He noted in a statement on June 3 that in its reports the U.S. malignantly slandered the DPRK and other independent countries opposed to domination.

The U.S. has run the whole gamut of military threats and nuclear blackmail for decades to stifle the DPRK by force, he said, and went on:

The U.S. has recently come out with "human rights issue" and "the issue of people's living". The U.S. is claiming as if it were interested in "people's living" in the DPRK but it is the U.S. which has most persistently barred the DPRK from developing the economy and improving the standard of people's living.

Bitterly denouncing the U.S. reports as the height of politicization and double standards of human rights and a vivid expression of distortions and fabrications, he declared his party fully supported the statement issued by a spokesman for the DPRK Foreign Ministry laying bare the ulterior aim sought by the U.S. in talking about "human rights issue" and "the issue of people's living".
