The All India Indo-Korean Friendship Association said this in a statement on March 9.

It went on:

Key Resolve and Foal Eagle 16 joint military exercises are the drills for a nuclear war that may bring unimaginable destruction to the world.

The U.S. and other hostile forces are working hard to occupy the whole of the Korean peninsula through the threat of nuclear attack and to shift the blame for the tensions caused by them on to the DPRK.

Just is the stand of the DPRK which declared that it would turn its mode of military counteraction into the one of preemptive attack to deal a merciless and annihilating attack at the enemies under the prevailing grave situation that they are getting desperate to infringe upon its dignity and sovereignty and people's right to existence.

The DPRK has already warned the U.S. imperialists and their followers not to seek to "bring down its social system", dismissing it as a day-dream.

The statement called on the peace-loving people in the world to extend support and solidarity to the Korean people in their just struggle for ensuring peace in Asia and the rest of the world against the anti-DPRK hostile moves of the U.S. and its followers.
