WHO DISTURBS FAVORABLY GOING REGIONAL SITUATION:

KCNA Commentary

Pyongyang,  November 16  (KCNA)  --  Japan's  military  moves are  so  noisy  in the region recently. It recently conducted an  interceptor missile test in  league with the U.S. in  the waters off Hawaii.

In October  the Ground  "Self-Defense Force"  staged its  first joint  drill with the  UK army. It was reported that  it is the first time for it to  conduct a joint military drill with a foreign army on the mainland, except the U.S. army.

GSDF staged the first joint drill with the Indian army in a northeastern area of India. As  known,  unprecedentedly  getting  stronger  in  the  region  is  the  joint  effort  for defusing the danger of war and preserving peace and security. However, Japan is keen on disturbing the  regional situation, failing to take part in the brisk regional dialogue but getting more and more isolated.

Worse  still,  the  militarist  fanatics  of  Japan  are  getting  desperate  in  the  reckless military  moves  for  realizing  the  wild  ambition  for  overseas  expansion,  only  to  go against the trend of the times and the public aspiration. This can never be overlooked.

The Abe  regime decided to extend  the sphere of  SDF overseas dispatch  to Asia this year  although  it  was  confined  to Africa  under  the  signboard  of  UN  peace-keeping activities.

It established a  mission in NATO  and is putting efforts  in intensifying "cooperation" with its member states. The overseas advance of SDF  being expanded to across the world means  that Japan's military operation covers the whole world.

This also can be abused to secure a "pretext" for the Japanese  forces to be involved in a war of aggression in any part of the world as was in the past century.

It is  as clear  as noonday  that the  Japanese reactionaries  are seeking  to realize  their dirty  dream at  any  cost by  perfecting  the actual  fighting  capacity  of SDF  under  the pretext of "military cooperation" and "joint drill."

With no sleight of hand the militarist fanatics can ever hide their wild ambition. The international community is seriously concerned of the Japanese reactionaries’ bellicose moves destroying peace in the region and other parts of the world. Japan should never forget that the international community is keeping its sharp eye on such moves.
