Recalling that they kicked off the adventurous Key Resolve and Foal Eagle 16 joint military exercises against the DPRK on March 7 despite unanimous protest of the public at home and abroad, the statement said:

We vehemently condemn the south Korean warmongers for their dangerous war rehearsals to stifle the DPRK by force of arms and bring a nuclear disaster to the Korean nation.

The south Korean authorities had better stop such reckless saber-rattling, mindful that their servile attitude toward the U.S. criminal hostile policy toward the DPRK is a criminal act of disturbing peace on the Korean peninsula and blocking the development of the inter-Korean relations and reunification.

The U.S. imperialists and the south Korean warmongers should think twice about the serious consequences to be entailed by the provocative war exercises against the DPRK and immediately stop them.
