Of late, the U.S., Japan and south Korean puppet group held a briefing on the implementation of the illegal anti-DPRK sanctions without any authorization from the UN Secretariat and Security Council, the statement denounced, and went on:

The UNSC "resolutions on sanctions against DPRK" are an outcome of the U.S. hostile policy and criminal documents blatantly violating the sovereignty and vital rights of the DPRK.

The U.S. and its followers should not misjudge that their sanctions and pressure can work on the DPRK.

They will prove futile in the DPRK which is guided by the Juche idea and where fresh achievements are being made one after another at the Mallima speed.

The DPRK's nuclear deterrence will get stronger both in quality and quantity as long as the U.S. escalates nuclear threat and sanctions.

We denounce the U.S. and its followers for their moves to stifle the DPRK.
