U.S. and South Korean Warmongers' Saber Rattling Rapped Abroad

Pyongyang, March 20 (KCNA) -- The All India Indo-Korean Friendship Association, the All India Agricultural Workers' Union, the All-India Peasants' Union, the All India Students Federation, the Democratic Youth Federation of India and the All India Federation of Lawyers issued a joint statement on March 14 in denunciation of the Key Resolve and Foal Eagle joint military exercises being staged by the U.S. and the south Korean puppet bellicose forces.

The statement said that the U.S. anachronistic hostile policy towards the DPRK and the Lee Myung Bak "government's" treacherous and anti- reunification moves to escalate the confrontation have created so tense situation on the Korean Peninsula that a war may break out there any time.

It held that it is natural for the Korean People's Army to counter the enemies' any slight hostile acts of intruding into its inviolable territory, territorial waters and territorial air with merciless military actions.

The statement demanded the U.S. put an end to the hostile policy towards the DPRK, stop at once the military exercises in south Korea and withdraw all aggressor troops including weapons of mass destruction from there.

It urged the south Korean authorities to immediately stop following the U.S. and conducting their anti-DPRK campaign.

The chairman of the Indonesian Maritime Transport Trade Unions in a statement issued on Mar. 17 declared that if the U.S. and the south Korean authorities truly want the peace and progress in settling the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula, they should promptly discontinue the extremely adventurous and dangerous military exercises targeted against the DPRK.
