It goes on:

The denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula is the issue that the DPRK initiated in view of the nuclear threat of the U.S. and for whose solution the DPRK has made positive efforts.

The DPRK government warned in April 1959 against the U.S. imperialists' conversion of south Korea into a nuclear base and advanced a proposal to establish a peace zone in Asia free from nuclear weapons.

The U.S. blocked the denuclearization of the peninsula while spreading the story about "effectiveness" of nuclear weapons, far from accepting the positive proposal of the DPRK.

The U.S. staged ceaseless war exercises of various forms in south Korea and its vicinity with nuclear forces involved, imposing nuclear threat and blackmail upon the DPRK and increasing the danger of nuclear war on the Korean Peninsula.

The grave situation prevailing in the peninsula where the DPRK is exposed to grave nuclear threat of the U.S. required the DPRK to physically cope with its increased moves to stifle the DPRK. That was why the DPRK determined to have access to deterrent and had no option but to put it into action.

The U.S. pulled up the DPRK over its satellite launch for peaceful purposes, terming it "a ballistic missile launch", and fabricated the "resolution" at the UNSC. This was a product and height of the U.S. hostile policy toward the DPRK.

Now that the U.S. hostile policy toward the DPRK has entered its more dangerous phase, it will focus all its efforts not on the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula but on that of the world.
