Press Statement of Permanent Representative of DPRK to UN

Kim Song, Permanent Representative of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea(DPRK) to the UN, issued the following press statement on January 13:

Another unusual meeting was convened in the UN arena today, undermining and sacrificing the sacred name and noble mission of the UN, a signpost and an absolute symbol of justice and equality.

The retaliatory blow of Russia was called into question.

The emergency meeting of the UN Security Council convened under Ukraine’s unilateral claims never means the international support for the appeal of a “victim”.

It is no more than an extension of the customary practice of the Western cavilers who used to groundlessly slander the just exercise of the right to self-defence of a sovereign state.

The target of denunciation and rejection is the Kiev authorities who committed illegal military terrorist attacks on Russia and those forces who actively patronized them.

I express serious concern and strongly denounce and reject Ukraine’s shameless acts of covering up its heinous terrorism against Russia and taking issue with Russia over its legitimate measures against it.

The Ukrainian crisis was obviously caused by the confrontation policy of the U.S. and the West which have violated Russia’s reasonable and legitimate security interests and escalated NATO’s eastward advance.

The responsibility for all the incidents lies entirely with the parties who created the preconditions for them.

The terrorist act targeting the absolute sovereignty of a country can never be justified, nor retaliation of justice be demonized by any assertion.

The use of military means by the armed forces of the Russian Federation is a demonstration of its absolute will not to tolerate threats to its national sovereignty and a just exercise of the right to defend its legitimate rights and interests.

The DPRK remains consistent and invariable in its stand to fully support the just cause of the Russian Federation for defending the national sovereignty, territorial integrity, security and interests.

The international community should heighten vigilance over the West’s sinister attempt to turn black into white, distort the truth and reverse the victim and the perpetrator, and should make responsible efforts to maintain genuine international justice, peace and stability.
