Rodong Sinmun Friday observes in an article in this regard:

The people all over the world wish to live in a peaceful and prospering world free from aggression and war.

People so much desire peace and security but they don't come of themselves.

They can not be achieved without struggle under the situation where the imperialists are getting more vicious to hold world supremacy.

The U.S. has recently argued that it is an Asia-Pacific country in a bid to exert influence on the region.

The U.S. intensified military alliance with its satellite forces has rendered the regional situation tenser, seriously threatening the regional peace and security.

The Korean Peninsula has become the biggest hotspot in the region where constant danger of war lingers.

The grave situation on the peninsula is a serious threat not only to the Korean people and those of the neighboring countries but those of the Asia-Pacific region and, furthermore, all the countries of the world.

The world peace-loving people are fully capable of foiling the imperialists' war moves and safeguarding peace and security when they pool their efforts.

It is the steadfast stand of the Workers' Party of Korea and the government of the DPRK to reject the imperialists' aggression and war moves on the international arena to protect global peace.
