But it responded to the DPRK&#8217;s planned satellite launch with the announcement to stop following through on its commitment to food aid. This would be a regrettable act of scrapping the DPRK-U.S. agreement in its entirety as it is a violation of the core articles of the February 29 DPRK-U.S. agreement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">The DPRK extended invitation to satellite experts to visit the launching station to show the sincerity of the DPRK as regards the peaceful satellite launch in a transparent manner. But the U.S. clarified that it would not send its experts and also forced other countries not to send one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">This stands in sharp contrast to its previous insistence that the DPRK should accept inspectors of the International Atomic Energy Agency to ensure the transparency of its nuclear activities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">What the U.S. fears is the objective confirmation of the peaceful nature of the DPRK&#8217;s satellite launch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">It has its own political and military objective in describing the DPRK&#8217;s satellite launch as a long-range missile launch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">By describing the DPRK&#8217;s &#8220;long-range missile capabilities&#8221; as a &#8220;threat to the U.S. mainland&#8221;, the U.S. seeks to justify its missile defense system, which is opposed by all the countries in Northeast Asia, and use it as a pretext for pressing forward the MD.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">The path chosen by the U.S. would harass peace and stability in Northeast Asia including the Korean Peninsula and spark off fresh cold war.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">The DPRK has not yet reached such a point as to discuss the severity and gravity of the consequences to be entailed by the U.S. wrong option.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">It just hopes that the U.S. would courageously accept peaceful satellite launch by a sovereign state, though belatedly, and prove in practice its words that it has no hostility toward the DPRK.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#0000ff;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kcna.co.jp\/item\/2012\/201203\/news31\/20120331-24ee.html\"><span style=\"color:#0000ff;\">Fuente<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pyongyang, March 31 (KCNA) &#8212; A spokesman for the Foreign Ministry of the DPRK gave the following answer to a question raised by KCNA Saturday..<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":38698,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21,84,97],"tags":[322,197,226],"class_list":["post-11894","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-international","category-statements","category-us-news","tag-democratic-peoples-republic-of-korea","tag-imperialism","tag-imperialist-war"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/redphoenix.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/North_Korea_11894_7a0eb.png?fit=558%2C549&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/redphoenix.news\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11894","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/redphoenix.news\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/redphoenix.news\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redphoenix.news\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redphoenix.news\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11894"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/redphoenix.news\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11894\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redphoenix.news\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/38698"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/redphoenix.news\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11894"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redphoenix.news\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11894"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redphoenix.news\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11894"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
