overlooked and that the Myanmar government should receive the investigation team of UNHRC and therefore, is triggering the due backlash from the Myanmar government.

Her remarks betray that she is following the U.S. in its schemes to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries under the pretext of “human rights protection”, in violation of the principles of impartiality and non-interference in the internal affairs to be kept to in addressing human rights issues.

This is another clear example which shows that the mechanism of special rapporteurs on human rights situation of individual countries, which makes it as its business to interfere in internal affairs of specific countries under the direction of the U.S., does only harm and that the international human rights organizations are kowtowing to the U.S. and playing the role as its puppets.

The international human rights organizations should not collaborate with the malicious moves of the U.S. to put pressure on independent countries under the cloak of “human rights judge”, but exert every effort to respect the sovereignty and interests of sovereign states and to realize genuine international justice.[2]

The DPRK government categorically rejects the interference of international human rights organizations including the UNHRC in internal affairs of sovereign states and will actively support and encourage the just cause of the government and people of Myanmar in building a peaceful and democratic federal state.

S. Koreans' Struggle against U.S. Supported

A spokesman of the Nationwide Special Committee for Probing the Truth behind the GIs' Crimes issued a statement Thursday as regards the anti-U.S. struggle mounting among south Koreans of all social standings with the lapse of 51 years since the fabrication of south Korea-U.S. "Status of Forces Agreement" (SOFA).

The unrelenting anti-U.S. struggle waged by civic organizations and people from all walks of life in south Korea is an eruption of the pent-up wrath and grudge of the south Koreans against the U.S. imperialist aggressors who have committed murder, plunder and all other sorts of crimes in south Korea for the past more than five decades under the plea of the SOFA, the statement said, and went on:

It is shame on the nation that there exists such traitorous agreement as SOFA which makes foreign aggression forces an inviolable being in the present era of independence.

Today when pro-U.S. traitor Park Geun Hye faced ruin by the people, it has become an urgent demand of south Koreans that brooks no further delay to scrap the shackling agreement.

But the present south Korean authorities scheme to keep the U.S. imperialist aggression forces in south Korea on a permanent basis while touting "tightened alliance" just as the past "governments".

They should be mindful that they will face the same miserable fate as traitor Park, a top-class servant for the U.S., if they go reckless to find a way-out in sycophancy toward the U.S. and confrontation with the fellow countrymen while serving the U.S. imperialist aggression forces, the chieftain of national division and root cause of all misfortune and pain, as their savoir. 

CCNR Supports S. Koreans Struggle for Dissolving Pro-U.S. Conservative Party

A spokesman for the Consultative Council for National Reconciliation (CCNR) released a statement on Monday over the brisk mass campaign in south Korea for dissolving the "Liberal Korea Party", a pro-U.S. conservative party and leftover from the "yusin" fascist dictatorship.

South Koreans of various circles including workers, peasants, youths, students and even housewives have turned out in actions, demanding the immediate dissolution of the "Liberal Korea Party", a pack of pro-U.S., pro-Japanese lackeys and traitors bringing the danger of war through hideous confrontation with the compatriots in the north, the statement said, and went on:

The campaign has rapidly spilled over into even areas of Kyongsang Province and Taegu called fortress of conservatives.

The campaign is just a righteous struggle to achieve independence, justice and democracy without fail by sweeping away sycophancy toward the U.S., confrontation with compatriots in the north and fascist dictatorship, the source of trouble, misfortune and pain in the south Korean society.

The "Liberal Korea Party" is definitely a primary target on the list of evils that should be eliminated.

It is a disgrace to the nation that the coteries of the LKP made up of hideous confrontation maniacs and hooligans that should be sternly punished by the public like traitor Park Geun Hye are still going scot-free. It is the mindset of the angry public not to allow them to go with impunity any longer.

Neither true national reconciliation, unity and reunification nor independence and democracy of the south Korean society are possible as long as the ultra-right conservative remnants including the "Liberal Korea Party", hell-bent on confrontation with the compatriots in the north, fascist dictatorship and sycophancy to the U.S., are allowed to be at large. 

U.S. Warned against Military Gambling against DPRK

A spokesman for the Korea Asia-Pacific Peace Committee in a statement Friday said the U.S. is further resorting to military gambling, losing control of itself, taken aback by the invincible state might and tremendous capabilities of the DPRK.

