North Korea Accuses Japan of "Increasing Regional Military Tensions" in Launch of NATO Independent Delegation

North Korea has recently accused Japan of extremely escalating regional military tensions over the launch of an independent NATO mission.

The Korean Central News Agency reported a statement issued in the name of an international security commentator, raising its voice that Japan's establishment of an independent full-time representative in NATO added a new destabilizing factor to the regional situation.

He argued that Japan is again clearly suggesting that it is an anti-peace force that threatens the world with aggressive military bloc membership, blatant armed escalation, and constant war exercises.

Earlier on the 15th, Japan launched a separate NATO Japanese mission at the Japanese embassy in Belgium to strengthen cooperation with NATO.
