The statement accused the Lee regime of its moves to get warships of the Japan "Self-Defense Force" involved in the PSI-related maritime interception and search drills to be staged at Pusan Port and in waters off it in October.

It is hard to repress resentment against the authorities' traitorous act to let the Japan SDF take part in the north-targeted military exercises this year which marks the centenary since the fabrication of the brigandish "Korea-Japan Annexation Treaty", it said, adding:

It is an intolerable act of treachery to seek to plug aggressors into war exercises against fellow countrymen.

The statement urged the Lee group of traitors to stop at once sycophancy toward Japan as evidenced by the involvement of the Japan SDF into the maneuvers, increasing the danger of war on the Korean Peninsula.
