Japan's Disgraceful Behavior Assailed

KCNA

    Pyongyang, October 19 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun today in a signed commentary denounces Japan for attempting to use the APEC summit meeting to be held in Thailand as a leverage to pressurize the DPRK. It goes on:
    The United States repeatedly said that it would bring up the "nuclear issue" of north Korea for discussion at the summit meeting and attract support from the international community.
    On top of this, Japan seeks to have a "special statement" related to the DPRK issue adopted there so as to get more trust from the U.S., have a say in dealing with the nuclear issue and further create an atmosphere of international pressure on the DPRK.
    The nuclear issue of the Korean peninsula is a matter to be settled between the DPRK and the U.S. The APEC summit meeting is not a venue of debate on the nuclear issue and, furthermore, Japan is not in a position to poke its nose into the issue.
    Japan is, in fact, directing no attention to the liquidation of the past and the settlement of the nuclear issue between the DPRK and the U.S. Japan's real intention is to politicize and internationalize the "abduction issue", a mere humanitarian issue, in a bid to gloss over the liquidation of the past and, at the same time, make the DPRK-U.S. nuclear issue more complicated.
    The Beijing six-way talks and the moves before the APEC summit meeting indicate that Japan is a wicked disturber of the settlement of the nuclear issue between the DPRK and the U.S. and a political swindler.
    Japan had better stop as foolish an act as tarnishing its image by itself. .
