North Korea accuses US on misleading world opinion on denuclearization

Pyongyang, May 7: Sighting the major reconciliation between North Korea and South Korea, North Korea also went on to declare to take back and stop any further nuclear site test. North Korea accused the US of misleading world opinion by saying that Pyongyang’s commitment to denuclearization on the Korean Peninsula was the outcome of international sanctions and pressure.

 

Ministry of North Korean Foreign Affairs official cited that Washington is deliberately provoking Pyongyang despite the improvement of the situation on the Korean Peninsula. the US is misleading public opinion, arguing as if Pyongyang clarification of its intention for denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula made through the Panmunjom Declaration adopted at the historic North-South summit is the result of so-called sanctions and pressure.

North Korea slammed United States for saying that it would not ease the sanctions and pressure until North Korea gives up its nuclear weapons completely. The US is also moving to aggravate the situation on the Korean Peninsula by deploying strategic assets on the Peninsula and increasing its attempt of taking up the ‘human rights’ issue against Pyongyang.

Warning the United States, North Korean Foreign Affair Ministry said that if Washington miscalculates the peace-loving intention of the DPRK as a sign of weakness and continues to pursue its pressure and military threats against the latter, it would be counter-effective to addressing the nuclear issue on the peninsula.

North and South Korea issued a joint declaration on April 27, saying the two sides are committed to the goal of denuclearization on the Korean Peninsula, during a historic summit meeting between Kim Jong Un and South Korean President Moon Jae-in.
