KCNA Commentary Dismisses Japanese Newspapers' Story about DPRK's Uranium Enrichment
Pyongyang, July 6 (KCNA) -- Japanese papers Tokyo Shimbun and Mainichi Shimbun on July 2 released misinformation that they got what they called a "document" on the DPRK's program for developing nuclear weapons, "there was an instruction to make nuclear bombs by use of highly-enriched uranium" and "it was a political behest".

It is a politically-motivated plot to create a fresh atmosphere for ratcheting up international pressure on the DPRK as the story is a totally groundless and sheer fabrication.

It betrayed a foolish intention to legalize Japan's moves to go nuclear and emerge a military giant and calm down the vigilance and opposition of its neighboring countries to them.

Of late Japan added a provision on "contribution to ensuring state stability" to the basic law on atomic energy and revised the basic law on space, laying down legal foundations for going nuclear and militarizing the space.

It is indisputable that Japan's moves are arousing vigilance and a strong opposition of the international community.

In order to seek a way out, Japan, a master hand at lies and frauds and kingpin of intrigues, invented a story about "highly-enriched uranium" and spread it to the international community. Not content with this, the Japanese authorities set in motion even reptile papers to make the international community convince of the above-said story and went the lengths of daring hurt the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK. This is an unpardonable politically-motivated provocation.

The Japanese reactionaries hatched such despicable plot as faking up the fiction about "manufacture of nuclear weapons by use of highly-enriched uranium," not content with slandering the DPRK and telling lies about it. This goes to clearly prove that their hostile policy toward the DPRK has reached an extreme phase.

What should not be overlooked is the fact that the story was invented at a time when the attempt of the Japanese authorities to hastily conclude a military agreement with the south Korean puppet group in camera hit a snag due to the strong protest of the political and public circles of south Korea.

It is by no means accidental that a researcher of the Institute for International Studies of Moscow University for International Relations commented that Japan tried to show south Korean lawmakers that only when south Korea cooperates with Japan, can it frustrate the nuclear program of the DPRK.

Japan worked hard to sign a Japan-south Korea military agreement by orchestrating even a preposterous burlesque. This is a base act which can be conducted only by crafty and cunning barbarians of the archipelago.

The Japanese reactionaries are keen to create an international pressure upon the DPRK and do harm to it through heinous burlesque. This is nothing but a pipedream.

The Korean people will never remain a passive onlooker to the moves of Japan to go nuclear and turn itself into a military power. They will never allow any wrong act to conclude the disgraceful military agreement with the Lee group of pro-Japanese traitors.
