The statement said that the situation of the Korean Peninsula has been put on a very dangerous phase by the exercises, Key Resolve and Foal Eagle.

Obstacles standing in the way of Korea's reunification are attributable to the forces aggravating the situation of the peninsula systematically, it said, adding:

The south Korean puppet authorities replied with war moves to the proposal of the DPRK for having wide-ranging dialogue between the north and the south.

It is just the U.S. and the south Korean authorities that stand against the reunification of Korea.

We demand that they halt at once the Key Resolve and Foal Eagle joint military exercises against the DPRK.

If they finally take to the road of war of aggression against the DPRK, they will surely face a stern punishment by the world people.
