KCNA Commentary Slams U.S.-Japan Conspiracy over Issue of Tok Islets

Pyongyang, February 12 (KCNA) -- The U.S. and Japan are getting evermore cunning and dangerous in their conspiracy over the issue of Tok Islets. Some days ago, a map showing the areas traveled by the U.S. ambassador recently was posted on the website of his embassy in Seoul. But, Tok Islets were not mentioned and the East Sea of Korea was marked as the "Sea of Japan" on the map. Timed to coincide with this, Japanese Foreign Minister Kishida said at the Diet that "he would clearly convey Japan's claim to Takeshima and persistently react for it", repeating Japan's claim to Tok Islets. The above-said facts are by no means accidental. At the end of last year the south Korean and Japanese authorities reached a politically-motivated fraudulent "agreement" to gloss over the history of the heinous sexual slavery for the Imperial Japanese Army under the manipulation of the U.S. In recent days the U.S. is mulling dictating the south Korean authorities to hand over the islets to Japan. This is, indeed, the most unbearable disgrace brought to the nation by the traitors' submission. The south Korean authorities had made a humiliating concession to Japan in the issue of the sexual slavery for the Imperial Japanese Army after yielding to the U.S. and Japanese pressure and are now going to leave the inviolable territory of the nation to their tender mercy. Collusion with outsiders leads to national ruin. The south Korean authorities should come to their senses, though belatedly, and stop the acts of bringing more disgrace to the nation through sycophancy and dependence on outsiders. -0-
