The statement said:

The U.S. moves to deploy THAAD in south Korea are a provocation aimed to disturb the world security and peace in disregard of the international community. And it seeks a cynical ploy to escalate tension on the Korean peninsula in a bid to ignite a war in this region.

Such foolish moves will bring nothing but disgrace and ruin to the U.S.

We, standing on the same trench with the Korean people, denounce the UN for blindly following the U.S. war strategy against the DPRK, and the south Korean puppet forces for serving the U.S., pressurized by high-handed practices and threats.
