KCNA Commentary Slams Japan's Intention for Military Cooperation Abroad

Pyongyang, December 9 (KCNA) -- Japan plans to strengthen cooperation for mutual defence through the formation of "semi-ally" relationship with Britain. Recently Japan and Britain held "2+2" meetings of foreign ministers and defense ministers where they discussed the issue of "agreement on status of dispatched units". They also identified the issue of stepping up the research into a medium-range missile to be mounted on fighters which the two countries have carried out as a common project for three years and thus produce a trial missile which will be miniaturized with a long-range strike capability. This is an indication of the sordid intention of the Japanese reactionaries to inveigle other countries into military cooperation for accelerating the realization of their ambition for reinvasion and the revival of militarism. Japan's zealous moves for overseas military cooperation are a dangerous development that can not be overlooked. The general goal of Japan's policy has now been oriented to realizing the ambition of the militarist overseas aggression. Japan is actively supporting the U.S. moves for world domination and is crazy about military cooperation. This is just to bring back the imperial era and realize the ambition for reinvasion of Korea, not to cope with "threat" from someone. If Japan opts for invasion, in cooperation with overseas aggression forces including the U.S., it will only face self-destruction. -0-
