Pyongyang, March 8 (KCNA) -- The initiative of the joint meeting of the political parties and organisations in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea for having a wide-range dialogue to remove confrontation existing on the Korean Peninsula and reunify the country fully conforms with the ardent desire of all the Korean people for global peace and security and national unity, said Secretary General Guy Dupre of the International Liaison Committee for Reunification and Peace in Korea (CILRECO) in a statement on Feb. 25.
For South Korea to make a resolute decision on respecting the three principles of national reunification--independence, peaceful reunification and great national unity which it already agreed upon with the north--is as good as rejecting outsider's interference in the internal affairs of Korea, he said, and continued:
The CILRECO calls upon the South Korean political parties and organisations to support the important initiative and take an active part in the struggle for the independent and peaceful reunification of the country.
The Khmer Combatants Party for Mulinaka and Liberty of Cambodia in a statement dated March 2 said the proposal of the DPRK is the most reasonable one that tallies with the desire of the Korean nation, demand of the world people and peace and security in Asia.
The statement expressed the conviction that all the Korean people will achieve the reunification of the country at an early date under the guidance of General Secretary Kim Jong Il and contribute to guaranteeing peace and security in the Korean Peninsula and the rest of Asia.

According to testimony of the commander of the U.S. aggression forces in South Korea at a U.S. House Committee Meeting on March 4, the plane's capability was estimated in the recent joint military manoeuvres of the U.S. and South Korea.

Pyongyang, March 8 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun today comes out with a signed commentary lashing out at the steady arms buildup in South Korea.
Referring to the fact that South Korea has become the second largest importer of the U.S. arms by purchasing 850 million dlrs worth of weapons from the United States last year, the news analyst of the paper says:
In recent years, the South Korean puppets, clamouring for "diversification" of arms system, have imported large quantities of uptodate lethal weapons and military hardware from the United States and other western nations and even from Russia and Israel.
The South Korean puppets, not content with the conversion of South Korea into the U.S. biggest military arsenal in the far east, are getting over-heated in arms buildup, in a criminal attempt to perfect their preparations for a war against the north in league with outsiders.
They would be well advised to remember that their wild adventurous arms buildup against the aspirations of the nation for reconciliation and peaceful reunification will result in their own disgraceful ruin.
We do not want war, but deal merciless blows to the provokers who intend to do harm to us.
The South Korean warmaniacs who are recklessly trying to unleash a fratricidal war and those who make money by selling lethal weapons to them will not get off scotfree.
