West Coast Exchange, North Korea Watcher Conference, Sept. 2026

Pyongyang, November 6 (KCNA) -- Kim Un Chol, vice-minister for U.S. Affairs of the Foreign Ministry of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, made public a press statement "We clarify our clear stance as we confirmed again the U.S. ulterior intention to be hostile towards our state to the last" on November 6.

The full text of his press statement is as follows:

The U.S. has fully betrayed again its wicked nature to be hostile towards the DPRK till the end.

Recently, the new U.S. administration has imposed its exclusive sanctions on the DPRK, the fifth of their kind since its assumption of office, which marked an occasion of putting an end to the speculation of the world and the public opinion on the change in the U.S. policy towards the DPRK.

By doing so, the U.S. administration showed to the full its stand that it would be hostile towards the DPRK to the last.

We clearly understood and reconfirmed the moves of the present U.S. administration to express its invariable hostile intention towards the DPRK again in an accustomed and traditional way.

The U.S. should not expect or desire to see its own mode of dealing, which is full of pressure, appeasement, threat and blackmail, working on the DPRK some day.

The U.S. sanctions will have no effect on the DPRK's thinking and viewpoint on it in the future, too, as in the past.

Persistent practice of imposing sanctions by the present U.S. administration obsessed with the hostility towards the DPRK will only be recorded as a typical example symbolizing the failure in its incurable policy towards the DPRK.

The U.S. needs to pay attention to the fact that there is no possibility for it to change the present strategic situation between the DPRK and the U.S. in its favor no matter how desperately it may mobilize its all sanctions.

It is, indeed, a foolish move to look forward to a new result by resorting to the obsolete scenario of the failed past.

Now that the present U.S. administration has clarified its stand to be hostile towards the DPRK to the last, we will also take proper measures to counter it with patience for any length of time. -0-
