KCNA Commentary on Japanese FM's Nonsense

Pyongyang, September 15 (KCNA) -- Commenting on the north-south summit due in September, Japanese Foreign Minister Kono said on Sept. 14 that the time is not quite ripe for the declaration of the war end requested by north Korea, and that it is desirable that the end of the war is declared after a concrete action is taken.

In conclusion, the nonsense of Kono clearly shows Japan's wicked intention to hide the wretched situation that it has been completely marginalized from the surrounding structure and to poke its nose into the regional issue by inciting the atmosphere of confrontation.

The trend of the times is going toward dialogue and peace, and no one can deny and go against it.

It is the firm stand and will of the DPRK to completely remove the danger of an armed conflict and the fear of war on the Korean peninsula and turn it into the place of peace and this is commanding positive supports and deep sympathy of the world people.

Durable peace can be achieved on the Korean peninsula when the physical war state is ended. And this is a prerequisite for peace.

The north and the south are leveling gun at each other in the lingering quagmire of mistrust and hostility even after they promised to make peace settle on the Korean peninsula. This is just an extremely abnormal situation, which has a great impact on the world peace and stability.

65 years have elapsed since the Korean War ended in a truce, so the declaration of the termination of the state of war has become a urgent task of the time.

That is why the world people as well as the Korean people earnestly want the earlier publication of the declaration of the end of war state on the Korean peninsula.

Such a hope grows more ardent with the approach of the inter-Korean summit.

The nonsense made by Japanese foreign minister at this time is nothing but a cry of distress of those being isolated from the neighboring countries.

The nonsense by him, failing to properly understand the reality and the trend of the times, at a time when the world more ardently calls for the conclusion of a declaration of the end of the war state, clearly proves that Japan is just a country of political pigmies.

Japan had better remember its proverb "If you want to say something, say it tomorrow".

Japan should know that its narrow view of things and nonsense will make it poorer.

Such talkativeness can never check the trend of the dialogue.

Japan would be well advised to understand that if it misbehaves itself, talking nonsense, it is bound to meet disgrace worldwide and be completely marginalized from the structure of the relations among the neighboring countries and the international relations.

The DPRK is keenly watching Japan adding to its past crimes and will make it pay dearly for them. -0-
