The statement accused the Japanese reactionaries of recently kicking up a provocative sanctions racket under the pretext of the successful H-bomb test and satellite launch of the DPRK.

It said:

The DPRK's H-bomb test and satellite launch can not be found fault with by Japan as they represent the exercise of a sovereign state's legitimate and independent right and justifiable measures.

The Japanese reactionaries' real intention is to stifle the socialist system of the DPRK which is leaping forward and advancing on a daily basis under the banner of the Juche idea.

Their any sanctions can not block the DPRK's advance guided by the Juche idea and self-supporting national economy.

The progressive forces of Britain fully support the just stand of the DPRK which decided to totally stop the comprehensive investigation into all the Japanese that was under way under the inter-governmental Stockholm agreement and dissolve the "Special Investigation Committee" as Japan revealed its black-hearted intention to push the DPRK-Japan relations to a catastrophe and stand up against the DPRK to the end.
