All Koreans called upon to protect their sovereignty and security
Pyongyang, February 6 (KCNA) -- It is a fixed policy and a consistent stand of the DPRK Government to protect the sovereignty and security of the country and the nation from foreign aggression and interference, says Rodong Sinmun today in a signed article. It goes on:The DPRK Government's decision to withdraw from the NPT was a self-defensive measure taken to resolutely foil the U.S. imperialists' moves to infringe upon its sovereignty, right to existence and security and strangle it by force.
It was the U.S. moves to stifle the DPRK that compelled it to quit the NPT. Therefore, it is the U.S., not South Korea, which stands in confrontation with the DPRK.
If the U.S. is allowed to stifle the DPRK and provoke a war with nukes, a new war will inevitably break out on the Korean Peninsula and it will develop to be a nuclear war. This is clear to everyone.
In that case it will be none other than the Koreans in the north and the south who will suffer from it.
The DPRK Government's recent decision represents its unshakable will to react to the U.S. hostile policy to stifle the DPRK with the toughest stand and defend the sovereignty and security of the country and the nation.
All the Koreans should positively respond to the DPRK Government's measure and turn out in a nationwide struggle to protect the sovereignty and security of the country and the nation.
