Japan urged to behave with discretion

Pyongyang, May 10 (KCNA) -- Minju Joson today in a signed commentary urges Japan to behave with discretion, accusing it of getting desperate in its efforts to support the U.S. moves to stifle the DPRK over its nuclear issue.
The commentary continues:
The Japanese high-ranking politicians are busy with shuttle diplomacy, peddling the DPRK's "nuclear issue" and "the issue of abduction" overseas in a bid to internationalize them.
Japan let loose sophism that the Japan-DPRK relations would be normalized only after these issues are settled. This is nothing but a foolish attempt to improve the unfavorable position in which it finds itself as regards the issue of the bilateral relations.
The core issue in improving the relations between the DPRK and Japan is for Japan to sincerely repent of tremendous misfortune, pain and sufferings it brought to the Korean people in the past and make a full compensation for them. The bilateral relations still remain unsettled because this issue has not yet been settled due to Japan's insincere attitude.
Japan's misbehavior of turning aside from the issue of settling its past is considered by the international community as a serious matter. Much upset by this, Japan is resorting to such a mean method.
Japan likes faulting others for its own interests while adamantly refusing to correct its own mistakes. Japan is still in the grip of this bad habit.
Japan will have to pay a very high price if it does not come to its senses but continues going reckless, toeing the U.S. line.
