Chongryon Official Condemns Lee Myung Bak Group's Moves to Escalate Confrontation with Compatriots
Pyongyang, January 16 (KCNA) -- Ri Ju Hak, chairman of the Fukuoka prefectural headquarters of the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan (Chongryon), Friday made public a statement condemning the Lee Myung Bak group for its heinous moves to escalate confrontation with fellow countrymen.

He said: Since the outset of his office Lee Myung Bak has been hell-bent on sycophancy, treachery and confrontation with fellow countrymen. However, the DPRK has made sincere efforts for reunification, prompted by the patriotic desire to bring about national reunification, the aspiration of all the Koreans, as early as possible, as evidenced by its broadminded proposal for dialogue and negotiations, not asking about his past.

But, the Lee group turned down the proposal for dialogue made by compatriots, defying the aspiration and wishes of the fellow countrymen. Worse still, this group of traitors no better than animals rubbed salt into the wounds of the compatriots grieving the passing of the great father of the nation born of Heaven. These confrontation maniacs can never be pardoned.

Officials and other compatriots under the Fukuoka prefectural headquarters will join in the nationwide struggle to throw Lee Myung Bak into a graveyard of history, he stressed.
