Abe's Clumsy Outburst on Resumption of Six-party Talks Flailed

    Pyongyang, June 28 (KCNA) -- Abe, acting secretary general of the Japan Liberal Democratic Party, recently blabbed that if the six-way talks are resumed, Japan "should wrest a sincere reply on the abduction issue from north Korea," while pretending to welcome the latter's stand toward the resumption of the talks. Commenting on this, Rodong Sinmun on June 28 says Abe's remarks clearly revealed once again that Japan is not interested at all in a solution to the nuclear issue and the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, wedded body and soul to the "abduction issue" which has nothing to do with the purport and purpose of the six-party talks.
    In persistently bringing forward the "abduction issue" that was already settled through the Pyongyang visit of the Japanese prime minister, the conservative politician of Japan seeks to whip up the sentiments of national confrontation and anti-DPRK hostile feelings among the Japanese over the issue and win popularity and thus consolidate the political foothold for holding monopoly over power, the analyst notes, and goes on:
    It is the crudest sort of calculation and disgusting behavior of political dwarfs for the right-wing conservative politicians of Japan to intend to take the ware of "abduction issue" to the six-party talks in an effort to improve their image and realize their political ambition.
    Japan should approach the talks with correct understanding and posture. If it attempts to use the talks as leverage for its sinister political purpose, the matter will get more complicated and, accordingly, the prospect of the settlement of the nuclear issue cannot but become gloomier. Japan will be held entirely answerable for this.
    If Japan honestly wants the settlement of the nuclear issue and denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, it should not peddle such irrelevant ware as the "abduction issue" at the six-party talks.
