It said this in a statement on March 19.

The statement went on:

The joint military exercises are aggravating the tension on the Korean peninsula and threatening peace and security in the region.

The largest-ever joint military rehearsals involving huge armed forces followed the cooking up of a new UN Security Council's "resolution on sanctions" against the DPRK.

The UNSC's "resolutions on sanctions" against the DPRK are wrecking peace on the Korean peninsula and in the region.

The U.S. and its allies are trying to topple the DPRK's social system by force.

This is a component of the U.S. strategy to dominate Asia and a move for invading the sovereign state.

The World Peace Council has been consistent in demanding the conclusion of a peace treaty between the DPRK and the U.S. and the U.S. forces' withdrawal from south Korea.

The U.S. is the only country that used nuclear bombs, has the biggest nuclear arsenal in the world and has deployed its nuclear weapons in other countries.

The World Peace Council supports Korea's peaceful reunification and extends firm solidarity to the Korean people's struggle for rejecting the imperialists' interference and hegemonism and preserving the right to decide their own fate.
