Korean Peninsula Does Not Welcome European Gentlemen Inciting Confrontation and Hostility
Pyongyang, May 25 (KCNA) -- Pak Myong Chol, an international affairs analyst of the DPRK, released the following article titled "Korean Peninsula does not welcome European gentlemen inciting confrontation and hostility" on May 25:
The president of the European Council and the chairperson of the European Commission visited south Korea recently.
At a confrontational inter-bloc confab held in Hiroshima of Japan, they were treated as observers. It is needless to pay heed to the reason why they flied to south Korea, but their thoughtless behavior during the junket makes us reconsider the status of the European Union allegedly representing a pole.
No sooner had they set their feet on south Korea than they visited the demilitarized zone, during which they carried on Twitter such awful words "North Korea's nuclear weaponization is a threat to regional peace." At talks and joint press conferences, they said "European Union will not accept north Korea's possession of nuclear weapons as a normal thing as it does not tolerate Russia's invasion of Ukraine," not content with blaming Russia and China to copy what the U.S. does.
This only adds to the impression that today's European Union is just a passionate observer that is only good at copying others without its own way of thinking and principle.
As for the DPRK's status of a nuclear weapons state cited by them, we have never asked EU to recognize something about it as we don't feel the need to do so.
As we are accustomed to witnessing the present plight of EU becoming more and more divisive and dependent on the U.S. as days go by, EU had better get used to the status of the DPRK as a nuclear weapons state now.
This time the European rulers unreasonably pulled up the DPRK, saying that its bolstering of self-defence capabilities poses threat to the regional peace. This is just the most typical revelation of the present plight of EU which has lost its strategic independence almost completely as a result of its pursuance of the divisive U.S. pro-alliance policy.
They are keen on gaining the favor of the south Korean puppets, desperately turning a blind eye to the joint military exercises of aggressive nature still going on near the military demarcation line, let alone such threatening rhetoric against the DPRK daringly touted by the U.S. and its vassal forces as "end of regime", "beheading operation" and "occupation of Pyongyang." Such behavior highlights their hypocritical colors and wretched plight.
The EU, getting exposed to security crisis after the outbreak of the Ukrainian event while pressurizing Russia at the U.S. beck and call, is now extending their begging hand even to south Korea completely subordinated to the U.S. militarily and taking very unfair and prejudiced stand on the Korean Peninsula issue at the end of its desperate efforts for winning military support for Ukraine.
However, EU is seriously mistaken in its calculation to meet its interests by intermingling the issue of the Korean Peninsula with the issue of Ukraine and sharing security with the south Korean puppets.
It is not hard to imagine what would happen if the EU, which has its one leg already plunged into the Ukrainian slough, ties another leg to the U.S. war chariot dashing to the Korean Peninsula across the ocean.
EU had once been appreciated as an "impartial mediator" for maintaining objectivity and impartiality over the Korean Peninsula issue.
Now, EU has turned into a hanger-on neither recognized nor welcomed by anyone, for it has pursued utterly unbalanced Korean Peninsula policy.
EU seemingly seeks to defuse the present security crisis, brought by its blind pursuance of the U.S. policy of pressurizing Russia, by taking advantage of the hostile policy toward the DPRK. But EU should awake from such foolish dream.
The Korean Peninsula never welcomes the European gentlemen who incite confrontation and hostility.
EU should awake to the fact that if it blindly follows the U.S. hostile policy toward the DPRK as now, it will be held accountable for escalating tensions on the Korean Peninsula together with the U.S.
Genuine Spring Is Coming to Arab World: International Affairs Analyst of DPRK
Pyongyang, May 26 (KCNA) -- Jong Yong Rim, an international affairs analyst of the DPRK, released the following article titled "Genuine spring is coming to Arab world" on May 26:
The 32nd Summit of the Arab League was recently held in Saudi Arabia.
The meeting, attended by all its 22 member states including Syria after over 10 years, specially stressed the need to take concerted action so as to reject foreign interference in the region and ensure the stability and security of Arab and defend its interests. To this end, it took positive and relevant steps to resolve the regional issues, including the Syrian crisis, the Palestinian cause and the Sudan dispute, by its own efforts.
The meeting reflecting the regional countries' aspiration and enthusiasm for independence shows that the catastrophic consequences of the "Arab spring" brought by the U.S. and the West over ten years ago have finally begun to fade.
In December 2010, a demonstration of citizens was staged in a local city of Tunisia to demand the improvement of living conditions, which developed into violence urging the resignation of the president at the instigation of the U.S. and the West. With this case as a starting point, the "Arab spring" immediately spilled over into several countries like a malignant tumor.
Since the beginning of 2011, the "Arab spring" had swept Egypt, Libya and Yemen, resulting in the overthrow of legitimate governments in those countries. In March 2011, even Syria was plunged into great chaos and a long-term crisis began.
The Arab region, where the people had enjoyed peaceful and normal life, quickly turned into a theatre of confusion, disorder, conflict, confrontation and slaughter as a result of the revolution which is not a revolution, and the "Arab spring" which is not a spring, which was caused by the persistent behind-the-scenes control by the U.S. and the West to forcibly implant the "American outlook on value and democracy".
While resorting to such stereotyped method as "divide and rule", the U.S. sought to play down the Palestinian issue, the core of the Arab cause, by splitting Arab countries.
It has also been busy selling weapons to Arab countries in the Middle East under the spurious signboard of "security guarantee", while hyping up "threat" from Iran. As a result, the monopolistic profits of the U.S. have snowballed, but the division, friction, social instability and tension among the regional countries have festered to the maximum.
However, the U.S. unjust attempt to prioritize its interests and use the regional countries as a tool and shock brigade for carrying out its strategy for hegemony has faced stronger opposition from the regional countries as the days go by.
The recent meeting rejected foreign forces' interference in the regional issues including the Syrian crisis, the Palestinian cause and the Sudan dispute and decided to settle them by its own efforts in the light of its own interests. This eloquently proves that the "Arab spring" brought by the U.S. Middle East policy is falling into irreversible bankruptcy.
It can be said that the 32nd Summit of the Arab League was a significant occasion for informing the world of the fact that the "Arab spring", which actually served as a long winter inflicting only misfortune and pain, has finally ended thanks to the positive efforts of the regional countries, the driving force of the region, and that the spring of genuine peace and prosperity has just arrived.
No matter how desperately the U.S. may work to hold hegemony in the Arab region, it can never check the vigorous advance of the regional countries which have started their joint efforts for reconciliation and unity.
National Flag and Children in the DPRK
Children’s love for their national flag is growing day by day in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.
They like wearing clothes with the national flag emblazoned on them in everyday life. On national commemorative days and holidays you can see, wherever you are, children in pretty clothes flying the national flag.
The national flag reflected in the eyes of the younger generation flutters, promising a bright future of the country.
