A spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) 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 including the Songdowon International Children’s Camp in the recently-issued list of sanctions against Russia:
On May 11, the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office included the Songdowon International Children’s Camp of the DPRK in the list of sanctions, while announcing sanctions measures against Russia’s so-called organized activities which they claim are aimed at forcible displacement and militarization of Ukrainian children.
Britain’s such reckless act is an extreme expression of political provocation against humanity aimed at tarnishing the external image of our state and disparaging the DPRK-Russia relations of friendship and cooperation by unreasonably associating our children’s camping facility with the groundless issue of forcible displacement of Ukrainian children.
We strongly denounce and reject the malicious act of the British government which targeted even the camp, a sacred base for education and growth of children, for achieving its purpose of political machinations.
So far, the UK 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 conspiracy 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 infringing on even the rights and interests of the children that our state values the most, we have well-founded rights to counter London’s malicious behavior.
The British government will be held fully accountable for any consequences to be entailed by its grave hostility toward our state.
