Syria Condemns US-South Korean Military Exercises Targeting Democratic Korea

DAMASCUS– Syria on Thursday strongly condemned the US-South Korean joint military exercises and media campaigns targeting Democratic Korea, SANA reported.

“Syria has been constantly following the latest developments in the Korean peninsula, mainly the continued US-South Korean military exercises and the pressure targeting the resilience of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and its right to legitimately defending itself against the threats it is being subjected to by the United States of America and its regional allies,” an official source at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates told SANA in a statement.

 Voicing Syria’s strong condemnation of these exercises and pressure, the source reiterated Syria’s “support to the people and brave leadership of Democratic Korea.”

“Syria calls on everybody to keep the danger of war away from the Korean peninsula and commit to establishing security and stability at the regional and international levels,” the source said.
