He referred to the Key Resolve and Foal Eagle joint military exercises staged by the U.S. forces and south Korean puppet army from March 1 to April 30.

The DPRK headed by the dear respected Kim Jong Un took self-defensive measures, considering the military drills as nuclear war drills aimed to severely threaten its sovereignty, he said.

The U.S. is trying to put south Korea under its military control and stamp out all progressive forces, he said.

He resolutely condemned the war policy of the U.S. imperialists against the DPRK. He called upon the world public to join in the struggle against the U.S. moves for invading the DPRK.
