S. Korean Authorities' Arms Build-up under Fire

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, December 9 (KCNA) -- All the Koreans are working hard to achieve reconciliation, peace and reunification true to the June 15 joint declaration while denouncing the U.S. imperialists' moves for a war of aggression against the north. Yet, the south Korean authorities are frantically stepping up the arms build-up to invade the north in collusion with the outsiders who pursue the same aim. This is a perfidy to the joint declaration and an intolerable move for confrontation against reunification as it challenges the country's peace and reunification. Rodong Sinmun Thursday observes this in a signed article. Branding the south Korean authorities' arms build-up as an act of hostility toward their fellow countrymen in the north with whom they are to get reconciled and cooperate and a grave military provocation, the article goes on:
    As far as the inter-Korean relations are concerned, big progress has been made in different fields since the adoption of the June 15 joint declaration.
    The north and the south of Korea should achieve national cooperation and expand cooperation in the spirit of the joint declaration to create an atmosphere of peace and peaceful reunification and consolidate it. The plan of the south Korean authorities to step up the arms build-up without doing such a thing only goes to clearly prove that they do not recognize the north as a party with which to get reconciled and cooperate but only seek to invade it, considering it as a "principal enemy."
    Their arms build-up is a very dangerous move for a war as this means actively joining the U.S. in its moves to invade the north.
    The U.S. has become evermore undisguised in its military moves to invade the north, keeping pace with the "reduction" and relocation of its forces in south Korea and the resultant massive arms build-up.
    The U.S. imperialists are desperately pursuing the hostile policy toward the DPRK, while seeking to plug south Korea into the criminal moves to attain its aim. The south Korean authorities' irresponsible act will only put peace and security on the Korean Peninsula at peril and spark a fratricidal war on this land as planned by the U.S.
    The south Korean authorities' arms build-up is little short of digging their own graves.
