Japanese Foreign Minister Kishida on Oct. 25 pulled up the DPRK's measures for bolstering up self-defence capability and spouted such invective that "it is important to ratchet up the pressure while cooperating with international community" and "independent measure together with measure through the UNSC is in the pipeline".

He asserted that he has a "will to examine the tightening of sanctions including the expansion of sanctions on businesses of third countries related to north Korea".

Japan has not yet shaken off the ill-fame of an enemy state. It is a ridiculous act that Kishida, who stands in the van of humiliating diplomacy, spouted such litany of rigmaroles as "tightening of sanctions", still unaware of where he stands.

Japan is a top-class war criminal state as it occupied Korea and committed hideous unethical crimes for over four decades in the last century.

In the past the Japanese imperialists forcibly drafted more than 8.4 million young and middle aged Korean people, mercilessly killed over one million people, kidnapped, raped and forcibly drafted 200 000 Korean women ranging from teens to married women in a bid to force them into sexual slavery at battle sites.

Nowhere in the world can be found such a criminal state which made women in different countries sexual slaves, a means for raising the morale of aggression forces as the Japanese imperialists did.

Japan is still on the dock as it justified the aggression of Korea by itself and left the Korean people indelible grudge, far from admitting the war crimes. Under such situation, Japan is talking about putting sanctions upon the victimized state. This is the vicious and heinous provocation little short of adding to the crimes it already committed.

Japan, the worst human right criminal state which is not entitled to talk about the human rights, seeks to check the overseas dispatch of workers while mentioning someone's "human rights issue". This is an unpardonable violation of human rights and impudent interference in the internal affairs of a sovereign state.

Kishida's remarks go to clearly prove once again that Japan is the sworn enemy that inflicted immeasurable misfortune and pain on the Korean people in the past and it makes desperate efforts in the van to prevent the independent development of the DPRK.

The just nuclear striking means of our revolutionary armed forces, powerful treasured sword of protecting the nation's sovereignty and right to existence to cope with the increased U.S. and other hostile forces' moves to stifle the DPRK, are ready to mount a preemptive attack if enemies make even the slightest provocation.

Japan's frantic moves to put sanctions upon the DPRK, following in the footsteps of its master, will bring it closer to the sight of the DPRK.

The responsibility for the consequences will be held by the reckless reactionary forces of Japan like Kishida.
