Pyongyang, August 18 (KCNA) -- Organizations for friendship and solidarity with the Korean people and international democratic organizations issued a joint statement on August 17 as regards the fact that the U.S. began the Ulji Freedom Guardian joint military exercises for aggression once again on behalf of the associations for friendship and solidarity with the Korean people and the international democratic organizations. They included the Afro-Asian People's Solidarity Organization, the Asia-Pacific Regional Committee for Supporting Peaceful Reunification of Korea, the Australia-DPRK Association for Friendship and Culture, the Denmark-DPRK Friendship Association, the Indonesia-Korea Association for Friendship and Cultural Exchange, the Ireland-Korea Friendship Association, the Japan Committee for Supporting the Independent and Peaceful Reunification of Korea, the Korean Friendship Association headquartered in Spain, the Laos-Korea Friendship Association, the Mongolia-Democ ratic Korea Friendship Bridge Association, the Nepalese Committee for Promotion of Reunification of Korea, the New Zealand-DPRK Society, the Karachi Branch of the Pakistan-Korea Friendship Association, the Peruvian Committee for Supporting the Independent and Peaceful Reunification of Korea, the Philippines Solidarity Committee for Peace and Reunification in the Korean Peninsula, the Russian Group for Solidarity with the DPRK and Vietnam-DPRK Friendship Association. The ceaseless U.S.-south Korea joint military exercises prove that it is none other than the U.S. which brings vicious cycle of confrontation and tension and the danger of war to the Korean Peninsula. The statement said: The situation on the Korean Peninsula is aggravating day by day. That blame falls on the south Korean authorities pursuing the policy for confrontation with the DPRK for keeping power. The south Korean authorities should admit that they drove the north-south relations into an extreme phase through anti-DPRK leaflets operations and "mine explosion" case and staged the joint military exercises with the U.S., leading the situation on the Korean Peninsula to the brink of war, at a time when all the Koreans are grandly celebrating the 70th anniversary of the country's liberation. Such unreasonable and dangerous military exercises and smear campaign are denounced and rejected worldwide and should be stopped. The statement strongly demanded the U.S. and the south Korean authorities stop at once the joint military exercises for aggression and roll back their policies of inciting hostility and confrontation with the DPRK. |
