Provocative U.S.-south Korea joint military exercises for invading the DPRK started, the statement noted, adding:

The UN Security Council's "sanctions resolution" No. 2270 against the DPRK is the extension of the U.S. aggressive hostile policy toward the DPRK and a declaration of war against the sovereignty and vital rights of the Korean people.

The U.S. and its stooges' sanctions and blockade against the DPRK are intolerable.

No one is entitled to pull up a sovereign state over its satellite launch and bolstering of its self-defensive nuclear deterrent.

The Communist Party in Sweden strongly denounces the UNSC for encouraging a war on the Korean peninsula by fabricating the criminal "sanctions resolution" against the DPRK.
