DPRK Missile Administration Tests New, Important Combat Weapon System
Pyongyang, September 22 (KCNA) -- The Missile Administration of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea successfully tested a new-type weapon, which is of great significance in the rapid technological development of weapon systems, on September 20.
The test did not have any adverse impact on the security of neighboring countries.
It is an extension of the regular activities of the DPRK Missile Administration and its defence science research institutes aimed at implementing the national defence policy.
Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and President of the State Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, oversaw the test.
Saying that the test was undoubtedly a striking demonstration of ultra-modern defence technology and clear progress in the modernization of the armed forces, he stressed that it represents the irresistible might.
To acquire such a technology is of weighty significance in the state's readiness for war and the future development of the armed forces, he said, adding that the enemy will know better what such progress means without any explanation in the aspect of military technology. He affirmed that such reality would give the enemy an incurable headache and a very cruel and unavoidable blow.
Today's success is the priceless fruit brought by a special think tank of the sci-tech forces involved in development of the important weapon system for a specific purpose and their sincere efforts, he said, expressing thanks to the Missile Administration and its defence science institutes and working groups.
Press Statement of DPRK Foreign Ministry Spokesperson
Pyongyang, September 21 (KCNA) -- A spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea released the following press statement on Monday:
The foolish behavior of the U.S. and the West is again sparking off criticism and ridicule of the world as they have openly ignored the principles of international law with respect for sovereignty and non-interference as the core and sought to save the structure of sanctions and pressure on the DPRK from its total bankruptcy.
Recently, the U.S.-led "multilateral sanctions monitoring team (MSMT)" cooked up and announced a "report" pulling up the beneficial and routine economic cooperative relations between the DPRK and other countries and thus vividly revealed its true colors as a plot-breeding organization which distorts normal as abnormal and brands legal as illegal.
The MSMT is a ghost group lacking any legality in the justification and purpose of existence. Its illegal act committed under the signboard of implementing the UN "resolution" is just a violation of the UN Charter and international law and a mockery of the international community.
The U.S.-led isolated minority group has never been given the mission and authority to act on behalf of the UN, and "resolutions" against the DPRK cooked up by the UN Security Council wantonly violating the sovereignty and the rights to development of a sovereign state have never been recognized by the DPRK.
What the MSMT, made up of pseudo experts addicted to the compilation of sanctions, has done is nothing but to devise all sorts of conspiracy theories under the U.S. command, and there is no room for discussion about the reliability and objectivity of such documents they have produced.
The DPRK's relations of exchange and cooperation with other countries cannot be subject to interference or investigation of a third party in any case as they are the exercise of legitimate rights under bilateral and multilateral treaties and agreements.
The UN Charter stipulates as one of the main purposes of the UN to develop friendly relations among nations on the principle of equality and self-determination, and the declaration on the principles of international law on friendship and cooperation among nations under the UN Charter, adopted as Resolution 2625 of the UN General Assembly, specifies that any country or group of states has no right to interfere in the internal affairs and external affairs of other countries.
What should be questioned and rejected in the present international relations are bad behaviors of the U.S. and the West openly conducted worldwide, in contravention of the purpose and principle of the UN Charter which disallows the use of and threat by force against the political independence and territorial integrity of any country.
No matter how zealously the U.S. and the West resort to chop logic, it is unchangeable that the MSMT is no more than a political tool for ensuring their specific interests and pressurizing sovereign states.
No matter what new document of sanctions the hostile forces may cook up and no matter what semblance of "legality" they may give to their illegal conspiratorial organization, they cannot break the steadfast will of the DPRK to thoroughly defend its core interests and grow stronger nor check its constant development trend.
The DPRK, as in the present so in the future, too, will never tolerate the malicious attempt of the hostile forces to bind and obstruct the state development and normal and reciprocal cooperative relations of independent countries but will strongly counter it and thoroughly defend the dignity and development interests of the state.
