DPRK's Will to Strive for Building Nuclear-free World Reiterated
Pyongyang, September 30 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the DPRK Foreign Ministry gave the following answer to a question put by KCNA on Wednesday as regards the recent summit of the UNSC member nations:

Heads of state of the UNSC member nations met in New York on September 24 to discuss the issues of nuclear nonproliferation and nuclear disarmament and adopted UNSC Resolution 1887 on building "a world without nuclear weapons."

What matters is that this resolution, too, is a double-standards document as it failed to fully reflect the desire and will of the world community as a whole.

As a matter of fact, the summit should have called into question and dealt with the U.S. nuclear threat and the reality in which peace and stability are being seriously disturbed in different regions due to the above-said threat.

It is a prerequisite to global denuclearization for the country with the biggest stockpile of nukes to reduce and eliminate them.

The recent resolution deals with the unilateral demands of the nuclear powers to be met by other countries while disregarding the important realistic issues. It is, therefore, nothing but a sinister scheme of the nuclear powers to maintain the sphere of their domination through their nuclear monopoly under the signboard of global denuclearization.

The DPRK was compelled to have access to nuclear deterrent in order to protect the supreme interests of the country and the regional peace and security in face of the high-handed and arbitrary practices to violate the right to peaceful development of the Korean people who have been exposed to the U.S. nuclear threat for more than half a century.

It has already totally rejected the resolutions the UNSC unreasonably cooked up over its legitimate measures for self-defence.

The DPRK's dismantlement of nuclear weapons is unthinkable even in a dream as long as there exist the sources that compelled it to have access to nukes.

Moreover, it is unimaginable to expect the DPRK return to the NPT as a non-nuclear state as it failed to play any role in preventing the U.S. forward-deployment of nuclear weapons in south Korea and its growing nuclear threat to the DPRK and has been abused for serving the purpose of the U.S. policy to isolate and stifle the DPRK.

We totally reject UNSC Resolution 1887, too, as it is peppered with the hegemonic ambitions of nuclear powers and will not be bound to it at all.

President Kim Il Sung advanced an idea of denuclearizing the Korean Peninsula and building a world free from nuclear weapons long ago. And it is the desire of the Korean people to live in a peaceful world without nuclear weapons.

We will make efforts to denuclearize the peninsula in the context of the building of a world free from nuclear weapons and the U.S nuclear policy toward the DPRK in the future, too, as in the past.
