The Korean Friendship Association issued a statement on June 25 on the occasion of the June 25-July 27 period of joint anti-US struggle.

The statement said that it has been 72 years since the US imperialists launched the war of aggression to nip the less-than-two-year-old DPRK in the bud, and continued:

The aggressive, brutal and gangster-like nature of US imperialism was fully revealed in the three-year Korean war.

The US imperialists miscalculated that they could occupy the DPRK at one go.

But they were compelled to go down on their knees before the heroic Korean people, who defended every inch of their territory with their blood by firmly rallying around the great leader Generalissimo Kim Il Sung, and to sign the armistice agreement.

Even after the war the US imperialists made ceaseless moves to start another war in a bid to stifle the DPRK by force of arms, being oblivious of the lesson from the defeat in the Korean war.

A typical example is the aggressive joint military exercises which the US conducts annually with south Korean warmongers.

While persisting with the aggressive war games, the US ships a large quantity of its nuclear strategic assets into south Korea, watching for a chance to occupy the DPRK at any time.

The reality clearly proves that the US is just the aggravator of tension on the Korean peninsula.

The DPRK led by His Excellency Kim Jong Un has taken a series of measures to boost the self-defensive military capability in order to safeguard its sovereignty and dignity and firmly guarantee the building of a powerful socialist country by dint of arms.

This is the only way to prevent war and defend peace on the Korean peninsula.

The Korean Friendship Association sternly denounces the anti-DPRK stifling moves of the US, a wrecker of global peace.
