Korean Central News Agency Jan 24 KCNA on Japan's military expansion policy ��� Pyongyang, January 24 (KCNA) -- Japan reportedly worked out a basic policy as regards an "emergency legislation" on January 21. The basic policy was worked out under the pretext that it is the responsibility and duty of the state to adjust the system of coping with an armed attack in peace time under the constitution. It is a war document designed to legalise Japan's policy of military overseas expansion. It is as clear as noonday that the document has a very baneful impact on regional peace and stability. ��� Japan's clamour about the non-existent "armed attack from other country" is a pretext to justify the "emergency legislation." ��� Japan has finished the working out of the basic policy as regards the "law on emergency" the shaping of which has long been stepped up despite the opposition of the people at home and abroad. This means that Japan has seized the opportunity to pursue the policy of military overseas expansion in real earnest. ��� In the wake of the "September 11 incident" Japan's "self-defence forces" have intensified overseas military actions. ��� Japan has military muscle strong enough to realise the aggressive ambition of the Japanese militarists and ultra-nationalist forces to recover from their past defeat. ��� What remains to be done by Japan is to perfect a legal and institutional mechanism so as to emerge a military power and carry out overseas aggression. ��� Japan tries to act as the leader of the Asia-Pacific region, not bound by any law. ��� Japan, oblivious of the lesson from the defeat, tries to take the road of reconquest in a bid to realise its wild ambition for the "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere" in reliance upon its military and economic potentials. This will only precipitate Japan's self-destruction. ��� The international community should be vigilant against Japan's efforts to become a military power and moves to turn its society into a right-wing conservative one. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bush's projected trip of S. Korea protested ��� Pyongyang, January 24 (KCNA) -- The south headquarters of the National Alliance for the Country's Reunification reportedly released a statement on January 16 protesting Bush's projected trip of South Korea. This planned trip hints that the Korean nation will fall victim to unilateral hegemonism of the U.S., the statement said. ��� Stressing that the inter-Korean relations of cooperation and unity based on the June 15 joint declaration is incompatible with the U.S. hard line toward the DPRK, it said: ��� Designating the DPRK as a target of its war operation, the United States is now forcing upon it the inspection of mass destruction weapons such as nuke, missile, conventional arms and biological and chemical weapons while rendering the bilateral relations extremely strained. In another development, it announced a plan for establishing a missile defense system and is drawing the South Korean authorities to its implementation. ��� The U.S. should immediately stop such political intervention and take a sincere approach to the improvement of the DPRK-U.S. relations on the basis of the agreement reached between them before, squarely seeing the will of the Korean nation for reconciliation and reunification. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ South Korea-U.S. cooperation in war moves under fire ��� Pyongyang, January 24 (KCNA) -- The central committee of the National Democratic Front of South Korea issued a statement as regards the grave situation prevailing on the Korean peninsula. Chief Pak Kwang Gi of the NDFSK Pyongyang mission at a press conference held here today with Korean and foreign reporters attending made public the statement denouncing the U.S. and the South Korean bellicose elements for their undisguised cooperation in war moves. ��� The statement says: ��� Bellicose mandarins of the Bush administration fly into South Korea one after another after it proclaimed this year as a "year of war." ��� On January 3 three congressmen, advocates of the missile defense system, flew into Seoul and on January 17 a group of republicans led by the speaker of the U.S. house of representatives, ill-famed "advocates of arch enemy conception" ��� U.S. defense secretary Rumsfeld and the chairman of the U.S. joint chiefs of staff are expected to visit Seoul. ��� In mid-February Bush-led warmongers are expected to visit Seoul. ��� Owing to the war preparations of the Bush administration to invade the DPRK dark clouds of war are gathering over the Korean peninsula where the process of reconciliation, cooperation, peace and reunification has been underway since the publication of the June 15 joint declaration. Bush-led warmongers' tour of Seoul is a war junket designed to block the improvement of inter-Korean relations, inveigle the South Korean authorities into their war strategy and thus put into practice the U.S. reckless war plan to invade the DPRK. The developments are reminiscent of the tour of Dulles on the eve of the June 25 Korean War. ��� The situation on the Korean peninsula in the far east is getting so tense that the same war of aggression as that in Afghanistan is about to break out. ��� We cannot remain a passive on-looker to the serious developments. ��� It is the fixed will and determination of the Korean people to preserve the basic spirit of the June 15 joint declaration, a programme for independent reunification common to the nation, and, through its implementation, put an end to the tragedy of national division in this land. ��� The U.S. should have a proper understanding of the Korean people's unshakable will for independent reunification against the U.S. and act with discretion. It also should put an immediate halt to the anachronistic war preparations against the north and moves to turn South Korea into a permanent colony and pull lethal weapons and aggressor troops out of South Korea at once. ��� The present authorities of South Korea should draw a lesson from the miserable end of the flunkeyist traitors who were sternly tried by the nation, immediately stop cooperating with the U.S. in war moves and sincerely implement the joint declaration in cooperation with the fellow countrymen. ��� The statement calls upon all the people to turn out in an anti-U.S. struggle to frustrate the war tour of Bush and Rumsfeld. ��� Then Pak Kwang Gi answered questions put by reporters. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ _________________________________________________ KOMINFORM P.O.
