Nigerian Body Urges U.S. to Roll Back Hostile Policy towards DPRK

Pyongyang, August 3 (KCNA) -- The Nigerian National Committee for the Study of Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism posted an article on its website on July 29 to urge the U.S. to roll back its hostile policy towards the DPRK. Some days ago, U.S. Secretary of State Kerry said at the ministerial meeting of the ASEAN Regional Forum held in Laos that the U.S. had no hostile intent against north Korea, the article noted, and continued: Then, why is it resorting to reckless saber-rattling, openly vociferating about "beheading operation" and "occupation of Pyongyang" after introducing all kinds of strategic assets into south Korea? Kerry's assertion that the joint military exercises have never posed problems and the DPRK-U.S. Agreed Framework was concluded with joint military exercises going on is also groundless. The true aim sought by the U.S. is to secure a pretext for its arms buildup and joint military exercises pursuant to its rebalancing strategy in Asia-Pacific for aggression, and dodge the neighboring countries' protest and criticism of its decision to deploy THAAD in south Korea as an immediate task. The U.S. should face up to the strategic position of the DPRK and the trend of the times and roll back its hostile policy towards the DPRK. -0-
