Rally for Peace and Disarmament Held in S. Korea
Pyongyang, May 29 (KCNA) -- The People for Achieving Peace and Reunification in south Korea held the 90th rally for peace and disarmament in Seoul on May 26 at which it denounced the puppet belligerent forces' war preparations.

A resolution read out at the rally accused the "Ministry of National Defense" of confirming recently the proposal for adjusting the "basic plan for defense reform" the keynote of which is to preferentially push forward the introduction of latest offensive weapons for the ground force.

Noting that the share of expenses for introducing U.S. made weapons will increase in the "mid-term defense plan for 2010-2014" to be confirmed in the future and the military budget for next year, the resolution demanded an immediate cancellation of such plan.

The ministry is pushing ahead with the expansion of the Mugon-ri drill ground despite the opposition of the inhabitants in Ohyon-ri, the resolution noted, adding that this is part of the moves to carry out the U.S. strategy for a war of aggression against the north.

It called upon all the people to turn out in the actions demanding a stop to the introduction of U.S. made weapons and arms reduction for peace.

The resolution declared the organization would wage a dynamic struggle for peace against war in firm solidarity with the inhabitants to protect their native place from the military's unilateral action to grab land.
