UK KOREAN FRIENDSHIP ASSOCIATION
London 24th of February 2011
The UK Korean Friendship Association today issued the following statement in connection with the decision of the US imperialists and south Korean puppets to go ahead with the holding of the Foal Eagle/Key Resolve aggressive military exercises from the 28th of February to 10th of March which involve a large number of US and south Korean puppet troops.
These exercises fly in the face of the trend to relax the tension on the Korean peninsula and build confidence between the north and south of Korea.The holding of such aggressive war exercises is tantamount to throwing a wet blanket over the magnanimous peace proposals made by the DPRK.The holding of the exercises is an intolerable challenge to reunification and peace in Korea but also in north east Asia and the world.These exercises will result in greatly increased tension in Korea bringing the situation back to a state of near war.
The independent and peace loving DPRK had several highly significant and constructive proposals for defusing tension,building confidence and for peace and reunification.These included the statement of DPRK political parties and organisations, proposals for a meeting between lawmakers of the north and south as well military talks between north and south.These proposals have been turned down by south Korea and the military talks were abrogated by the south Korean side.Now the US imperialists and south Korean puppets have shown their true faces as aggressors and war provokers to the world by pushing ahead with holding such aggressive exercises as Foal Eagle/Key Resolve.
These exercises not only threaten the independence and dignity of the DPRK,representing an insidious attempt to stifle Juche socialism by military force but vastly increase the danger of war and conflict in east Asia.If a war is started by these exercises it could quickly become a 'nuclear exchange' and involved other countries in the Asia -Pacific.
UK KFA demands that these exercises are cancelled unconditionally and immediately.The US and south Korea must refrain from provoking a war.
