The ,British Group for the Study of the Juche Idea (BGSJ) and the Korean Friendship Association of the UK ( KFA UK)  today issued a joint statement in support of the  press statement titled " Japan's reckless possession of preemptive attack capability will only expose the archipelago as a common target of regional countries" that was made by the  policy section chief of the Institute for Japan Studies under the DPRK Foreign Ministry on Thursday 20th of March.

Recently , Japan has tried to take advantage of the worsening international situation caused by the US imperialists . Japan is increasing its expansionist and war like moves under the deceptive cloak  of peace . The Japanese militarists plan to deploy domestically produced long range missiles to strike the DPRK and China. The missiles are modified version of type 12 surface-to-ship guided missiles possessed by the Japan Ground "Self-Defence Force", which are intended for attack even on the ground targets with about 1 000 km range.

Japan is also looking to deploy hypersonic missiles and Cruise missiles .

Japan is looking for revenge for its defeat 80 years ago and also to revive the Japanese empire which was known as the "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere ". This is being backed up by the US imperialists.

As the    policy section chief of the Institute for Japan Studies under the DPRK Foreign Ministry correctly states  "All the facts go to clearly prove once again that all military means and various forms of movement directly targeting the DPRK as well as the aggressive and challenging consciousness against it are an object to be wiped out and that the DPRK efforts for bolstering up the defence capabilities are an indispensable contribution to thoroughly containing the provocations of enemy countries and maintaining the strategic balance and stability in the region."

We support the statement of  the  policy section chief of the Institute for Japan Studies under the DPRK Foreign Ministry because it draws attention to the increasing militarisation of Japan which is being ignored by many in Britain . The anti-imperialist , progressive and peace movement in Britain must do more to counter Japanese militarism.
