Western Powers' Arms Build-up Assailed

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

   Pyongyang, March 28 (KCNA) -- The Western powers including the U.S. and their allies have become more frantic in their moves to modernize and develop military hardware and step up arms build-up in a bid to hold military supremacy and realize their ambition for world domination.
    Minju Joson Wednesday observes in a signed commentary in this regard:
    The job to bolster military capacity is, by no means, a monopoly of a specified country.
    It is self-evident that the moves of some countries to qualitatively bolster their military muscles cannot but be an issue of concern to those countries concerned as they are intertwined with one another politically and geographically. That is why many countries are sensitively responding to the Western powers' attempt to hold military supremacy.
    It is elementary common sense that any military measure taken by any country to go unchallenged in the military field would upset the military equilibrium among countries, spark off military mistrust and threat and increase the danger of a war.
    It is the only way for any country to survive in this world today to build its own strength now that the hegemonic forces seek to seize other countries by force and put them under their domination.
    Another war has not yet broken out on the Korean Peninsula where the interests of big powers are intertwined and the hegemonic forces have revealed their attempt to put the DPRK under their military domination. This is entirely thanks to the DPRK which has paid due attention to building strength to defend itself.
    The DPRK will exercise its legitimate right to self-defence as long as the hegemonic forces' hostile policy toward it goes on and Northeast Asia is exposed to the danger of a war.
