Japan's Attempt to Scuttle Six-Party Talks Blasted

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)

   Pyongyang, December 11 (KCNA) -- High-ranking officials of Japan including the chief executive vociferated that it "does not recognize north Korea's access to nukes" and "it can never allow north Korea to participate in the six-party talks with the status of a nuclear weapons state." This behavior is, in essence, little short of opposing the DPRK's participation in the above-said talks and nothing but an act of an imbecile unable to understand the trend of times as it lacks any elementary political view and judgment. Rodong Sinmun Monday says this in a signed commentary.
    It goes on:
    The DPRK has neither developed nor possessed nuclear weapons to be recognized by somebody.
    As a matter of fact, Japan has posed a serious threat to the DPRK, protected by the U.S. "nuclear umbrella". It is a real intention of Japan to use the talks not for finding a fair solution to the nuclear issue but for achieving its sinister political aim.
    That is why Japan is busy with shuttle diplomacy to attain its purpose come what may, far-fetchedly insisting that the "abduction issue" should be a main agenda item of the talks.
    The six-party talks are meant to deal with the nuclear issue in name and reality, not for discussing the "abduction issue" which has nothing to do with the former. If Japan is interested in the settlement of the "abduction issue", it should, to begin with, admit the forcible drafting and abduction of more than 8.4 million Koreans committed by the Japanese imperialists in the past and honestly apologize and compensate for them.
    Japan is no more than a swindler, unqualified to participate in the talks.
    A Japanese delegation's appearance in the venue of the talks would be nothing helpful to the talks. It is quite obvious that the delegation will only raise irrelevant issues at the talks to create complexity in the discussion and make them waste time. The non-participation of Japan in the talks would help the talks proceed with less inconvenience.
    Japan's obstruction to the resumption of the talks would only invite international isolation, the commentary concludes.
