In his statement, published by state media, he noted that the presence of American nuclear aviation near the port of Busan increases tensions in the Korean Peninsula. This occurred against the backdrop of joint military exercises between the US and South Korea.

He also revealed that the joint statement of the US and South Korean defense ministers about demilitarized zones, calling them "open manifestations of hostile nature" of the allies. He emphasized that the DPRK lives under threats from the West for ensuring security and peace.
