Terming the agreement hastily concluded by Japan and the south Korean puppet forces at the prodding of the U.S. under the absurd pretext of coping with "nuclear and missile threat" from the DPRK an intolerable act hostile to the DPRK, the statement said:

Acute military confrontation and tensions linger on the Korean peninsula due to the hideous moves of the U.S., Japan and other hostile forces against the DPRK.

Against this backdrop, Japan and the south Korean puppet forces concluded an agreement on military cooperation. This will only result in escalating the danger of war on the Korean peninsula as it is an act of the lackeys of the U.S. to do harm to the DPRK, pursuant to the U.S. hostile policy and nuclear threat and blackmail against the DPRK.

The conclusion of the agreement is a blatant challenge to the Korean people and the international community aspiring after peace and stability on the Korean peninsula and in the region.

The situation clearly proves that the U.S. and its vassal forces are chiefly to blame for harassing peace and stability and ratcheting up confrontation and tensions.

Through the conclusion of the agreement Japan seeks to pave the way for emerging a military giant and realizing the wild ambition for launching reinvasion and the south Korean puppet regime works hard to tide over the worst-ever ruling crisis.

However, it will only precipitate their self-destruction.
