North Korea Threatens Australia For Supporting America

On Saturday, North Korea made a new enemy with Australia and threatened the country for aligning with South Korea and the U.S.

The Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said in a statement, “Lately, Australia is showing dangerous moves of zealously joining the frenzied political and military provocations of the U.S., against North Korea.”

It further added, “The Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop personally expressed her support for the stand of the U.S., to consider all options including the use of force towards the North. And turned up at Panmunjom on October 11 together with the Australian Defence Minister Marise Payne to condemn the North during her visit to South Korea.”

The statement is referring to Bishop and Payne’s recent visit to South Korea where they met their counterparts and visited Panmunjom. Panmunjom is the demilitarised zone which is a four kilometer stretch that separates North Korea from South Korea which has been at war for the past 65 years.

During their visit, the Australian Ministers insisted on the fact that diplomatic pressure needs to be put on North Korea to ensure they stop carrying out weapon tests.

The KCNA statement threatened Australia, “Should Australia continue to follow the US in imposing military, economic and diplomatic pressure upon the North despite our repeated warnings, they will not be able to avoid a disaster.”
