 The British Group for the Study of the Juche Idea and  the  Korean Friendship Association of the UK  KFA  UK )  , issued a joint statement in support of the press statement of comrade Kim Yo Jong department director of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea , which was titled  "The U.S.-led regular war rehearsals constitute the main source of ever-worsening situation of the Korean peninsula and the region"  that was issued on the 18th of September;

Comrade Kim Yo Jong in her statement highlights the fact that the US have been continuing with war exercises against the the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK ) including the Pacific Vanguard exercises in the waters around Guam .The exercise included not only the US , Japan and the puppet ROK but also Australia and New Zealand both satellite states of US imperialism . This is an important fact that needs to be broadcasted as widely as possible to make people aware of it .

This year there has been an unprecedented number of US led multi-national war exercises around the Korean peninsula such as Cobra Gold, the joint air drill Pitch Black, the largest-ever joint naval drill RIMPAC involving a number of NATO member states in Europe and the joint military drill Super Garuda Shield which was staged in parallel with Pacific Vanguard.

All this goes to show that the US is sharpening the sword of aggression against the DPRK , hoping to drag other countries into its plans , and is gearing up for a confrontation with different countries in the region .

Comrade Kim Yo Jong stresses that "The regular U.S.-led war rehearsal is the main source of ever-worsening situation in the Korean peninsula and the region."

However the increasing military pressure of the US cannot achieve its aims because the DPRK will strengthen its deterrent power and increase its capabilities  . Comrade Kim Yo Jong points out that "The present situation, in which new records are set in terms of practical action hostile toward the DPRK, stresses the need to break records in our responsive action, proportional or more offensive in its nature"

It is a good thing that the DPRK is committed to increasing its defensive power . 

We salute the just stand of the DPRK to defend itself against the ever-increasing US threat and the threat from the satellite states of US imperialism.

Press Statement of Spokesperson for DPRK Foreign Ministry

Pyongyang, September 19 (KCNA) -- A spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea released the following press statement on Friday:

The hostile forces cooked up and made public a "resolution" against the DPRK at the 70th Session of the IAEA General Conference on Sept. 17.

In the "resolution", they picked quarrel with the DPRK's legitimate and self-defensive exercise of sovereignty, arguing that the DPRK cannot have nuclear weapons under the NPT, they express serious concern over the DPRK's sustainable nuclear activities, and all nuclear weapons and nuclear programs should be abandoned in a complete, verifiable and irreversible way.

The DPRK has not been a member of the NPT and the IAEA from long ago and, therefore, it is illegal and the height of impudence to talk about the position of our state and its efforts to bolster up the defence capabilities.

The DPRK's position as a nuclear weapons state does not need the recognition of the U.S., the West and the IAEA. It is guaranteed by the actual nuclear deterrent and irreversibly and permanently fixed by the supreme law of the state.

Pitifully, the "resolution" cooked up by the U.S. and the West has no effect on the DPRK's position as a nuclear weapons state.

No matter how desperately the hostile forces may try to deny our constitutional position in and around the IAEA, the position of the DPRK as a nuclear weapons state, which is permanently and absolutely settled by the law, is irreversible.

It is the DPRK's invariable line of national defence to more offensively implement its strategic and long-term plans for building reliable self-defensive deterrent to cope with the ever-worsening international security environment.

As a responsible nuclear weapons state, the DPRK will as ever firmly defend the sovereignty and fundamental interests of the state and thoroughly guarantee peace and security in the region and the rest of the world by deterring all challenges and threats from outside by overwhelming force. -0

Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un Guides Work of Defence Industry

Pyongyang, September 19 (KCNA) -- Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and President of the State Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, learned about the production at major munitions industrial enterprises from September 16 to 18.

He was accompanied by Vice-Chairman Pak Jong Chon and member Kim Jong Sik of the Central Military Commission of the WPK, Yu Chang Son, director of the Artillery Bureau of the General Staff of the Korean People's Army, and Ri Pyong Chol, Ri Il Hwan, Kim Yo Jong, Kim Jae Ryong and O Yong Jae, who are cadres of the Central Committee of the WPK, and leading officials in the sector of defence science research.

Comrade Kim Jong Un learned in detail about the production of each enterprise.

In hearty response to the decisions of the Ninth Congress of the WPK, the major munitions industrial enterprises turned out in attaining the new year's production goals. They are steadily increasing the revolutionary enthusiasm and making upsurge in production, recording high results every day.

Comrade Kim Jong Un warmly encouraged the working class who are reliably stepping up the radical growth of our munitions industry and its more independent and advanced development through their energetic and devoted labour struggle, always full of revolutionary zeal.

He expressed great satisfaction over the fact that the major munitions industrial enterprises are fulfilling their plans for the production of combat equipment on the most important indices of urgent military significance in a responsible manner without fail and, as a result, the huge plans issued by the Party Central Military Commission are being successfully carried out one by one.

He appreciated the major munitions industrial enterprises for carrying on without an inch of deflection the projects for expanding the production capacity assigned by the Party to meet the requirements of the all-round plan for reorganizing and modernizing the artillery combat force of our army.

Stressing that the fulfillment of this year's production plans is most essential in attaining the new Five-Year Plan aimed at fresh progress and leap forward in the building of a powerful army and the defence industry, he said that the major munitions industrial enterprises should continue to consolidate the current trend in production and dynamically and simultaneously conduct a series of technical infrastructure reinforcement for promoting the long-term munitions production plans.

