A representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) of the Republic of Korea stated on March 11 to the Central Telegraphic Agency of Korea (KCNA) that the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is “seriously concerned” about the actions of the United States and Israel against Iran and condemns their military intervention.
The representative said: “Attempts to destroy the political regime and violate the territorial integrity of the countries concerned, interference in their internal affairs, open statements about attempts to overthrow regimes and other rhetorical threats and military actions should in no case be allowed, but should be condemned and rebuffed by the whole world.”
The representative also noted that the DPRK Foreign Ministry respects the right of Iranians to elect a new supreme leader and their choice.
On March 1, North Korea strongly condemned the U.S. and Israeli military operation against Iran, accusing Washington and Tel Aviv of pursuing selfish interests. The republic’s Foreign Ministry called on the countries of the Middle East to make every effort to stabilize the situation and return to peace and referred to U.S. actions as “despotic violence.”
