U.S. dastardly moves against DPRK assailed

KCNA

    Pyongyang, June 30 (KCNA) -- Under the coercion of the United States the tenth ministerial meeting of the ASEAN regional forum held in Phnom Penh recently adopted its "president's statement" containing the part referring to the Korean peninsula that reflected Washington's unilateral assertion only. The U.S. is keen to refer the nuclear issue on the Korean peninsula to the UNSC in a bid to have its president's statement adopted for increased pressure upon the DPRK. Rodong Sinmun Monday dismisses this as a wanton violation of the purpose of the forum and its principles adopted at the second ministerial meeting of the forum held in August 1995.
    The commentary goes on:
    The U.S. misused the forum for forcibly adopting the statement that reflects its unreasonable assertion calling for interference in the internal affairs of the DPRK and pressure upon it. This was prompted by its sinister intention to increase international pressure upon the DPRK.
    It is preposterous and unreasonable for the U.S. to try to bring the nuclear issue on the Korean peninsula up for discussion at the UNSC and force it to take stronger measures. This is a very insolent, provocative and dangerous move.
    The UN is by no means a body that should allow a big country to control and pressurize small countries to meet its interests and aim.
    The UN should not be misused to serve the purpose of the U.S. policy of pressurizing the DPRK.
    If the UNSC is to deal with the nuclear issue on the Korean peninsula, it should blame the U.S. for having spawned the issue and escalated the tensions on the principle of impartiality.
    It is none other than the U.S. which openly listed non-signatories to the NPT as targets of its preemptive nuclear attacks, unilaterally scrapped the DPRK-U.S. Agreed Framework and the DPRK-U.S. Joint Statement and wantonly violated the NPT and all other international agreements.
    The UNSC should strongly blame the U.S. for those criminal responsibilities.
    The U.S. intention to use the un as means of putting pressure upon the DPRK over its nuclear issue and secure a justification for provoking a new Korean war would only create an uncontrollable situation.
