A spokesman of the Foreign Ministry of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) in a statement on Thursday strongly condemned the new policy of the U.S. towards Cuba as it reveals the true purpose of the U.S. to bring about the collapse of the socialist system established in Cuba by instigating internal instability and further tightening up the blockade against Cuba under the signboard of "American style democracy and freedom" and "human rights".

It is not surprising that the Trump administration abrogated all the allegedly "wrong" agreements concluded during the Obama administration, the statement said, and went on:

The successive rulers of the U.S. employed all kinds of ways and means to overturn the independent and progressive nations and establish U.S.-led world order and did not hesitate to abrogate international agreements and commitments.

The typical example finds its expression in the fact that the DPRK-U.S. Agreed Framework reached during the Clinton administration was revoked by the Bush administration and the Paris Agreement signed during the Obama administration was turned down by the Trump administration.

It is the imperialist characteristics inherent in the U.S. to isolate and blockade the countries that are independent against the U.S. by resorting to political, economic, military and diplomatic means, overthrow their governments and behave recklessly without thinking of consequences by trampling upon anything that is not in its favor.

The prevailing situation urgently requires the peoples of all countries aspiring after independence to further strengthen the unity and solidarity to frustrate the high-handedness and arbitrariness of the U.S. and realize genuine international justice.

The DPRK will in the future, too, extend full support and encouragement to the Party, government and people of Cuba in their struggle for independence against imperialism and for socialism and will always be standing shoulder to shoulder with them.
