SEOUL (AFP) - North Korea Thursday accused US and South Korean troops of stirring up confrontation and tension on the peninsula, as President Barack Obama announced a date for a US envoys visit to Pyongyang.
The North has made sincere efforts to defuse tensions on the peninsula and improve cross-border relations, Rodong Sinmun, the Norths ruling communist party newspaper, said in a commentary. However, the bellicose forces of the United States and South Korea are going ahead with frantic moves for a war of aggression against the DPRK (North Korea), it said.
This once again clearly indicates that they are primarily to blame for escalating the military confrontation and tension and increasing the danger of a war.
The United States stations 28,500 troops to defend the South against any attack by the North.
