KCNA Blasts Japan's Nasty Behavior to Derail Six-party Talks

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

   Pyongyang, March 30 (KCNA) -- The chief executive and other politicians of Japan let loose a spate of balderdash over the action taken to defreeze the DPRK's funds at Banco Delta Asia in a bid to throw a hurdle in the way of the six-party talks.
    Taking issue with the DPRK over its principled stand on the above-said measure, Abe impertinently blustered that "such attitude would get north Korea nowhere".
    He, insisting on the "abduction issue" which has nothing to do with the agenda of the talks, threatened that Japan would not participate in "energy aid" to the DPRK.
    The DPRK dismisses this as nothing but a nasty attempt of the Japanese politicians to derail the talks come what may, displeased with the progress made there.
    Its participation in the talks or wish to see a satisfactory solution to the issue of defreezing its funds at the bank are not intended to get something from someone or to receive any aid.
    As clarified by the DPRK more than once, its purpose is to realize the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and have its right to the legal funds regained.
    Japan is behaving so at a time when the world public and the countries concerned are becoming more vocal in calling for creating an environment for the resumption of the talks. Its behavior cannot be construed otherwise than a wrong deed of a political dwarf.
    No wonder, AFP, quoting an official of the U.S. State Department, said that at the department there is an atmosphere of commenting that Japan has gone too far.
    It is the purpose of the six-party talks to denuclearize the peninsula and the economic and energy assistance to the DPRK promised by the participating countries in the Feb. 13 agreement is part of the projects to achieve the above-mentioned purpose.
    As a matter of fact, Japan has neither qualification nor justification to participate in the talks. It cannot but be a big trouble-maker as it is behaving so badly after poking its nose into them.
    Japan should be mindful that it will suffer bitterer disgrace and stand sidelined in the international community should it continue working mischievously instead of striving for the success of the talks and implementing the agreed points.
