U.S. Impedes Peace, Independent Reunification of Korea

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, January 13 (KCNA) -- The joint New Year editorial released by major newspapers of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea calls on all the Koreans to launch a powerful struggle for peace against war in order to drive U.S. troops out of south Korea, remove the very source of a nuclear war and preserve peace and security on the Korean peninsula. Owing to the U.S. imperialists' arms buildup, interference and obstruction, peace, security and independent reunification of Korea are faced with serious difficulties.
    They have hampered the Koreans' efforts for the country's independent reunification, trying hard to unleash another war in Korea.
    In February last year they worked out "New Operation Plan 5026" and examined its feasibility and in August mapped out "Operation Plan 5027-04", a detailed war plan against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
    They also brought a large number of "Striker" armored cars, "Shadow 200" pilotless tactical aircraft, "M1-Abrams" tanks and other up-to-date weapons and military equipment to south Korea.
    Meanwhile, they staged such anti-DPRK military maneuvers as "Reception, Staging, Onward-movement and Integration", "Foal Eagle" and "Ulji-focus lens-04".
    They have also incited confrontation between the two halves of the peninsula, openly interfering in and obstructing inter-Korean economic cooperation.
    From the beginning of last year they have put pressure upon the south Korean authorities to suit the improvement of north-south relations to progress in the nuclear issue between the DPRK and the U.S. Worse still, they have tried hard to foil the Kaesong Industrial Zone project.
    As long as they keep their troops in south Korea and, with it as a base, pursue the anti-DPRK policy, the Korean nation's desire for reunification and prosperity can never be realized.
    Korea can be reunified only when all the Korean people pool efforts to have U.S. troops withdrawn from south Korea and check the U.S. interference in internal affairs of the nation.
