U.S. President Obama and Japanese Prime Minister Abe held talks at the White House on April 29 at which they agreed to revise the "U.S.-Japan Defence Cooperation Guidelines", which consider the whole world including the Korean peninsula as the operation sphere of the Japan's "Self-Defence Forces".

At the talks the U.S. decided to support even the bid of Japan, war criminal state, for permanent membership of the UNSC.

The statement dismissed the decision as an insult to the Korean people who had suffered under the Japanese imperialists' colonial rule.

If the U.S. allows Japan to land on the peninsula in contingency, pursuant to the guidelines, the peaceful reunification of the peninsula will be more difficult and extreme uneasiness will prevail in the north and the south, the statement noted, and continued:

The closer U.S.-Japan cooperation in defence would scrap Japan's policy of exclusive defence and, consequently, spark off hot arms race in East Asia including the peninsula and result in escalating military tension in the region and the rest of the world.

The statement clarified the following stands:

First. The agreement on revising the "U.S.-Japan Defence Cooperation Guidelines" should be nullified at once as it threatens the peace on the Korean peninsula, Asia and the rest of the world.

Second. The U.S. government should abandon its ambition for military supremacy and make a switchover to peace-loving diplomacy for dialogue and cooperation.

Third. The Japanese government should apologize to the world for its war crimes, abide by the Pacifist Constitution and stop pursuing its ambition to emerge a military giant.

Fourth. The Christians in the north and the south will pray and take action in solidarity with world churches and conscience of the whole world aspiring after peace so as to preserve peace on the peninsula, in East Asia and the rest of the world.
