The joint statement said that the U.S. imperialists and their satellite forces are working hard to encroach on the DPRK's legitimate right to use outer space for peaceful purposes.

This is just the violation of the sovereignty of the DPRK and the height of double standards, it noted, and went on:

The DPRK, however, will never remain a passive onlooker to it.

The U.S. has no qualification to take issue with the nuclear test conducted by the DPRK as the former has the hugest stockpile of nuclear weapons in the world and a variety of missiles and conducted lots of nuclear tests.

The U.S. hostile moves against the DPRK have recently gone beyond the danger limit.

The U.S. keeps staging large-scale military exercises together with south Korea while fabricating the anti-DPRK "resolutions on sanctions" by instigating the UN Security Council in a bid to retard the DPRK's economic development.

The on-going Key Resolve and Foal Eagle joint military drills are not ones for defence in the light of their scale, nature and period.

What should not be overlooked is that the U.S. imperialists dragged even their satellite states' forces into the drills.

All facts show that the U.S. imperialists are contemplating invading the DPRK and stifling Korean-style socialist system by force.

The U.S. imperialists are sadly mistaken if they think they can provoke the DPRK like Iraq.

The KPA led by the dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un is strong enough to annihilate the U.S. imperialist aggressors at one blow and defend the country's sovereignty and achieve national reunification.

The Korean people are sure to win a final victory as they are led by Marshal Kim Jong Un.
