U.S. Hit for Its Pressure on S. Korea for Higher Defence Cost

Pyongyang, November 22 (KCNA) -- More than 60 civic organizations of south Korea including the People's Joint Action and the People's Action for Peace against War had a rally outside the U.S. embassy in Seoul on November 18 denouncing the U.S. for burdening south Korea with more defence cost, the south Korean MBC said.

Speakers said that the U.S. is pressurizing south Korea to offer about 6 trillion won for defence.

The pressure is a robbery, they said, urging the "government" to stop the negotiations with the U.S. and discuss the withdrawal of the U.S. forces from south Korea.
