Pyongyang, August 24 (KCNA) -- The spokesman for the DPRK Skiers Association issued the following statement Saturday:
The construction of the world's leading Ski Resort on Masik Pass is
progressing apace at a final stage in the DPRK. It began last year
according to the determination and plan of the Workers' Party of Korea
to provide the people, youth and children with highly civilized and
happy living conditions and make them enjoy all blessings.
The construction of ski courses was completed, all projects
including the construction of hotel, service building and lodging
quarters are nearing completion and a sure guarantee has been provided
for finishing the construction of the ski resort within this year.
But some countries recently blocked the import of cableway equipment
for the ski resort, pursuant to UN "sanctions". This is a very abnormal
case.
By origin, the DPRK did not recognize the UN "resolutions on
sanctions" against it but "resolutions" say what is needed for economic
construction and people's living should not be subject to sanctions.
Cableway equipment for the ski resort does not produce any rocket or nuclear weapon.
If the governments of some countries consider that ordinary
inhabitants of the DPRK should not be allowed to use the ski resort, it
is an unpardonable insult to its social system and people.
The U.S. and its followers are very displeased to see grand
monumental edifices springing up in the DPRK one after another and its
prestige rising higher than ever before. They are working hard to put
the brake on this development at any cost.
Some countries, pressurized by the U.S. high-handed practices, are
blocking the DPRK from importing even equipment to be installed in mass
sports facilities such as the ski resort. This is a wanton violation of
the UN Charter clarifying that sanctions should not impose sufferings
and damage on the peaceful existence and activities of mankind and the
people in relevant countries.
Such base act can never be justified. -0-
