Its participants were briefed on the statement of the DPRK National Defence Commission and the crucial statement of the Supreme Command of the Korean People's Army, to be followed by speeches.

Zelenov, first secretary of the Nakhodka City Committee of the Maritime Territory of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, said:

The joint military exercises being staged by the U.S., south Korea and other followers are rendering the situation on the Korean peninsula extremely tense as they are unprecedented in their aggressive nature.

The war rehearsals are unpardonable gangster-like moves to deprive a country of not only its sovereignty but also its right to existence.

A secretary of the same city committee fully supported the self-defensive and decisive measures taken by the DPRK to cope with the outrageous "sanctions resolution" fabricated by the U.S. and its followers and the aggressive joint military drills on the Korean peninsula.
