The statement said:

The DPRK's successful test of H-bomb helped greatly deter the danger of a nuclear war by the U.S. in Far East and Asia-Pacific including the Korean peninsula and provided a reliable guarantee for ensuring world peace and security. This feat deserves admiration by humankind.

However, the hostile forces including the U.S. are going desperate to apply fresh sanctions and pressure on the DPRK while branding its successful H-bomb test as "threat" to peace and security and "challenge" to UN "resolutions".

Utterly disgusting is the despicable behavior of the Japanese reactionaries and the south Korean puppet forces taking the lead here.

The Korea Asia-Pacific Peace Committee clarifies the following principled stand under the prevailing situation:

1. The U.S. should stop rash act and not run wild, with deep consideration of the position and weight of its rival Juche Korea that have undergone change after its access to H-bomb.

If the U.S. adheres to sanctions and pressure, not properly judging the great significance and the stern warning given by the success in the H-bomb test of Juche Korea, it will face unprecedentedly resolute counteraction it can not hold control of.

2. Japan should clearly understand its position and stop indecent deed of acting as the U.S. cat's paw.

The army and people of the DPRK with pent-up wrath against the Japanese reactionaries are waiting for a moment to settle accounts with the present Japanese authorities who have taken the lead in tightening sanctions against the DPRK pursuant to the U.S.

Japan should bear in mind that it is near the DPRK, world-level military power possessed of diversified A-bomb, H-bomb and rockets of deadly striking power and hit effect.

3. The south Korean authorities should not spout "strong military counteraction" for which they can not be responsible, a bluff unbecoming for their have-not position.

The stooges moving at the beck and call of others, being subject to sycophancy and submission should not go unreasonable as to call for slapping "painful sanctions" and "pressure", and should stop provoking laughter of people with their such clumsy counteraction as "joint strike" reminiscent of children's playing at soldiers.

4. The world including the neighboring countries needs to have proper understanding of the nuclear issue of Korea.

The nuclear blackmail and threat the U.S. has posed to the DPRK so far have been a wrong option against the rival of wrong choice.

The world will more keenly realize what a special event the DPRK's possession of H-bomb becomes in terminating the U.S. and other big powers' high-handed and arbitrary practices and establishing a fair international order.

Taking this opportunity, we appeal to the world conscience to turn out in the action to set right the biased international order ruled by the U.S. and the misguided trend in which injustice prevails over justice.
