He then read the following letter from the Korean National Peace Committee.

"Dear friends,

Please accept warm greetings from the Korean National Peace Committee!

Since the beginning of this year, the situation on the Korean Peninsula has been extremely aggravated due to the reckless military threat to us and the military provocative intrigues of the United States and the puppet ROK.

The United States, which on January 4, together with the gangsters of the military departments of the puppet ROK, conducted “joint live-fire exercises” - the first madness of the new year, madly carried out all sorts of military exercises, including “exercises to seize chemical, biological and radioactive substance storage facilities”, “exercises cyber union" and "joint special operations exercises."

And since January 15, they conducted four-day “joint naval exercises” at sea near the island of Chezhu with the participation of the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Carl Vinson, even Japan and the puppet ROK.

The United States, together with the military gangsters of the puppet ROK, went berserk throughout February in “joint marine corps exercises”, “joint winter exercises”, “joint air exercises”, etc. They, not content with this, carried out round the clock in March under the guise of large-scale joint military Exercise Freedom Shield 48 highly offensive and provocative military exercises. These include “joint air raid exercise”, “joint tactical shooting exercise”, “joint air-to-air and air-to-ground missile launch exercise”, joint air exercise “Sanme exercise” and other field operational maneuvers.

And in April, crazy military exercises by the USA, Japan and the puppet ROK continued, in which US nuclear strategic assets were involved.

On April 2, trilateral air exercises were held with the participation of the American nuclear strategic bomber B-52N, and then naval exercises with the participation of the American nuclear aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt.

In addition to the “combined air infiltration exercise” held on April 18, the so-called “comprehensive coalition military aircraft exercise” will be held from April 12 to 26, involving more than 100 military aircraft of various types.

All these exercises have their origins in the agreements reached last August by the heads of the United States, Japan and the puppet ROK at the Camp David dacha near Washington, which detailed, planned and formulated the outbreak of a nuclear war against us, and promised to conduct trilateral military exercises annually. These exercises are obviously a “rehearsal” aimed at the actual scenario of a US nuclear war against the DPRK in a real war.

This year until now, the United States, together with its satellites, has conducted military exercises more than 80 times, and the puppet ROK has conducted individual exercises more than 60 times. This fact clearly shows exactly who is the main culprit for the deterioration of the situation in the region.

The armed forces of our Republic conducted comprehensive tactical exercises to launch a conditional nuclear counterstrike in response to the nuclear military provocative intrigues of the United States and the puppet ROK, thereby sending an unambiguous warning signal to the United States and the puppet ROK, which are unilaterally escalating military tension on the Korean Peninsula.

Despite this situation, the United States has been chattering about an international response, calling our just self-defense military exercises a “violation of UN Security Council resolutions” and a “threat”, thereby foolishly trying to apply pressure against our Republic.

On April 24, the deputy head of the department of the WPK Central Committee, Kim Yo Jong, and the head of the foreign information department of the information department of the DPRK Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued press statements categorically condemning such gangster acts of the United States as a thief beating his owner.

Detailed information is available on the KCNA website www.kcna.com.

The Korean National Peace Committee expresses its firm belief that all the progressive peoples of the world who desire peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and on Earth have had a correct understanding of who is actually the main culprit for the deteriorating situation on the Korean Peninsula, and have provided full support and solidarity in the just struggle of the Korean people to protect peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and on Earth."

The letter from the Committee was met with prolonged applause. The meeting participants expressed full support for the just position of the Korean people, strongly condemning the aggressive machinations of the US imperialists and the gang of puppets of the Republic of Korea.

Comrade Petrov emphasized that the Russian Society for Friendship and Cultural Cooperation with the DPRK has supported, has supported and will always support Korea in upholding state sovereignty. He expressed confidence that under the leadership of the respected comrade Kim Jong Un, the DPRK has become a powerful socialist state capable of repelling the attack of any enemy without hesitation.

The head of the Russian organization also expressed full support for the course of the DPRK ISG to unite the international solidarity movement, noting the unprecedented successes and progress unprecedented in many years that have occurred in Russia thanks to the activities of Chairman Mostov and the leaders of the primary cells.

On behalf of the Communist Party and Komsomol of Tajikistan, Comrade Yuldoshev presented the DPRK ISG with the honorary badge of the “Order of the Red Banner of Labor of the Tajik SSR.” He also gave the head of our organization a precious gift on behalf of the Chairman of the Communist Party of Tajikistan, conveying his best wishes.

In turn, the Chairman of the DPRK ISG, on behalf of the Coordination Committee of our organization, expressed gratitude to the respected Murodbek Safarbekovich for his special contribution to the development of Korean-Tajik relations. The letter of gratitude emphasized that thanks to his initiatives, the activities of the Tajik Solidarity Group with the DPRK reached a qualitatively new level, and expressed firm confidence in the fairness of the course promoted by the Communist Youth Union of the Republic of Tajikistan.

Then Comrade Vorontsov gave a detailed lecture on the results of our delegation’s trip to the DPRK.

The Russian Korean scholar said that during the delegation’s visit, representatives of the Russian Society for Friendship and Cultural Cooperation with the DPRK and the Altai Society for the Study of Juche Ideas, as part of the DPRK International Solidarity Group, took part in the first seminar in many years on the study of Juche ideas on independence, justice and the future of humanity , and also visited different places in the country.

Comrade Vorontsov expressed admiration for the significant progress that the Korean people have achieved in improving the well-being of the population. In his opinion, the quality and volume of construction work, visible to the naked eye on the example of the new streets of Pyongyang, clearly demonstrates the shocking growth of the DPRK economy - this is the new reality that experts from the United States and South Korea will now have to put up with.

He also told the meeting participants details of the meeting with Ri Il Hwan, Member of the Political Bureau of the WPK Central Committee, and other relevant workers.

At the end of the meeting, Comrades Legoshin and Dmitriev told the students about the activities of our primary cells.

The meeting participants took photographs for memory.
