The US and its followers are now making crafty attempts in the United Nations (UN) to misuse the humanitarian aid to the DPRK for their ulterior political purpose.

Following is the typical example of it. In the UN General Assembly and UN Security Council (UNSC), they are misleading the public as if our country is faced with “humanitarian crisis” by the cut-off of the outside assistance in the wake of the closure of border over a long period of time. They are also pretending to be interested in “humanitarian aid”, harping on about “cooperation without preconditions”.

The US and its followers have been in a frenzy to isolate and stifle us politically, economically and militarily. But, all of a sudden, they have turned themselves into “humanitarians” talking about “aid”. This makes us suspicious about what their real intention is.

As has already been known, the US has never recognized our sovereignty, taking the DPRK as an enemy state since the very day of its founding. And it has openly been hostile to socialism chosen by our people.

The US has annually staged war drills of all kinds on the Korean peninsula and its surrounding land and seas for the past several decades, and threatened us by frequently deploying many of its military hardware in south Korea.

In recent years alone, the US and its followers took issue with our self-defensive measures and viciously attempted to adopt additional “sanctions resolutions” in the UNSC. They also openly laid bare their dangerous attempt to overpower us militarily by providing “extended deterrence” with nuclear weapon as its core.

In regard of such behaviour of the US, the international society is now raising its voice that the US must take practical actions to withdraw its anti-DPRK hostile policy rather than paying lip service to “dialogue without preconditions” and “diplomatic engagement”.

The US is clamouring for so-called “humanitarian assistance” while getting overheated in anti-DPRK isolation and pressure. It is aimed at escaping criticism from the international society levelled at it.

The US and Western countries, the biggest failed states in anti-epidemic measures, are saying this or that about other’s anti-epidemic policy. But it is sheer folly of those accustomed to justifying themselves by picking on others.

Life safety and well-being of the people stand as the top priority for the DPRK government. Thanks to its pre-emptive and scientific anti-epidemic policy, our country set the longest record of zero case in the world anti-epidemic history. Even in the current emergency, it has stably contained and controlled the spread in such a short period.

If the US and its followers cling to their vain scheme to mislead the public by turning black into white, they will end up with their shabby looks being exposed to the international society.

The US and Western countries should strain their nerves to clean up their own mess of holding the unquestioned lead in the number of infected and dead cases of COVID-19, rather than busying themselves with producing a clumsy farce by letting loose an empty talk of “humanitarian aid”.
