By Xinhua,
[RxPG] Pyongyang, May 15 - North Korea Tuesday lashed out at Japan's intention to boost its cooperation with the US on deploying the missile defence system.
'Such dangerous developments is suggesting that Japan is now only watching for a chance to pre-empt attacks on North Korea...with the US,' said the official Korean Central News Agency -.
North Korea's remarks came after Japanese defence minister Fumio Kyuma and former Director General of the Japan defence agency Fukushiro Nukaga recently called for Japan's need to boost its cooperation with the US on the missile defence system.
'Japan is escalating its military threat to North Korea and other countries of the region,' said the KCNA, noting the nature of the system is 'offensive and aggressive' which sparks off deep concern among many countries in Asia and other parts of the world.
'The war history in the 20th century clearly showed what a miserable end Japan's rash act had brought to the militarists who went arrogant, seized by hysteria of overseas expansion,' the KCNA said.
