Japan is going to hold a video seminar on the abduction issue in the UN arena again in collusion with the U.S., Australia, EU and others.

As was in the past, the seminar is no more than a last-ditch effort of the hostile forces to tarnish the international image of the dignified DPRK and create a collective atmosphere of pressure on it.

Although Japan annually holds such a strange seminar in cahoots with those countries hell-bent on hostility toward the DPRK, it can never cover up the hideous inhumane crimes it committed against the Korean people in the last century as an assailant is unable to disguise itself as a "victim".

Japan, which occupied Korea by force of arms in the last century, forcibly drafted more than 8.4 million young and middle-aged Korean people, mercilessly killed more than one million of them and forced 200 000 Korean women into sexual slavery, is now talking about "abduction" and "human rights" in the UN arena. This is the height of shamelessness and an insult to history.

As for the "abduction issue" talked by Japanese, it has been completely, finally and irreversibly settled, thanks to our magnanimity and sincere efforts.

Japan should have honestly responded to our good faith with full apology and reparation for its past colonial rule and unethical atrocities.

However, the successive Japanese ruling quarters have hyped up the "abduction issue" and frantically incited hostility toward the DPRK, while abusing the latter's sincerity for realizing their wild political ambition for long-term office.

Even such a weird expression as "abduction industry" was produced for such a wild rumor that it was highly likely that hundreds of Japanese missing in Japan had been "abducted" by the DPRK. But, several persons alleged to be missing appeared at home, provoking criticism and derision.

It is needed to ponder how much profit the Japanese government will get from its anti-DPRK abduction racket while squandering the "abduction budget" collected as taxes from the people.

It is a waste of time for Japan to persistently bring the unfeasible issue to the fore in the international arena. It is also little short of denying the stand of the Japanese chief executive who doesn't miss an opportunity to say that he hopes for the "Japan-DPRK summit without preconditions".

No matter how desperately Japan tries to internationalize the "abduction issue", it will not attract attention from anyone, except those pseudo-"human rights" experts and riff-raffs seeking to live on the "abduction budget" of Japan, and the U.S. and its vassal forces that are so eager to side with their ally.

Japan is doggedly insisting that there would be no solution to the abduction issue unless the "repatriation of all victims" is realized. Japan should bear in mind that such insistence is no more than a daydream like calling for bringing the dead back to life.

To say in addition, the U.S., which has set new records every year in its human rights abuses and constantly broken them, has neither face nor qualifications to take issue with anyone over his "human rights" performance.

The UN should no longer be a politically-motivated plot-breeding ground against a sovereign state.

The UN arena should become the one for condemning Japan, a war criminal state, which has not yet honestly atoned for the past crimes it committed against humanity by trampling down the sovereignty of a country and a nation for more than 40 years, despite the lapse of a long time, and for urging it to redeem its inglorious past.

In order to fulfill its mission according to its sacred charter, the UN should disclose and punish Japan keen on the moves to have access to the capability for an aggressive preemptive attack under the pretext of non-existent threat from its neighbors, as well as the U.S. which is seriously threatening peace and stability in the region by actively encouraging Japan to do so.
