The military authorities have chosen the road of staging joint military exercises with the naval forces of Japan led by a U.S. nuclear aircraft carrier, the commentary said, and went on:

This supports Japan's exercise of the "right to collective self-defense", making it hard to prevent the "Self-Defense Forces" from advancing into the Korean peninsula.

This is also an act of chilling the atmosphere of improving the inter-Korean relations.

Urging the authorities to clarify their stand of opposing the exercise of the "right to collective self-defense", the commentary demanded them stop all military cooperation with Japan as it encourages Japan in the revival of militarism.
