S. Korean "Cooperative Self-Reliant National Defence Plan" Assailed

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, November 30 (KCNA) -- Some time ago, the Defence Ministry of south Korea made public a "cooperative self-reliant national defence plan" under the signboard of "future-orientated development" of the south Korea-U.S. alliance. Rodong Sinmun today in a signed commentary in this connection says: Under the plan the south Korean military would reorganize the Joint Chiefs of Staff on an expansion basis with a view to strengthening the war execution system and actively pushing forward research and development in the munitions industry. To this end, it is contemplating military spending running into astronomical figures for four years to come. It is a very dangerous development as the move reveals the trigger-happy nature of the south Korean authorities keen to stand in military stand off with the north and launch a war of aggression against it.
    Commenting on the "self-reliant national defence" on the lips of the south Korean authorities, the commentary says that it is very self-contradictory for the south Korean authorities to talk about "self-reliance" while they are strengthening the traitorous nexus with the aggression troops stationed in their land despite the outsiders' clear attempt at aggression.
    The commentary continues:
    The "cooperative self-reliant national defence" is, in essence, nothing but a traitorous slogan to put south Korea under the U.S tighter military control, strengthen the relations of "cooperation" with the U.S. and round off preparations for a war of aggression against the north.
    Now is a reunification-oriented era after the publication of the June 15 joint declaration when all the Koreans are pooling efforts to achieve independent reunification.
    The south Korean authorities can never escape bitter curses and denunciation of all the Koreans as they are whetting swords to invade the north in a bid to bring a disaster of war to the Koreans, while giving lip-service to the inter-Korean reconciliation and cooperation.
