Press Statement by Chief of Policy Office of DPRK Ministry of National Defence
Pyongyang, July 14 (KCNA) -- The chief of the Policy Office of the Ministry of
National Defence of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea Sunday issued the
following press statement titled "The U.S.-Japan-ROK military nexus threatening
regional peace should be closely watched and deterred":
Recently, the U.S.-Japan-ROK's military cooperation and joint military actions
have been conducted periodically with more threatening nature. They are the main
danger factors heightening the level of the military tension on the Korean
peninsula and in its vicinity.
On July 11, the U.S., Japan and the ROK waged a provocative tripartite joint
air drill by mobilizing various kinds of combat bombers including the strategic
bomber "B-52H" in the sky over the Korean peninsula and its vicinity. On the
same day, they held a meeting of the chairpersons of the U.S.-Japan-ROK joint
chiefs of staff to openly reveal their attempt to further accelerate the
tripartite military cooperation targeting the DPRK and other regional countries.
We express serious concern over their hostile acts of persistently conducting
provocative and threatening military actions while deliberately ignoring the
security concern of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and strongly warn
of the grave consequences to be entailed by them on the regional situation.
This year the U.S. is continuously posing a danger to the security environment
of our state while renewing the records in the number of deploying strategic
strike means on the Korean peninsula and drastically increasing the frequency
and scale of joint military drills with its satellite countries.
The U.S. strategic bombers, stealth fighters and various air reconnaissance
assets are being massively deployed at U.S. military bases in Japan and the ROK
and the U.S. secretary of Defense, the secretary of Navy, the transportation
commander and other military officials appeared in the vicinity of the Korean
peninsula to fan up confrontation hysteria. The U.S.-Japan-ROK tripartite
military cooperation is getting more offensive.
The serious development in which the military alliances between the U.S. and
Japan and between the U.S. and the ROK have completely changed into a nuclear-
based triangular military alliance and the tripartite military cooperation is
being promoted in all spheres heralds the fact that the long-running instability
and tension on the Korean peninsula can lead to an unpredictable phase of
military confrontation at any moment.
Irresponsible acts of the U.S., Japan and the ROK steadily heightening the
level of tension and danger on the Korean peninsula should be closely watched
and deterred.
We clearly recognize that the attainment of the reliable and overwhelming
military capability is the most realistic way to deter the practical application
of the doctrine of "peace through strength" pursued by the U.S. and neutralize
the joint military action plan of the U.S., Japan and the ROK.
It is our just sovereign right to take countermeasures against provocative
military actions such as the moves to strengthen the multilateral military
alliance threatening the security of the region and the joint military drills
with clear aggressive character.
Our armed forces are in constant military preparedness to check the collective
provocations by the U.S. and its vassal forces, deter their aggressive attempt
and effectively cope with war acts.
The Democratic People's Republic of Korea will more clearly express its
invariable stand that it will never tolerate any slightest act which exerts a
negative influence on the security environment of the state with its practical
military counteraction and continue to take responsible measures to defend the
sovereignty and security interests of the state. -0-
