The U.S. and the present regime of south Korea held secret negotiations for deploying THAAD in south Korea last year and a report that it would be deployed within the first half of the year has been released, speakers said at the conference, adding:

The scenario for building the U.S.-Japan-south Korea missile defense system through the THAAD deployment is very dangerous as it would escalate military tensions in the Korean Peninsula and Northeast Asia.

It will only offer Japan a good opportunity to revive militarism and emerge a military giant.

They refuted the U.S. and the south Korean regime's false claim that THAAD deployment doesn't mean south Korea's involvement in the U.S. MD.

Then the participants staged a demonstration demanding a stop to THAAD deployment.
