nsnbc : Addressing the 7th Congress of the Workers’ Party of Korea (WPK), the head of State Kim Jong-un, assured that the Democratic Peoples’ Republic of Korea would not resort to using nuclear weapons unless the country’s security was challenged by a nuclear-armed attacker. Earlier, the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea (CPRK) released a statement recommending that the South Korean administration of Park Geun-hye tone down the attempts to pressure Pyongyang into nuclear disarmament.

The Swiss-educated leader of North Korea (DPRK), Kim Jong-un, stressed that Pyongyang will seek to normalize relations with States that are hostile towards it. Kim also stressed that Pyongyang would adhere to the principles of non-proliferation and that it would never attack anyone first; Not with conventional, and not with nuclear weapons. The DPRK’s State news agency KCNA quoted Kim Jong-un as saying that:
“(Pyongyang) will improve and normalize the relations with those countries which respect the sovereignty of the DPRK and are friendly towards it, though they had been hostile toward it in the past. … As a responsible nuclear weapons state, our Republic will not use a nuclear weapon unless its sovereignty is encroached upon by any aggressive hostile forces with nukes. … (The DPRK) will faithfully fulfill its obligation for non-proliferation and strive for global denuclearization.”
Kim also reiterated that the DPRK continues its development along the principle of self-reliance. The country has since Kim came to and then consolidated his power undergone tentative but well-planned economic reforms, increased the number of foreigners like Vietnamese who are working in the country, launched economic reforms, and sent more North Koreans abroad for studies than ever before. Kim aimed at a far greater economic development which, however, was obstructed by sanctions that were enforced on it by all of the P5 in 2013. A previous article dealt with why China, Russia and the USA each had their particular motives to throw a spanner into the DPRK’s economic development.
The country’s development of rocket and satellite technology is according to many of the more well-informed analysts driven more by the recognition that the country needs to develop technologically and stand on its own feet than by the perceived need to posture as a nuclear power.
The philosophy behind Pyongyang’s development of nuclear weapons is largely identical with Beijing’s philosophy; namely, that nuclear weapons are a paper tiger and a necessary evil to rid the world of nuclear weapons and to prevent wars of the same magnitude as the two world wars or the last Korean war. The development of space and satellite technology has many other than military utilities. Satellite technology could, for example, greatly help to further increase the yield of the country’s agricultural sector.
On Thursday the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea (CPRK) issued a statement that, despite its usual, for some westerners unusually “bombastic-sounding” language aimed at sending a peace signal to South Korea. The CPRK advised that the group around South Korean President Park Geun-hye, if they really want to find a creative solution to the nuclear issue on the Korean peninsula, would be well advised to consider several key factors.
Among them, that they should study again the main reasons why the nuclear issue was spawned on the peninsula to begin with. To resolve any issue one should know its origin, noted the CPRK. The other point Park Geun-hye should properly understand why the DPRK had gotten access to nuclear weapons and that the DPRK did so because of the U.S. and its followers’ open nuclear threat to the DPRK. Thirdly, the Park group should have the idea of dealing with the DPRK, well aware that it will remain unchanged in its status as a nuclear weapons state possessed of even H-bomb, regardless of whether one recognizes it or not.
