KCNA Urges Japan to Act with Discretion

KCNA

    Pyongyang, August 9 (KCNA) -- Japan's anti-DPRK hysteria has gone beyond the tolerance limit. In the run-up to the six-party talks for the settlement of the nuclear issue between the DPRK and the united states, the Japanese government through a diplomatic channel reportedly urged the U.S. government to maintain an option for military actions against the DPRK even if the U.S. assures the DPRK of non-aggression.
    Before commenting on the impertinent diplomatic solicitation of Japan, we should warn that the peaceful settlement and military action, dialogue and pressure can never go together and if the U.S. lends an ear to the demand of Japan, the nuclear stand-off between the DPRK and the U.S. will be escalated.
    Japan should refrain from such acts as adding fuel to flames.
    The key to the settlement of the nuclear issue between the DPRK and the U.S. is for the U.S. to make a switchover in its hostile policy toward the DPRK. So, if the countries concerned truly want the successful talks, they should create a favorable atmosphere for them and pay attention to helping the U.S. make a switchover in its policy toward the DPRK.
    Japan is used to fawn on the U.S. now Japan is seeking a sinister aim in chilling the atmosphere of the talks before their start. In a nutshell, Japan seeks to incite the atmosphere of confrontation and war on the Korean peninsula and realize at any cost its ambition for invasion of Korea with the backing of the U.S.
    Such black-hearted intention of Japan was disclosed on other occasions.
    When Fukuda, chief cabinet secretary of Japan, and others met Bolton, U.S. undersecretary of state, on a visit to Japan, on August 1, they discussed at length the way of inspecting nuclear facilities in the DPRK. Vice-minister of foreign affairs of Japan Takeuchi in a press conference on august 4 was so impudent as to say that at the talks Japan would demand the DPRK scrap its nuclear development program in a verifiable way.
    What should not be overlooked is that Japan is revealing its intention to raise at the six-party talks the "issue of those kidnapped," the matter already settled between the DPRK and Japan, in a bid to lay an artificial obstacle at the talks.
    On August 4 Fukuda, referring to the six-party talks, said that as the issue of abduction remains pending between Japan and north Korea, he hoped that the talks would mark an occasion of discussing the issue. Prime minister of Japan Koizumi, too, said that there is a need to appeal to the countries concerned to make all the countries understand the assertion of Japan.
    All facts prove that Japan, seized with anti-DPRK fever, bereft of reason, is casting a dark shadow on the prospect of the talks.
    One's evil doing will rebound on oneself and water is bound to flow its way.
    Japan is well advised to act with discretion, pondering over the catastrophic consequences to be entailed by its reckless acts.
