S. Korean Military Urged to Have Proper Stand toward North

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, February 10 (KCNA) -- The decision made by the Defence Ministry of south Korea to use the expression of the "most kernel enemy" meaning the north internally within the south Korean army or the phraseology of "substantial military threat" in documents for overseas distribution is, in essence, another conception of the "principal enemy" which antagonizes against their fellow countrymen in the north. Minju Joson Thursday carries a signed commentary in this regard.
    It says:
    The changed notion of the "principal enemy" is an intolerable mockery and an open challenge to the north which has made sincere efforts to bring about a turning phase for peace and peaceful reunification of the country.
    It is not the DPRK but the U.S. and the war-like forces of the south Korean military in active pursuance of the U.S. who have increased the danger of war with incessant arms buildup in the Korean Peninsula.
    The final resolution made by the ministry over the expression of the "principal enemy" will adversely affect the implementation of the June 15 North-South Joint Declaration and the improvement of the north-south relations.
    If the south Korean authorities truly want the improved relations with the north and the smooth implementation of the joint declaration they should refrain from such a farce as changing the expression, erase the notion of the "principal enemy" once and forever and have proper stand and attitude toward their dialogue partner with the consciousness of being fellow countrymen.