He said that the building of a powerful artillery force is the core for deterring and fighting war, adding that our artillery should have the most concentrated and destructive, massive and versatile offensive capability and responsibly perform the two missions of deterring and fighting war. He stressed that the achievements made by the DPRK in all fields to modernize all components of the national defence capability including artillery are meaning a significant change in the composition and means of our armed forces and their plan for countering a war. Stating that the enemy's military systems would be gradually damaged and useless by action of the irresistible might which we have already possessed or will soon possess, he said that the munitions industrial enterprises at all levels under the Second Economy Commission should play a bigger role in carrying out the strategic policy of the Party on building the most powerful army and the country's munitions industry should be further expanded and strengthened.

He said that the production success at the major munitions industrial enterprises is not merely significant for increased production but it is of weighty significance as it is undoubtedly a product of the will and efforts of the working class to defend our sovereign security, and this is a great contribution for the state.

Stressing that major munitions industrial enterprises have a very pivotal role to play in steadily augmenting the country's war deterrent and war-fighting capability, he encouraged them to vigorously continue their patriotic production drive for steadily equipping our army with the most powerful and overwhelming strategic strength.

He clarified important policy-oriented tasks for the enterprises' production and management, including the issue of steadily accelerating the expansion of production capacity and the modernization of technical processes, raising the level of artificial intelligence of offensive and defensive combat weapon systems and putting the armor and automation of artillery weapons on a higher stage and the issue of bettering the conditions and environment for production.

Comrade Kim Jong Un expressed expectation and belief that all the officials, technicians and workers serving at important core factories would continue to fully display their inherent creation spirit and fighting spirit and thus powerfully propel the radical strengthening of our armed forces. -0-

Press Statement of Kim Yo Jong, Department Director of C.C., WPK

 

Pyongyang, September 18 (KCNA) -- Kim Yo Jong, department director of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, issued the following press statement "The U.S.-led regular war rehearsals constitute the main source of ever-worsening situation of the Korean peninsula and the region" on Sept. 18:

The frantic military moves of the U.S. to destroy the balance of power in the Asia-Pacific region have profoundly negative impact on the situation of the Korean peninsula and the region.

Shortly ago, the U.S. staged the joint multinational naval drill Pacific Vanguard 2026 with Japan, the puppet ROK and other satellite forces in the waters near Guam.

During the war rehearsal, various naval training for U.S.-centered anti-warship, anti-air and anti-submarine warfare was staged intensively for more than ten days. This was another threatening "war game" invented by the U.S. for inter-camp confrontation in the region.

When it launched the first round of Pacific Vanguard in 2019, the U.S. did not conceal the confrontational nature of the drill, asserting that the drill is aimed at "effectively and cooperatively responding to various incidents that may occur in the region" and, the number of the countries involved in it is on the steady increase.

This is a part of the U.S. political and military design to prolong its hegemony by relying on the military strength of the exclusive camp in the Asia-Pacific region where there are many big powers regarded as its major rivals.

In fact, the U.S. realizes more keenly with the lapse of time that the reorganization in the relations of forces in the Asia-Pacific region is very unfavorable to the actualization of its ambition for hegemony.

Much upset by the fast-changing mechanical structure in the region, the U.S. seeks to pressurize other countries and expand the sphere of its military power by frequently staging big and small military exercises involving its vassal forces.

This year alone, many U.S.-led multinational military drills were conducted in the Asia-Pacific region, including the joint multinational drill Cobra Gold, the joint air drill Pitch Black, the largest-ever joint naval drill RIMPAC involving a number of NATO member states in Europe and the joint military drill Super Garuda Shield which was staged in parallel with Pacific Vanguard.

The above-said drills were also staged under the pretext of "enhancing capability for jointly coping with marine threats" and "checking joint operation capability in environment of complex air operation". All facts cast light on the sinister purpose of joint military drills.

In particular, Japan and the ROK have always joined such military training together and this unpleasant fact suggests that the U.S.-led bellicose military moves are being intensified with the U.S.-Japan-ROK tripartite military cooperation system in full operation as an axis.

The gravity of the U.S.-led multinational military maneuvers is further highlighted by the stark reality that the primary target of the U.S.-Japan-ROK triangular military cooperation is the DPRK.

The regular U.S.-led war rehearsal is the main source of ever-worsening situation in the Korean peninsula and the region.

Such deplorable situation prevailing in the region, where the vicious cycle of escalating tensions is repeated due to the reckless provocative moves for hegemony of the U.S. seeking to put the region under their control through power concentration, reminds us more clearly of the things we should do.

In my personal opinion, it is inevitable that outsiders' greater threat to our national security makes our physical power grow stronger ceaselessly in a corresponding manner.

And all the unstable environments "provided" by the enemies are proving the validity and scientific accuracy of the DPRK's defence policy and emphasizing the inevitability of the steady upgrading of our national defence capability.

In some aspects, it can be said that the enemies give us good "help".

The present situation, in which new records are set in terms of practical action hostile toward the DPRK, stresses the need to break records in our responsive action, proportional or more offensive in its nature.

We are well aware that this is necessary.

Our will to defend our sovereignty will be expressed in clearer action and there will be never ever change in the course of intensifying the nuclear war deterrence.

I remind the enemy once again that if it is judged that the supreme interests of our nation and its military sovereignty and security environment in the region have been seriously violated by their military maneuvers, the armed forces of the DPRK will invoke the relevant provisions true to their constitutional obligations and mobilize all means available to cope with it. -0-
