Pyongyang, June 13 (KCNA) -- The attention of the international community is now focused on the DPRK's nuclear capability. It is the unanimous comment that the DPRK was compelled to have access to nukes due to the U.S. constant threat and the nuclear force of the DPRK cannot but be bolstered up unless those countries concerned strive hard to defuse the tension on the Korean peninsula.

Such views were expressed by experts of different countries on the Korean affairs. Alexandr Vorontsov, section chief of the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, recently said, when interviewed by the broadcasting service Sputnik, that the U.S. is pushing the DPRK to the action to bolster up nuclear force.

He went on: "Since long before the DPRK has proposed the U.S., Japan and south Korea many times for productive dialogue. However, all proposals for resuming dialogue were neglected and turned down. Under this situation the DPRK cannot but interpret all the U.S. 'peace declarations' as nothing but fig-leaf to cover up its sinister intent.

Therefore, the DPRK has no other choice but to focus on increasing the defence capability. To this end, the DPRK is bolstering up its nuclear deterrence, among other things." This is an objective and fair observation. A British expert on Korean affairs in an article dedicated to the UK paper Guardian asserted that north Korea's access to nukes is an established fact and north Korea will never give up its nuclear program, adding diplomacy is the only way for settling the nuclear issue of north Korea.

2 It was known that the U.S. Department of Defense in an annual report in 2008 termed the DPRK nuclear weapons state, creating a stir. It was reported recently that the bill on national defense right now under discussion at the U.S. Senate contains an expression that the DPRK is a "nuclear weapons state," sparking sensation. There is opinion in the U.S. about whether its Congress began to recognize north Korea as "a de facto nuclear weapons state". There are even assertions that the nuclear issue of north Korea should be dealt with after recognizing it as "a de facto nuclear weapons state."

In the final analysis, this means the DPRK's access to nukes became an established fact long ago and the international community recognized the DPRK as a nuclear power standing against the U.S. nuclear blackmail and threat, no matter who recognizes it or not.

The above-said facts prove with added clarity that the DPRK was quite just when it insisted on the stand that nuclear weapons have to be countered in kind and that the nuclear stick of the aggressors must be broken with a treasured nuclear sword of justice. -0-
