PYONGYANG, Aug. 11 (Xinhua) -- The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) on Thursday once again slammed Seoul for its decision to deploy the anti-missile Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system on the Korea Peninsula, saying it is "dodging the mounting criticism."
South Korean President Park Geun-hye and her government are "driven into a tight corner by the strong criticism and protest against the THAAD deployment from not only the South Korean public, but also from all Koreans and international society," said a statement given by a spokesman for the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of the Country (CPRC).
The statement, which was carried by the official KCNA news agency, criticized Seoul for its pro-American policy, saying it is being "utterly indifferent to the national dignity and interests."
