Pyongyang,
October 2 (KCNA) -- It is impossible to achieve independent development
of the nation, improve the north-south relations and achieve peace and
the reunification of the country unless the criminal south Korea-U.S.
"mutual defense treaty" legalizing aggression and war is scrapped.
Rodong Sinmun Wednesday says this in an article carried after the lapse
of 60 years since the conclusion of the treaty.
It goes on:
The south Korea-U.S. "mutual defense treaty" is an aggressive,
shackling and unequal one as it has disturbed inter-Korean
reconciliation, unity and reunification and imposed upon the south
Korean people only submission, disgrace, misfortune and disaster on the
basis of justification of the U.S. imperialist aggressor forces'
permanent presence in south Korea and the moves for a war against the
north.
The U.S. has maintained and reinforced its military presence in south Korea on the strength of the treaty.
The south Korean puppet regime is not in a position to protest
against arrogant GIs' all sorts of arbitrary practices but meets any
demand of the U.S. just to please its American master. This is the
deplorable reality brought about by the humiliating and shackling
relations imposed upon south Korea by the treaty.
The treaty is a main factor of creating an extreme danger of a
nuclear war on the Korean Peninsula and blocking the processes to mend
the inter-Korean relations and achieve national reunification.
Recently the U.S. has tightened its political and military ties with
south Korea, vitiating the hard-won atmosphere of dialogue and
escalating tension.
What the treaty has brought to the Korean nation is nothing but
continued division, deterioration of the north-south relations and
increasing danger of a nuclear war.
The reality goes to clearly prove that the treaty is a stumbling
block lying in the way of achieving national sovereignty, peace on the
Korean Peninsula and the reunification of the country. -0-
