 The British Group for the Study of the Juche Idea and  the  Korean Friendship Association of the UK  KFA  UK )  , issued a joint statement in support of the press statement of policy section chief of the Institute for Japan Studies under the Foreign Ministry of the DPRK which was titled " Japan's scheme to retrogressively revise its constitution is a grave international issue as it is designed to destroy the basis of the postwar international order";

The far right government of Japan under Takaichi is planning to revise the Japanese constitution in such a way as to legalise aggressive actions of the Japanese Self-Defence Force (SDF) in a crafty way.

During the past few years Japan has worked quietly to move towards a position in which its armed forces could intervene in any part of the world . 

It should never ever be forgotten that Japan is a war criminal state . It was an axis power allied to Hitlerite Germany and fascist Italy . Japan not only had a huge empire straddling Asia but was one of the main initiators of  the Second World War.

The policy section chief of the Institute For Japan Studies  of the DPRK Foreign Ministry observes that

" Eventually, the existing constitution of Japan still has the provision advocating the "pacifist state" but has been reduced to a dead document as it has no longer legal regulation effectiveness due to its long malfunction

The real purpose of Japan's successive rulers in their desperate efforts to amend the constitution is to remove the cumbersome legal obstacles and attain the ambition for overseas expansion without fail"

The current far right regime of Japan has even described the past aggressive war as a "liberation war " and praised the old Japanese empire.

Peace-loving forces should be on their guard against the crafty moves of Japan and should deeply study the statement of the section policy chief of the Institute for Japan Studies of the DPRK Foreign Ministry.

 10th of November 2026

 The British Group for the Study of the Juche Idea and  the  Korean Friendship Association of the UK  KFA  UK )  , issued a joint statement in support of the press statement of  comrade Kim Yo Jong, department director of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea(WPK) that was issued on the 10th of November ;

In her 10th of November press statement comrade Kim Yo Jong expresses regret over the fact that the UN Secretary General had repeatedly called for 'dialogue' on the Korean peninsula . The UN secretary general's remarks show a great deal of ignorance as well as betraying his partial attitude towards the ROK and US. The DPRK's representative to the UN had already sent a letter fully clarifying the DPRK's position on the so-called "landmine incident ".

Comrade Kim Yo Jong states that "The UN secretary-general, whose main mission is to mediate disputes, expressed "concern" and called for "dialogue resumption" as if to fulfill his duty. But in fact, he merely represented the shameless attitude of the ROK seeking to shift the blame for the incident onto the DPRK.

I express my regret over the fact that the top official of the UN, which regards impartiality and objectivity as its lifeline, took such prejudiced and irresponsible attitude as echoing the ROK's unilateral and provocative sophism, contrary to the principle of strictly maintaining neutrality stipulated in the UN Charter."

Indeed the UN Secretary General has acted contrary to the principles of the UN Charter !

It is the DPRK's sovereign right to take measures to secure its southern border by fortifying . However the ROK puppets have persistently tried to interfere in this right and committed provocations against the DPRK. Yet the UN is not censuring them for their behaviour.

The double standards and partiality of the UN Secretary General is clearly pushing the UN into "a state of its malfunction."

The UN Secretary General needs to have a proper understanding of the situation on the Korean peninsula and take a responsible and impartial attitude.

We  agree with the comments of comrade Kim Yo Jong and urge progressive people to denounce the one-sided and unfair attitude of the UN.

Press Statement of Policy Section Chief of Institute for Japan Studies under DPRK Foreign Ministry

 

Pyongyang, November 10 (KCNA) -- The policy section chief of the Institute for Japan Studies under the Foreign Ministry of the DPRK on Tuesday issued the following press statement "Japan's scheme to retrogressively revise its constitution is a grave international issue as it is designed to destroy the basis of the postwar international order":

With the lapse of 80 years since the enactment of its constitution, Japan is getting ever more pronounced in its moves to retrogressively revise the constitution in a bid to legally uphold the neo-militarist policy and get rid of the political and military fetters of the war criminal state.

The right-wing Takaichi Cabinet took office after the formation of coalition between the Liberal Democratic Party, which puts forward the "independent revision of the constitution" as its main policy, and the Japan Restoration Party, which advocates the "establishment of national defense army", last October. Since then Japan's moves for retrogressive revision of its constitution have entered a radical phase of implementation.

As soon as she assumed office as prime minister, the present chief executive openly revealed her intention to launch the revision of the constitution during her tenure. And she announced that she would greet the LDP Congress in February next year after mapping out at the LDP Congress in April this year the prospective plan to submit the revision of the constitution to the Diet. |Such assertion sparked off strong concern at home and abroad.

