Planned war games in S. Korea condemned

KCNA

    Pyongyang, July 10 (KCNA) -- The metropolitan defence command of the South Korean army has planned to stage a "mobile drill" around Seoul and Kyonggi Province on July 12 again with tanks and other military equipment involved in the wake of a similar war exercise on July 8. In this regard, the secretariat of the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of the Fatherland issued information bulletin no. 842 on Wednesday.
    Noting that the 11th inter-Korean ministerial talks are to be held in Seoul between July 9 and 12 amid the expectation and concern of the entire nation, the bulletin said:
    Against this backdrop, the South Korean military authorities are going to stage such war games under the pretext of "annual ordinary drill" outside the talks hall. This cannot be construed otherwise than an insidious challenge intended to seriously get on the dialogue partner's nerves, hamstring the smooth progress of the talks and, furthermore, block the dynamic advance of the fellow countrymen toward national reconciliation, unity, peace and reunification.
    Such anti-national, anti-reunification confrontation and war moves of the South Korean military hawks will only encourage the united states in its dangerous anti-DPRK war moves and accelerate their self-destruction.
    They should stop at once their reckless confrontation and war moves to be staged in support of the U.S. war scheme.
