Press
Release
This year marks the 60th
anniversary of the signing of the Armistice Agreement that ended
hostilities on the Korean peninsula. One of the conditions of the
Armistice Agreement was it would be converted to a genuine peace
agreement and over time normal diplomatic relations would be
established between the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea
(DPRK) and the United State (US).
After 60 years the US has failed to
honour and uphold this fundamental aspect of the Armistice Agreement
and they continue under the false command of the United Nations (UN)
to maintain over 30,000 troops plus nuclear weapons on the Korean
peninsula.
As a result of more recent developments
the position on the Korean peninsula is now more dangerous. As well
as additional sanctions being imposed on the DPRK by the UN the US
together with its allies Great Britain, Australia, Japan and its
puppet regime South Korea on the 1st March launched one
of the biggest military exercises ever around the Korean peninsula
known as “Key Resolve and “Foal Eagle” which is intended to
last for two months. Although these military exercises are conducted
annually in the past they have been separate and as a result of
combining them they have assemble the largest military contingent
ever seen around the Korean peninsula since the signing of the
Armistice Agreement sixty years ago including nuclear warships,
stealth bombers with nuclear weapons. Clearly it is the intention of
US along with its allies to cause as much tension as possible and
create an atmosphere of military confrontation on the Korean
peninsula.
In expressing our total opposition to
these latest developments that have further heighten tensions and
taken the Korean peninsula to the brink of a new Korean war. The
Oceania Solidarity Committee for the Peaceful and in dependent
Reunification of Korea will increase its activities and demands the
immediate end to the hostile policies of the US and its allies
including Australia.
