S. Korean Organization Denounces U.S. for Escalating Confrontation
Pyongyang, December 23 (KCNA) -- The People for Achieving Peace and Reunification of south Korea at a rally outside the U.S. embassy in Seoul on Dec. 19 denounced the U.S. for escalating confrontation in and around the Korean peninsula.

The speakers at the rally recalled the U.S. trumpeted about cooperation for defending Japan and south Korea with missiles and disclosed this is aimed to build a triangular missile defence system with south Korea and Japan under the pretext of crisis on the Korean peninsula and a military alliance.

They said that the military alliance among south Korea, U.S. and Japan is for the U.S. and Japan and is to escalate south-north confrontation and the crisis of nuclear confrontation in Northeast Asia, and thus hinders the peace and reunification of the Korean peninsula.

They strongly accused U.S. of trying to build the military alliance under the pretext of the "north's nuclear and missile threats".

The naval blockade against the north called for by the U.S. is so dangerous as to cause a military conflict in the Korean peninsula, they said, stressing that sanctions, pressure and military confrontation would never help solve the "north's nuclear and missile issue".

They demanded the U.S. immediately halt the sanctions and pressure racket that can give rise to the bad cycle of confrontation.
