Japan's Perfidious Act Assailed

KCNA

    Pyongyang, February 20 (KCNA) -- Japan bears shame to commit perfidy, recoiling from the commitments it made with other countries, says Rodong Sinmun Friday in a signed commentary. Japan's perfidious act of insincerely approaching the commitments it made with other countries is proved by its improper attitude toward the DPRK-Japan Pyongyang Declaration, it says, and goes on:
    As for the declaration it is a document of international value as it was signed by the heads of the two countries representing their states. However, Japan has not yet shown any intention to fulfil its commitment to redeem its past although two years have passed since its publication.
    Japan's recent adoption of the law on applying economic sanctions against the DPRK is an anti-DPRK hostile act of gravely threatening the right to existence and security of the DPRK and one intended to invade it in violation of the commitments to observe international law and refrain from threatening the security of the other side.
    Japan's perfidious act is also evidenced by its breach of the agreement reached between the governments of the DPRK and Japan.
    What Japan seeks is to keep its historical, moral and legal responsibility and duty as regards its relations with the DPRK buried in oblivion with the passage of the time and history and create conditions favorable for realizing its ambition to reinvade Korea by steadily aggravating the relations of hostility and confrontation with the DPRK.
    Intolerable is Japan's perfidious act of reneging on its commitments with other countries.
    Clear is the stand of the DPRK. It will never make any deal with Japan nor expect any solution so long as it shows no good faith, recoiling from its commitments. Japan should fulfil its commitment and behave in good faith, clearly understanding the principled stand of the DPRK.
