Pyongyang, April 7 (KCNA) -- Jang Kum Chol, first vice-minister and director general of the Tenth Department of the DPRK Foreign Ministry, issued the following press statement "The true colors of the ROK, the most hostile enemy state, can never change":

The department director of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea made public a press statement related to the ROK on Monday night.

Voices of Chongwadae and various circles in the ROK analyzing it are really something to see.

If the ROK side lets out nonsense, regarding the rapid response from our government as an "exceptional friendly response" and a "quick mutual confirmation of intentions by the top leaders," this will also be recorded as world-startling fools' "hope-filled dream reading"

The thematic core of the press statement was a clear warning.

As for the press statement of the department director of the Party Central Committee, she evidently gave a witty warning to the ROK with very short and gentle sentences and expressions.

As they have a bad ear and cannot understand, I would like to awaken them to the true meaning of the press statement I read.

"You did something good. If you want to live safely, you should candidly admit your sin like this. It is, indeed, beyond my imagination that there is such a quite frank man in a pack of brazen-faced ones. You should prevent recurrence if you want to be secure. You will have to pay dearly if you persist in rash acts before us. Do not irritate us if you want to live in comfort." This is the main idea of the press statement I read.

While referring to the so-called "resolution" cooked up a few days ago by the UN Human Rights Council, Department Director Kim Yo Jong told me today that those of the ROK are little short of the dogs affected by mange that blindly bark to the tune of neighboring dogs. She also asked me whether her last night's press statement was interesting.

Of course, I replied to her that the ROK side's "hope-filled dream reading" was very interesting.

The identity of the ROK, the enemy state most hostile to the DPRK, can never change with any words or conduct. -0-
