Another UNSC’s "Sanctions Resolution" against DPRK Termed Illegal

The Foreign Ministry of the DPRK made the following report on September 13:

At a session of the UN Security Council held on September 12, the US and its followers cooked up another resolution to apply the harshest-ever sanctions against the DPRK, dubbing its ICBM-ready H-bomb test as a “threat” to international peace and security.

The DPRK vehemently condemns and rejects the UNSC’s “resolution 2375,” as the US-led forces concocted it by vicious and base means of every description and it is an outcome of their provocative acts aimed at depriving the country of its legitimate right of self-defense and suffocating it and its people through full-scale economic blockade.

The despicable “sanctions resolution” adopted at the instigation of the US has convinced the DPRK that the path of its own choice is right, making it harden its determination to follow the path invariably and at a faster pace.

As it has been made clear that the US is resorting to unprecedented sanctions-and-pressure schemes to check the DPRK’s advance, disarm it and vanquish it by wielding the nuclear stick, the DPRK will make redoubled efforts to be on an equal footing with the US in the practical balance of power, so as to defend its sovereignty and right to existence and ensure regional peace and security.
