Minju Joson Exposes Danger of "U.S.-Japan Defense Cooperation Guidelines"

Pyongyang, May 12 (KCNA) -- The U.S. and Japanese ministers of foreign affairs and defense held a U.S.-Japan security consultative meeting in New York on April 27 at which they announced the new "U.S.-Japan defense cooperation guidelines" the keynote of which is to expand the sphere of U.S.-Japan military cooperation worldwide. Explaining the reason, the U.S. and Japan claim that there exist diverse security uneasiness and threat in the world including provocations from north Korea.

Commenting on this, Minju Joson Tuesday terms it sophism to label the DPRK a factor of disturbing peace and stability and secure a justification for carrying out the strategy for dominating the world.

Through the revised guidelines Japan got from the U.S. an approval to exercise the "right to collective self-defense" and came to have a military groundwork for countering China and other big powers by force of arms together with the U.S. forces, the commentary notes, and goes on:

The emergence of the military machine called the tightened U.S.-Japan alliance is rendering the situation in Northeast Asia tenser.

Now that Japan with considerably powerful military muscle is set to act as a shock brigade for carrying out the U.S. strategy to dominate Asia and proxy combat forces for implementing the strategy for rebalancing in the Asia-Pacific region, this is seriously disturbing the strategic stability in this region and posing a great threat to global peace and security.

Under such grave situation the DPRK will never remain a passive onlooker to this development but take all necessary measures in order to defend the sovereignty and security of the country and regional peace and stability.

The U.S. and Japan would be well advised to properly understand that the policy for showdown of force in Northeast Asia, the biggest hotspot in the world, will bring them a final ruin only.
