KCNA Commentary Derides Japan for Inviting Isolation

Pyongyang, November 28 (KCNA) -- The Abe authorities are suffering from unspeakable stress, being caught in contradiction in the international relations.

Being left out of concern by the U.S. the relations with whom it put great trust in and whom it regarded as the eldest brother, Japan Prime Minister Abe reached the state of asking the U.S. president never to put the clock hand backward in relations between Japan and the U.S. He even tried to flatter the U.S. by taking the lead in building cooperation mechanism for pressurizing the DPRK, hardly catching any interest of its master.

Though engaged in an array of diplomatic steps to access the DPRK with hope pinned on the DPRK-Japan summit in a bid to get rid of ever-worsening political isolation, Japan still raises rhetoric about sanctions and pressure and "abduction issue" in an effort to mislead the public.

At the East-Asia Summit held in Singapore on November 15, Abe cited his intention to independently improve relations with the DPRK and sit knee to knee with the supreme leader of the DPRK for the establishment of diplomatic ties.

Truly funny are the Japanese politicians with foolish intention on their minds as one can not but worry if they can get anything in return for peddling the worn-out rhetoric about sanctions and "abduction issue".

Japan has fully disclosed its being to the international community, and the political caliber of the Japanese politicians has already come to an end.

Japanese politicians should have sized up the change of strategic structure in Northeast Asia and the world and corresponding change of the world trend and have given double-thinking, if they truly wished for the better and prosperous future of the Japanese archipelago.

However, outwardly touting the improvement of relations with the DPRK, a factor of massive influence on the world strategic balance, Japan, being keen on brown-nosing the U.S. and reading its face, has played the role of a robust pace-setter for its master pursuing hard- and soft-strategy with regard to the DPRK issue.

When the U.S. included a DPRK-flagged trading vessel conducting normal trading transactions in a sanctions list of the United Nations in October, Japan, as if it had waited for it to happen, followed Washington's footsteps to include the vessel in its own sanctions list.

As for the "abduction issue" touted by Abe as a precondition for the improvement of the DPRK-Japan relations, it is just a political farce serving the purpose of stirring up the awareness of stand-off with the DPRK timed to coincide with the U.S. massive anti-DPRK "human rights" campaign.

The thoughtless act of Abe and his group against the DPRK, out of their senseless approach toward the ever-changing international political situation, is making Japan stand further isolated in the international community.

An Egyptian newspaper said the abduction issue cited by Japan is an issue ignored by the U.S., further commenting that there are wide-spread diplomatic disputes between Japan and south Korea over the issue of reparation for the victims of forcible drafting and the issue of dominium over Tok Islets, and that today Japan's interests are things out of concern of its allies.

Japan has no other way but to blame itself for the undeniably miserable fate it has been put today. -0-
