Press Statement of Spokesperson for DPRK Foreign Ministry

Pyongyang, March 17 (KCNA) -- A spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea issued the following press statement titled "G7, the U.S.-led nuclear criminal group, should thoroughly abandon its anachronistic ambition for nuclear hegemony" on Sunday:

At the G7 foreign minister meeting recently held in Canada, the U.S. and other Western countries perpetrated a political provocation talking about someone's "dismantlement of nukes", while pulling up the DPRK over its exercise of the just and legitimate sovereign rights.

The Foreign Ministry of the DPRK expresses a serious concern over the fact that the member states of G7, the chief criminals wrecking the global peace and security and the international nuclear non-proliferation system, are taking issue with the possession of the just war deterrence of a sovereign state just like a guilty party filing the suit first, and clarifies that it will never tolerate any encroachment upon the sovereignty and internal affairs of the DPRK.

Those countries which regard nuclear weapons as the main means for realizing their aggressive and hegemonic political and military purposes are the member states of the G7, and those countries which are hell-bent on illegal and malicious nuclear proliferation act under the pretext of "nuclear sharing" and "offer of extended deterrence" are none other than the member states of the G7.

It is an irrefutable well-known fact that the U.S., the only state that used nuclear weapons in the world, is a typical nuclear threat entity that is bringing the crisis of nuclear conflict to the Korean peninsula, Europe and other parts of the world through unlimited nuclear arms buildup and reckless nuclear war drills and it is the biggest country of the world proliferating nuclear weapons.

Britain, not content with its nuclear weapons, is openly attempting to introduce again the U.S. nukes into its country and taking the lead in transferring nuclear submarine technology to a non-nuclear weapons state, and the U.S. nukes have been deployed in Germany and Italy.

Meanwhile, claiming "offering of nuclear umbrella" to western European counties, France is fostering another concerning possibility of nuclear proliferation in the region, and Japan has been provided with the U.S. "extended deterrence" including nuclear weapons, thus raising the relationship of security and cooperation with the U.S. to the one of nuclear alliance.

All facts shows that G7 which consists of the U.S. and its vassal allies is, indeed, the root cause of the occurrence of global nuclear crisis and its aggravation and that G7 should start the "complete and irretrievable abandonment of nukes".

G7, which has turned into a nuclear criminal group gravely threatening the global peace and security, should thoroughly abandon its anachronistic ambition for nuclear hegemony before talking about someone's "denuclearization" and "dismantlement of nukes".

The DPRK's position of nuclear weapons state which has been fixed permanently by the supreme law of its state will not change according to the recognition of anyone, and the DPRK's nuclear armed forces will exist forever as a powerful means of justice which defends the sovereignty of the state, territorial integrity and fundamental interests, prevents a war in the Korean peninsula and Northeast Asia and guarantees a strategic stability of the world.

The DPRK will steadily update and strengthen its nuclear armed forces both in quality and quantity in response to the nuclear threat from outside as stipulated in its Constitution and other domestic laws and reliably defend the peace and security of the state, the region and the rest of the world as the responsible nuclear weapons state. -0-
