Removal of Military Standoff and Danger of War between North and South of Korea Urged
Pyongyang, January 5 (KCNA) -- Positive measure should be taken to avoid acute military conflict and remove the danger of war between the north and the south in order to save the Koreans from the crisis of a war, improve the inter-Korean relations and make a new breakthrough in national reunification, Rodong Sinmun Thursday stresses in an article.

The article says:

It is the consistent stand of the DPRK to safeguard the security of the compatriots and peace of the country without fighting with the fellow countrymen. The DPRK will as ever make positive efforts to preserve peace on the Korean peninsula and security of the nation.

Today the peninsula has turned into the biggest hotbed in the world, the hotbed of a nuclear war, owing to the U.S. aggression strategy to dominate Asia and its reckless war provocation moves.

It is entirely thanks to the DPRK's powerful nuclear deterrent that a nuclear war has not yet broken out on the peninsula though the U.S. has escalated its nuclear blackmail and threat to the DPRK.

This being a hard reality, the south Korean puppet authorities are getting frantic in the provocation of war against the north in collusion with the U.S., their master, while getting vocal about the "nuclear threat from the north".

Arms buildup and war games posing a threat to the rival is the main factor rendering the situation on the peninsula extremely tense and laying a serious obstacle in the way of improving the inter-Korean relations.

The discontinuation of arms buildup and war games against the compatriots in south Korea would remove the source of military conflict and danger of war and open an important breakthrough to improving the inter-Korean relations.