Japan intensified parliamentary debate about the issues of specifying the existence of the "Self-Defense Forces" in the constitution and newly stipulating the "emergency clause" and, as a result, the draft "emergency clause" was knocked out in May and the "national referendum act" was revised in July.

Against this backdrop, the LDP and the JRP recently proposed again to hold intensive discussions on the revision of Article 9 of the constitution, which bans Japan's possession of war potential, right to take part in any war and right to belligerence, asserting that "to revise the constitution is a requirement of the times".

Japan, which has persistently stressed the necessity of enacting the "emergency clause" at home with the global pandemic and the worsening geopolitical crises as an occasion, is framing a sinister plot to make a breakthrough in the revision of the constitution at any cost and, furthermore, to retrogressively revise Article 9, the core of the constitution.

It is a cunning intention of the Japanese reactionaries to specify the existence of the SDF in the constitution without revising Article 9 at present in order to avoid criticism and backlash at home and abroad, and thus create an antinomy with the existing provisions, and then reject the essence of the "Pacifist Constitution" under the pretext of addressing it in the long run.

As is known, Japan is branded as an "enemy state" in the UN Charter and its current constitution is a legal cornerstone that bars it from re-launching aggression and war and, at the same time, a legal commitment to take the road of peace it affirmed before the international community.

But since the outset of the enactment of the constitution, the successive ruling quarters of Japan have systematically made its laws dead ones with a view to shrugging off Japan's image as a fascist war criminal state and making it a war state, out of the sense of humiliation at the present "constitution enacted under the pressure of outsiders" and the revenge ambition.

By absurdly interpreting the constitution in such a way that "observing the will of war renouncement never means the renouncement of the right to self-defence," Japan crossed the red line of the constitution. In this way it openly created the land, sea and air forces in 1954 and gave the armed forces the deceptive name "Self-Defense Forces".

Afterward, Japan has sought to turn the SDF into the West's most offensive forces while construing the constitution only for its own interests with the aim of enacting such laws as the law on special measures against terrorism and the emergency legislation. By doing so, it steadily laid a legal foundation for dispatching SDF troops to other countries.

By adopting in 2015 the "security legislation", which allows the exercise of the "right to collective self-defense", Japan made it possible for SDF to use its troops in every part of the world under the pretext of military assistance to other countries. In this way it regained the right to take part in any war and the right to belligerence, which are banned by the constitution.

In particular, Japan worked out a new "national security strategy" in 2022 so as to officially set it as a national policy to possess the preemptive attack capability. By doing so, it threw off even its clothes of "exclusive defense" and turned the SDF into aggression forces. And Japan is now busy preparing for war.

Eventually, the existing constitution of Japan still has the provision advocating the "pacifist state" but has been reduced to a dead document as it has no longer legal regulation effectiveness due to its long malfunction.

The real purpose of Japan's successive rulers in their desperate efforts to amend the constitution is to remove the cumbersome legal obstacles and attain the ambition for overseas expansion without fail.

The neo-militarist forces of Japan now describe the past bloody war of aggression as "liberation war" and the barbarous colonial rule as "contribution to the modernization", while praising the war criminals as "heroes" and "patriots". If such forces enact even a war constitution, the results will be as clear as noonday.

The retrogressive amendment of the constitution by Japan is not a matter confined to its internal affair for amending and supplementing some provisions. But it is a grave international issue as it is aimed to stop fulfilling its obligations as a defeated nation and destroy the basis of the postwar international order. So, it constitutes an unpardonable challenge with adverse effect on the regional security and the global peace.

The international community should never overlook the extremely dangerous moves of Japan, a war criminal state which is seeking to legally launch reinvasion by recklessly building up the military strength and successfully getting through the final barrier to the revision of the constitution. -0-

Department Director of C.C., WPK Expresses Regret at UN Secretary-General's Irresponsible Attitude

Pyongyang, November 10 (KCNA) -- Kim Yo Jong, department director of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, on Tuesday made public the following press statement as regards the fact that the UN secretary-general recently called for the resumption of dialogue, expressing concern over the tensions in the Korean peninsula:

We already sent to the UNSC president a letter of the DPRK representative to the UN, which clarified the DPRK's principled stand on the present military tensions in the Korean peninsula caused by the suspicious " mine explosion incident" near the border with the ROK, and the letter was distributed as an official document of the UNSC.

The UN secretary-general, whose main mission is to mediate disputes, expressed "concern" and called for "dialogue resumption" as if to fulfill his duty. But in fact, he merely represented the shameless attitude of the ROK seeking to shift the blame for the incident onto the DPRK.

