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.
