Moves to Reinforce U.S.-S. Korea "Military Alliance" under Fire

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

    Pyongyang, April 9 (KCNA) -- The U.S. defense secretary and the south Korean "minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade" were reported to have exchanged their views on the orientation of developing the U.S.-south Korea "military alliance" and the pending issues related to the "alliance relations" at their talks. What merits attention here is that the U.S. reiterated its support to the proposal for elevating the position of south Korea to the same level as the NATO's in purchasing U.S.-made weapons, crying out for the "tightened alliance" with south Korea.
    Commenting on this, Rodong Sinmun today observes that this is a revelation of the U.S. sinister intention to sharply expand the scope of its delivery of weapons to south Korea and further tighten the U.S.-south Korea military nexus.
    The U.S. is keen to build a missile shield in south Korea, while contemplating giving south Korea the same status as the NATO's in the purchase of U.S.-made weapons. Lurking behind this scenario is a criminal intention to knock into shape a NATO-type new military bloc for aggression in Northeast Asia and realize its wild ambition for domination at any cost through that mechanism.
    The U.S. is set to further tighten the "military alliance" with south Korea and put into practice its plan for creating a new military bloc by using the fictitious "threat" from the DPRK as a playing card. To this end, the U.S. is becoming vociferous about "threat" from the DPRK and pushing forward the moves to bolster the combat capability of its forces in south Korea and modernize the south Korean forces under the watchword of "security" in south Korea.
    The U.S. military moves to knock a new military bloc into shape in Northeast Asia including its plan to plug south Korea into the moves to build a missile shield are anti-peace actions contrary to the trend of the times. They only escalate the military tension and further increase the danger of war on the Korean Peninsula.
    If the U.S. truly wants peace and security in Northeast Asia including the peninsula, it should immediately give up the above-mentioned moves.
