North Korea accuses the US of creating tension in region
by Joseph Earnest February 28, 2013
Newscast Media SEOUL—Iran's semi-official news outlet Fars News Agency reported that North Korea is accusing the U.S. of causing instability between the North and South. North Korea is facing further UN sanctions for its underground nuclear test explosion two weeks ago, its biggest and most powerful to date which prompted warnings from Washington.
"The US is to blame for the situation on the Korean peninsula which
is inching close to an unpredictable phase now," So Se Pyong, North
Korea's ambassador to the UN in Geneva, told the UN-sponsored Conference
on Disarmament.
"The US should no longer be allowed to seriously infringe upon the
independent right of the DPRK to use space for peaceful purposes nor
should it be allowed to abuse the UN Security Council as a tool for
executing its hostile policy toward the DPRK," he added, using the
acronym for the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
"The third nuclear test was carried out as part of the practical
countermeasures for defending the country's sovereignty and security to
cope with ruthless hostile behaviors of the US, which wantonly infringed
upon the DPRK's legitimate right to satellite launch for peaceful
purposes," So said.
