S. Korean Authorities' Yielding to U.S. Pressure Denounced

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

    Pyongyang, August 20 (KCNA) -- The south Korean authorities agreed with the United States to hold a confab for a war against the north, which has left them with no option but to take part in the moves of the U.S. to mount a preemptive attack on the north anytime voluntarily or at others' request. This is little short of jumping with a fagot on their back into fire. A spokesman for the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of the Fatherland said this in an answer to a question put by KCNA Friday in connection with the fact that the south Korean authorities have recently decided to resume the negotiations to develop CONPLAN 5029, a scenario for a war against the north, into an operation plan as demanded by the United States.
    There is nothing different between OPLAN 5029 and CONPLAN 5029 in nature as they are the provocative scenarios for a war against the north whose basic objective is to deliberately create an opportunity to ignite a war against the north, the statement said, and went on:
    This time the U.S. pressurized the south Korean authorities to develop CONPLAN 5029 into an operation plan and the latter yielded to its pressure. This disturbing development can never be tolerated as it is a dangerous act of throwing a wet blanket over the favorably developing north-south relations and driving the situation on the Korean Peninsula to the brink of war again.
    The army and the people of the DPRK will hold higher the banner of Songun, a treasured sword for defending the nation, to cope with the reckless moves of the U.S. and the forces toeing its line for aggression and war and mete out merciless punishment to the aggressors and provokers keen to bring down the dignified system of the DPRK. If the south Korean authorities truly respect the June 15 joint declaration and want reconciliation, cooperation, peace and reunification, they should face up to the trend of the times, act with discretion, stop at once disgracefully toeing the U.S. policy for a war against the north and work for achieving the three forms of cooperation, cooperation for national independence, peace against war and reunification and patriotism.
