Assailing this move of the U.S. the statement said: The above-said move is another act of aggression against the DPRK.

It is a dangerous action straining the situation in the Asia-Pacific region and sparking off an arms race.

The U.S. has tried to establish its system of military domination in various parts of the world, while staging a stereotyped psychological warfare for several decades under the pretext of coping with missile attack of potential enemies.

The U.S. secretary of Defense's recent open declaration that the new radar base is not targeted against China but against the DPRK more clearly reveals the hypocrisy of the U.S. claim that it has no hostile intent to the DPRK.

It is quite natural for the DPRK to further bolster up its nuclear deterrent for self-defence under the situation that the U.S. is steadily beefing up its military capability against the DPRK.

The statement vehemently condemned the U.S. move to build a new radar base in Japan.

It extended solidarity to the DPRK in its resolute struggle against the U.S. moves for aggression.
