PYONGYANG — United States Congress recently tabled a “resolution” on “praying for peace and reunification of the Korean peninsula” with the 60th anniversary of the Korean Armistice Agreement as a momentum. The “resolution” says “nuclear weapons of north Korea are the biggest hurdle” lying in the way of peace and reunification of the peninsula.
This is an unpardonable insult to the Korean nation which has longed for reunification for decades and sophism to evade the blame for the division of the peninsula.
The US is describing nuclear weapons of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea as hurdles lying in the way of peace and reunification of the peninsula which, when seen from the reversed way, means that Pyongyang’s nuclear weapons are the biggest hurdles lying in the way of realising its criminal scenario for igniting a war against the DPRK anytime by keeping hold on south Korea for an indefinite period.
Peace has been maintained in the Korean peninsula and the Asia-Pacific region because the DPRK has the great Songun politics and strong physical deterrent no enemy dares provoke.
If the US is truly interested in peace and reunification of the peninsula, it should make a bold decision to withdraw its forces from south Korea, the forces which are the biggest hurdles, to begin with. The DPRK permanent representative at the UN Office and other international organisations in Geneva was interviewed by reporters at the DPRK permanent mission on July 10.
Present there were reporters of China, UK, France, US, Japan and other countries and relevant officials. The permanent representative said that to dismantle the illegal and ghost-like “UN Command” is a prerequisite to defusing tensions and ensuring peace and security in the Korean peninsula and the Asia-Pacific region. Explaining why the DPRK is underlining the need again to dismantle the “UN Command”, he said:
First, it is because the danger of war on the Korean peninsula is increasing for the reason related to the structure of the “UN Command”. Looking back and analysing the situation that prevailed on the peninsula in March and April, we reached at an important conclusion that the “UN Command” is a major factor creating the danger of war. If the US stages joint military exercises in August, the Korean peninsula will again plunge into an unpredictable catastrophic phase. — Embassy of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea..
