KCNA Blasts S. Korea's "Emergency Plan"

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, October 15 (KCNA) -- It has been disclosed recently that the south Korean authorities worked out in secrecy such "emergency plans" as Chungmu 3300 and Chungmu 9000 to cope with the "suddenly changed situation" in the north and have steadily updated them, waiting for a chance to implement them. This sparked a big public furor. The authorities were reported to have called for coping with the situation and "reunifying the country by absorption" in the past. But it is the first time that the above-said fact has been disclosed.
    The plan is a strategy for confrontation with the north dating back to the Cold War era, a strategy which diametrically runs counter to the June 15 joint declaration, and an intolerable treacherous and anti-reunification criminal act.
    What should not be overlooked is the fact that the Ministry of Unification of south Korea has directly taken part in updating the plan calling for confrontation with the north even after the publication of the joint declaration in which the north and the south committed themselves to achieve reconciliation, cooperation and independent reunification by the concerted efforts of the nation.
    Such rowdyism as carrying daggers in their belts while paying lip-service to dialogue and cooperation clearly proves that they are challenging the system in the DPRK, taking advantage of the U.S. hostile policy toward it.
    What the south Korean authorities are doing under the above-mentioned plan is nothing but a perfidy to their dialogue partner and a total negation of the June 15 joint declaration.
    Their oft-repeated reconciliation and cooperation are, in the long run, no more than a fig-leaf to cover up the dangerous nature of their Cold War style confrontation strategy.
    The DPRK is not interested at all in the "dialogue" and "cooperation" touted by those who seek a sinister purpose.
    The situation on the Korean peninsula remains so tense that a new war may break out any moment due to the U.S. anti-DPRK racket over the nuclear issue.
    The U.S. is massively bolstering its forces present in south Korea to preempt a nuclear attack on the DPRK. It is also working hard to lay an international siege to the DPRK in a bid to force it to accept its demand that the DPRK scrap its nuclear program first.
    It is against this backdrop that the south Korean authorities are joining the U.S. in implementing its hostile policy toward the DPRK. This behavior will only bring the holocaust of a war to the Korean peninsula and bring the inter-Korean relations back to those of confrontation.
    Socialism in the DPRK remains indestructible as it has been consolidated as firm as a rock thanks to a high degree of political and ideological awareness of the popular masses and their revolutionary zeal strong enough to meet all challenges of the imperialists, and it is invincible socialism under which the leader, the party and the masses are united in mind.
    No matter how desperately the south Korean fanatic agitators of confrontation with the north may work to do harm to the DPRK, backed by the outsiders, this will get them nowhere.
    The south Korean authorities should repeal the "emergency plan" without delay and make an unconditional apology to the DPRK, pondering over the grave impact it will have on the inter-Korean relations.
    The DPRK will closely follow their future attitude and will take necessary countermeasures.
