U.S. True Intention behind Its Plan for Troop Cutback and Relocation under Fire
Korean Central News Agency of DPRK
Pyongyang, June 11 (KCNA) -- The All-People Solidarity reportedly issued a statement on June 7 in which it demanded the U.S. retract its plan for the transfer and expansion of its base and the authorities come out for the renegotiations over the issue of transfer of the Ryongsan U.S. military base.
The U.S. is blustering that the "south Korea-U.S. combined forces plays the function of a regional force in Northeast Asia" and "the U.S. troops in south Korea can be dispatched to any part of the world any time." This clearly indicates that the plan to cut down the U.S. troops and relocate them has been carried out within the framework of its plan to hold hegemony over Northeast Asia, the statement said, and went on:
The U.S. clarified its intention to convert the "south Korea-U.S. alliance" into "a regional alliance," revealing that a series of rounds of the Future of south Korea-U.S. alliance policy initiative talks held so far were aimed to implement its new military strategy.
For the authorities to have agreed to cover the expenses for the transfer of the U.S. military base in Ryongsan and offer sites for new buildings in the base is little short of meeting the U.S. demand and providing conditions necessary for carrying out a war, the statement contended.
