Pyongyang, April 3 (KCNA) -- U.S. President Bush appointed John Bolton as deputy secretary of state for international security.
In this regard foreign press said it has become clearer that the bush administration approaches China and North Korea with a hard-line and aims to strengthen its alliance with Japan.
This is fully verified by a testimony made by Bolton at a hearing of the senate foreign relations committee for approval of his appointment on March 29 and his assertions regarding political and diplomatic issues.
In his testimony he made arrogant remarks that he would adopt a more realistic and tough policy toward the nuclear weapon and ballistic missile issue of North Korea, thus slandering the political system of the DPRK and putting pressure upon it.
His remarks prove again that the bush administration is persistently seeking its criminal aim to escalate the tensions on the Korean peninsula and harass Asia-Pacific peace and stability, pursuant to a more hostile policy toward the DPRK.
As everyone knows, the international community has expressed deep concern about the fact that the foreign and security policy-making team of the bush administration is made up of those hawks who were active during the Cold War.
The appointment of Bolton and his bellicose and provocative remarks further increase the concern of the international community and sharpen our alertness.
Before his appointment he called for "strengthening the alliance" with Japan and held that "Japan should remove the existing restrictions related to security and play a more active role."
His utterances are little short of egging Japan on rolling back the "peace constitution" and taking an active part in a war to invade Korea and other wars for reinvasion.
The appointment of Bolton clearly indicates that the Bush administration's plan to revive the Cold War is taking concrete shape.
