Japan's Clumsy Farce under Fire

KCNA

    Pyongyang, October 7 (KCNA) -- The Japanese diplomatic boss at the 58th UN General Assembly on September 24 solicited for the cooperation of the international community for an earlier solution to the abduction issue and talked nonsense that Japan would set the normalization of diplomatic relations with the DPRK as its goal after such pending problems as nuclear, missile and abduction issues are settled on the basis of the Japan-DPRK Pyongyang Declaration. Commenting on this Minju Joson today says:
    While making a splash about the implementation of the DPRK-Japan Pyongyang Declaration and the normalization of the diplomatic relations between the two countries, Japan shelved the redemption of its past wrongs, the hardcore of their materialization. Had the Japanese diplomatic boss been interested in their implementation, he should have mentioned Japan's obligation to redeem her past wrongs before anything else.
    The relations between the DPRK and Japan worsened because of Japan's aggression and brutal crimes against the former over a long period and they have not yet been settled because Japan has evaded covertly and overtly its responsibility for the redemption of its past wrongs after the war, the author of the commentary says, and continues:
    Such being the fact, it is unbecoming and disgusting for Japan to play a clumsy farce to create the impression that it is interested in the improvement of the relations with the DPRK, letting out a stream of words even at the international arena about the solution of "the abduction issue", "implementation of the Japan-DPRK Pyongyang Declaration" and "desire for the normalization of the diplomatic relations between the DPRK and Japan," while neglecting what it should do.
    Japan is requesting the international community to help it, branding the DPRK, the victim, as the assailant. This only reminds one of a thief crying stop thief. This is aimed to evade its responsibility for the redemption of its past crimes at any cost.
    Japan has committed too many crimes to evade its responsibility for redeeming its past crimes under the pretext of the "abduction issue."
    Japan would be well advised to make a bold decision at an early date to redeem its past wrongs, not playing a trick to fool the international community.
