Japan's Intention to Stifle DPRK Assailed

KCNA

    Pyongyang, December 23 (KCNA) -- The Japanese reactionaries invited delegates of 14 countries including the United States and Australia to Tokyo recently and held the so-called "Asian Conference on Non-proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction" in a bid to lay an international siege to the DPRK. This comes under fire by papers today.
    Rodong Sinmun in a signed commentary observes: This move of Japan is a wanton violation of the U.N. Charter and international law and a serious infringement upon the DPRK's sovereignty as it was aimed to suffocate the DPRK through an "international siege" and economic sanctions.
    The Japanese reactionaries' moves for an international siege and blockade against the DPRK are deliberate and premeditated provocative ones to aggravate the DPRK-Japan confrontation and ignite a new war on the Korean peninsula. Ever since the outbreak of the second nuclear crisis they have never missed the chance to bluster that Japan would never allow the DPRK's nuclear program and if it does not yield to their demand, they would take additional "hard line measures." They are now being put into practice.
    The people and army of the DPRK will take toughest retaliatory measures the moment it judges its sovereignty has been infringed upon by Japan's blockade operation.
    There is no guarantee that Japan's blockade will not lead to such a serious situation as a war. In case a war breaks out, it will bring unpredictably disastrous consequences.
    Japan should stop at once such foolish moves to suffocate the DPRK through an "international siege" and economic sanctions.
    Minju Joson in a signed commentary warns the DPRK will never overlook Japan's reckless attempt.
