Pyongyang, September 23 (KCNA) -- The governor of Okinawa Prefecture reiterated his opposition to the existing plan to relocate the U.S. Marine Corps' Futenma Air Station within his prefecture in a speech given on Sept. 19 during his visit to the U.S.

He said that moving Futenma out of the prefecture is the best way to solve problems reasonably and promptly.

Should the base be moved to Henoko forcibly, it would trigger fierce anti-base movements across the prefecture, he added.
