Japan's Reckless Moves against DPRK Condemned
KCNA
Pyongyang, January 9 (KCNA) -- The Japanese right-wing conservative forces have recently kicked up an anti-DPRK racket, blustering that they would draw up an amendment to the "Law on Foreign Exchange and Trade" and a "bill on prohibiting and restricting the entry of specified foreign ships into Japanese ports" and submit them to the Diet session this year.
In this regard, Rodong Sinmun today says in a signed commentary:
This move is a wanton violation of the UN Charter and international law as it is part of the Japanese reactionaries' vicious moves to suffocate the DPRK by laying an "international siege" to the DPRK and applying economic sanctions against it. And this is a deliberate and premeditated provocation intended to escalate the confrontation between the DPRK and Japan and drive the situation on the Korean peninsula to a grave phase.
Lurking behind the Japanese reactionaries' moves to impose sanctions on the DPRK is their black-hearted intention to fish in troubled waters by supporting the U.S. in its hostile policy towards Pyongyang this year, too.
The DPRK has made it clear more than once that it would regard any "sanctions" and "blockade" against it as a declaration of war and take necessary self-defensive measures to cope with them. It is a base act of violating the spirit of the DPRK-Japan Pyongyang Declaration and an anachronistic daydream for the Japanese reactionaries to try to frighten the army and the people of the DPRK and isolate and suffocate it.
The desperate moves on the part of the Japanese reactionaries only harden the determination of the army and the people of the DPRK to settle accounts with Japan, their sworn enemy, without fail.
The Japanese reactionaries' hostile policy towards the DPRK will only precipitate their international isolation and self-destruction.