The U.S. Defence Department is loudly trumpeting about military attack option which it claimed worked out at the instructions of Trump on drafting various countermeasure programs to cope with the "north's provocation".

Dumbfounded by the DPRK's successful ICBM test-fire, the U.S. is holding combined ballistic missile demonstration together with the south Korean warmongers, rendering the situation tenser.

This proves that the Trump administration's claim that it would "not invade but ensure system" is a whopping lie and it is just a trick to cover up its sinister intention to put its war ambition into practice through a surprise attack, the statement says.

Such provocative and dangerous military act shows that the Trump administration's hostile policy toward the DPRK has reached the extremely reckless phase, it notes, and goes on:

The U.S. should clearly understand that its military attack option is an extremely foolish act of fastening its neck with noose.

It should know that the DPRK has its own-style powerful military option, the one for reducing the U.S. mainland to ashes, to cope with the U.S. military attack option for containing the DPRK by force.

The south Korean authorities can never go scot-free, either, once a war breaks out as they are keen on concealing the U.S. pre-emptive attack attempt with such words as "dialogue" and "leading role".

The reckless military attack on the DPRK will be the worst option of accelerating the end of the U.S. and its stooges. 

GFTUK Supports S. Korean Workers' Just Struggle

A spokesman for the General Federation of Trade Unions of Korea released a statement on Thursday as regards the general strike getting stronger recently among south Korean workers urging the regime to ensure the right to labour and eliminate conservative evils.

The struggle, launched late in June, has spilled over into the strikes of workers in various sectors, the statement said, and went on:

On June 30, more than 60 000 workers affiliated to the south Korean Confederation of Trade Unions gathered in Seoul and held a rally for launching a general strike. People from all walks of life including teachers demanding the legitimization of the teachers union, youth and students and peasants are proactively joining the struggle.

They are expressing their fixed will to carry on their struggle until the part-time jobs are replaced with full-time jobs, minimum wages are hiked and the unpopular labor policy is retracted, strongly urging the regime to do so.

The on-going general strike of south Korean workers is a just struggle to bring about a new world of workers by eliminating all evils left by the Park Geun Hye regime of traitors which mercilessly trampled down the elementary right to labour and right to existence of workers by persisting in misrule during its tenure.

The Central Committee of the General Federation of Trade Unions of Korea extends full support and strong solidarity to the south Korean workers in their all-out struggle for getting rid of all evils against people and gaining their basic rights to labour and existence.

The south Korean public resolutely punished the conservative group of traitors but such evils as inveterate sycophancy toward the U.S., idea of confrontation with the compatriots in the north and fascist dictatorship are still harassing the development of the south Korean society.

The situation clearly shows that guarantee of the right to labour doesn't come by itself despite the regime change in south Korea but the genuine rights to existence of its workers can be ensured only when independence and democracy are realized throughout its society.

To completely liquidate the unpopular evils of the former conservative regime is the unanimous demand of the candlelight demonstrators in south Korea and the workers should do their bit by steering the advance of the era and history.

FM Spokesman on UNSC "Resolution on Sanctions"

The spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) gave the following answer to the question raised by the KCNA on July 14 as regards the fact that the U.S. is attempting to rig up another "sanctions resolution" against the DPRK, branding its successful test-fire of the intercontinental ballistic rocket Hwasong-14 as a "global threat":

The U.S., flabbergasted at the DPRK's success in the test-fire of the intercontinental ballistic rocket Hwasong-14, is making frenzied moves at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to fabricate another "resolution on sanctions" tougher than ever against the DPRK.

Right after the emergency meeting of the UNSC, the U.S. began letting out a stream of invectives every day against the DPRK's test-fire while making frantic efforts together with its vassal forces to produce a "press statement" in order to create the atmosphere of sanctions against the DPRK. At the same time, the U.S. is causing a lot of racket circulating the draft of a new "resolution on sanctions" at the UNSC and prattling that it would to put it to the "vote" without any compromise.

The racket of anti-DPRK "sanctions resolutions" being made by the U.S. is the manifestation of the heinous intention to evade the responsibility for having driven the DPRK to bolster its nuclear force by pursuing the policy of extreme hostility and nuclear threat against the latter and obliterate its sovereignty and right to existence.