I express my regret over the fact that the top official of the UN, which regards impartiality and objectivity as its lifeline, took such prejudiced and irresponsible attitude as echoing the ROK's unilateral and provocative sophism, contrary to the principle of strictly maintaining neutrality stipulated in the UN Charter.

As was repeatedly clarified, the DPRK's fortification of its southern border never violates the UN Charter and the international laws as it is the most righteous, reasonable and regular exercise of its right to self-defence aimed at defending its territorial security from threats of the outside forces for aggression.

However the ROK is interfering in and hindering the DPRK's project to build defensive military structures within its territory and worse still, it is continuously perpetrating the habitual provocation to lay the blame for escalated tensions on the DPRK.

The UN secretary-general's behavior of echoing words of the provokers and patronizing them without having proper understanding of the fact is not helpful to the détente, but it may only give them more reckless courage and encourage their bad habit.

We used to clearly see to what extent he read the face of the U.S. and sensed its feelings in the past. And we vividly remember his doubling-dealing behavior of having decried every exercise of our sovereign rights as "provocation" and "threat" while persistently keeping mum about the heinous military hysteria of the U.S. and its allies.

Such ignorant and irresolute attitude of the UN secretary-general serves as a main factor of gradually pushing the UN into a state of its malfunction.

It is regretful that he is still resorting to the prejudiced and double-dealing behavior without any clear understanding of the issue of the Korean peninsula even now when his ten-year term is expiring.

If he is sincerely interested in the detente on the Korean peninsula, he should refrain from chiming in with the hypocritical attitude of Seoul to conceal its provocative nature, talking about the "resumption of dialogue", but have a clear understanding of the incident and blame the ROK for its military provocations of seriously threatening the territorial sovereignty of the DPRK.

We make it clear once again on this occasion that if the reckless military provocations of the ROK gangsters lead to an undesirable incident in the southern border area, UN Secretary-General Guterres will never be free from the blame for it. -0-

Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un Has Photo Session with Participants in Tenth Congress of UAWK

Pyongyang, November 10 (KCNA) -- Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and President of the State Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, had a photo session with the participants in the Tenth Congress of the Union of Agricultural Workers of Korea on November 9.

All the participants paid high tribute to Comrade Kim Jong Un as a token of their deep thanks to him who ushered in a great new era of socialist rural development and has bestowed profound trust and honour upon the agricultural workers' union so that it can play the role of an advance unit, the vanguard in it.

Comrade Kim Jong Un congratulated the chairman and the vice-chairmen of the Tenth Central Committee of the UAWK elected at the congress.

He extended warm encouragement to the participants who fully demonstrated the firm faith of the agricultural workers, determined to always remain loyal to the ideology and leadership of the Party, through the congress, which was held in the first year for implementing the decisions of the Ninth Congress of the Party, the significant year marking the 80th founding anniversary of the UAWK, and glorified the congress as an occasion for making new leaps forward in the gigantic transformation of all rural villages across the country.

Saying that the patriotic farm workers of the country, who single-mindedly upheld the intention of the Party and shared their destiny with the country, have firmly propelled the advance of the socialist cause with increased grain production for the past five years, too, he highly appreciated the great efforts and exploits of the agricultural workers and UAWK members who dedicate their pure civic conscience and sweat to every field of socialist farms.

Stressing that the Party Central Committee remains unshakable in its plan and decision to make the faithful agricultural workers enjoy the benefits of ideal society, highly civilized and prosperous, earlier than anyone else as they are the direct embodiments and implementers of the immutable revolutionary principle that rice just means socialism and communism, he underlined the need for the UAWK to play the role of the ideological agitator and vanguard that accelerates the rural development, mindful of the original heavy duty it has assumed in the historic course of opening up a new stage in the state development.

Noting that it is the primary duty of the UAWK in the period of the new long-term plan to further accelerate the drive for revolutionizing the rural areas in terms of ideology, technology and culture, he urged the UAWK to thoroughly ensure the implementation of the Party policy by promoting its qualitative development and constantly enhancing its activity and working efficiency, as required by the current reality witnessing unprecedented changes in socialist rural construction.

He had a photo taken with the participants, expressing expectation and belief that they would successfully carry out their honourable mission and duty for the times and the revolution by regarding the programme for rural revolution in the new era as signpost for innovation and progress and turning all the organizations of the union into strong ones for implementing the Party's plan.

The participants in the congress made a firm pledge to tangibly contribute to the comprehensive development of Korean-style socialism by dedicating their redoubled effort and great executive faculty to bringing about a drastic turn in the union's work. -0-
