Minju Joson Tuesday says this in a commentary. It goes on:

From the outset of the year the DPRK has made sincere efforts with the noble patriotic will to open up a turning phase for independent reunification, peace and prosperity by improving the deteriorated north-south relations at any costs.

The practical measures and sincere efforts of the DPRK provided an opportunity for improving the north-south relations.

Pressurized by the U.S., the puppet warmongers staged the Key Resolve and Foal Eagle joint military exercises in collusion with the U.S., chilling the atmosphere for the improvement of the north-south relations and pushing the situation on the Korean peninsula to an extreme pitch of strain.

This fully revealed the belligerent nature of the U.S., the very one wrecking peace, escalating tensions and increasing the danger of a war on the Korean peninsula, and the puppet forces kowtowing to it.

The Foal Eagle clearly proved once again that it is the most correct option for the nation that the DPRK has bolstered its self-defensive war deterrent under the unfurled banner of Songun.
