“If the US persistently pursues its anachronistic hostile policy toward the DPRK (North Korea) this way, this would only entail unimaginable consequences quite contrary to what the US desires,” the North Korean Foreign Ministry said in a statement carried by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).
“Hostile” sanctions would “only heighten the spirit of self-reliance and increase the strenuous efforts” among workers of North Korea’s weapons industry and boost the amount of resources for arms manufacturing, the statement added.
The statement also urged respect for “the peace treaty with the US in order to put an end to the hostile policy,” which it said was “the root cause of all problems.”
