PYONGYANG – In a strongly worded statement released Sunday, North Korea’s Foreign Ministry has issued a scathing condemnation of United States policies toward Venezuela, characterizing American actions as flagrant violations of international law and sovereignty principles.
The official declaration, disseminated through state-controlled Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), featured a ministry spokesperson accusing Washington of committing “hegemony-seeking acts” that represent “the most serious form of sovereignty encroachment.” The statement further alleged these actions constitute wanton disregard for both the United Nations Charter and established international legal frameworks.
According to the North Korean assessment, current regional instability directly results from what it termed “US high-handed actions” that have exacerbated an already fragile geopolitical situation in Latin America. The characterization framed recent American maneuvers concerning Venezuela as demonstrating what Pyongyang views as the “rogue and brutal nature” of United States foreign policy.
The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s diplomatic corps urged the international community to recognize the escalating situation’s severity and collectively voice opposition to what it described as America’s “habituated violation” of other nations’ sovereignty. This positioning aligns with North Korea’s historical pattern of criticizing US foreign policy while simultaneously facing extensive international sanctions over its nuclear weapons program.
The statement emerges amid ongoing political and economic turbulence in Venezuela, where international perspectives remain sharply divided regarding legitimate leadership and appropriate foreign involvement. North Korea’s vocal support for Venezuela’s sovereignty reflects broader geopolitical alignments that frequently see anti-US nations forming diplomatic alliances based on mutual opposition to American influence.
