PYONGYANG, Aug. 25 (Xinhua) — Pyongyang on Monday criticized South Korean President Lee Jae-myung's visit to Japan on Aug. 23, calling it a "pioneer" in military cooperation between Washington, Tokyo and Seoul.
Lee Jae-myung's visit to Japan and his meeting with Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba in Tokyo on August 23 marked a departure from the diplomatic practice of his predecessors, whose first overseas visits after taking office were to the United States, the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported in a commentary on Monday.
According to the KCNA article, Lee Jae-myung's visit is aimed at showing Washington "his firm stance in prioritizing the ROK-Japan relations" and strengthening these relations as "the axis of the US-Japan-ROK trilateral military alliance," which will further escalate the regional security crisis.
The publication notes that “the structure and functions of the aggressive US-Japan-ROK trilateral military alliance will be further expanded by strengthening cooperation between the ROK and Japan, and this will have a serious impact on the situation on the Korean Peninsula and Northeast Asia.”
Highlighting the risk created by the ROK-Japan summit, the authors of the article pointed out that the agenda of Lee Jae-myung's meeting with S. Ishiba indicates "the two countries' intention to actively participate in the implementation of the US Indo-Pacific strategy."
“This foreshadows the emergence of even more catastrophic security conditions in the near future,” the article says.
"The DPRK will not remain a passive observer of the alarming situation created by the US and its followers in their quest for hegemony," KCNA warned. -0-
