So said in a statement issued by the Korean Friendship Association on June 5 on the occasion of the first anniversary of the adoption of the June 12 DPRK-U.S. Joint Statement.

The statement referred to the measures taken by the DPRK for peace of the Korean Peninsula and the world.

It said:

The June 12 DPRK-U.S. Joint Statement of great historic significance is now on the verge of turning into a dead document as the U.S. shuns its implementation.

There is a limit to the DPRK's patience.

Now is the time for the U.S. to roll back its hostile policy towards the DPRK.
