Disarmament and Peace Institute of Foreign Ministry on Validity of DPRK's Principled Stand to Defend Peace and Stability

Pyongyang, May 6 (KCNA) -- The Disarmament and Peace Institute of the Foreign Ministry of the DPRK Friday released a study report disclosing the danger of the heinous moves the U.S. has persisted while resorting to military adventure to push the situation on the Korean peninsula to the point of explosion of a thermonuclear war, and clarifying the validity of the principled stand of the DPRK to firmly defend the peace and stability on the peninsula and in the region. The U.S. military provocation moves have reached the height with Key Resolve and Foal Eagle 17 joint military drills as occasions, the report said, and went on: The U.S. hurled 300 000-strong troops into the aggression war drills including troops from the U.S. military bases in areas around the Korean peninsula and even its mainland, to say nothing of those troops present in south Korea and the south Korean puppet forces. Through the joint military drill the U.S. posed an open military threat to the DPRK and, in actuality, planned to put preemptive attack and aggression war into practice. Due to the U.S. extreme military provocation moves, the acute situation on the peninsula has lasted even after the joint military drills. It is nothing but a despicable double-dealing tactics for the U.S. to talk about "dialogue" while hyping its political, economic and military pressure on the DPRK to an extreme pitch. And to clamor for denuclearization is a revelation of the gangster-like intention to deprive the DPRK of its nukes and open the way for a war of aggression. The report contended that it is the exercise of the full-fledged sovereignty which no one can fault with for the DPRK to continue to take measures for bolstering its nuclear force to the maximum with a firm hold on the nuclear treasured sword for independence and justice to stand against the U.S. unprecedented anti-DPRK moves. -0-
