In recent days the U.S. hostile acts against the DPRK have gone beyond a tolerance limit, the statement said, and went on:

The U.S. has strained the situation on the Korean peninsula by staging large-scale joint military exercises in collusion with the south Korean puppet forces and found fault with the non-existent "human rights issue" in the DPRK to tarnish its image.

The NDC of the DPRK issued a statement denouncing the U.S. extreme hostile policy and clarifying its principled stand on it.

We fully support the statement.

We demand the U.S. immediately halt all sorts of hostile acts against the DPRK.

The U.S. should know that its frantic hostile acts compelled the DPRK to have access to nuclear weapons and that the world will suffer an unimaginable catastrophe if a war breaks out on the peninsula.

The U.S. inveterate acts against the DPRK are not beneficial.

The only solution to solving the issue is for both sides to conclude a peace accord.

The U.S. should immediately take its hands off Korea and promote the north-south dialogue so that Koreans can solve the inter-Korean issue by themselves.

We appeal to the international community to put collective pressure on the war-like forces who resort to injustice, domination and exploitation to meet their interests.
