The statement said escalated tension on the Korean Peninsula is a product of the U.S. policy of pursuing confrontation with the DPRK.

It went on: The U.S. is intensifying its arbitrary actions to impose new "sanctions" on the DPRK through the U.N. Security Council, while taking issue with its satellite launch for peaceful purposes and nuclear test for defending its sovereignty.

There were more than 2 000 nuclear tests and over 9 000 satellite launches in the UN history, but never has there been such a UNSC's resolution that banned any country from conducting a nuclear test and launching satellite.

The UNSC's "resolution on sanctions" against the DPRK was an expression of serious prejudice and double-standard policy which go quite contrary to the international organ's mission to respect the sovereignty of its member states and ensure the world peace and security.

The UNSC should condemn the U.S. for its military confrontation policy extremely escalating the tension by threat of a nuclear attack, not blaming the DPRK, which is using the outer space for peaceful purposes in line with its legitimate right as a sovereign state.

The peace-loving and progressive forces on the globe should conduct the solidarity movement for urging the U.S. to come out to negotiations to immediately defuse the tension on the Korean Peninsula mounting day by day due to the U.S. hostile policy toward the DPRK, and sign a peace treaty with it.
