Kathmandu. Foreign Affairs Ministry of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) has remarked the UK, France, and Germany followed the footstep of the USA.

This was mentioned in a statement issued by the Spokesperson of the DPRK Ministery of Foreign Affairs on Saturday responding to a “joint statement” of the UK, France, Germany, Belgium, and Estonia on March 5 denouncing the drill of the DPRK army.

The DPRK Ministery of Foreign Affairs states, “As widely known to the world, the UK, France, and Germany have followed in the footsteps of the U.S. to take the lead in denouncing us since May 2019, while repeating an absurd argument of “condemnation” and “violation of resolutions” of the UN whenever we conducted military drills.”

The spokesperson of the ministry stated that the routine drills of their army were just the same as those conducted by any country of the world. He expresses dissatisfaction, however only the DPRK military drills were becoming the subject of weird countries to be denounced every time. He describes this as no more than a logic of trying to make the socialist country compel to give up our right of self-defence.

“The UK, France, and Germany are taking issue with our military acts in each and every case, only because they cannot speak it out”, the statement quotes, “If even a routine drill of multiple launch rocket system artillerymen should be a target of condemnation and alleged “violation of resolutions”, then with what do we hold in check the military forces of the U.S. and South Korea in front of us and how do we defend our state.”

Full text of the Statement issued by the Spokesperson of the DPRK Ministry of Foreign Affairs:

At the end of the UN Security Council emergency meeting held on last March 5, the UK, France, Germany, Belgium and Estonia announced a so-called “joint statement” denouncing the drill of our army.

As widely known to the world, the UK, France and Germany have followed in the footsteps of the U.S. to take the lead in denouncing us since May 2019, while repeating an absurd argument of “condemnation” and “violation of resolutions” of the UN whenever we conducted military drills.

The routine drills of our army are just the same as those conducted by any country of the world. However, only our military drills are becoming the subject of weird countries to be denounced every time. In the end, it is nothing more than a logic that we should give up our right to self-defence.

The UK, France, and Germany are taking issue with our military acts in each and every case, only because they cannot speak it out.

If even a routine drill of multiple launch rocket system artillerymen should be a target of condemnation and alleged “violation of resolutions”, then with what do we hold in check the military forces of the U.S. and South Korea in front of us and how do we defend our state.

They should put forth an argument to be understood by everyone and convinced especially by us to demand observance. If they blindly call our self-defence acts into question as now, it is, in the long run, tantamount to asking us to abandon the defence of our own state.

The illogical thinking and sophism of these countries are just gradually bearing a close resemblance to the U.S. which is hostile to us.

The reckless behavior of these countries instigated by the U.S. will become a fuse that will trigger our yet another momentous reaction.
