Pyongyang, March 24 (KCNA) -- Members of civic and public organizations in South Korea reportedly called a press conference in front of the South Korea-U.S. combined forces command on march 19, denouncing the U.S. imperialists' war moves. Among the organizations were the society of people working for peace and reunification, the Solidarity for Implementing the South-North Joint Declaration and the Korean Catholic Priests' Association for Justice.
At the conference, the participants branded the Foal Eagle and Rsoi as war exercises directly targeted at the north in view of their scale and nature, which are increasing the danger of war on the Korean Peninsula.
The current joint military exercises can never be regarded as "defensive drills", when the forces involved there are compared with those participating in the invasion of Iraq, but they are, in actuality, a replica of the already suspended Team Spirit joint military exercise, they pointed out.
With this conference as an occasion, they would wage a vigorous struggle against the U.S. imperialists' war games, they declared, urging the authorities to check the U.S. military reinforcement.
