Pyongyang, April 29 (KCNA) -- The spokesman for the Foreign Ministry of the DPRK issued the following statement on Tuesday:
U.S. President Obama toured Japan, south Korea, Malaysia and Philippines from April 23 to 29.
As warned by the DPRK of the danger of his junket on April 21, it
was clearly confirmed that Obama's tour was a dangerous one as it was
aimed to bring dark clouds of more acute confrontation and nuclear arms
race to Asia.
Obama proved in practice that the U.S. hegemonic "strategy for
rebalancing" in the Asia-Pacific region is being pushed forward in real
earnest.
In Japan he officially declared for the first time as U.S. president
that islets of dispute between China and Japan come within the scope
of the application of the U.S.-Japan security treaty, thus confirming
that it is natural for the U.S. forces to interfere in case of military
conflict between China and Japan. He also supported Japan's readiness to
exercise the right to collective self-defense though it is censured by
regional countries for attempting to call back the departed soul of
militarism.
After flying into south Korea he agreed to postpone indefinitely the
transfer of the right to command wartime operations by the U.S. forces
present in south Korea and build a missile shield with the south Korean
puppet forces involved. He went the lengths of blustering that "the U.S.
would not hesitate to use military force to protect its allies and
their lives."
In Philippines he signed a new military agreement which calls for
regularly dispatching U.S. forces to Philippines and jointly using their
base, etc.
Facts clearly prove that his tour was designed for undisguised
confrontation to retain a tighter grip on allies of the U.S. and
encircle and contain its rivals in Eurasia, pursuant to the U.S.
Asia-Pacific strategy for domination and scenario for aggression from A
to Z.
The danger of his Asian junket found a more vivid manifestation in the issue of the Korean peninsula.
Before his tour the U.S. kicked off together with south Korean
puppet forces the largest-ever war maneuvers aimed to "occupy
Pyongyang", the military exercises to apply the "tailored deterrence
strategy", the scenario for preemptive nuclear attack on the DPRK.
Such being a hard fact, Obama, touring Japan and south Korea, cried
out for harsher "sanctions", "pressure" and did not rule out the use of
military force, labeling the DPRK's inevitable steps for self-defence
"provocation" and "threat".
Not content with this, he did not conceal his inveterate repugnancy
toward the social system of the DPRK, describing it as a "forsaken
state" and jabbering its pursuance of the program to develop nuclear
weapons would leave it further isolated.
He also uttered that the denuclearization should be placed on the
agenda of dialogue but, in actuality, he flatly denied dialogue for
discussing something.
By doing so, he declared before the world that the U.S. hostile
policy toward the DPRK remains unchanged, the U.S. tries to bring down
the DPRK by force and it began to carry out such scenario.
The DPRK had already advised the Obama administration to coolly
ponder over whether its hostile policy toward the DPRK is in the final
interests of the U.S. or not.
However, he declared that the U.S. seeks to ignite a nuclear war on
the Korean peninsula to realize its Asia-Pacific strategy, thereby
throwing his initiative to build "a world without nuclear weapons" into a
wastebasket and making the prospect of realizing the denuclearization
of the Korean peninsula gloomier.
He will have to pay for this in the mid-term parliamentary election due in November this year.
During his tour he took much pain to bring the U.S. allies closer to
it, vociferating about someone's "provocation" and "threat," but failed
to reap desired results.
On the contrary, he openly revealed the hegemonic nature of the
"strategy for rebalancing" in the Asia-Pacific region only to spark off
strong rebuff of his rivals from the very outset and arouse great
concern worldwide.
His reckless acts only escalated the danger of confrontation and
conflict in the Asia-Pacific region and gave further momentum to the
opposition to him.
The Obama group is making desperate efforts to prop up the position
of the U.S. as "the only superpower" on decline in the Asia-Pacific
region but it is too late.
What remains to be done by the Obama group is to watch what kind of
seeds of fire sown by him this time would develop into flames that may
affect the U.S.
The DPRK will advance along the road of bolstering up nuclear
deterrent, unhindered, now that the U.S. brings the dark clouds of a
nuclear war to hang over the DPRK.
There is no statute of limitations to the DPRK's declaration that it
will not rule out a new form of nuclear test clarified by it in the
March 30 statement.
This is the exercise of the inviolable right to self-defence. -0
