According to a report by the Korean Central News Agency, on 6 June local time, Kim Yo-jung, vice minister of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, issued a statement, pointing out that the UN Security Council held a meeting at the request of the US "bandits" to separately deal with the launch of "military reconnaissance satellites" by the DPRK, and criticized some countries that blindly followed the US in condemning the DPRK and exposed their ugliness.

Kim Yo-jung said that only referring to North Korea's satellite launch is a "discriminatory and ignorant approach."

In her conversation, Kim Yo-jung said that this kind of "blind following the United States" and making a fuss about North Korea's exercise of sovereign rights at every turn is the most unjust, biased and interference in internal affairs, and she strongly condemned it. She also said, "It is really ugly enough to see that some countries that have joined the United States in condemning the riots indiscriminately and in droves to listen to the whistle of the United States." ”

She went on to say, "Individually, those countries have no reason or basis to oppose our security interests, let alone worry about our military reconnaissance satellites." If these countries think that blindly listening to the United States is beneficial to them, then I would like to remind them that the way to not surrender to the United States can both add glory to their country and ensure security is..."

Kim Yo-jung stressed that "the DPRK's launch of military reconnaissance satellites is a military threat against the United States and its servant forces that have crossed the red line, and the due countermeasures taken are the exercise of the legitimate defense right to safeguard sovereignty and territorial integrity." North Korea "will continue to take positive action measures to exercise all the legitimate rights of sovereign states, including the launch of military reconnaissance satellites."

Peace and security on the Korean Peninsula, she said, come from North Korea's strong self-defense forces, not resolutions concocted by U.S. "political tools." "We will always respond forcefully and will not hesitate to do what we have to do until the United States and its allies get bored and admit that their options are wrong."

Earlier, in response to the White House National Security Council's statement that "North Korea's launch of military reconnaissance satellites is a flagrant violation of UN Security Council resolutions, which risks exacerbating tensions and creating an unstable security situation in the region, and all countries should criticize North Korea's satellite launches", Kim Yo-jung asked: "Who is exacerbating tensions and creating complex and volatile security in the region?" ”

In response to South Korea and the United States accusing North Korea of violating UN Security Council resolutions by launching satellites, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Mao Ning responded at a regular press conference on May 5 that the current situation on the peninsula is clear and undesirable for China. The only way to prevent the situation from continuing to decline is for all parties to face up to the crux of the lack of a peace mechanism on the Korean Peninsula, restart meaningful dialogue in accordance with the "dual-track" approach, and resolve their legitimate concerns in a balanced manner.

At the open meeting of the United Nations Security Council on the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula on June 6, Geng Shuang, deputy permanent representative of China to the United Nations, said that in recent years, the United States has included the peninsula in the "Indo-Pacific strategy", continued military activities and greatly increased its military presence on the peninsula and surrounding areas, and seriously damaged the strategic security interests of the peninsula and neighboring countries. Just over a month ago, the United States and South Korea issued the Washington Declaration, saying that they would strengthen "extended deterrence" and even planned to send strategic nuclear submarines to visit the peninsula. The US approach ignores the concerns of other countries, completely serves its own geopolitical selfish interests, and insists on playing on and creating tension on the Korean Peninsula issue. The US approach is full of Cold War mentality, provokes camp confrontation, harms the strategic security interests of other countries, and runs counter to the goal of maintaining peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and promoting the denuclearization of the Peninsula.

Geng Shuang said: The current situation on the peninsula is tense, fragile, complex and sensitive. The more so, the more all parties must remain calm and restrained, avoid mutual stimulation, and prevent the situation from escalating or even getting out of control. The more this happens, the more all parties must pursue diplomatic efforts and political solutions to address their legitimate concerns through the resumption of meaningful dialogue. The more this happens, the more all parties must focus on the overall situation and the long term, and advance in parallel the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and the establishment of a peace mechanism on the Peninsula in accordance with the "dual-track" approach.
