Abe Group's Moves to Disturb Six-Party Talks under Fire

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

   Pyongyang, August 1 (KCNA) -- Japan is keen to bar the improvement of its relations with the DPRK and derail the six-party talks aimed at settling the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula under the pretext of the "abduction issue." This is based on the calculation of the ultra-nationalist forces of Japan represented by Abe that the issue of access to nukes by the DPRK now in the hostile relationship with Japan can be used as a good pretext for turning it into a military power and its nuclear weaponization.
    Rodong Sinmun today observes this in its signed commentary.
    It goes on:
    The Abe group is busy with its mendicant diplomacy aimed at internationalizing the issue of abduction and putting international pressure upon the DPRK, insisting that it has not yet been solved.
    Abe is known to have regarded the "abduction issue" as a bargaining chip for the maintenance of his power and the realization of his political ambition. Some days ago, he let loose the jargon that he would buckle down to the settlement of the "abduction issue" with an "iron will."
    The Japanese reactionaries are making much ado about the issue, but it had already found a solution thanks to the sincere efforts of the DPRK.
    When the investigation into the issue and its handling came to an end thanks to the sincere efforts of the DPRK, the Japanese reactionaries invented new "victims of abduction" by putting in motion the "society for the investigation into the issues of specified persons reported missing."
    Hundreds of people are reported missing in Japan every year and, therefore, the above-said forces may keep concocting new information about "abduction" as long as they are making much fuss about the "abduction issue" while staying in power.
    Lurking behind the Abe regime's escalated provocations to the DPRK over the "abduction issue" are a sinister and wicked calculation and purpose.
    Japan's "departure from the postwar regime" touted by Abe upon assuming premiership is intended to help Japan get rid of the status of a defeated country subject to military restrictions and establish a war system.
    It is Abe's calculation that Japan must avail itself of the "wind caused by the DPRK's access to nukes" in order to lay a military foundation for the "assertive diplomacy" oft-repeated by him and to this end it is necessary to deter the six-party talks from making any progress and buy time.
    There will be only complications and difficulties in the way of the talks if Japan continues disturbing the talks, persistently insisting on the already-settled "abduction issue" irrelevant to the mission and purport of the talks.
    Japan would be left all alone and meet only frustration if it keeps standing in the way of the talks, making much ado about the "abduction issue."
