Press Statement of Spokesperson for DPRK Foreign Ministry

A spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea(DPRK) issued the following press statement titled "G7, the U.S.-led nuclear criminal group, should thoroughly abandon its anachronistic ambition for nuclear hegemony" on March 16:

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

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs 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 like a guilty party filing the suit first, and clarifies that the DPRK will never tolerate any encroachment upon its sovereignty and internal affairs.

It is none other than the member states of G7 that regard nuclear weapons as the main means of realizing their aggressive and hegemonic political and military purposes and that are hell-bent on illegal and malicious nuclear proliferation under the pretext of "nuclear sharing" and "offer of extended deterrence".

It is an irrefutable well-known fact that the U.S., the one and only user of nuclear weapons in the world, is a typical nuclear threat entity that is bringing a 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 world’s biggest proliferator of nuclear weapons.

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

Meanwhile, claiming "offer of nuclear umbrella" to western European countries, 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 these facts show that G7, consisted of the U.S. and its vassal allies is, indeed, the root cause of the occurrence and aggravation of global nuclear crisis 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 "abandonment of nukes".

The DPRK’s status as a nuclear weapons state which has been fixed permanently by its supreme law 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, territorial integrity and fundamental interests of the state, prevents a war in the Korean peninsula and Northeast Asia and guarantees strategic stability of the world.

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