The secretary general vehemently denounced the joint military exercises kicked off again by the U.S. creating a serious danger of a nuclear war on the Korean peninsula and extremely screwing up the tension.

The U.S. is undisguisedly staging the military exercises simulating the direct nuclear attack on the DPRK, the secretary general said, and went on:

This year, too, the U.S. and south Korean authorities started the frantic military exercises on Aug. 22.

Ulji Freedom Guardian is a military maneuver targeting the DPRK from A to Z.

The U.S. has already deployed nuclear strategic bombers on Guam and seeks to deploy THAAD in south Korea.

Nuclear crisis on the Korean peninsula was spawned by the U.S. nuclear weapons in south Korea, not by the DPRK.

The U.S. nuclear weapons should be withdrawn from south Korea to ensure peace and stability on the Korean peninsula.

Sovereignty is wantonly being violated by the shameless U.S. inference into internal affairs and military maneuvers in other countries and regions.

The south Korean chief executive displeased with peace on the peninsula should come to herself.

The Japanese government should make a switchover in the policy towards the DPRK and resume dialogue as soon as possible to normalize diplomatic relations with the DPRK in accordance with the Japan-DPRK Pyongyang Declaration, not following the U.S. creating a crisis on the peninsula.

We condemn the U.S.-south Korea joint military exercises against the DPRK.
