The statement expressed full support for the DPRK's stand on the "Cheonan" case.

It went on:

The U.S. and the south Korean conservative authorities orchestrated the "Cheonan" case in last March with an aim to provoke the DPRK and announced "results of investigation" in which they claimed the DPRK sank the warship. The DPRK made it clear that it had nothing to do with the case and proposed to the U.S. a joint probe into the truth about it.

The U.S., however, turned down the DPRK's proposal for the joint investigation and got frantic in its anti-DPRK moves as evidenced by the joint military maneuvers being staged by it with the south Korean puppet group.

Clear is the reason why the U.S. and the south Korean authorities orchestrated such case. They required this to stifle the DPRK and block Korea's reunification.

We brand the "Cheonan" case as a conspiratorial farce and demand the U.S. make an apology for seeking to deceive the world.

We extend full support and solidarity to the Korean people in their efforts to build a thriving nation and achieve national reunification.
