Cooperation for Peace against War Called for

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)

    Pyongyang, August 24 (KCNA) -- It is the common cause of the nation to protect peace and security on the Korean Peninsula. All Koreans in the north, the south and overseas should fully realize cooperation for peace against war to deal telling blows at the U.S. imperialists keen to start a new war through their concerted efforts and fulfill their responsibility and role as masters in hewing out the destiny of the nation and achieving national reunification. Rodong Sinmun Wednesday says this in a signed article. It goes on: The "Ulji Focus Lens-05" joint military exercises launched by the U.S. imperialist warmongers again in south Korea are a blatant challenge to the Koreans desirous of reunification and a serious threat to the peace and security on the peninsula. To achieve the above-said cooperation represents a struggle to frustrate the moves of the foreign forces for a war of aggression and preserve the peace and security of the country by the concerted efforts of the Koreans. It is an urgent and essential requirement for hewing out the destiny of the Korean nation to realize the above-said form of cooperation. In the 50s of the last century the United States provoked a war of aggression against the DPRK in order to dominate the whole of Korea, inflicting war disasters upon the Koreans. It has watched for a chance to invade the DPRK for scores of years. It has steadily modified and supplemented its operation plans to mount a preemptive attack on the DPRK and staged such joint military war drills as RSOI, "Foal Eagle" and "Ulji Focus Lens" in an effort to grasp and round off them.
    Cooperation for peace against war that calls on the Koreans to pool their efforts in the struggle against war indicates a right way of providing a peaceful precondition for national reunification and prosperity. The above-said form of cooperation is urgently required by the era and the nation.
    The fellow countrymen living in the June 15 era of reunification wish to achieve the reunification and prosperity of the nation in the spirit of "By our nation itself." War and division are quite contrary to the will of the Korean nation.
    The above-said form of cooperation means the response of the fellow countrymen to the call of the era and nation and a basic way of frustrating the U.S. moves for a war of aggression against the DPRK. The struggle for peace against war is one sure to triumph, the article concludes.