The DPRK's test-fire of the intercontinental ballistic rocket is an exercise of its legitimate right to self-defence to thoroughly eradicate the over half a century long nuclear threat from the U.S. against the DPRK and reliably defend peace and stability of the Korean peninsula and the region at large.

The resounding success of the test-fire of the intercontinental ballistic rocket Hwasong-14 has fully demonstrated the will and capability of the DPRK to annihilate the U.S. by a single blow to the very heart of its mainland in case it fails to act with discretion.

It is time for the U.S. to renew its perspective on the DPRK's strategic position which has reached the dazzling heights, and to act with prudence. However, it is inviting its ultimate doom by resorting to the sanctions and pressure campaign against the DPRK.

It will be a fatal mistake to consider any chance that the DPRK which rose to a dignified nuclear power and an ICBM state would tolerate the reckless "sanctions" racket of the U.S. and other hostile forces.

Should the UNSC adopt another "resolution on sanctions", this will trigger corresponding measures by the DPRK and respond to the "resolution" with its act of justice.

U.S. Troops in S. Korea Can Never Escape Strikes by KPA's Long-range Artillery: Panmunjom Mission

A spokesman for the Panmunjom Mission of the Korean People's Army (KPA) released a statement on Friday over the recent desperate and undisguised moves of the U.S. to provoke a nuclear war against the DPRK and perpetuate its forces' presence in south Korea.

The statement said:

On Tuesday the U.S. imperialist aggressor forces, which moved the Command of their 8th Army present in south Korea to Humphrey Base in Phyongthaek of Kyonggi Province, invited bosses of the south Korean puppet government and military and even human scum including ultra-right conservatives to an "opening ceremony of the new building" of the Command.

The commander of the 8th Army in his "welcoming speech" praised the south Korean lackeys, terming the move an "event demonstrating the solid south Korea-U.S. alliance" and allowing journalists to look round the interior of the base.

As far as the transfer of the U.S. 8th Army Command to Phyongthaek is concerned, the U.S. has pushed ahead with it in collusion with the puppet regime since 2003 in order to move its aggressor forces bases in south Korea to the areas south of the River Han to get rid of the striking range of the KPA's long-range artillery strike.

Lurking behind it is the ulterior design of the U.S. to save its troops only, indifferent to the plight of the south Korean puppet army at stake.

The U.S. imperialists are busy hyping the transfer of their 8th Army Command, the shock brigade that will play a flagship role in igniting a war against the DPRK. This fully revealed the U.S. scenario to perpetuate its military presence in south Korea and stand in confrontation with the DPRK to the end in league with the south Korean puppet warmongers.

The U.S. regards the Korean peninsula as a vantage point of strategic importance where the strength of maritime forces and the strength of land forces are interchanging. It is the century-old Asia policy of the U.S. to occupy the whole peninsula with south Korea as its springboard and thus realize its wild ambition for dominating the world.

It is a tragedy of the U.S. that it is unaware of the tremendous might of the army of the DPRK.

The bases of the U.S. imperialist aggressors in south Korea, the primary targets of the KPA, can never escape the mercilessly annihilating strikes by its long-range artillery, no matter whether they are located in Phyongthaek or in Pusan.

The U.S. imperialist warmongers will never escape the miserable destruction if they persist in foolhardy military confrontation moves in south Korea despite the warnings of the KPA.

RESPECTED Kim Jong Un Has Photo Session with Contributors to Successful ICBM Test-fire

Respected Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un had a photo session with those who contributed to the successful test-fire of inter-continental ballistic rocket Hwasong-14.

As he arrived at the venue of photo session, the participants enthusiastically welcomed him.

He again highly appreciated the heroic feats of the scientists, technicians, workers and officials in the field of national defence industry who displayed the independent dignity of Juche Korea and the indomitable spirit of its strong people and devotedly safeguarded the absolute authority of the Workers' Party of Korea.

He expressed the hope and conviction that those in the field of national defence science would develop and round off the strongest strategic weapons, Juche weapons, in larger quantity more quickly on a higher level and thus fulfil their honourable duty as standard-bearers and pace-setters who take the lead in carrying out the Party's strategic plan for building a nuclear power. He then had a photo session with them.

Present there were Ri Man Gon and Ri Pyong Chol.

GFTUK Supports S. Korean Workers' Just Struggle

A spokesman for the General Federation of Trade Unions of Korea released a statement on Thursday as regards the general strike getting stronger recently among south Korean workers urging the regime to ensure the right to labour and eliminate conservative evils.

