Japan's Reckless Anti-DPRK Action Compels It to Take Strong Counter-measure
Korean Central News Agency of DPRK
Pyongyang, April 10 (KCNA) -- The Japanese Liberal Democratic Party at the recent meeting of its General Affairs Committee approved the "bill banning the entry of specified foreign ships into Japan" assuming "Mangyongbong 92" and other ships of the DPRK to be its targets and together with the Komeito Party submitted it to the Diet.
Rodong Sinmun today says in a signed commentary in this regard: The DPRK can not but take a serious note of this. The move to adopt the bill is part of Japan's vicious campaign to stifle the DPRK in wanton breach of the DPRK-Japan Pyongyang Declaration.
Noting that it is the invariable ambition of the Japanese reactionaries to isolate and strangle the DPRK, the commentary goes on:
They pursue a sinister aim through their desperate moves to adopt this bill. They seek to pressurize the DPRK in a bid to wrest a sort of "concession" from it as regards the nuclear issue between the DPRK and the U.S. and "issue of abduction." Another aim sought by Japan is to apply a total economic blockade against the DPRK.
Their moves to apply undisguised economic sanctions against the DPRK are deliberate and premeditated provocations intended to escalate the confrontation between the DPRK and Japan and ignite a new war on the Korean peninsula. This is little short of proclaiming by law an economic war and politico-military showdown with the DPRK and officially announcing its intention to legally pursue the policy to isolate and stifle the DPRK.
The hostile relations between the DPRK and Japan are inching close to the brink of war between the two countries due to the reckless moves of the Japanese reactionaries to stifle the former.
This dangerous development compels the DPRK to take a strong counter-measure.
