The decision was a bold step to eradicate the leftovers of the Cold War and achieve durable peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and thus contribute to the human cause of peace.

AA and hostile forces' alliance for a war that have still existed decades since the confrontation between the East and West ended are the last leftovers of the Cold War on the earth.

Since the ceasefire in the Korean war the U.S. has obstructed the reunification of Korea to put the region under its control and fostered contradiction and confrontation between the north and the south contrary to AA which defined a peaceful solution to the Korean issue.

Since the demise of the Cold War, too, it has expanded and strengthened the military alliance in the Cold War period under the pretext of the continued state of war under AA.

It developed U.S.-south Korea, U.S.-Japan alliance into a triangular military alliance and a multinational military alliance comprising Australia and others. It is now spearheading the implementation of the UN Security Council's "resolution on sanctions" in a bid to hurl more satellite states than those in the 1950 Korean war into a new Korean war.

More countries are participating in blocs including a military alliance under this or that pretext, to say nothing of countries and regions hostile to the DPRK after the demise of the Cold War.

On the contrary, the DPRK has neither joined any military bloc nor received any guarantee for military protection such as "nuclear umbrella".

It is only the DPRK that is countering the imperialist allied forces by itself outside bloc. As a result, a serious military and dynamic imbalance has been created in the international relations surrounding the Korean Peninsula.

The anti-DPRK moves of the U.S. and its allies are escalating as the days go by as evidenced by the high-handed sanctions and pressure they put on it by setting in motion a hand-raising machine inside the UN while branding the DPRK's satellite launch, the legitimate right of a sovereign state, as a "provocation". This saliently reveals the reality in which only the law of jungle prevails, to say nothing of the elementary impartiality and principle.

Such imbalance cannot be removed as long as there remains AA and there is a limit to the capacity of neighboring big powers to defuse the continuing instability and tension on the Korean Peninsula. This has been fully proved by the past six-decade-long history.

Nowhere in the world is such war zone as the Korean Peninsula where huge nuclear strategic forces are massively deployed and military actions including joint war maneuvers are taking place almost every day.

Peace on the peninsula is linked to world peace.

A new Korean war will mean a regional war and world war which will involve major states in the Asia-Pacific region and the region. World peace is unthinkable apart from peace on the peninsula.

The existence of the fragile AA would not be of any help to ensuring peace on the peninsula and in the rest of the world but create only a vicious cycle in the relations among regional countries including big powers and hinder their development. This is truth proven by history.

The constant source of war exists in the Asia-Pacific, the largest center of world political, economic and military activities in the 21st century though they are aimed at peace and development. This is not in line with the basic trend of the development of the present times and not beneficial to anyone.

The state of ceasefire on the peninsula should not be allowed to go on in the light of the trend of the times and the prevailing situation.

The nullification of AA shows once again the iron will of the DPRK which set it as the main task for defending the sovereignty to ensure peace on the peninsula and has made every possible effort to do so.

The option of the DPRK has become clear now that the moves of all hostile forces to encroach upon its sovereignty and dignity are reaching a dangerous phase.

The army and people of the DPRK have launched a decisive battle for national reunification and peace of mankind, keenly aware of the noble responsibility for protecting the destiny of the country and the nation and convinced of the final victory in the all-out action against the U.S.

It is their invariable stand and the mode of the counteraction of Mt. Paektu style to counter the enemy coming in attack with a knife with a sword, a rifle with artillery piece, and nukes with precision strike means more powerful than them.

Gone are the days when there was verbal exchange.

If the hostile forces dare provoke the DPRK, misjudging its steadfast toughest countermeasures, they will perish in face of its merciless, deadly retaliatory blows.

All the service personnel and people of the DPRK will fully realize the sovereignty of the country and the nation by dint of the tremendous might of Songun they have bolstered and record a new history of great Korea which has defeated the imperialist allied forces.
