It was on the 9th of October 2006 , that truly earth shattering news broke; the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK ) conducted its first ever nuclear test . The Korean Central News Agency (KCNA ) released the following report ; “The field of scientific research in the DPRK successfully conducted an underground nuclear test under secure conditions on October 9,2006 at a stirring time when all the people of the country are making a great leap forward in the building of a great prosperous powerful socialist nation.
It has been confirmed that there was no such danger as radioactive emission in the course of the nuclear test as it was carried out under a scientific consideration and careful calculation.
The nuclear test was conducted with indigenous wisdom and technology 100 percent. It marks a historic event as it greatly encouraged and pleased the KPA and people that have wished to have powerful self-reliant defence capability.
It will contribute to defending the peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and in the area around it”
The US imperialists and other enemies of the DPRK were truly gobsmacked ! People’s Korea had done it ! The first nuclear test was a fiery act of defiance against US imperialism as well as is a powerful blow against globalisation. The DPRK had defied neighbouring countries who at the time were opposed to the DPRK’s development . The DPRK’s first nuclear test was an amazing achievement . The DPRK had constructed a nuclear weapon using its own resources and techniques without help from anyone else.
The DPRK’s nukes are a treasured sword for defending its independence and defending socialism .
The 2006 nuclear test in the DPRK was followed by nuclear tests in 2009 , 2013 , 2016 and 2017. Later the DPRK ‘s nuclear status was legally defined by the Law On The State Policy On The Nuclear Forces of the DPRK which was passed in September 2022 . Later the DPRK’s nuclear status was enshrined in the Constitution. The DPRK’s nuclear status is now irreversible .
The development of nuclear weapons and the testing of them by the DPRK was and is very necessary to defend itself from US imperialist aggression . The real author of the nuclear issue on the Korean peninsula was none other than the United States which introduced nuclear weapons into south Korea in 1957 , nearly 50 years before the DPRK carried out its first nuclear test ! The US stationed 1,000 nuclear weapons in south Korea . Supposedly , they were withdrawn in the early 1990s but later the US send it could “neither confirm or deny “ the withdrawal of such weapons .
The US threatened to use nuclear weapons against the DPRK during the Fatherland Liberation War (Korean War ) and the US considered a nuclear first strike against the DPRK during the Korean War of 1950-1953 , during the “Pueblo Incident ‘ of 1968 and the Panmunjom incident of 1976 and other occasions . The US designated the DPRK a target of a US nuclear first strike in 2002. So it was logical for the DPRK to decide to have its own nuclear weapons.
The past experience of the DPRK had shown it was pointless to rely on other countries for defence . Early on the DPRK had put forward the policy of developing the economy and defence in parallel so that they would not be reliant on others for defence .
Today , the US , ROK , Japan and the UK all clamour for the so-called denuclearisation of the DPRK which of course would leave the DPRK defenceless and result in the overthrow of the socialist system and the colonisation of the DPRK by the US and ROK . However this will not happen because the DPRK has been a nuclear power for 20 years now and the DPRK’s nukes are here to stay !
