A spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) issued the press statement titled "The most depraved country in the world is not entitled to take issue with other countries" on February 2.
The press statement reads as follows:
The U.S. Secretary of State Rubio, in a recent interview with a media, talked nonsense by terming the DPRK a "rogue state" while enumerating the foreign policy of the new U.S. administration.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the DPRK deems the U.S. State Secretary's hostile remarks to thoughtlessly tarnish the image of a sovereign state as a grave political provocation running counter to the principles of international law based on the respect for sovereignty and non-interference in other's internal affairs and strongly denounces and rejects them.
What he said is nothing new, when we take into account Rubio's political inclination or the U.S. inveterate repugnance for the DPRK. It would be rather more surprising if he said something nice about the DPRK.
Yet it is still necessary to note on how absurd and illogical it is for the most depraved state in the world to label the other a rogue state.
The hostile words and deeds of the person in charge of the U.S. foreign policy served as an occasion of confirming once again the U.S. hostile policy toward the DPRK which remains unchanged.
Rubio's coarse and nonsensical remarks only show directly the incorrect view of the new U.S. administration on the DPRK and will never help promote the U.S. interests as he wishes.
We will never tolerate any provocation of the U.S., which was, is and will be hostile to the DPRK, and will keep on taking tough due counteraction.