The struggle, launched late in June, has spilled over into the strikes of workers in various sectors, the statement said, and went on:

On June 30, more than 60 000 workers affiliated to the south Korean Confederation of Trade Unions gathered in Seoul and held a rally for launching a general strike. People from all walks of life including teachers demanding the legitimization of the teachers union, youth and students and peasants are proactively joining the struggle.

They are expressing their fixed will to carry on their struggle until the part-time jobs are replaced with full-time jobs, minimum wages are hiked and the unpopular labor policy is retracted, strongly urging the regime to do so.

The on-going general strike of south Korean workers is a just struggle to bring about a new world of workers by eliminating all evils left by the Park Geun Hye regime of traitors which mercilessly trampled down the elementary right to labor and right to existence of workers by persisting in misrule during its tenure.

The Central Committee of the General Federation of Trade Unions of Korea extends full support and strong solidarity to the south Korean workers in their all-out struggle for getting rid of all evils against people and gaining their basic rights to labor and existence.

The south Korean public resolutely punished the conservative group of traitors but such evils as inveterate sycophancy toward the U.S., idea of confrontation with the compatriots in the north and fascist dictatorship are still harassing the development of the south Korean society.

The situation clearly shows that guarantee of the right to labor doesn't come by itself despite the regime change in south Korea but the genuine rights to existence of its workers can be ensured only when independence and democracy are realized throughout its society.

To completely liquidate the unpopular evils of the former conservative regime is the unanimous demand of the candlelight demonstrators in south Korea and the workers should do their bit by steering the advance of the era and history.

U.S. Warned against Military Gambling against DPRK

A spokesman for the Korea Asia-Pacific Peace Committee in a statement Friday said the U.S. is further resorting to military gambling, losing control of itself, taken aback by the invincible state might and tremendous capabilities of the DPRK.

The U.S. Defence Department is loudly trumpeting about military attack option which it claimed worked out at the instructions of Trump on drafting various countermeasure programs to cope with the "north's provocation".

Dumbfounded by the DPRK's successful ICBM test-fire, the U.S. is holding combined ballistic missile demonstration together with the south Korean warmongers, rendering the situation tenser.

This proves that the Trump administration's claim that it would "not invade but ensure system" is a whopping lie and it is just a trick to cover up its sinister intention to put its war ambition into practice through a surprise attack, the statement says.

Such provocative and dangerous military act shows that the Trump administration's hostile policy toward the DPRK has reached the extremely reckless phase, it notes, and goes on:

The U.S. should clearly understand that its military attack option is an extremely foolish act of fastening its neck with noose.

It should know that the DPRK has its own-style powerful military option, the one for reducing the U.S. mainland to ashes, to cope with the U.S. military attack option for containing the DPRK by force.

The south Korean authorities can never go scot-free, either, once a war breaks out as they are keen on concealing the U.S. pre-emptive attack attempt with such words as "dialogue" and "leading role".

The reckless military attack on the DPRK will be the worst option of accelerating the end of the U.S. and its stooges. 

CCNR Supports S. Koreans Struggle for Dissolving Pro-U.S. Conservative Party

A spokesman for the Consultative Council for National Reconciliation (CCNR) released a statement on Monday over the brisk mass campaign in south Korea for dissolving the "Liberal Korea Party", a pro-U.S. conservative party and leftover from the "yusin" fascist dictatorship.

South Koreans of various circles including workers, peasants, youths, students and even housewives have turned out in actions, demanding the immediate dissolution of the "Liberal Korea Party", a pack of pro-U.S., pro-Japanese lackeys and traitors bringing the danger of war through hideous confrontation with the compatriots in the north, the statement said, and went on:

The campaign has rapidly spilled over into even areas of Kyongsang Province and Taegu called fortress of conservatives.

The campaign is just a righteous struggle to achieve independence, justice and democracy without fail by sweeping away sycophancy toward the U.S., confrontation with compatriots in the north and fascist dictatorship, the source of trouble, misfortune and pain in the south Korean society.

The "Liberal Korea Party" is definitely a primary target on the list of evils that should be eliminated.

