Pyongyang Lashes Out at Obama ‘s Statement against DPRK’s Nuclear Warheads Explosive Test

Pyongyang, (ST)-The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) has criticized the US President Barack Obama’s statement in which he branded the DPRK’s nuclear warheads explosive test as a “threat” and “provocation” to peace and security and “ignorance” of the international norms of practices, a spokesman for the Foreign Ministry of the DPRK said on Sunday, stressing DPRK’s determination to continue to take measures for increasing its nuclear force.

  The spokesman added that Obama also said in his statement that he will never acknowledge the DPRK as a nuclear weapons state but will cooperate with the international community to take additional crucial measures.

“The Obama group has gone foolish in its moves to incite an atmosphere of putting pressure and stifling the DPRK and to cover up its failed DPRK policy by branding the DPRK as the harasser of peace,” said the spokesman.

“Obama is trying hard to deny the DPRK’s strategic position as a legitimate nuclear weapons state but it is as foolish an act as trying to eclipse the sun with a palm, the spokesman stressed.

According to the spokesman, the nuclear warheads explosive test was a demonstration of the toughest will of the DPRK that showed it is ready to counterattack the enemies if they make a provocation as it was part of the substantial countermeasures to the threat of a nuclear war and sanctions racket kicked up by the hostile forces including the U.S.

 We are holding fast to the line of simultaneously developing the two fronts to safeguard the sovereignty, right to existence and peace from the ever-increasing nuclear threat and blackmail of the U.S., and the recent test was just part of the whole course of implementing the line.

 Scientists and technicians of the Nuclear Weapons Institute of the DPRK successfully conducted a nuclear explosive test for judging the power of nuclear warheads, the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported  

The ministry spokesman went on to say that “the U.S. is the very one which compelled the DPRK to develop nuclear warheads, and its nuclear threat and blackmail that have constantly been posed to the DPRK almost every day for the past decades have been an engine which pushed the DPRK to reach this point.”

 It is foolhardy for the Obama group to get itself busy while crying out for the senseless sanctions ballad even today when its “strategic patience” policy became totally bankrupt and it is nearing the end of its tenure, the spokesman said.

He concluded by stressing the DPRK’s determination to continue to take measures for increasing its nuclear force in quality and in quantity to safeguard the dignity and the right to existence of the DPRK and ensure genuine peace from the U.S. increasing threat of a nuclear war.
