Lee Myung Bak's Fraud and Swindle under Fire

   Pyongyang, April 10 (KCNA) -- "To bring per capital income to 3,000 dollars" peddled by Lee Myung Bak is a product of the plot hatched by this crafty profiteer and swindler against the DPRK. Rodong Sinmun today says this in a signed commentary.
    It goes on:
    The above-said ridiculous watchword put up by Lee and his group is nothing but an unpardonable provocation and insult to the DPRK.
    The Lee Myung Bak group pretends to be rich though they have a colonial economy dependent on the U.S. It is no more than a political caricature.
    The DPRK will never allow the group of traitors to hurt its sovereignty and dignity with such clumsy sugar-coated words though they have the dependent economy too weak to save the people from destitution and the jaw of death.
    It is the aim sought by Lee in noisily advertising "to bring per capital income to 3,000 dollars" as part of his "policy toward the north" to block the development of the inter-Korean relations and put a brake on the work of inter-Korean cooperation for peace and prosperity in support of the U.S. moves for confrontation with the DPRK.
    The issue of independent reunification, peace and prosperity can neither be settled according to the will of foreign forces nor become a political bargaining under any circumstances.
    The Lee group had better stop peddling the above-said nonsensical phraseology only to become the laughing stock of the world people but mind its own business. If the Lee group continues mocking at fellow countrymen and fostering confrontation with such treacherous and anti-reunification phraseology at the prodding of outside forces, this will only precipitate its self-destruction.

Japanese Authorities' Anti-DPRK, Anti-Chongryon Campaign Blasted

   Pyongyang, April 10 (KCNA) -- A meeting of Koreans in Japan was held in Tokyo on April 8 to demand an immediate lifting of the unreasonable sanctions of the Japanese authorities against the DPRK and denounce their suppression of the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan and Koreans in Japan.
    Present there were So Man Sul, chairman of the Central Standing Committee of the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan (Chongryon), and other officials and compatriots.
    Nam Sung U, vice-chairman of the Central Standing Committee of Chongryon, in a report accused the Japanese authorities of disclosing their undisguised attempt to extend the sanctions against the DPRK again under the absurd pretext that there is no progress in settling the "abduction issue."
    The Japanese authorities persistently disallow the home-visit and re-entry of deputies to the DPRK Supreme People's Assembly of Chongryon in violation of international law and the Japan Constitution, he said, and went on:
    They also do not permit the bereaved families of those, who lost their lives after being forced to do slave labor by the Japanese imperialists, to visit Japan in order to take over their remains.
    Such behavior of the Japanese authorities is intended to deliberately build up anti-DPRK, anti-Chongryon opinion in a bid to impair the prestige and dignity of the homeland, destroy the Chongryon organization and justify their reactionary moves to render their politics more Rightist and conservative and turn Japan into a military power.
    It is a daydream for Japan to try to wrest any concession from the DPRK with tightened sanctions or increased pressure. They will only lead its hostile policy towards the DPRK to a disgraceful failure.
    The reporter strongly urged the Japanese authorities to face up to the trend of the times, immediately lift the sanctions and stop the suppression of Chongryon at once.
    Solidarity speeches were made by Japanese figures at the meeting to be followed by protest speeches by officials of Chongryon. The meeting introduced solidarity messages from reunification movement organizations in the north and the south and overseas and placards from political parties and civic and public organizations of south Korea.
    The meeting decided to form a protest delegation headed by Ko Tok U, vice-chairman of the Central Standing Committee of Chongryon and chairman of the Committee for Rights and Welfare, with Koreans from different social standings as its members and send a written protest to the Japanese government.
