The Fundamental Danger from the US and Its Vassal Forces

Dear friends,
Warm greetings from Pyongyang!
 
As you may know, the 5th Session of the 14th Supreme People’s Assembly of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) is being held in Pyongyang, the capital city of the DPRK, from Sept. 28, and Comrade Kim Jong Un, president of the State Affairs of the DPRK, made a historic policy speech “On the Orientation of Present Struggle for a Fresh Development of socialist Construction” at the second-day sitting of the Session.

Clarifying the policy of the DPRK government in order to dynamically promote the new development of socialism as required by the changing objective and subjective situation, Kim Jong Un pointed out the standpoint of the DPRK on current inter-Korean relations, situation of the Korean peninsula and the external relations.

He outlined and assessed the present inter-Korean relations still locked in insecure and grave deadlock and the situation of the Korean peninsula before clarifying the policy towards the south at the present stage.

He said that different military drills and arms buildup under the pretext of ‘containing’ of the DPRK have become conspicuous in south Korea and dishonest remarks and behaviors getting on our nerves and provoking us regardless of time have been heard from it.

Noting that the south Korean authorities are bent on begging external support and cooperation while clamoring for international cooperation in servitude to the U. S., he said that as regards the issue of declaring the termination of war proposed by south Korea recently, though the termination of war is declared, hostile acts would be continued and, therefore, unexpected different clashes repeated, arousing the anxiety of all the fellow countrymen and international community only, as long as there remain factors, the apple of distrust and confrontation between the north and the south, intact.

It is the invariable demand repeatedly explained by us to ensure the respect or each other and withdraw the partial view, unfair and double-dealing attitude and hostile viewpoint and policies towards the other side before declaring the termination of war, and this is an important task to be settled beforehand in order to control the inter-Korean relations and open up a bright future, he noted.

It is important for the south Korean authorities to change its confrontational and habitual attitude toward our Republic, keep the stand of national independence through practices, not with words, deal with the inter-Korean relations with a view to settling the essential matters and give weight to and sincerely implement the north-south declarations, he stressed.

He expressed the intention to see to it that the north-south communication lines that had been cut off due to the deteriorated inter-Korean relations are restored first from early October as part of the efforts for realizing the expectations and desire of the entire Korean nation to see the earlier recovery of the north-south relations from the present deadlock and durable peace settling in the Korean peninsula.

Saying that there now exist not a few serious crises and challenges facing the world but the fundamental danger comes from the U.S. and its vassal forces’ high-handed and arbitrary practices that destroy the foundation of international peace and stability, he noted that the current international situation is mainly characterized by the fact that it has got more complicated as the structure of the international relations has been reduced to the structure of “neo-Cold War” due to the U.S. unilateral and prejudiced bloc-forming style external policy.

Pointing out that the U.S. remains utterly unchanged in posing military threats and pursuing hostile policy toward the DPRK but employs more cunning ways and methods in doing so, as proven by the deeds done by it over the past eight months since the emergence of its new administration, he said that the U.S. is touting “diplomatic engagement” and “dialogue without preconditions” but it is no more than a petty trick for deceiving the international community and hiding its hostile acts and an extension of the hostile policy pursued by the successive U.S. administrations.

He urged to put primary efforts into the work for proactively coping with the international political situation and the surrounding environment that get more and more unstable while providing tactical measures for thoroughly implementing the strategic policy of the DPRK government toward the U.S..

He affirmed that the DPRK government will as ever develop its good neighborly relations with all the countries in the world that respect its sovereignty and are friendly toward is, and fulfill its responsibility and role in the struggle for preserving peace and stability of the Korean peninsula.

Availing ourselves of this opportunity, we are fully convinced of that you would pay due attention to national reunification and ensuring of peace on the Korean peninsula, and render invariable support and solidarity to the just cause of the Korean people as ever.

Once again we wish you a good health amid the ongoing COVID-19 crisis.

Yours faithfully,
