Japan's imprudent intervention rebuffed
Pyongyang, January 27 (KCNA) -- The nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula is one which should be settled between the DPRK and the United States in view of its origin and circumstances of its outbreak and its nature and the present situation. There is no reason and justification for a third party to meddle in it. Rodong Sinmun today says this, accusing the Japanese authorities of pulling up the DPRK over its just self-defensive measure.The news analyst goes on:
Japan is not the party to the settlement of the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula and adopted it as a state policy to become a nuclear power. It has neither face nor right to talk about someone's "nuclear issue."
Though Japan signed the DPRK-Japan Pyongyang Declaration, it is delaying the liquidation of its past under this or that pretext and excuse and deliberately neglecting any effort to normalize bilateral relations. It is not the DPRK but Japan which is snubbing the declaration.
However, Japan is putting its nose into other's affair instead of minding its own business. This will get Japan nowhere. Japan is well advised to fulfil its commitments, well aware of the nature of the issue and its position.
