Press Statement of Kim Yo Jong, Department Director of C.C., WPK
Pyongyang, November 4 (KCNA) -- Kim Yo Jong, department director of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, released the following press statement on November 4:
As already mentioned, the continued hostile signal of the U.S. to our state compels the DPRK to reconsider the U.S. entity in various aspects.
The so-called "cryptocurrency hacking case by the DPRK" is no more than a tip of iceberg that shows the essence of the U.S. hostile policy toward the DPRK.
Recently, the U.S. again called for someone's "denuclearization" at a tripartite diplomatic gathering with Japan and the ROK and has set new records of anti-DPRK hostility day by day in all aspects of denuclearization, human rights, cyber, sanctions and military affairs, evidenced by the staging of joint military drills under various missions, the imposition of unilateral and multilateral sanctions and the publication of "Trafficking in Persons Report".
We do not regard the "Binance" hacking incident as any accidental and sudden case or isolated private scheme, but as an extension of Washington's invariable hostile policy toward the DPRK.
Clearly, the U.S. malicious attempt to get a political and strategic profit by abusing the case is producing a political side effect.
We have already and repeatedly clarified that the U.S. abandonment of its hostile policy toward the DPRK is a major premise and key to solving all problems, and in this context it is needless to say that the U.S. recent act is a clearly retrogressive one.
It is our clear stand that we have no need to sit face to face with such unreliable and hostile persons who refuse to abandon their policy of confrontation while talking about dialogue, prefer war drills and strengthening of military alliance to peace and evade respect for the sovereignty, rights and interests of the other party while preaching about improved relations.
To the hostile signals that the United States continuously sends, we do not know how to respond otherwise.
In the present reality when new records are being set in the implementation of the U.S. hostile policy toward the DPRK, it is natural that new records should be created in our reflective counteraction.
The choice for peace includes dialogue of course, but this is not surely equated with national interests for us. -0-
