The Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) sent an open letter to political parties of different countries on Sept. 24.

In the letter the WPK Central Committee extended friendly greetings to those political parties struggling for peace and security of the world and social development and wellbeing of the peoples.

Recalling that the chairman of the DPRK State Affairs Commission declared he would surely and definitely make the U.S. chief executive pay dearly for the remarks in which he denied the existence of the DPRK, insulted it and cried for its total destruction under the eyes of the world, the letter said:

The statement of the chairman of the DPRK State Affairs Commission reflects the wrath and will of all the members of the WPK and other people determined to fight against the U.S. imperialists to the last as they dared defame the dignity of our supreme leadership and revealed their scheme to plunge the Korean people into the crucible of a horrible nuclear war.

The statement is a powerful encouragement to the progressive political parties and peoples of the world in the struggle to frustrate the war provocation moves of the U.S. imperialists, the chieftain of the imperialist reactionaries and harasser of the global peace, and build an independent, peaceful and righteous, new society.

Today, to resolutely struggle against the U.S. imperialists regarding aggression and war as their mode of existence serves as a main way for ensuring peace and security of the world.

In order to realize the genuine international justice and defend elementary right to existence of mankind, it is necessary to counter the nukes of tyranny with the nuclear treasured sword of justice. This is the truth taught by the DPRK-U.S. confrontation to the world.

The WPK Central Committee ardently appeals to the political parties around the world valuing independence, justice and peace to turn out as one in the joint action and front to frustrate the U.S. reckless moves to plunge the world into a nuclear disaster.

It also expresses the expectation and belief that they will send invariable support and solidarity to the Workers' Party of Korea and the Korean people in the just struggle to defend the sovereignty, dignity and right to existence of the country and protect the peace and security of the Korean peninsula and the region. -0-
