Malicious Smear Campaign against DPRK Flailed
Korean Central News Agency of DPRK
Pyongyang, January 18 (KCNA) -- Kanzaki, representative of the Komeito Party, a party of the ruling coalition of Japan, in a recent NHK program palavered about the "abduction issue", throwing together the balderdash that "pressure should be put on north Korea" and "stage-by-stage reaction is necessary."
Timed to coincide with this, it has recently been revealed by media reports that an amendment to the "harbor management act" is being examined to empower Niigata Prefecture to refuse the portcall of specified ships by the authority of the Prefectural governor.
Commenting on this, a Rodong Sinmun analyst Tuesday says:
This anti-DPRK campaign of the Japanese reactionaries is a dastardly act to wreck the DPRK-Japan Pyongyang Declaration. It must never be overlooked.
In the Pyongyang declaration published in Sept. 2002 the two sides promised to observe the international law and not to threaten each other's security.
But the Japanese reactionaries, quite contrary to the spirit of the declaration, have engaged themselves in anti-DPRK moves, zealously banking on the U.S. hostile policy toward the DPRK, thereby driving the DPRK-Japan relations to the worst phase.
What must not go unnoticed is that the ultra-right forces of Japan are screwing up to the highest pitch their moves to invoke sanctions against the DPRK and their hostile acts against it by inventing even "fiction of false remains", abusing the sincerity and humanitarian efforts of the DPRK.
The Korean people are not afraid of sanctions by Japan and will not be frightened or alarmed even if it scuttles the DPRK-Japan Pyongyang Declaration. Needless to say, the DPRK would immediately take a proper and tough countermeasure, if the Japanese authorities dared apply sanctions.
The Japanese reactionaries would be well advised to keep this in mind and refrain from impudent acts.
