Japan Disqualified to Participate in Six-Party Talks
Pyongyang, December 16 (KCNA) -- Japan is an uninvited guest and troublemaker as it poked its nose into the six-party talks just to attain its sinister aim. Any wicked troublemaker is bound to be disqualified to participate in any talks.

Rodong Sinmun Tuesday says this in a signed commentary blasting Japan for talking nonsense as regards the six-party talks.

It goes on:

Japan is working hard to underscore the importance of its presence at the said talks at any cost but this is an impertinent deed.

Japan has neither qualification nor face to talk about the talks.

It was none other than Japan which overturned even the agreed points without any trouble though they had already been stipulated in the document.

Other parties to the talks are fulfilling their commitments under the October 3 agreement, not regarding it as a burden.

It is only Japan that has doggedly refused to honor its commitment in violation of the agreement.

It not only refused to fulfill its commitment but disturbed other parties to the talks in implementing the agreement overtly and covertly while attending them.

When the United States was intending to take the DPRK off the list of "state sponsors of terrorism," Japan was busy with diplomacy aimed to persuade and implore the former not to do that. Japan's ulterior aim is to bar the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula from being solved and put spurs to the moves to turn it into a military giant under that pretext. It is mean, indeed, for Japan to try to turn the six-party talks into a platform for attaining its selfish aim.

There is no need to allow the above-said troublemaker to sit at the negotiating table any longer as it is seeking an ulterior purpose, impertinently involving itself in the six-party talks.
