He said that the south Korean authorities show such strange double-dealing behavior as acting a "handshake of peace" and fingering joint declaration and agreement and the like before the world people and, behind the scene, shipping ultra-modern offensive weapons and holding joint military exercises. He emphasized that we can not but develop nonstop super powerful weapon systems to remove the potential and direct threats to the security of our country that exist in the south.
