U.S. forces side's "invitation" declined

KCNA

    Pyongyang, July 18 (KCNA) -- Recently the U.S. forces side announced that an "event" would be held in Panmunjom to mark the 50th anniversary of the conclusion of the Korean Armistice Agreement (AA). And it oddly invited the Korean People's Army side to this "event" to be attended by delegates of those countries which joined the U.S. side in the last Korean war. This move is, of course, intended to give an impression that the U.S. is working hard to remove the misunderstanding and distrust in the past and promote the reconciliation and trust in the Korean peninsula. But this is not its real aim.
    The U.S. seems to forget it is committing crimes against the Korean people even at this moment.
    In this regard, the chief of the KPA mission in Panmunjom sent a telephone message to the u.s. forces side today.
    Recalling that some time ago, the U.S. forces side announced an "arms buildup plan" against the DPRK, a signatory to the AA, in gross violation of it and declared it would impose various forms of blockade on the DPRK, the message says:
    But, now it invites the KPA side to such a "commemorative event" in a bid to mislead the world public by creating an impression that the U.S. is interested in the implementation of the AA. This behavior is unbecoming on it in every aspect.
    The U.S. should stop such moves as the "arms buildup plan" and "blockade" which are in violation of the AA, far from mocking at a signatory to the AA and deceiving the world public.
