KCNA on Japan's Moves to Justify Its War of Aggression
Korean Central News Agency(KCNA), state news agency of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), carried a commentary Feb.20 strongly criticizing remarks of a Japanese official.
The commentary said:
Norota, chairman of the budget committee of the House of Representatives of Japan and former director general of the Japan Defence Agency, recently tried to justify Japan's war of aggression in the past when he described the pacific war as a "war for greater East Asia." By his remark Norota meant that Japan's war of aggression was aimed at the national independence of Asian countries and, accordingly, Japan's policy of aggression and its past crime-woven history were not basically wrong. It is well known to everyone that similar views were expressed by Japanese politicians in the past only to stir up furore and protest at home and abroad.
That is why the international community dismisses the view of Japan and its politicians on history as totally wrong and describes them as political dwarfs avoid of sincere will to repent of and apologize for the history of the past aggression.
The point at issue is why Japan is letting loose a string of rubbish in a bid to beautify and justify the history of the past aggression in the new century, too.
The Japanese reactionaries' aim is to launch a war of reinvasion against the DPRK and other Asian countries at any cost in order to realize their old dream in the new century.
Norota's remark goes to prove that he is keen on realizing the old dream of the "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere".
Japan's history of aggression is still fresh in the memory of the Korean and other Asian peoples. They will heighten vigilance against the Japanese reactionaries' ambition for militarist aggression, never pardon them, but bury them forever, if they try to repeat the past history.
