Press Statement of Kim Yo Jong, Department Director of C.C., WPK
Pyongyang, September 17 (KCNA) -- Kim Yo Jong, department director of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, issued the following press statement on Sept. 17:
Violation of UNSC resolutions, threat to international peace and security, complete and irreversible denuclearization, honouring of international obligation…
As expected, such a string of nonsense we have so much heard was let out at the 70th Session of the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) General Conference again.
They are all noises, not surprising and not new, as we can always hear them at this time every year, like the sounds from the automated teller machine.
Those who gathered to shout for changing the present position of our state should clearly understand what a foolish dream they have dreamed of and what a useless thing they are doing.
If they believe that it is really possible, they will be termed idiots knowing nothing of the world.
In fact, if there were no rogues behaving badly toward the DPRK, many countries would probably not need to waste time with empty talk but live in a safer and peaceful world.
No matter how loudly the IAEA and the West may cry out for denuclearization according to a ready-made script at their periodic meetings, they can have no impact on the determination and practical ability of the DPRK to take all necessary measures to defend the supreme interests of the state.
The DPRK's position as a nuclear weapons state is something immutable, never to be reversed with anything, and its powerful existence makes a significant contribution to deterring the outrageous acts of international rogues and ensuring peace and security.
No matter the rhetorical denial by the hostile forces, the reality, in which the nuclear-armed position of the DPRK has been permanently fixed physically and legally, can never change.
Nobody and nothing can ever reverse the crucial change in the strength and position of the DPRK and deter it in the future, too.
Spokesman for DPRK Ministry of National Defence Clarifies Stand
Pyongyang, September 16 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the Ministry of National Defence of the DPRK clarified the following stand through KCNA on Wednesday as regards the fact that the U.S. military and the ROK puppet army have more openly revealed their scheme for military confrontation with the DPRK recently, talking about response to someone's "WMD threat":
The U.S. forces and the warmongers of the ROK puppet army on Sept. 10 held a meeting of the WMD response committee, at which they agreed to set up an information-sharing system to cope with "potential WMD attack" by the DPRK, enhance the joint counteraction capability and intensify joint counteraction training.
What should not be overlooked is that the U.S. and the ROK called for strengthened joint defense posture, the keynote of which is to use military muscle against the DPRK, hyping someone's "WMD threat".
This is an open declaration of confrontation to make the use of nuclear and biochemical weapons against the DPRK in case of contingency on the Korean peninsula a fait accompli and accelerate the war preparations for its execution. It is also a grave move of aggravating the situation to push the danger of the use of WMDs to extremes.
The U.S. and the ROK got familiar with the procedures of "WMD response" during the recent large-scale joint military exercises Freedom Shield. This time they agreed to intensify the training involving nuclear and biochemical weapons again. This fact goes to prove that the enemy's plan to use WMDs has entered an extremely reckless phase.
The U.S. stated in its past "strategy for coping with WMDs" that it would establish a joint force capable of fighting in a nuclear and biochemical warfare environment and increase its investment in the research and development of WMDs under the pretext of "threat" from the DPRK and other sovereign states. This provides full explanation for the confrontational design and ultimate goal pursued by them.
In recent years, the U.S. has set up a network of 30 biological weapons research institutes in the territory of Ukraine and established biological laboratories in its military bases in the ROK. Furthermore, it has been intensifying military biological activities and biochemical weapons development in over 200 different parts of the world. It has also specified in the bill on national defence right for fiscal 2026 that it would spend hundreds of millions of dollars for the development, test, maintenance and operation of biochemical weapons.
Such situation goes to prove that the rumor about someone's "WMD threat" spread by the U.S. is nothing but an ill-intended pretext to cover up its development and proliferation of WMDs.
Such a threat of WMD attack and use by the enemy against the DPRK may be considered a crucial security challenge that requires the latter to invoke the relevant provision of the law on the state nuclear force policy.
I recommend that the U.S. correctly interprets the meaning of the invoking of the relevant provision and accepts it as a grave warning.
The armed forces of the DPRK will always keep track of the new military attempts of the U.S. and its allied forces, regularly assessing their threat to its national security.
Int'l Security Affairs Analyst on Washington's Moves to Expand Nuclear Submarine Alliance
Pyongyang, September 16 (KCNA) -- Choe Ju Hyon, an international security affairs analyst of the DPRK, released the following article "Washington's moves to expand nuclear submarine alliance - an absolute factor of disturbing global nuclear security":
Washington is getting more pronounced in the nuclear proliferation moves with the approach of the fifth anniversary of the AUKUS, the U.S.-led exclusive nuclear security technology alliance that threatens the foundation of the international nuclear non-proliferation system.
Recently, the U.S. naval chief executive made remarks intended to instigate Japan and the ROK to possess nuclear submarines, saying that Japan with atomic power plants has been already possessed of technology, the basis of nuclear submarines, and that the ROK needs to set the purpose of possession of nuclear submarine with its characteristics of distant navigation as a premise and so it is wrong to purchase it symbolically.
This is another telling evidence showing eloquently who is the major chieftain of the worldwide nuclear proliferation.
The U.S. has already put the AUKUS, the nuclear submarine proliferation matrix, to the fore, increasing the danger level of nuclear proliferation by geometrical progression, to ensure the practical application of the "America first" that resorts to all sorts of means and methods in disallowing "dominance" and "seizure" of other countries over strategically important regions.
The U.S. made the confrontational address of AUKUS clear through the sale of nuclear submarines and transfer of nuclear technology to Australia, joint development of deep-sea unmanned submarine, and regularization of various kinds of joint military exercises among member states. And it is trying to generalize the experience to the ROK, Japan and other allies. Such dangerous behavior is raising serious concern from the international community
Seoul suggested to Washington the issues of securing enriched uranium for nuclear fuel and revising the "U.S.-ROK Nuclear Agreement" for the acquisition of the right to enrichment intended to carry on its nuclear submarine building plan. And the rulers of Tokyo have unreservedly advocated the theory of possession of nuclear submarines. The reality goes to prove that Washington's plan for "AUKUS 2.0", which allows the transfer of nuclear technology for munitions to non-nuclear allies, has entered the phase of full-scale expansion.
The reckless acts of the ROK and Japan seeking access to nuclear submarines show what dangerous extent the U.S. military adventurism to contain its rival states in the Asia-Pacific region by setting up its allies as shock brigades has reached.
The U.S. outwardly calls for defence of the nuclear non-proliferation system, but inwardly seeks to unhesitatingly offer nuclear attack means to its junior allies for handsome profit. Such hypocritical behavior of the U.S. is nothing but a cheap trick to cover up its criminal trace of nuclear proliferation.
The NATO-style nuclear sharing model and its variant U.S.-ROK "Nuclear Consultative Group" and the U.S.-Japan "extended deterrence dialogue" are in normal operation. This reality clearly shows the harmful aftereffect of the U.S. dangerous nuclear proliferation on the global security environment.
The U.S. continued irresponsible and malicious practice in the nuclear field is the top risk factor accelerating the erosion of the international nuclear non-proliferation system, and this more strongly highlights the need for our state to bolster up its nuclear war deterrent means both in quality and quantity without the slightest stagnation and stalemate.
The international community should make a fair and uncompromising assessment of the U.S. scheme to bring about a catastrophic nuclear domino happening while getting keen on the nuclear proliferation in different parts of the world, and make concerted and responsible efforts against it.
