The statement accused the United States of having increased the danger of a war on the Korean Peninsula since the signing of the AA in wanton violation of it.

The situation on the peninsula is so tense that a war may break out any moment, it said, denouncing the U.S. and the Lee Myung Bak regime for kicking off the largest-ever joint naval exercises for aggression against the DPRK in the East Sea of Korea.

It termed the joint military exercises dangerous war moves which might wreck the peace and stability in the Korean Peninsula and Northeast Asia and, moreover, spark off a new big war.

It stressed the need to abolish the AA, build a peace-keeping mechanism on the Korean Peninsula and thoroughly implement the June 15 joint declaration and the October 4 declaration for the purpose of achieving the independent reunification, peace and prosperity of the nation.

It demanded the United States and the Lee Myung Bak regime stop at once the joint military exercises threatening peace and opt for settling the issue through dialogue.
