Pyongyang, August 6 (KCNA) -- Speaker of the Indonesian People's Consultative Assembly in a diplomatic appearance Tuesday scathingly accused the U.S. of interfering in the internal affairs of other countries.

The U.S. is on the verge of economic collapse as a result of its interference in other countries' domestic affairs, he said.

Today the West, the U.S. in particular, has become desperate because of the public uprisings in Mideast regional countries, he noted.
