Press Statement of Vice Department Director of WPK Central Committee Kim Yo Jong

2024.9.26.


Kim Yo Jong, vice department director of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea, released on Tuesday the following press statement titled "An abnormal object appeared at Pusan Port: U.S. strategic assets would not find their resting place in the Korean peninsula."

The Aerospace Reconnaissance Agency, an independent intelligence organ directly under the head of state of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, captured an abnormal object at a wharf, a subject of its constant attention at Pusan Port of the ROK at 10:03:10 on Monday and reported its reconnaissance data.

A nuclear submarine appeared on the wharf where a U.S. aircraft carrier used to moor at.

The latest nuclear submarine, which has never appeared openly since it was commissioned in 2020, made its appearance at the Pusan operation base for the first time in history. It can be hardly regarded as a "sightseeing voyage".

Given the U.S. has been demonstrating its overall strength recently while making public the "might" of its nuclear strategic assets in order, one can easily guess the true aim of the open portcall of the nuclear submarine which should have been concealed under the “surface of water.”

In June the U.S. forces launched Minuteman-3 intercontinental ballistic missiles twice and on September 18 they opened to the public the test-flight image of B-21 Raider, a next-generation stealth strategic bomber, for the first time.

The U.S. let the latest nuclear submarine of the U.S. Navy anchor in Pusan Port of the ROK, thus took out all its cards called "three nuclear strategic assets".

This clearly reveals the frantic military and strategic attempt of the U.S. hell-bent on intentionally demonstrating the "superiority of strength" before the world.

The U.S. is now experiencing unprecedented strategic inferiority in the Korean peninsula and the Asia-Pacific region and is very afraid of the reality in which the entity of the strong power of independence against the U.S. and the fortress for defending justice is beginning to make its appearance in the region.

Therefore, it is deploying all nuclear strategic assets in the Korean peninsula and its vicinity while cooking up various large and small military blocs in the region to contain the DPRK and independent sovereign states by force of arms and to "bind" the group of its followers who feel uneasy and impatient.

The Wilmington Declaration making the "nuclear threat" from anyone the subject of discussion was fabricated at the QUAD summit meeting held in Delaware State of the U.S. some days ago and the promise for the U.S.-Japan-ROK cooperation to cope with the so-called "ever-increasing nuclear threat" was made at the U.S.-Japan summit held on the same day. They are also typical products of the U.S. geopolitical sinister intention to politically and militarily encircle and stifle the DPRK and regional countries.

The U.S. latest nuclear submarine’s visit to the port of the ROK is a proof that the U.S. ambition to often take up nuclear strategic assets, boast of its strength, increase its threat to the rival and "enjoy" its hegemonic privilege by dint of its malicious strength at any cost is getting ever more extreme.

No matter how the U.S. may demonstrate its "overwhelming capability" by rising to the surface even a submarine whose mission is to mount a final nuclear strike under the sea, nothing will change.

The DPRK’s nuclear war deterrent to cope with and contain various threats from outside is bound to be bolstered up both in quality and quantity continuously and limitlessly as the security of the state is constantly exposed to the U.S. nuclear threat and blackmail.

The U.S. nuclear submarine’s call at Pusan Port may be a break time for the U.S. marines and a comfort for the U.S. stooges, but it can never be an object of fear in the face of the super-powerful entity standing over against the U.S.

The U.S. strategic assets will never find their resting place in the region of the Korean peninsula.

We will continue to inform that all the ports and military bases of the ROK are not safe places.

The U.S. is by no means a "pronoun of security".
