The statement said:

The U.S. and south Korean puppet group staged the largest-ever dangerous nuclear war exercises Key Resolve and Foal Eagle 16 from March 7 to April 30 and all sorts of riff-raffs slapped harsh "sanctions" against the DPRK. However, it countered their rackets with its own style bold, exceptional and the toughest countermeasures, throwing them into inescapable horror, uneasiness, confusion and tight corner

The dozens of days-long showdown made by it with these hostile forces drew keen attention of the public at home and abroad and its aftershock is still going on.

The government, political parties and organizations of the DPRK seriously warned the U.S. and its followers as follows with the qualifications and right of the full-fledged nuclear power, looking back upon exciting days when the DPRK resolutely coped with the unjust military strong-arm actions and threat of a nuclear war by its own efforts, firmly defended peace, security and dignity of the nation and recorded a fresh page in the world political history:

Firstly, no one should pursue an ulterior motive as regards the nuclear weapons of the DPRK which represent its independence, dignity and lifeline, now that it has rounded off its nuclear attack capability at the highest level to cope with the U.S. and its followers' threat of a nuclear war which reached an extreme phase.

The warmongers' recent reckless moves to trample down the sovereignty of the DPRK and deprive the Korean people of the right to existence provided it with a golden opportunity of bolstering up its nuclear force in quality and quantity.

The DPRK has got everything desired and had access to everything required and acquired the status of a nuclear power having all types of substantial means capable of successfully coping with the U.S. nuclear edge and nuclear hegemony both in name and reality.

As long as the hostile acts and threat of aggression against the DPRK persist along with the nuclear blackmail, and imperialism, the root cause of injustice and evils, remains in the world, the DPRK will further sharpen its treasured nuclear sword of justice and defend both sovereignty and justice with nukes and usher in a fresh era of national reunification and prosperity by dint of its might.

Secondly, the U.S. and the puppet group should not dream of the so-called effect of "sanctions" and "blockade" against the DPRK today when the Korean style economic power is on the horizon to enable all the people to enjoy the happiest life under the uplifted banner of the self-development-first principle.

The stereo-typed trumpeting about "sanctions" and "blockade" against the DPRK will never work on it today when it is achieving the economic development of the country and improvement of the people's living on the invincible self-development-first principle, pursuant to the Juche-oriented line of simultaneously developing the two fronts, not by any help of other.

The U.S. and the puppet group's harsh "sanctions" against the DPRK will only turn out to be a noose tightening their necks by themselves and they will keenly feel how long they have resorted to the foolish and mean acts, watching the majestic appearance of the economic power on this land and hearing the happy laughter.

Thirdly, the U.S. and its followers should clearly understand that the longer they pursue the confrontation with the DPRK, the bitterer disgrace and shame they will suffer as the loser and the more legendary tales about steady victories Songun Korea will convey to posterity.

Now is the time for the U.S. and its followers to cool their heads heated by war hysteria and take a fresh option for their own benefits as they have been hell-bent on the moves to realize their unattainable goal of invading the DPRK.

The U.S. should make a bold decision to roll back its hostile policy toward the DPRK, the root cause of tension on the Korean Peninsula and its surrounding areas, and stop the war exercises against it, far from persistently taking issue with its nuclear weapons which do not pose any threat to anyone.
