Remarks of Japanese Foreign Minister accused
KCNA
Pyongyang, March 11 (KCNA) -- Japanese Foreign Minister Kawaguchi said at the recent talks that it is the basic policy of the government to settle kidnapping and nuclear issues to aspire after normalization of Japan-DPRK relations.
Her remarks reflect the wrong stand of the Japanese Government which does not want early solution of the DPRK-Japan relations.
Minju Joson today says this in a signed commentary. It goes on:
In order to improve the DPRK-Japan relations Japan should redress its past crimes.
But Japan is now raising such subordinate issues as "kidnapping" and "nuclear development" which is not related to it, as if they are the basic issues in improving the DPRK-Japan relations.
This is nothing but a cunning move to cover up its past crimes.
At a time when the U.S. moves to stifle the DPRK are going to extremes, Japan is trying to capitalize on the U.S. policy, obtain "qualifications" to meddle in the issue of the Korean Peninsula and avoid redressing its past, a key for the solution of the DPRK-Japan relations, under the pretext of the "nuclear issue."
If Japan recklessly acts in sympathy with the U.S. moves to stifle the DPRK over the nuclear issue the DPRK-Japan relations will be more complicated.
Japan should do what it should do with discretion.
