The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) has stressed that the United States is the biggest sponsor of terrorism with a wide record of human rights violations and illegal military intervention in other countries, thus it doesn’t have the right to assess other countries counter-terrorism efforts.
In a statement reported by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) on Tuesday, the DPRK’s Foreign Ministry said that the United States, which is well-known of being the biggest criminal state in the world and the biggest terrorism sponsor, gave itself the right to assess the counter-terrorism efforts of other countries, including the DPRK, in complete disregard to the international community and in a new boring farce.
The ministry clarified that “the United States shamelessly described these countries as not fully cooperating as if it were a terrorism judge.”
The ministry said that the successive US administrations have ignited many wars in the world, including in the Korean Peninsula, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq and other countries. The US military intervention in other countries constitutes a wide-scale act of state terrorism that killed and wounded tens of millions of civilians, the ministry added, pointing out that Washington has also masterminded major terrorist operations and assassinations that targeted officials and individuals in many countries in the sixties of seventies of last century.
The ministry’s statement also said that US gang practices have fueled terrorism around the world, represented in terrorist organizations such as ISIS, which was created as a result of the so-called “American anti-terror campaign”.
