DPRK statement on the US invasion of Grenada

Some statements issued by the DPRK at the time of the invasion of Grenada
The US launched the armed invasion against Grenada , an insland nation situated in the Caribbean Sea , with the involvement of thousands of paratroops and the Marine Corps on October 25.

Washington has employed every possible means such as economic blockade, downfall and sabotage to establish a pro-US puppet regime from long time ago, regarding Grenada that is pursuing independent and progressive policies as a thorn in its flesh.

The current situation prevailed in Grenada proves that the US imperialism is the most heinous and imprudent aggressor, the international gendarme and breaker of global peace.

The DPRK government and people, sharply denouncing the US armed invasion against Grenada as a wanton violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the people of Grenada and blatant challenge to the Caribbean region and global peace, extend full support and solidarity to the righteous struggle of the people of Grenada against US imperialism.

If US imperialism resorts to reckless aggression and war maneuvers against newly-emerging countries, despite of the strong denunciation of the governments of world peace-loving nations, will face serious blows.

US imperialism should give up military intervention and aggression acts and withdraw its troops from Grenada immediately.
