Pyongyang, June 13 (KCNA) — A spokesperson for the Tenth Department of the DPRK Foreign Ministry on June 13 issued the following press statement titled “As expected, the ROK is an invariable enemy state obsessed with hostility and confrontation”:
The chief executive of the ROK threw off the bothersome mask of “peace”.
The president of the ROK, on a visit to Europe, had talks with top leaders of the European Union and made public a joint statement employing provocative words that the DPRK’s position as a nuclear weapons state and its exercise of sovereign rights including the DPRK-Russia military cooperation are “illegal” and that they would never “recognize”, but “strongly denounce” them.
This is a clear infringement on the sovereignty of our state and a grave hostile act, and it is little short of throwing away such camouflaged signboards as “respect for social system” and “no-seeking after hostility” which the ROK has talked so much.
It has already been highlighted at home and abroad that the ROK regards hostility and confrontation as its foundation and it can not exist even a moment without them.
The ROK is the first enemy state, which can never exist without pursuing hostility toward the DPRK, and the U.S. “dagger” for invading the DPRK and the rest of the Asian Continent. This is just the entity and destiny of the ROK.
As its inevitable consequence, the U.S. favorite “dagger” finally stuck out from the silk kerchief called “peace”.
Through the above-said confrontational declaration, the chief executive of the ROK voluntarily proved before the world that there can never be “peaceful coexistence” between the DPRK and the ROK and the hostile relations will be maintained between them forever and that the ROK is an accomplice with same ulterior motives as the Ukrainian puppet forces.
That the chief executive of the ROK displayed his unusual “frankness” shows that he lost his face to resort the deceptive farce about “peace declaration” and “theory on two peaceful states” any more.
Whatever the Seoul rulers say and do, the DPRK will deem it a challenge and remain unchanged in its principle of confronting the enemy aimed to definitely treat the ROK as a hostile state. -0-
