Pyongyang, January 16 (KCNA) -- Rallies supporting the statement of the DPRK Government on its withdrawal from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) were held in North Hamgyong, Kangwon, South Hwanghae and Ryanggang provinces from Jan. 14 to 15. Speakers at the rallies said that the statement of the DPRK Government on its withdrawal from the NPT represent the revolutionary determination of the Korean people and a legitimate self-defence measure to protect the supreme interests of the country, remaining undeterred by any pressure and threat and expressed full support to it.
The heroic Korean people will never allow the U.S. imperialists to wantonly infringe upon the dignity of the DPRK but emerge victorious in a decisive battle with them without fail, they noted, adding:
It is the invariable stand of the DPRK to reciprocate good faith and react to a hard line with the toughest stand.
The U.S. nuclear warmongers should properly understand the might of single-hearted unity of the DPRK more powerful than a nuclear weapon and stop at once their moves to stifle it.
Meanwhile, similar meetings of members of the union of agricultural workers of Korea and the Korean Democratic Women's Union were held on Jan. 15.
