PYONGYANG, May 2 (NNN-KCNA) – The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), warned today that, the United States “will face worse and worse crisis,” after U.S. President, Joe Biden, called the DPRK’s nuclear programme a “serious threat.”
Kwon Jong Gun, director general of the Department of U.S. Affairs of the Foreign Ministry, said, the U.S. president made a slip of the tongue last week, about the DPRK in his first Congressional speech, in which he called Pyongyang, a “serious threat” to the security of the U.S. and the world. “His statement clearly reflects his intent to keep enforcing hostile policy towards the DPRK, as had been done by the U.S. for over half a century.”
“The U.S. will face worse and worse crisis beyond control, in the near future, if it is set to approach the DPRK-U.S. ties, still holding on to the outdated policy from Cold War-minded perspective and viewpoint.
“Now that the keynote of the U.S. new DPRK policy has become clear, we will be compelled to press for corresponding measures, and with time, the U.S. will find itself in a very grave situation,” he said.
Kwon also said, the U.S.-claimed “diplomacy” is a spurious signboard for covering up its hostile acts, and the “deterrence” touted by it “is just a means for posing nuclear threats” to the DPRK.
In a separate statement issued today, the DPRK foreign ministry also slammed Washington for criticising the DPRK’s human rights record, saying, it amounts to insulting the “dignity of our supreme leadership.”
Last week, U.S. State Department Spokesperson, Ned Price, released a press statement in which he “smeared the statewide anti-pandemic measures in the DPRK” for protecting the life and security of the people from the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic as, “human rights abuses” and “even faulted the dignity of our supreme leadership,” the statement said.
As the U.S. openly expressed its intention to stifle the DPRK with a “resolute deterrence,” “denying our ideology and social system and abusing ‘human rights’ as a tool for interference in our internal affairs and a political weapon for overturning our social system, we will be forced to take corresponding measures,” it added.– NNN-KCNA
