Statement of Spokesperson for DPRK Foreign Ministry

Date: 23/12/2022 | Source: KCNA.kp (En) | Read original version at source

Pyongyang, December 23 (KCNA) -- A spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) issued the following press statement on Friday:

The U.S. is now trying to cook up a "presidential statement" of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) condemning the DPRK's exercise of the right to self-defence.

The DPRK has already and clearly warned that such foolish attempt of the U.S. may entail a very undesirable consequence.

It will be defiance of the DPRK's sovereignty and a grave interference in its affairs to adopt any document taking issue with the DPRK's legitimate right to self-defence by abusing the name of the UN, whether it is "presidential statement" or anything else.

To usurp the right to self-defence, the core of national sovereignty, is the gravest challenge to a sovereign state, as it means that it would not recognize the sovereignty of the DPRK, and a very dangerous act that the DPRK has to counter with action.

The DPRK is closely watching the reckless moves of the U.S. which is making uninterrupted irresponsible provocations. -0-
