Plan to Bolster S. Korean Forces Disclosed

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

   Pyongyang, January 13 (KCNA) -- Part of the plan to beef up the south Korean forces was disclosed by the Internet homepage of the "Agency of Defence Affairs" of south Korea, which started its work from Jan. 1, to create furor, according to the south Korean MBC on Jan. 8. What has been disclosed recently is the summary of the "mid-term plan for national defence" aimed at implementing the plan to bolster the south Korean forces, it said. The concrete plan involving more than 250 proposals for the introduction of weapons envisages the spending of 3,700 billion won for developing three heavy submarines, each 3,500 tons, for the navy from 2010 to 2020 and the allocation of 12,000 billion won for developing new-type fighters for the air force till 2018.
    The arms build-up plan once again brings to light the true colors of the pro-U.S. warlike forces toeing the U.S. policy to stifle the north as it was disclosed at a time when the U.S. forces in south Korea are increasing their role to ignite a war of aggression on the Korean Peninsula.
