Halt to military pressure upon DPRK urged
Pyongyang, January 28 (KCNA) -- The U.S. should promptly halt its military pressure upon the DPRK and conclude a non-aggression treaty with it as a positive response to the unanimous call of all the Koreans and the world public for a peaceful negotiated settlement of the nuclear crisis on the Korean Peninsula, said Jang Chol, Vice-Chairman of the DPRK Supreme People's Assembly, addressing an international parliamentary meeting in New Delhi on Jan. 24. He went on:The work for the prosperity of the country and the wellbeing of the people in the DPRK is hamstrung by the U.S. ceaseless moves for aggression, interference, isolation and blockade.
The present U.S. administration singled out the DPRK as part of an "axis of evil" and a target of its preemptive nuclear attack.
Recently it invented a new "nuclear suspicion" and adopted it as a national policy to destroy the DPRK system by force. The situation on the Korean Peninsula is daily deteriorating but the Korean people are fully confident and optimistic that they will build a powerful socialist nation and achieve the independent and peaceful reunification of the country without fail under the army-based revolutionary leadership of Kim Jong Il, united close around him.
He expressed the expectation that the parliaments in all countries including India would extend support and solidarity to the Korean people in their drive to build a powerful nation and achieve the independent and peaceful reunification of the country by the concerted efforts of the Korean nation.
