The emergency people's action for the resignation of the Park Geun Hye regime called a press conference, at which it clarified that the defense secretary's south Korean junket is aimed to put pressure on the DPRK.

The south Korean authorities are going to take the visit as an opportunity of escalating military tension with the help of the U.S. and weathering their crisis, it charged.

Members of the action against deployment of THAAD and the people's action for peace against war staged a demonstration, chanting slogans demanding peace against THAAD and war.

They contended that the south Korean and U.S. authorities should immediately lift sanctions and pressure on the DPRK and opt for dialogue and negotiations without preconditions if they truly want a solution to the nuclear issue on the Korean peninsula.
