Pyongyang, October 25 (KCNA) -- G7 that has come under worldwide criticism recently held a meeting of defense ministers in Napoli of Italy for the first time in its history.

At the recent confab attended by the defense ministers of G7 and even representatives of the European Union and NATO under the manipulation of the U.S., they made public a "joint statement" inciting the inter-camp confrontation, while making reckless remarks that the "framework of international security has been plunged into graver danger" by such independent and sovereign states as the DPRK, Russia and China.

G7, formed as a group for the interests of a few countries to facilitate the "economic buildup" of the West in the 1970s, held a meeting of defense ministers, the first of its kind, which is unfit for its "mission and duty".

The "moneymaking group", which is not entitled to represent the international community and "supervise or control" the sovereign states in terms of its structure, impudently dealt with global security. This shows that G7 has turned definitely into a "club of war", not a "club of economy".

It is a vivid manifestation of the double standards, a wanton challenge to international peace and an open declaration of new Cold War in the world that they justify the expansion of their defense industry and term sovereign states' exercise of legitimate rights "threats", while talking about "incompatibility-brought confrontation".

Today G7 has become the primary political servant for ensuring the U.S. hegemony.

G7's grave moves to further foster and expand the war of aggression under the pompous signboard of "international security and prosperity" are getting ever more undisguised in the Korean peninsula.

G7's interference in the Korean peninsula issue actually means the military expansion of NATO, the global war alliance.

NATO has invited the puppet ROK to its summit since 2022 and its secretary general was recently closeted with puppet Yoon Suk Yeol to discuss the intensified "cooperation system" against the DPRK.

Meanwhile, Western countries, NATO member states and member states of G7, which account for the backbone of the U.S.-led “UN Command”, are directly involved in the war drills for aggression against the DPRK.

Western countries are working hard to make the flames of war in Europe spill over into Asia, claiming "Asia and Europe are inseparable in terms of security". This grave reality seriously teaches that G7 has rapidly developed into a global "war contractor group".

The U.S. is now scheming to establish an axis of war serving its strategy for hegemony by rallying all its servants, including G7, in which war criminal states that inflicted huge damage on mankind in the last century hold a majority, and NATO, the worst-ever group seeking military confrontation.

G7 is committing an act of robbing others in broad daylight without shame and getting increasingly vocal in condemning someone's measures for bolstering up self-defensive capabilities. It had better look at its despicable image reflected in the eyes of the international community before pointing an accusing finger at others.

The more desperately G7, which is no more than a "shadow" of the U.S., slanders the DPRK's policy of the state nuclear force, bereft of reason, the more clearly it will betray its criminal colors as a harasser of peace, confrontation maniac and war merchant.

Explicitly speaking again, those who seek to deprive the DPRK of its inviolable right will have to pay a high price for it. -0-
