Swiss Bodies Back DPRK Self-defensive Steps

Pyongyang, August 19 (KCNA) -- The Swiss Preparatory Committee for Gathering 2017-Praise to the Great Persons of Mt Paektu, the Switzerland-Korea Committee and the Swiss Group for the Study of the Juche Idea made public a joint statement on Aug. 7 in support of the DPRK government statement. The statement said: The U.S. cooked up UNSC "sanctions resolution" 2371 over the ICBM test-launch by the DPRK. The "resolution" is aimed to completely prevent the economic development and the improvement of the people's standard of living in the DPRK. This is a hideous unethical crime invented by the U.S. imperialists. The nuclear test and rocket test-launch by the DPRK are a very just action to defend the sovereignty. The U.S. will have to pay dearly by the DPRK's decisive counter-measures against the shameless aggressors. We fully support all steps of the DPRK for self-defence. The adoption of "sanctions resolution" 2371 is for mass slaughter. Punish the U.S. imperialists and their vassal forces! Those countries, which got "thanks" from the U.S., should feel shame. -0-
