According to a report by the Korean Central News Agency on the 11th, a spokesman for North Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that recently, during the NATO summit, the US and its followers revealed their intention to plan a factional confrontation, damage the European security environment, and create an unstable situation in the Asia-Pacific region. The spokesperson said that the US-led NATO allies and their partners openly encouraged confrontation during the NATO summit, proving that NATO is a “war confrontation organization” that pursues exclusive geopolitical interests and moves against international peace on a global scale. The spokesperson also said that NATO should have disappeared with the end of the Cold War, but in order to maintain and strengthen its name, it recklessly promoted eastward expansion, systematically undermining the European security environment, shifting responsibility to other countries, and creating an unstable situation in the Asia-Pacific region. These acts of provocation must not be tolerated. The spokesperson stressed that North Korea will speed up the accumulation of strength to prevent confrontation attempts and military threats, and maintain national sovereignty, security interests, and regional peace and stability.
