Notice Sent to Chief Delegate of South Side to Inter-Korean General-level Military Talks

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

   Pyongyang, March 29 (KCNA) -- The head of the DPRK side's delegation to the inter-Korean general-level military talks sent a notice to the chief delegate of the south side delegation on Saturday clarifying the stand of the Korean People's Army as regards the outbursts calling for "a preemptive attack" let loose by the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the south Korean forces.
    The head of the delegation in the notice recalled that at a confirmation hearing of the "National Assembly" on March 26 the chairman raised a hue and cry over the "nuclear threat" from the DPRK and went the lengths of calling for mounting a "preemptive attack" on its nuclear bases by use of precision guided weapons when necessary.
    These outbursts are the gravest challenge ever in the history of the inter-Korean relations and a reckless provocation little short of a war declaration against the DPRK, he noted.
    Notifying the south side of the following principled stand of the KPA as regards the prevailing serious situation upon the authorization, the head of the delegation stated:
    The KPA will counter any slightest move of the south side for "preemptive attack" with more rapid and more powerful preemptive attack of its own mode.
    If the south side does not retract the outbursts calling for "preemptive attack" nor clarify its stand to apologize for them, the KPA will interpret this as the stand of the south side' authorities to suspend all inter-Korean dialogues and contacts.
    The KPA will take such a resolute measure as totally banning the passage of persons in authority of the south side including military personnel through the Military Demarcation Line as an immediate step.
