Pyongyang, June 23 (KCNA) -- Bonakele Majuba, secretary of the Mfumalanga Provincial Committee of the South African Communist Party and chairman of the South African Association of Friendship and Solidarity with Korean People, on June 16 issued a statement titled "the United Nations Security Council's 'resolution on sanctions' should be retracted." The statement noted that the "resolution on sanctions" against the DPRK adopted by the UNSC was obviously a mean product of the U.S.-led international pressure offensive designed to disarm the DPRK, suffocate its economy and bring down Korean-style socialism. The DPRK conducted the recent nuclear test because of the high-handed acts conducted by the U.S. and the UNSC, pursuant to its policy, in denial of the sovereign state's legitimate right to launch a satellite, the statement noted, and went on: The satellite launch and nuclear test are not a monopoly of big powers and any country of the world has the right to conduct the satellite launch and nuclear test in the interests of the country and its people if its technology is developed. The UN should immediately lift the sanctions against the DPRK, aware that the world peace is being disturbed by the strong arm actions of big powers and it had better bear in mind that the key to the solution is to remove the threat of big powers to the DPRK's sovereignty. I call upon the progressive people to extend solidarity to the Korean people in their just cause of defending the sovereignty of the country and, at the same time, wage a worldwide struggle in protest against the UNSC "resolution on sanctions" against the DPRK. |
