KCNA Commentary on Japan's Territorial Claim over Tok Island

Pyongyang, September 28 (KCNA) -- Japan's ambition for other's territory continues, going against the trend of the new era.

Shortly ago, the Japanese government again committed the shameless act of posting on the internet website, run by the planning office on measures for territorial sovereignty under the Cabinet Secretariat, the data asserting the "territorial dominium" over Tok Island.

Such gangster-like assertion that other nation's inviolable territory belongs to Japan is a clear revelation of the unchangeable sinister aim of the descendants of Samurais seeking to destroy the regional peace and security and subsist on aggression and war.

The international community is seriously worried over the territorial ambition of Japan going against the trend of stable and peaceful situation created in the Korean peninsula and the region.

Clear is the intention of Japan keen on claiming the dominium over Tok Island while running counter to the trend of the era.

Its aim is to internationalize the issue of Tok Island, spark off the territorial dispute and invade Korea just like in the last century.

As is known, aggression, plunder and war have been Japan's way of living throughout history.

It has never changed the burglar-like logic by which it insisted that other's territory is part of its own country, a clear reminder of the method for aggression used by its ancestors who had justified the aggression of Korea, crying for "one and the same ancestry and roots" and "oneness of Japan and Korea".

Today, the ruling forces of Japan are working hard to take up the appearance as a war state and ignite a war for reinvasion of Korea while getting zealous in its moves to carry out the political tactics including the arms buildup, overseas expansion and the revision of constitution.

They finalized the study guidelines for high schools in which they made it compulsory to educate in "dominium over Tok Island" in March last and described Tok Island as "part of the inviolable territory of Japan" in the defence white paper for 2018.

After all, Japan's talk about "territory of its country", a prelude to destroying peace, is aimed to openly secure the territorial sovereignty in the region by justifying different problems of territorial conflicts which it is involved in including the Tok Island issue.

Territory is a symbol of sovereignty of each nation and it constitutes the valuable wealth to be handed down to the coming generations.

As proven by history and recognized by the world, Tok Island is part of the Korean nation's inviolable territory that no one can encroach upon.

No matter how desperately Japan, obsessed with the ambition for territory, may try to invade other's territory, it can never encroach upon even an inch of the territory and this will only redouble the will of the Korean nation determined to settle accounts with Japan.

Japan's territorial claim can never be accomplished.

Tok Island will remain part of the inalienable territory of the Korean nation. -0-
