U.S. under Fire for Hamstringing Implementation of North-South Joint Declaration

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, June 15 (KCNA) -- The desire to achieve reconciliation, unity and cooperation of the nation is growing stronger than ever before among the Koreans in the north and the south and overseas. But the United States is forcing south Korea to adjust the tempo of implementing the north-south joint declaration depending on the progress made in the process to improve the DPRK-U.S. relations, increasing the "combat capability" of its forces in south Korea for a preemptive attack on the DPRK and escalating pressure and sanctions upon it over the nuclear issue. Minju Joson Tuesday in a signed commentary says this is an undisguised move to disturb the just cause of the Koreans to pave the way for national reunification through national cooperation, clear proof that the U.S. is chiefly to blame for blocking the implementation of the joint declaration and the peaceful reunification of the Korean peninsula.
    It goes on:
    The U.S. is shipping latest war hardware into south Korea behind the curtain of redeployment of its forces in south Korea. This is aimed not to fill up the "security vacuum" but to perfect its scenario of a war of aggression against the DPRK based on the method of fighting a war by use of new type ultra-modern weapons.
    Its moves to increase the "combat capability" of its forces can not but be a grave threat to peace on the Korean peninsula and an act of obstructing the implementation of the joint declaration.
    While increasing its nuclear threat to the DPRK, the U.S. is accusing it of building its war deterrent force to cope with the threat in a bid to stifle it. This betrays the U.S. sinister aim to create a complication in settling the nuclear issue and plug south Korea into its stand-off with the DPRK and thus deter it from opting to warm up its relations with the DPRK.
    The U.S. does not want peace and peaceful reunification of the Korean peninsula and improved inter-Korean relations but seeks north-south stand-off and a war against the DPRK.
    The U.S. is well advised to properly understand the will of the Korean nation for independent reunification, stop such acts as disturbing the implementation of the joint declaration and the efforts to accomplish the cause of Korea's reunification and abandon its hostile policy toward the DPRK.
