The North Korean Foreign Ministry called the United States and the West the main criminals in the world: The United States and the West, which do not hesitate to violate the sovereignty and territorial integrity of independent countries and exacerbate instability and social disorder in the world in order to carry out hegemonic designs, are the main criminals supporting all kinds of crimes today, including money laundering, terrorism, drug trafficking and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. The DPRK will under no circumstances allow even the slightest attempts to harm the dignity, rights and interests of the country, and will continue to join the efforts of the international community to establish a just world order.
