Lee Myung Bak Group Accused of Acting Guide for Japan's Reinvasion

Pyongyang, May 18 (KCNA) -- Some time ago, the military authorities of south Korea said that Defense Minister Kim Kwan Jin would go to Japan and conclude a pact on the protection of defense secrets and an Acquisition and Cross-Servicing Agreement with the Japanese counterpart. When these are concluded, they will be the first military agreements ever to be concluded by south Korea with Japan after the end of the colonial rule by the Japanese imperialists. It asserted that even mandarins of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade of south Korea would be involved in that diplomacy to handle the issue of Japan's past history including the issue of comfort women for the Imperial Japanese Army separately from the issue of military cooperation with Japan.

Rodong Sinmun Friday observes in a bylined commentary in this regard:

The Lee group of traitors makes no scruple of opting for concluding military agreements with Japan to realize its long-cherished ambition for invading the north even with the backing of Japan. This amounts to paving the way for the Japanese reactionaries' reinvasion.

The "GSOMIA" which the puppet forces seek to conclude with Japan under the pretext of sharing military information about the DPRK and the "ACSA" aimed at providing logistic support to south Korea in "contingency" on the Korean Peninsula under the signboard of "disaster rescue operation" pursue one and the same ulterior goal, that is, the military cooperation and collusion with Japan for a war against the DPRK.

The Lee group's reckless moves to tighten the military nexus with Japan is a link in the chain efforts to knock into shape the "triangular military alliance" pushed forward by the U.S. master.

The Lee group is the traitors and war maniacs putting the five traitors in 1905 into the shade.

The nation should not allow Lee to go scot-free as he is playing the above-said dirty role.
