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

Pyongyang, May 15 (KCNA) -- A spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea gave the following answer to a question raised by KCNA on May 15 as regards the fact that Britain committed an extremely provocative act of putting the Songdowon International Children's Camp into the recently-issued list of sanctions against Russia:

On May 11, the British Foreign Office included our Songdowon International Children's Camp in the list of sanctions, while announcing "sanctions measures" against Russia's "organizational activities" to "forcibly transfer" and "militarize" Ukrainian children.

Britain's such reckless act is a heinous unethical politically-motivated provocation to tarnish the external image of our state and disparage the DPRK-Russia relations of friendship and cooperation by unreasonably linking our children's camping facility with the groundless issue of "forcible migration" of Ukrainian children.

We strongly denounce and reject the malicious act of the British government which targets even the camp, a sacred base for education and growth of children, for achieving its purpose of political machination.

So far, Britain has followed zealously the U.S. acts of hostility toward the DPRK, taken issue in every way with the exercise of sovereign rights of our state and participated in the war drills against the DPRK at any time, thus systematically aggravating the bilateral relations.

The British government's recent designation of the Songdowon International Children's Camp as a target of "sanctions" as part of its conspiratorial moves to demonize Russia is an intolerable insult to our dignified state and proves that its hostility toward the DPRK is exceeding the limits.

Now that Britain has committed such reckless acts as toying with even the rights and interests of the children that our state values the most, we have the adequate rights to counter London's malicious behavior.

The British government will be wholly responsible for all the consequences to be entailed from its grave hostile act toward our state. -0-
