The statement said:

The U.S. is ever screwing up military tensions on the Korean peninsula despite the DPRK's repeated warnings and strong protest of the world public and this is increasing the danger of a war day by day.

The DPRK has the legitimate right to protect its sovereignty, dignity and independent development.

The U.S. sanctions and moves to stifle the DPRK are lashing the Korean people into a great fury.

We demand the U.S. stop at once the dangerous act of bringing down the socialist system in the DPRK through "human rights" racket and think in a realistic manner.

The Korean people duly have the right to choose their own social system and develop it.

To roll back the hostile policy towards the DPRK as soon as possible, discontinue all joint military exercises for aggression on the Korean peninsula and settle all issues through talks with the DPRK will be a wise behavior and beneficial thing for the U.S.
