Unswerving Will of DPRK

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)

    Pyongyang, January 23 (KCNA) -- The Korean history has recorded many days when the people of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea have demonstrated their invincible will in the confrontation with the U.S. imperialists. January 23, Juche 57 (1968) was one of such days.
    That day the heroic Korean People's Army (KPA) captured the U.S. armed spy ship "Pueblo" which infiltrated into the territorial waters of the DPRK to commit espionages.
    Far from admitting their crime, the U.S. imperialists threatened the DPRK militarily, fabricating all kinds of lies.
    But the DPRK stated that it would return retaliation for retaliation and all-out war for all-out war. This compelled the U.S. administration to apologize for the espionage and hostile acts committed by the spy ship and sign a document guaranteeing that its any warships shall not infiltrate into the territorial waters of the DPRK.
    It is the mettle of the DPRK that it does not allow any infringement on the sovereignty of the nation.
    The U.S. imperialists, far from drawing a lesson from the "Pueblo" incident, committed such acts of invading the DPRK as the large-sized spy plane "EC-121" incident in April 1969, "OAH-23G" incident in August 1969 and reconnaissance helicopter incident in December 1994. Each time they could not avoid a telling blow of the Korean People's Army.
    When the U.S. imperialists infringed upon the supreme interest of the sovereign state on the pretext of "nuclear issue" in January 2003, the DPRK made public a government statement declaring that it would quit the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty to defend the sovereignty, right to existence and the dignity of the country and the nation, thus frustrating the enemy's anti-DPRK moves to smithereens.
    In recent years, the U.S. imperialists have been intensifying overall pressure on the DPRK, raising unwarranted issues including "human rights issue" and "counterfeit issue".
    But the DPRK, which has strengthened in every way the single-minded unity stronger than the nuclear weapons and the self-reliant national defence power including nuclear deterrent always sternly stands against any anti-DPRK moves of the enemy.
    If the U.S. imperialists start a war, defying the strong will of the Korean people, they are bound to meet the same destiny with "Pueblo".