It is a disgrace to the nation that the coteries of the LKP made up of hideous confrontation maniacs and hooligans that should be sternly punished by the public like traitor Park Geun Hye are still going scot-free. It is the mindset of the angry public not to allow them to go with impunity any longer.

Neither true national reconciliation, unity and reunification nor independence and democracy of the south Korean society are possible as long as the ultra-right conservative remnants including the "Liberal Korea Party", hell-bent on confrontation with the compatriots in the north, fascist dictatorship and sycophancy to the U.S., are allowed to be at large.  

Statement of DPRK Foreign Ministry Spokesman

A spokesman for the DPRK Ministry of Foreign Affairs Friday released a statement as regards the fact that the U.S. is pulling up the DPRK over the successful test-fire of intercontinental ballistic rocket Hwasong-14. The statement said:

On July 4, the DPRK successfully carried out the test-fire of inter-continental ballistic rocket Hwasong-14 which stands for the final gate to completing the state nuclear force.

The success in the test-fire of Hwasong-14 at just one go is a brilliant victory achieved by the army and people of the DPRK in their more than half-a-century-long anti-imperialist, anti-U.S. showdown and a heroic deed that provided a reliable guarantee of peace and stability of the Korean peninsula and the region.

However, the U.S. is condemning the DPRK’s test-fire as a “global threat” and is scheming to increase the international sanctions and pressure on the country to the top notch.

The DPRK makes it clear once again that its development of inter-continental ballistic rocket is an option taken to defend itself by completely terminating the hostile policy and nuclear war threat of the U.S. which have lasted for decades over the century.

There are several nuclear weapons states in the world today, but the U.S. is the one and only country that makes it its daily business to impose constant nuclear threat upon the DPRK.

The issue of the DPRK’s nukes and ballistic rocket is an issue confined to the DPRK and the U.S., and the test-fire of the inter-continental ballistic rocket conducted by the DPRK this time is a “gift package” addressed to none other than the U.S.

No other ICBM states had been more transparent than the DPRK in the development and test-fire of inter-continental ballistic rocket.

The DPRK officially announced that it would commence the development of inter-continental ballistic rocket as it was the inevitable choice for the country to cope with ever-increasing nuclear threat from the U.S. and opened to public the entire process of combustion test and static firing test of the engine and the actual test-fire of the rocket, and even sensitive information such as tactical and technical data and specifications.

That is because the DPRK’s inter-continental ballistic rocket is an unquestionable nuclear war deterrent which is fundamentally different from the military equipment for aggressive war developed in strict confidence by the U.S. with the wild ambition to dominate the world by means of surprise attack on other nations.

Nevertheless, the U.S. is branding the DPRK’s legitimate and righteous measure for self-defence as a “global threat” and calling for “global action” against it.

This is an explicit illustration of Trump’s “America First Policy” that seeks its own interests by sacrificing others.

The mugger’s mentality that tries to engage the entire world in opposing a sovereign state for the reason that the state incurred its displeasure will never find acceptance among any sensible people and independent countries.

The complete success in the test-fire of inter-continental ballistic rocket Hwasong-14 significantly enhanced the efficiency of the DPRK’s nuclear force as a war deterrent, thereby more reliably ensuring peace and security in and around the Korean peninsula.

Now that the DPRK’s capability to strike the very heart of the U.S. at any given time has been physically proved, the U.S. would find it more difficult to dare attack the DPRK.

Herein lays the world historical significance of the measures taken by the DPRK that has strengthened the powerful nuclear war deterrence in every dimension in pursuance of the new line of simultaneously developing the two fronts in the face of persistent pressure and sanctions by the hostile forces.

And this is the only way to defend oneself and safeguard the dignity of the nation in the present hostile world where the law of the jungle prevails.

It is high time the U.S. completely reoriented its strategic viewpoint on the DPRK, and it should give up its hostile policy against the latter and put a definite end to its nuclear threat and blackmail without further delay.

As has been declared by respected Supreme Leader Comrade Kim Jong Un, the DPRK will neither put its nukes and ballistic missiles on the negotiating table in any case nor flinch even an inch from the road of bolstering its nuclear force unless the hostile policy and nuclear threat of the U.S. against the DPRK are thoroughly eradicated.

The U.S. will receive more “gift packages” of different sizes from the DPRK in endless succession, as it tries harder to destroy, by means of sanctions and pressure, the overall national power and strategic position of the DPRK which have been drastically boosted.
