Pyongyang, June 13 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the DPRK Foreign Ministry
Friday gave the following answer to the question put by KCNA as regards
the U.S. accusation against the DPRK's satellite launch for peaceful
purposes:
The U.S. State Department let its senior advisor on strategy and
communications cry out for international pressure on the DPRK, terming
its satellite launch a violation of the UNSC "resolutions" which ban all
lift-offs by use of ballistic technology.
The U.S. accusation against the DPRK over its just and legitimate
satellite launch under the pretext of violation of the "resolutions" is a
wanton infringement and challenge to its sovereignty.
The DPRK's satellite launch for peaceful purposes is inviolable as
it is an exercise of a legitimate independent right of a sovereign state
publicly recognized by international law, which is above UNSC
resolutions.
Among UN member states the U.S. is the only country which takes the
lead in taking issue with the DPRK's legitimate satellite launch,
another example clearly proving the U.S. extreme hostile policy toward
the latter.
The U.S. asserts that all its satellite launches are legitimate but
the DPRK's all satellite launches are illegal. This robber-like
insistence is the height of the U.S.-style double standards and a
revelation of ill-intentioned inveterate repugnance toward the DPRK.
The DPRK's status as a satellite manufacturer and launcher can never
change no matter how desperately the hostile forces negate it, and its
space development is not something which can be given up because of
someone's opposition.
It is the firm resolution and will of the DPRK to push back the
frontiers of latest science and technology in the field of space
development, too, in order to protect the self-esteem and dignity of the
nation.
The U.S. and other hostile forces will have no alternative but to
watch the DPRK's satellites soaring into the outer space one after
another till they will come to realize how illegal and foolish their
attempt to check the DPRK's legitimate satellite launches by dint of the
above-said "resolutions" is. -0-
