Japan's Moves for Overseas Aggression Assailed

KCNA

    Pyongyang, October 11 (KCNA) -- The Japanese ruling quarters are getting over-heated in the moves to establish the missile defense system, making much ado about "missile threat" from the DPRK in a bid to realize their ambition for military power and overseas expansion, Rodong Sinmun today says in a signed commentary. It goes on:
    Just after forming the new cabinet the present chief executive of Japan instructed the director general of the Defense Agency to strengthen missile measures, which means to step up and complete the establishment of the missile defense system to prevent "missile threat" from the DPRK.
    The DPRK has preserved and developed a military power not to threaten others but to defend itself. The DPRK's development, production and deployment of missiles are not contrary to the principle of self-defense.
    The DPRK remains true to the spirit of the DPRK-Japan Pyongyang Declaration which promises to suspend missile launch.
    The DPRK government insists on the implementation of the declaration though Japan is aggravating the DPRK-Japan relations while shunning the liquidation of its past, a hardcore article of the declaration.
    Japan's moves for military buildup and overseas expansion have gone to extremes and the threat of missile and reinvasion comes from Japan to the DPRK.
    Closely following Japan's reckless moves, the army and people of Korea recognize that they should approach Japan with arms, not words.
