U.S. Secretary of State's Remarks Slammed by DPRK Foreign Ministry

Pyongyang, June 30 (KCNA) -- A spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea gave the following answer to a question raised by KCNA on June 30 with regard to the "2017 Trafficking in Persons Report" published by the U.S., in which it took issue with the DPRK:

The U.S., unanimously condemned by the international community as the world's worst wilderness of human rights and kingpin of human trafficking crime, again talked nonsense about the fabricated situation of "trafficking in persons" of other countries, behaving impertinently as if it were a "human rights judge".

In particular, the U.S. Secretary of State Tillerson nowadays keeps making abusive remarks about the DPRK whenever he opens his mouth and this time he uttered malicious words such as "forced labor" about the DPRK workers who are serving abroad under the legal contracts with respective countries.

This fully shows to what extent the reckless maneuvers of the Trump administration have gone in its attempt to isolate and stifle the DPRK.

The U.S. secretary of state will only earn the fame of an ignorant person who has completely lost the sense of reality if he thinks they can frighten the DPRK with the "human rights" racket and the game of sanctions.

The ragtag team of Trump including Tillerson may vociferate about "human rights" until their throats go sore and cling desperately on to the sanctions campaign, the DPRK simply regards it as the last-ditch effort by those in their last breath and as a shriek of fear by those who are scared of the power of the DPRK that grows with each passing day.

The Trump team should learn a due lesson from the Obama group that took a crushing blow when they impudently attempted to offend the supreme dignity of the DPRK, trumpeting about the "human rights".

The U.S. should clean its own filthy land, the den of evils, where all sorts of crimes including murder, mugging and human trafficking are rampant, instead of running foolish and amuck to preach the world with the bunch of rubbish titled "Report on Trafficking in Persons" that they fabricate every year with so much zeal and energy.

The army and people of the DPRK are vigilantly following the morbid confrontational hysteria of the Trump team, which is growing reckless against the DPRK, and are fully determined to mercilessly sweep away all the gang of evils including Tillerson.

The U.S. would be well advised to behave with discretion for its own good. -0-
