The grave incidents in the Korean Peninsula last year show that the U.S. is the mastermind of straining situation and harassing peace and stability, said it in its solidarity letter to the C.C., the Workers' Party of Korea on Jan. 17.

What is urgent, above all, for peace in Northeast Asia and the rest of the world is to crush the machination of the U.S. imperialists, the letter said:

It went on to say:

The reunification of the Korean Peninsula can be possible only when it is free from interference and threat by the U.S. imperialists.

This means that the U.S. forces should be withdrawn from south Korea and a peace treaty concluded between the DPRK and the U.S. to put an end to the state of ceasefire.

We wish the Korean people success in this important struggle for peace of the peninsula and the rest of the world.
