Withdrawal of U.S. Troops from S. Korea Called for

KCNA

Release Date: 9/16/2003

Pyongyang, September 13 (KCNA) -- Political parties and organizations of Democratic Congo on September 6 issued a joint statement 58 years after the U.S. troops' occupation of south Korea. There is no justification for the U.S. troops to remain in south Korea any longer in view of the resolution of the 30th Session of the U.N. General Assembly and the reality of the Korean peninsula in which dialogue and cooperation are brisk according to the June 15 North-South Joint Declaration, the statement said, and went on:

The United States, however, is keeping huge troops in south Korea and continuing to bring latest combat technical equipment there and pushing forward at a grave phase all kinds of military plans including the "operation plan 5030" and "arms buildup plan" while attempting to disarm the DPRK and mount a preemptive strike at it.

The Bush administration should think twice, well aware of the Songun policy, the might of the singlehearted unity and strong military power of the DPRK, withdraw its troops from south Korea and refrain from obstructing any longer the efforts of the Korean people to reunify the country by the concerted efforts of the Korean nation.

Meanwhile, K. P. Sharma Oli, chairman of the Afro-Asian People's Solidarity Committee of Nepal, and Surya Lal, chairman of the Peace Action Committee of Nepal, made public a joint statement on September 5.

The statement expressed full support to the Korean people in their just struggle for national reunification and strongly demanded that the U.S. government pull its troops and weapons out of south Korea.
