The statement said:

We are of the view that the sovereign states have the right to defend their countries by all means and methods.

The instable situation on the Korean Peninsula has been created due to the U.S. hostile policy.

The U.S. imperialists' hostile policy toward the DPRK has pushed the situation on the peninsula to the brink of war.

What is important in the issue of the peninsula is whether the U.S. has the will to conclude a peace treaty with the DPRK or not.

The goal of the progressives is to build a world free from nuclear weapons but this is based on the premise that the sovereignty of all countries is guaranteed.

The people of all sovereign states have the right to defend their countries as long as the imperialists threaten independent countries.
