Heightened vigilance against Japan called for
KCNA
Pyongyang, April 8 (KCNA) -- The Japanese reactionaries' open adv"self-defence forces'" possession of attack capability is little short of hinting that their actions for overseas expansion will be taken soon, says Minju Joson today.
Some time ago, director general of the Japan Defence Agency Ishiba called for SDF's possession of attack capability allegedly to cope with "nuclear and missile threat" from the DPRK. Meanwhile, the agency started examining the introduction of tomahawk cruise missiles, etc. to this end.
Commenting on this, the paper says:
At present, the attention of the world community is focused on Iraq and the tensions on the Korean Peninsula are rapidly increasing. So, the reactionaries of Japan hurriedly push ahead with the scheme to turn Japan into a military power and realize its ambition for overseas expansion, judging that such action would not draw the world attention so much as in the past under the present situation.
There is no guarantee that they will not make any preemptive attack on other countries after possessing the long-range offensive means such as tomahawk. The first target of their attack is none other than the DPRK.
The developments in Japan require Asian nations and many other countries to further heighten the vigilance against the undisguised military actions of the Japanese reactionaries for the conversion of Japan into a military power and its overseas expansion.
