Collective Blockade Should Be Dropped

KCNA

Pyongyang, September 2 (KCNA) -- The Taiwan authorities acting on a false tip and pressure of the United States, some time ago, forced an investigation of the DPRK trade ship Pegaebong which entered their port with legal trade cargo according to a normal shipping contract and confiscated freights on the ship. In this regard Minju Joson today in a signed commentary says:

The collective blockade of the DPRK designed by the U.S. and put into practice by some of its followers is an anachronistic crime wantonly trampling upon the UN Charter and international law.

The U.S. and its followers must know that the forcible investigation of ships of the DPRK and confiscation of their freights are a grave infringement on the sovereignty of the DPRK Nevertheless, the U.S. demands this be done to DPRK ships on a normal voyage by providing false information and putting pressure and countries following its lead commit blind acts. These are an open infringement on the sovereignty of the DPRK. We will make them fully pay for this.

The U.S. moves to stifle the DPRK with blockade is a foolish daydream that stands no chance of coming true. The DPRK has remained firm and unshaken in the ceaseless blockade by the U.S. over the past decades and it will continue to advance in the future.

The U.S.-orchestrated collective blockade aimed to isolate and stifle the DPRK only discloses their ugly colors as violators of the UN Charter and international law.

The U.S. and its followers should clearly see the trend of the times and drop their anachronistic moves of collective blockade at once.
