N. Korea will use nuke arsenal if attacked by US, S. Korea: Envoy | North Korea's Ambassador to Cuba, Kwon Sung Chol, has warned that his country would use its nuclear arsenal if attacked by either the United States or South Korea. "If Washington and Seoul try to create a conflict on the Korean
Peninsula, we will respond with a holy war on the basis of our nuclear deterrent
forces," Xinhua quoted Kwon, as saying at a ceremony marking the 50th anniversary
of diplomatic relations between Cuba and the DPRK. "Our government will strive
for the denuclearisation of the peninsula and the establishment of a lasting peace
as the beginning of the reunification process of the two Koreas," he added. He
further warned that despite facing obstacles from the United States and South
Korea, North Korea would achieve reunification with the support of peace-loving
peoples, like Cubans. Referring to the sinking of South Korean warship 'Cheonan'
in March, Kwon urged the people of North Korea and Cuba to strengthen support
and solidarity between the two nations. Kwon also thanked former Cuban President
Fidel Castro for his public warning on the incident that it could unleash a major
conflict in the area. "His articles are an encouragement to our people, who fight
against the imperialism," the DPRK diplomat said. Earlier, South Korea blamed
North Korea for the sinking of 'Cheonan', but the latter rejected the accusation
and proposed to send an inspection group to the south to verify the evidence.
Seoul, however, rejected that proposal. |
