All Koreans Called upon to Struggle for Lasting Peace

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

   Pyongyang, January 9 (KCNA) -- It is an important realistic task for national reunification and prosperity to remove the source of war from the Korean Peninsula and achieve its durable peace.
    Rodong Sinmun Wednesday says this in a signed article.
    It goes on:
    The constant danger of war on the peninsula has brought really great misfortune and pain and mental and material losses to the Korean nation, threatening and hampering its existence and development.
    The United States is still escalating its military threat and pressure upon the DPRK while employing "carrot and stick." The south Korean hawks, its followers, are getting frantic with the anti-DPRK military rackets, going busy with the development and introduction of new type weapons and reorganizing military command system under the pretext of coping with "provocations" and "threat".
    Last year alone, the U.S. was busy with madcap war exercises all the year round after transferring means for preemptive nuclear strike to south Korea from its mainland and its overseas bases to keep them ready to go into action.
    All Koreans in the north and the south and overseas who love the country and the nation and love peace should pool efforts and wage a dynamic struggle for peace against war in order to frustrate the moves of the trigger-happy elements at home and abroad for a war of aggression.
    In order to achieve durable peace on the peninsula it is necessary to liquidate historical and realistic elements disturbing peace and creating the danger of war.
    The U.S. hostile policy toward the DPRK is the principal source of war of aggression against the north on the peninsula.
    Unceasing large joint military war exercises, arms build-up and transfer and expansion of U.S. forces bases in south Korea are the greatest potential danger of war of aggression against the north.
    Whether to remove the danger of war from this land and achieve durable peace or not entirely depends on the efforts of the Koreans, concludes the article.
