Immediate Halt to Construction of Jeju Navy Base Demanded in S. Korea
Pyongyang, June 18 (KCNA) -- The Jeju Headquarters of the South Side Committee for Implementing the June 15 Joint Declaration demanded the puppet authorities stop at once the construction of the Jeju navy base on Wednesday, according to south Korean Yonhap News.

If the navy base is built on Jeju Island, the U.S. forces will regard it as natural to use the base under the south Korea-U.S. "SOFA", the organization charged and continued:

The frequent call of U.S. warships at Jeju Island would further escalate the military tensions on the Korean Peninsula.

It declared it would join all other reunification movement organizations in the actions against the construction of the navy base, a threat to the peace on the peninsula and in the rest of Northeast Asia.
