Canada – Accomplice in Aggravation of Situation on Korean Peninsula

Canada conducted once again an operation called “Neon” starting from September 20 at the sea off the Korean peninsula under the pretext of keeping watch over acts of violating UN “sanctions resolutions”.

Canada is an active follower of the anti-DPRK hostile policy and the Indo-Pacific strategy of the U.S., and its reckless military moves are worsening the situation of the Northeast Asia.

Canada has been following the U.S. in its anti-DPRK hostile policy for more than 70 years, starting with the participation in the Korean war. It has consistently engaged in hostile acts against our Republic. For instance, it has conducted the operation “Neon” since 2018 under the pretext of implementing the UN “sanctions resolutions” fabricated by the U.S.

On September 23, the Prime Minister of Canada issued a so-called joint statement together with the traitorous south Korean puppet Yoon Suk Yeol who came to Canada. The statement took issue with our measures of strengthening self-defensive capabilities and clarified Canada’s position to continue with the operation “Neon”. This is yet another political provocation against us.

Canada’s servile act of following the U.S. is a perilous act of worsening the ever-aggravating situation in the Northeast Asia.

Since 2018, Canada has been dispatching military equipment including Canadian Air Force’s patrol plane“CP-140 Aurora” several times every year to the vicinity of Korean peninsula.

Recently, Canada commenced Operation “Neon” in the vicinity of Korean peninsula at a time when tension grows in the region. This will only result in aggravation of the regional situation.

The international media has branded Canada as an “absolute accomplice of the U.S.”. They ridiculed Canada by publishing their views which says “What is the reason for going through troubles of toiling a long way to the northeast Asia thousands of kilometers from home?” and “In what provision of UNSC resolution has it mentioned that you can keep surveillance over territorial airspace and waters in the vicinity of a sovereign state to monitor the evasion of UN sanctions?”.

The reality shows that the repeated remarks of Canada of its “independent diplomacy” and “active efforts for peace and security of the Pacific” are nothing but flowery words to hide its true nature as the faithful dog of the U.S.

Canada should carefully consider over the outcome of its deep-rooted tendency of toeing the U.S. line and control its actions.
