Speakers there accused the diplomatic and military authorities of the U.S. and south Korea of opening the above-said talks for tightening their "alliance" that day.

They held that the U.S. and the south Korean authorities would be closeted over the issues of ensuring reinforcements of the U.S. forces in "contingency" on the Korean Peninsula, providing stable conditions for the U.S. troops' presence in south Korea and realizing their "strategic flexibility," etc. for the purpose of tightening the "alliance" for aggression and stepping up their hostile policy toward the DPRK.

They also blasted the talks for contemplating the discussion on the issue of staging joint military exercises in waters for months to come under the pretext of the "Cheonan" case.

They urged the U.S. and south Korean authorities to stop at once such acts of turning deaf ear to the international call for the settlement of the issues on the Korean Peninsula through dialogue and by peaceful means.

They also said that they should stop the discussion on the follow-up measures concerning the extension of "the transfer of wartime operational control", properly transfer the prerogative of military command over the army and immediately halt the dispatch of troops under the pretext of "alliance".
