U.S. and Japanese Reactionaries' Moves for Establishing MD under Fire
Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)
Pyongyang, April 9 (KCNA) -- It is preposterous for the U.S. imperialists to raise a hue and cry over "missile threat" from the DPRK and assert that they would expand and push forward the plan for the establishment of the missile defence system (MD) to "protect" themselves and their allies.
Rodong Sinmun Monday observes this in a signed commentary denouncing the U.S. and Japanese reactionaries for their adventurous moves to build MD.
The commentary goes on:
Needless to say, such moves are grave provocative acts to hamstring the efforts to denuclearize the Korean Peninsula, speed up the preparations for a new war and spark off a hot arms race in Northeast Asia.
The ruling quarters of Japan seized by their ambition to have MD in place are working with bloodshot eyes to realize it under the pretext of "threat" from someone.
No country would remain a passive on-looker to the above-said moves of the U.S. and Japan as they are bound to spark off a new arms race. The DPRK has already warned that the establishment of MD by the U.S. and Japan is a move hostile to the DPRK and a grave threat to it.
Nevertheless, the U.S. and Japanese reactionaries are desperately pushing forward their moves to bolster their nuclear and missile forces in a bid to disturb the peace and security on the Korean Peninsula and trigger off an arms buildup in Northeast Asia and the rest of the world.
By pushing ahead with the moves for MD targeted against the DPRK, the U.S. and Japan are flagrantly breaching the spirit of the agreement of the six-party talks, which calls for refraining from any act of threatening other party. Now is the time for the countries concerned to exercise self-restraint in their dangerous military actions.
