Pyongyang, August 6 (KCNA) — A spokesman for the Foreign Ministry of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea released the following press statement on August 6:
Germany announced on August 2 that it joined the UN Command, a multinational aggression mechanism led by the U.S.
The UN Command is an illegal mechanism for aggressive war that the U.S. faked up by abusing the name of the UN to drag the armed forces of its vassal states into the Korean War ignited by it in 1950.
The DPRK Foreign Ministry strongly denounces Germany’s entry into the UN Command, regarding it as an act of wrecking peace and stability on the Koran peninsula and aggravating the situation.
The 30th session of the UN General Assembly in 1975 adopted a resolution on dissolving the UN Command in accordance with the unanimous will and demand of the UN member states desirous of peace and stability on the Korean peninsula.
The U.S. is attempting to revive the function of the UN Command which should have been extinct in the last century. This is aimed at turning the UN Command into the second NATO of Asian version by dragging its allies and thus militarily deter the DPRK and its neighboring countries.
Germany’s improper act is again reminiscent of its inglorious past in which it plunged mankind into the bloodbath of the Second World War and inflicted untold misfortune and pain upon mankind in the last century.
Germany should bear in mind that its military intervention in the Korean peninsula, the biggest hotbed in the world, will act as a vicious factor in keeping up its security and image.
Germany’s entry into the UN Command is clearly not helpful to maintaining peace on the Korean peninsula and the rest of the region but an act which has a serious negative effect on the development interests of the DPRK.
The present ever-escalating military confrontation on the Korean peninsula demands the DPRK take more thorough measures for bolstering up its self-defensive capabilities to defend the sovereignty, security and interests of the state.
The DPRK Foreign Ministry notifies in advance that Germany’s entry into the UN Command will inevitably aggravate the military and political situation on the Korean peninsula and the rest of the region, and that Germany will be held wholly responsible for all the consequences arising therefrom. -0-
