Pyongyang, April 11 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the DPRK Ministry of
Foreign Affairs gave the following answer to the question raised by KCNA
on Friday as regards the reckless remarks made by the U.S. secretary of
Defense against the DPRK under the pretext of arms buildup in the
Asia-Pacific region:
U.S. Secretary of Defense Hagel said during his recent junkets to
neighboring countries of the DPRK that the U.S. would deploy two more
Aegis ships in Japan by 2017 under the pretext of "aggression from north
Korea."
What he uttered were calculated remarks intended to shift the blame
for the escalating tension on the DPRK and justify the arms buildup for
carrying out the U.S. pivot to Asia-Pacific strategy.
Entering this year, the U.S. has persistently staged joint military
drills with south Korean puppet forces, blocking the detente on the
Korean peninsula and the process to improve the north-south relations
which were ascribable to the DPRK's sincere efforts and deliberately
straining the situation. This is pursuant to its strategic scenario to
invent a pretext for arms buildup in the Asia-Pacific.
The U.S. recent announcement of its plan to additionally deploy
Aegis ships is part of its moves to bolster up its missile defence
system targeting at big countries in Eurasia which has nothing to do
with the DPRK's nuclear issue.
The U.S. authorities including Hagel quite often talk about
"provocation" and "threat" from the DPRK but they can never conceal
their true colors as an aggressor.
Facts go to clearly prove that the U.S. is an arch criminal
disturbing peace and security and escalating tension on the Korean
peninsula and in Northeast Asia. -0-
