Speakers at the meeting said that Japan's bid to exercise the "right to collective self-defense" is nothing but the declaration that Japan is a state able to fight a war and will threaten international peace and actually combat.

Japan may find the way out in a war to tide over its economic crisis, they said, calling upon people from different social standings to turn out in the all-people movement for checking Japan's bid to exercise the "right to collective self-defense".

A joint declaration was adopted at the meeting.

The south Korean authorities have connived at Japan's exercise of the "right to collective self-defense", the declaration said, demanding they clarify the opposition stand on this occasion and stop the moves to conclude a military agreement with Japan as a practical measure.

It expressed the will to create public opinion opposing the "right to collective self-defense" and boost the joint action with the peace-loving forces in Japan.
