U.S. Should Drop Its Policy Hostile to DPRK: African Personage

Pyongyang, July 25 (KCNA) -- The U.S. should roll back its anachronistic policy hostile to the DPRK unconditionally and refrain at once from escalating tensions on the Korean peninsula. Andre Lohekele Kalonda, secretary general of the African Regional Committee for the Study of the Juche Idea, said this in a statement on July 18. The statement went on: Peace has not yet settled on the Korean peninsula due to the U.S. policy hostile to the DPRK. The U.S. has ceaselessly threatened the security of the DPRK by staging joint military drills every year in league with south Korea. Followers of the Juche idea, together with the world peace-loving people, denounce the U.S. hostile policy aimed to suffocate socialist Korea. The basic key to settling the issue on the peninsula is for the U.S. to drop its anachronistic policy hostile to the DPRK and conclude a peace treaty with it. To this end, the U.S. should withdraw its nuclear weapons from south Korea, first of all. It should also give up its risky and extremely hegemonic policy threatening peace and security on the Korean peninsula and in the rest of Asia, being manifested in the nonstop introduction of nuclear strategic assets into south Korea and deployment of THAAD there. -0-
