According to the white paper, no sooner had traitor Lee Myung Bak took office than he drastically expanded the scope of military exchange and cooperation with the Japanese reactionaries.

It said:

He set up the "working council for defense exchange and cooperation", a permanent working military consultative organization, in January 2008 and concluded a "protocol on defense exchange" and decided to boost military exchange in all aspects at the talks between the defense ministers in April 2009.

He rolled up his sleeves to fake up the south Korea-Japan "joint declaration on security" which means a military alliance, in particular.

In January 2011 when the Japanese defense minister visited south Korea, he promised to conclude the General Security of Military Information Agreement the keynote of which is to establish military strategies and exchange information about nukes and missiles in "contingency in the north".

After coming to power, Lee opted for intensifying joint military drills with the Japan "Self-Defense Forces", claiming that south Korea could not cope with military muscle of the nuclear capable north and China only through joint sea search and rescue trainings with Japan.

In his New Year diplomatic speech and his policy speech at the ceremony for opening the plenary session of the Diet in January last year former Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan set it as Japan's main orientation of diplomatic policy to build "future-oriented relations" by further strengthening bilateral cooperative relations including cooperation in the security field with south Korea.

Considering Lee Myung Bak's seizure of power and his action taken to boost the military nexus with Japan as the golden opportunity, the Japanese reactionaries buckled down in real earnest to rewriting or revising the laws obstructive to the moves to militarize Japan including the "Pacifist Constitution" which they could not push forward. For instance, they fabricated a "new bill for revising the Law on SDF" and the "bill for revising the law on the situation in the surrounding areas" which call for expanding the radius of SDF's operation which was confined to Japan's territorial waters to the whole Asia-Pacific region. In late December last year they convened a security meeting at which they drastically eased the "three principles of arms export," making it possible to jointly develop latest weapons with other countries and export weapons to them.

In June this year they provided a legal foundation for going nuclear by inserting words "security guarantee" in the "basic law on atomic energy." They paved the way for pushing forward space militarization by deleting the provision that space research should be conducted for peaceful purposes from the "basic law on space". They are now stepping up the laying of the legal foundation for turning Japan into a "state capable of waging a war".

They are speeding up the restructuring of the SDF and its arms buildup in the direction of letting it carry out the duty for overseas aggression.

The intensified military nexus between the south Korean puppet regime and the Japanese reactionaries is leading to the formation of the U.S.-Japan-south Korea triangular military alliance.

Openly uttering "he would not urge Japan to apologize for its past crimes", Lee has held more than 20 rounds of talks with the Japanese reactionaries so far. But he has never put on the table such sensitive political and military issues as the issue of liquidating Japan's past history and the issue of militarist revival.

On the contrary, Lee vociferated about "the diplomacy through exchange of heads of state between south Korea and Japan" and visits of lawmakers and politicians of the two sides, bringing into bolder relief his pro-Japanese stance in all fields including politics, economy, military affairs and culture.

When Japanese Prime Minister Fukuda at a meeting with Lee in July 2008 proposed to include the description of Tok Islets as part of the territory of Japan in "new guidelines for teaching" social subjects for senior middle schoolers of Japan, Lee asked Fukuda to "wait for some time."

When the Japanese reactionaries formally issued a "diplomatic blue book" in April 2010, claiming that "Tok Islets are part of the territory of Japan," Lee shut his eyes to this issue, calling for "quiet diplomacy."

He zealously opted for tightening the tie-up with the Japanese reactionaries against the DPRK. He requested Japan to support his position urging the north to dismantle "its nukes" first and his policy of "no nukes, opening and 3 000 dollars" on several occasions including a meeting held in Japan in April 2008. He pledged to make positive cooperation with the Japanese reactionaries to see the realization of their stand that the DPRK-Japan relations can be normalized only after the DPRK's comprehensive settlement of "nuclear and missile issues and the issue of Japanese abductees." He connived, shielded and backed Japan's moves to stage a comeback to Korea in return for its cooperation and support over the "issue of north's nukes" and the "sanctions against it."

At talks held with China and Japan in May 2010 he implored them for "cooperation in slapping sanctions against the north", crying over the "Cheonan" warship incident.

When Japanese Prime Minister Noda paid a visit to south Korea in October 2011, Lee begged him for cooperation over the "issue of north's nukes." In return for it he shut his eyes to the sexual slavery for the Imperial Japanese Army and its moves to grab part of the territory of Korea and agreed to start the second south Korea-Japan "joint research in the new era" to establish "future-oriented relations".

It is only the clan of the "Saenuri Party" that shields, patronizes and praises Lee's pro-Japanese acts.

They are the same despicable pro-U.S. and pro-Japanese lackeys as Lee and accomplices in political and military nexus with the Japanese reactionaries.

The military nexus now being tightened between the south Korean puppet forces and the Japanese reactionaries according to the U.S. strategic need is now posing the danger of a new war to the Korean Peninsula and gravely threatening the peace and security in Northeast Asia and the rest of the world.

The Korean nation can never allow the Korean Peninsula to turn into a theatre of competition among outsiders again and the Koreans to become their miserable victims due to the crimes of Lee Myung Bak and the clan of the "Saenuri Party", concluded the white paper.
