U.S. Moves to Establish MD under Fire

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, April 16 (KCNA) -- Kadish, director of the Missile Defence Agency of the U.S. Defence Department, at a recent sub-committee meeting of the U.S. House Armed Services Committee called for pushing forward the establishment of the Missile Defence System (MD), saying that "governments and companies around the world are expressing greater interests in participating in the widening effort to develop defenses against ballistic missiles. " Commenting on this Minju Joson today says that the U.S. MD moves aimed to establish the sphere of military domination over the world would only spark off a new arms race and strain the situation.
    The news analyst goes on:
    It is clearly proved by the recent situation of the Korean peninsula.
    The U.S. is now shipping update war means into the Korean peninsula and surrounding areas under the pretext of "missile defence" in a bid to stifle the DPRK by force of arms and put its Asia strategy into practice.
    These moves are laying a big stumbling block in the way of seeking a peaceful negotiated settlement of the nuclear issue and are placing the Korean peninsula on the tense situation on the eve of the outbreak of the second Korean war.
    There is no guarantee that this would not become another source of threatening Northeast Asian and global peace and security beyond the boundary of the Korean peninsula.
    All the peace-loving people of the world should see through the aggressive and dangerous nature of the Bush group¡Çs reckless moves to establish the MD and keep sharper vigilance against the U.S., the commentary concludes.
