Pyongyang, February 12 (KCNA) -- Japan finally passed the "amendment to the law on foreign exchange" calling for applying sanctions and blockade against the DPRK through the House of Councilors at its meeting on Feb. 9.
By passing the amendment through the House of Councilors in the wake of its carriage through the House of Representatives on Jan. 29 Japan adopted it as its state policy to apply economic sanctions against the DPRK, disclosing its despicable true colors as a sworn enemy of the Korean nation.
This legislation clearly proves that Japan is keen to bedevil the DPRK-Japan relations of confrontation, isolate and stifle the DPRK and realize its ambition for reinvasion whatever the cost, while paying its lip-service to dialogue.
The Japanese authorities in collusion with ruling and opposition parties staged such farce as revising the law at the Diet in a bid to strangle an independent sovereign state. This can take place only in such an abnormal country as Japan where moral vulgarity and shamelessness have reached their height.
The Japanese reactionaries who have acted a shock brigade in implementing the U.S. hostile policy toward the DPRK are now asserting that it is now possible for Japan to unilaterally apply sanctions against the DPRK.
This is a wanton violation of the DPRK-Japan Pyongyang Declaration in which both sides committed themselves to abide by international law and refrain from doing any act of threatening the security of the other side. This also clearly proves that the Japanese reactionaries' thinking power has reached the state of paralysis.
Japan's hostile policy toward the DPRK is getting all the more pronounced as the days go by though it is not yet 2 years since the publication of the Pyongyang declaration. This is hardening the determination of the Korean army and people toward Japan which has brought all sorts of pain and misfortune to the Korean nation in the past to fully settle accounts with it.
The Japanese reactionaries have constantly applied economic sanctions against the DPRK for scores of years since the end of the war. But it is the first time that they have become so frantic in their economic sanctions against the DPRK.
The DPRK will regard any economic sanctions against it by the Japanese reactionaries as a declaration of war and take a resolute counter-measure for self-defense.
The Japanese reactionaries should clearly understand that the Koreans are not what they used to be in the past when they were oppressed and despised by the Japanese imperialists.
Japan will have to bear full responsibility for all the consequences to be caused to the bilateral relations if it keeps going reckless, forgetful of the historical lesson.
