The statement said that Abe regime's arrogant exclusion of the kindergartens of the Korean schools from the program fully reveals the chronic national chauvinism of the island country and shows again that the Japanese reactionaries' hostile policy towards the DPRK and the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan (Chongryon) and their inveterate repugnancy and ill-intended discrimination against the Korean nation never change.

It went on:

The Japanese reactionaries, not content with putting down Chongryon and Koreans in Japan, are trying to use education and upbringing for preschool children of the Koreans in Japan as a bargaining chip for negotiations. Their mean act fully lays bare the true colors of Abe regime which talks about the "dialogue without any condition".

The Japanese authorities' discrimination against the Korean children in Japan adds to the frozen DPRK-Japan relations.

They would be well advised to behave themselves, though belatedly, bearing in mind that if they commit crimes against the trend of the times, they would be left alone out of the world political current, to say nothing of visit to the DPRK.
