Statement of Spokesperson for DPRK Foreign Ministry
Pyongyang, October 6 (KCNA) -- A spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry of the Democratic
People's Republic of Korea issued the following statement titled "NATO, a freak brought up
by U.S. extreme double logic and double standards, should be thrown into dump of history
as soon as possible" on Sunday:
NATO in its recent statement let loose a string of extremely unreasonable remarks that it
condemns all countries fostering and extending the Ukrainian war while groundlessly
slandering the independent cooperative relations between sovereign states including the
DPRK.
The publication of the statement timed to coincide with the visit by the new NATO secretary
general to Ukraine clearly shows that NATO is going to appear on the first-line trench of the
anti-DPRK confrontation front, not content with extremely taking advantage of its boss's
hostile policy toward the DPRK.
The Foreign Ministry of the DPRK expresses strong regret at the fact that NATO, no more
than a tool of the U.S. for war, slandered the intensified legal cooperation between
independent sovereign states while distorting the essence of the Ukrainian incident, and
resolutely denounces and rejects it.
Far from seriously repenting of its mistake in creating the Ukrainian incident, NATO, the very
one which exposed the security environment in the European region to the grave crisis called
outbreak of a nuclear war, is going to shift the blame for it onto others and justify its policy of
aggression. This is just the same as the shameless act of the U.S. engrossed in extreme
double standards and illogical way of thinking.
It is none other than the U.S. which is confusing right and wrong while insisting that its arms
buildup and war drills involving even its mainland forces aiming at a specified state in the
Korean peninsula are for "defending freedom" and the exercise of the right to self-defence
and essential defence activities taken by the DPRK to cope with them are for "threatening
peace".
NATO has been spending an astronomical amount of military expenses on the offer of lethal
equipment to Ukraine and openly inciting it to attacks on the Russian territory. However it is
taking up a gangster-like logic that their war acts are an effort for "preventing" war and the
establishment of normal relations between sovereign states is an act of fostering and
extending war, which is just like a guilty party filing the suit first and a bad habit disseminated
by the U.S.
We are strictly fixing our eyes on the reality in which a war monster called NATO that should
have disappeared from the arena of history along with the end of the Cold War last century is

stretching its black tentacles to the Korean peninsula and the Asia-Pacific region in order to
provide another justification in the wake of playing a war gamble called the Ukrainian incident
to find a justification for existence of itself stained with blood.
It is the biggest geopolitical tragedy that NATO, a product of the U.S. ambition for hegemony
which is based on the gangster-like double logic and double standards and has lived on the
escalation of tension and war moves, is still existent.
The provocative acts of NATO getting more undisguised on the Korean peninsula and in the
Asia-Pacific region according to the U.S. illogical thinking and scenario only bring into bold
relief the reason for its thorough death, not the additional justification for existence of the ill-
famed war specter.
If NATO continues to try hard to infringe upon the dignity, sovereignty, security and interests
of the DPRK while persistently pursuing hostile policy toward it, NATO blindly following the
U.S. will be held wholly responsible for the tragic consequences to be entailed by it.
The DPRK will continue to make important efforts to defend itself from the hostile threat of
the U.S. and its followers, preserve regional peace and security and build a multi-polarized
world based on international justice. -0-
