Eleazar Rubio Aldaran, visiting secretary general of the Latin American Institute of the Juche Idea, said this on Wednesday when interviewed by KCNA.

The south Korean authorities are staging the large-scale war maneuvers for aggression in league with the U.S., aggravating the situation on the Korean Peninsula, he said, and went on:

The south Korean puppet authorities are engrossed in confrontation with fellow countrymen, seeking the policy of depending on foreign forces.

Korea has not yet been reunified due to the puppet authorities resorting to the confrontation moves, serving the U.S. as their grandfather.

To cope with the prevailing situation the Supreme Command of the Korean People's Army sent an ultimatum to the south Korean authorities.

Just is the step taken by the DPRK to cope with the dangerous provocation moves of the hostile forces.

World people loving peace and justice are extending full support to the Korean people in their struggle to protect the sovereignty of the country and reunify it.

The south Korean authorities should stop at once the moves for confrontation with fellow countrymen. They should rely on the independent forces of the nation, not on foreign forces, architect of division.

If they truly want dialogue and negotiation, they should opt for the work for national reconciliation and unity.
