SEOUL - North Korea on Sunday warned SeoulÂ’s military buildup will adversely affect the communist stateÂ’s nuclear disarmament process. The NorthÂ’s state-sponsored Korean National Peace Committee issued a statement attacking South KoreaÂ’s purchase of advanced US-made fighter jets, its recent launch of a new warship and continuing military drills.
‘Their behavior is a treacherous criminal act ... wrecking the peace and spoiling inter-Korean relations,’ the committee’s unnamed spokesman said in the statement carried by the official Korean Central News Agency. ‘It will also adversely affect the process of settling the nuclear issue of the Korean Peninsula.’ |
