The Korean People's Army (KPA) of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea
(DPRK) on Saturday strongly condemned the projected joint military exercises by
South Korea and the United States.
"The US's aim is to wind up its preparations for preemptive attack on the
DPRK and drive the situation on the peninsula to an extreme tension in a bid to
block the positive process of reconciliation and cooperation between the north
and the south and force the DPRK to accept the unjust demands raised by the US
at the six-party talks," a spokesman of the KPA's Panmunjom Mission said in a
statement.
"It is quite unjustifiable for the US side to stage such a large- scale
provocative war exercise under the simulated conditions of an all-out war
against the DPRK with huge forces and the latest war hardware involved," the
spokesman added.
The spokesman said that the US side's action only bars the KPA from expecting
anything from the dialogue with the United States and reinforces its judgment on
building up force of self-defence to defend the country and its sovereignty.
"The KPA is fully ready to respond to a war in any time. We will closely
follow the US side's war exercise with a high degree of vigilance and take a
prompt decisive countermeasure," the spokesman said.
