Korea, issued a statemet via the state run "KCNA" and conveyed that >"Pyongyang will take an "upward readjustment of force which the US is most afraid of" if Washington goes through with plans for a new surveillance mechanism.'
> キム次官は「ここ10余年間、国連で対朝鮮（対北）制裁決議履行の監視に従事してきた不法な存在が、凋落（ちょうらく）した危機に直面することになり、米国は破綻した制裁による圧力体制の穴を埋めようと必死になっている」とし「われわれは、ジョー・バイデン米政権が力を失った対朝鮮制裁圧力騒動の息を吹き返すため、何を企（たくら）んでいるのかを正確に見抜いている」と伝えた。

Korea that has lost its power."

> キム次官の言及した「米国の最も恐れる力の引き上げ調整に必要な新たな機会」とは、北朝鮮による第７次の核実験やICBM（大陸間弾道ミサイル）の発射などを意味するものとみられる。
Vice FM Kim said that "The can never take away our self-respect, our strength, and our will to stand up to the U.S." and emphasized that "In a confrontation with the U.S., what we lose is a chain of sanctions and nuclear threats, and what we gain is our eternal security and prosperity."
It reported that >'Observers and experts are speculating as to what "the upward readjustment of force" means.
"The threat could refer to an adjustment of the launch angle of inter-continental ballistic missiles [ICBMs], or it could be related to a seventh round of nuclear tests," said Yang Moo-jin, a professor at the University of North Korean Studies.'
