The DPRK is calling for dismantling all nukes all over the world, he noted, adding: It is possible to dismantle nukes only when the country, which has nukes more than any other country in the world, stops the modernization of nuclear weapons and the establishment of the MD system and sets an example in taking the lead in nuclear disarmament.

The prevailing situation on the Korean peninsula shows that the hostile policy and nuclear threat and blackmail against the DPRK by the world's largest nuclear weapons state have reached a more serious stage, he said, declaring the stand of the DPRK as follows:

Firstly, the U.S. should stop at once the joint military exercises on the Korean peninsula, aimed at posing nuclear threat and blackmail against the DPRK.

Secondly, the U.S. should not describe the DPRK's self-defensive countermeasures to cope with the U.S. nuclear threat and blackmail as a "provocation" and "threat".

The delegation of the DPRK expects the meeting will pay special attention to the cruel nuclear threat and blackmail against the DPRK by the world's largest nuclear weapons state for more than 6 decades.

The DPRK will continue working hard to denuclearize the Korean peninsula with a main emphasis on putting an end to the U.S. nuclear threat and blackmail against the DPRK.
