Pyongyang, September 17 (KCNA) -- In recent days, Japan has directed efforts to tightening the military cooperation with its allies more than ever before, arousing concern of Asian countries.

Days ago, a confab of diplomatic and military bosses of Japan and Australia took place in Tokyo under the signboard of defense cooperation.

Reached there was an agreement on developing the semi-allied relations between the two countries onto a "higher level". And Australia agreed to introduce a new-type escort ship of Japan.

In this regard, the Japanese minister of Defence boasted as if the strengthening of their military cooperation is for regional peace and security, saying that the introduction of the escort ship would lead to the improved security in the Indo-Pacific region.

Japan, which created a precondition for military nexus through the conclusion of the "agreement on mutual supply of goods and manpower" with Australia long ago, actively participated in the meetings of AUKUS, an exclusive group of the Anglo-Saxons, with the offer of nuclear submarine to Australia as its core.

It has been already well known that Japan, that emerged as a war state by stepping up the moves for turning itself into a military giant, has been hell-bent on securing an allied army for war.

Japan, which has even launched the moves to recover the past war allies by concluding the "agreement on mutual supply of goods and manpower" with Germany and Italy, is now conducting joint drills with the past war criminal states in the sea and air of Japan, as part of its preparations for reinvading other countries any moment

Clear is the true intention of the descendants of samurais to secure an "allied army" for war.

It is aimed at holding a dominant position in strength in the Asian region even with the help of foreign forces and thus realizing the old dream of "dominating the East " at any cost.

Japan, which is rejected and hated by the international community owing to the denial of its past and moves for reviving militarism, is putting spurs to tightening the war alliance to realize its ambition for reinvasion. Such dangerous military move will inevitably invite due vigilance and strong retaliatory will of the Asian countries.

What is clear is that the second defeat to be suffered by Japan again as a tragic result of the reckless reinvasion will not be confined to signing a surrender document.

Today's Asia is not the arena at a time when the "Imperial Japanese Army" ran amuck in invading the continent, staining the flag of the rising sun with blood. The regional countries will never tolerate any behavior of the descendants of samurais dreaming of "dominating the East" in collusion with outside forces. -0-
