North Korea had stated that the Biden administration had taken a wrong first step, that they revealed the “deep-seated hostility” by their criticism of its self-defensive missile test.
North Korea had launched a new type of tactical short-range missile, Joe Biden comments how the test violates UN Security Council resolutions and is still open to diplomacy with Pyongyang.
Secretary of the North’s ruling Worker’s Party’s Central Committee, Ri Pyong Chol, tells sources that the test was self-defensive against threats posed by the U.S. and South Korea with joint military exercises and weapons that are advanced.
He says to KCNA news agency, “We cannot but build invincible physical power for reliably defending the security of our state under the present situation in which South Kore and the United States constantly pose military threats,”
“We express our deep apprehension over the US chief executive faulting the regular testfire, exercise of our state’s right to self-defense, as the violation of the UN “resolutions” and openly revealing his deep-seated hostility.”
He says that Washington might “face something that is not good” if Biden continues with his “thoughtless remarks, [an] undisguised encroachment on our state’s right to self-defense and provocation.
“We are by no means developing weapons to draw someone’s attention of influence his policy. I think that the new US administration obviously took its first step wrong.”
The Biden Administration is facing accusations of “exploiting every opportunity” to provoke North Korea by branding it as a “security threat,”
The test came right after Anthony Blinken, US Secretary of State, vowed to help work on denuclearizing North Korea, criticizing its “systemic and widespread” abuse of human rights while he was in Seoul with Lloyd Austin, Defense Secretary.
North Korea continues to slam down U.S. and South Korea joint exercises which had completed last week, even though they were supposed to facilitate denuclearization talks with Pyongyang.
Ri tells sources that Washington had a “gangster-like logic” in order to bring strategical nuclear assets to South Korea, help test missiles at its convenience when North Korea is banned from even testing a tactical weapon.
