Anti-DPRK confab of U.S., Japan and S. Korea under fire

KCNA

    Pyongyang, June 17 (KCNA) -- The United States, Japan and South Korea were reported to have held a meeting of North Korean policy coordinating and monitoring group in Hawaii and made public a press statement on June 13. The statement threatened North Korea, urging it to refrain from aggravating the situation and underlining the need for the three-state coordination on the principle agreed upon at the recent summit talks of South Korea, U.S. and Japan if the situation gets worse.
    They were so ridiculous as to assert that the relations between the DPRK and the international community would depend on whether the former takes immediate verifiable measures to scrap its nuclear weapons program in a perfect and verifiable way or not, as if they had represented the international community.
    This only showed their trite stance of confrontation with the DPRK as they turned away from its just and realistic proposal for settling the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula.
    In view of the background against which the meeting took place and its proceedings and outcome it sought sinister aims to internationalize the DPRK's nuclear issue, a product of the U.S. hostile policy toward the DPRK, lay an international siege to it and escalate the moves to blockade it and justify them.
    The statement, referring to drug smuggling and counterfeiting of money, said that its participants discussed the issue of cooperating with each other and seeking ways of cooperating with other countries and international organizations to check them. This is part of the ever-more undisguised smear campaign launched by the U.S. and Japan against the DPRK over drug trade.
    All these disturbing developments clearly indicate what do the "further steps" and "stronger measures" peddled by South Korea and Japan under the manipulation of the bush administration really mean.
    They also confirm once again that the DPRK's Songun policy and its increased self-defensive physical deterrent force provide a decisive guarantee for protecting the sovereignty and stability of the country, averting a war on the Korean Peninsula and ensuring peace there.
