"The U.S. should stop the acts of threatening peace and security on the Korean Peninsula, falsifying the truth of history, immediately disband the 'UN Command' and replace the Korean Armistice Agreement with a peace treaty," the group said in a statement.
The statement also said the U.S. move to seek to expand the "UN Command" which should have been disbanded long ago according to the UN resolution, was "a criminal act of challenging the sacred mission of UN and human conscience.
If Washington continued to strengthen the "UN Command" and step up its hostile moves against the DPRK, it would only suffer its "international isolation and destruction," it warned.
Pyongyang in January proposed discussing a peace treaty with the relevant countries within the frame of the six-party talks to replace the Armistice Agreement that ended the 1950-1953 Korean War. |
