Implementation of DPRK-Japan Pyongyang Declaration Called for

KCNA

    Pyongyang, January 7 (KCNA) -- Consistent is the DPRK's political stand towards Japan. The relations between the DPRK and Japan will make substantial progress if they sincerely fulfil their commitments made in the DPRK-Japan Pyongyang Declaration. Minju Joson today says this in a signed commentary. It goes on:
    The DPRK-Japan relations have reached the worst phase and they may sow the seed of conflict that can seriously affect global peace and security.
    This is entirely attributable to the irresponsible attitude of the Japanese government which has pursued a hostile policy toward the DPRK with extreme antipathy towards the latter.
    The Japanese government is working hard to enact an internal law calling for unilateral "economic sanctions against north Korea" in case it is impossible to impose collective economic sanctions and blockade upon it.
    It is clear to everyone that this is, in fact, a flagrant perfidy to the DPRK-Japan Pyongyang Declaration and reckless behavior to push the bilateral relations to an irreversible phase.
    It is a serious mistake for Japan to seek a sinister political aim by taking advantage of the U.S. hostile policy toward the DPRK and its moves to stifle it. Such pro-U.S. one-sided policy of Japan will only render it further isolated in Northeast Asia.
    The DPRK has made every possible patient effort to improve the bilateral relations, prompted by its noble intention to contribute to global peace and stability.
    The Japanese government had better drop its outmoded conception of confrontation and boldly drop its present short-sighted policy towards the DPRK. This would also do Japan good.
