and south Korean embassies on Monday 15th of March in protest at the
continuing war excercises in South Korea jointly with US military
DETAILS OF TIME AND LOCATION OF PICKETS
2pm-3-30pm SOUTH KOREAN EMBASSY 60 Buckingham Gate Victoria SW1

The US and south Korean warmongers are staging again the joint military
exercises codenamed “Key Resolve” and “Foal Eagle” aimed at the invasion
of north Korea from March 8 to 18 throughout south Korea despite the
unanimous opposition of all the Korean people and the world peace-loving
people desirous of a lasting peace and security of the Korean Peninsula and
Korea’s reunification.
Participating in these aggressive war drills are 10 000 US troops stationed in
south Korea and 8 000-strong reinforcements from the US overseas military
bases, totaling 18 000, and a huge number of the south Korean puppet army.
As an undeniable evidence to the hostile policy toward the DPRK and the
inter-Korean confrontational policy pursued by the US and the south Korean
regime, the upcoming drills will drive the already aggravated inter-Korean
relations to a catastrophe and further exacerbate the showdown and tension
on the Korean Peninsula posing a sever threat to peace and security of not
only the north East Asian region but also the rest of the world.
As these drills are to be conducted at the time when the DPRK offered an
important proposal to conclude a peace treaty for establishing a durable
peace mechanism in the Korean Peninsula this year that marks the 60th year
of breakout of the Korean war, and exerts sincere efforts to realize it and
actively strives to improve the inter-Korean relations, their dangerousness
and consequences are rendered more grave.
The reality clearly shows that the US and south Korean war maniacs don’t
want peace of the Korean Peninsula nor the improved inter-Korean relations,
and what they pursue is only confrontation and war.
They should stop at once the provocative “Key Resolve” and “Foal Eagle”
war drills and abandon the arms buildup, mindful of the catastrophic
consequences to be entailed by their reckless war provocation moves.
The US is well advised to daringly discard its hostile policy to stifle the DPRK
and come out to the negotiating table to conclude a peace treaty aimed at
replacing the cease-fire of the Korean Peninsula with a lasting peace
mechanism.
The south Korean war fanatics should not take part in the confrontational
moves against the compatriots and aggressive war provocations in collusion
with the foreign forces, but take a resolute measure to improve the inter-
Korean relations in accordance with the trend of the times and the desire of
the fellow countrymen.
Now the south Korean people from different social segments denounce the
projected war drills as overt provocation to all the compatriots and world
peace-loving people desirous of peace, and never-to-be-pardoned challenge
which would bring about a nuclear war to the Korean Peninsula , and
vigorously wage the struggle against the US and war and for defending
peace.
We call on all people and all those who pays deep attention to the peace of
the Korean Peninsula and render firm support to the reunification cause of
the Korean people, to take part in the above said pickets/ solidarity actions in
condemnation of the war moves to invade the DPRK by the US imperialist
and south Korean warmongers.
