The statement said the Central Committee of the Democratic Front for the Reunification of Korea on March 17 made public an "appeal to all Koreans" in which it called on all the Koreans in the north and the south and abroad to resolutely foil the war moves of the U.S. imperialists and the south Korean warmongers and turn out in a just and patriotic war for defending the destiny of the nation irrespective of differing ideology, ism, class, stratum, sex and age.

The appeal was a timely and just patriotic initiative that aroused all the Koreans to the nationwide struggle to defend the dignity and sovereignty of the nation and achieve the peace and reunification of the country under the prevailing grave situation reminiscent of the eve of a war, it noted.

The U.S. and its followers desperately tried to encroach on the sovereignty of the DPRK and the nation's right to existence over the successful launch of Kwangmyongsong 3-2 and the third nuclear test that demonstrated the nation's wisdom and resourcefulness all over the world, the statement said. It stressed that these nefarious acts are an intolerable insult and a hideous challenge to all the Koreans.

All facts prove that the U.S. imperialists are the sworn enemy of the Korean nation and the on-going all-out actions for defending the dignity and sovereignty of the nation is a showdown between the Korean nation and the U.S.

Chongryon and the Koreans in Japan will turn out in a courageous patriotic action to foil the U.S. and south Korean warlike group's reckless confrontation and war moves, defend the sovereignty and dignity of the nation and achieve national reunification.

The U.S. and the south Korean puppet warmongers should immediately stop confrontation and war moves, clearly understanding that the reckless nuclear war provocation racket will precipitate their destruction.
