Swiss Organizations Support DPRK's Just Stand

Pyongyang, August 23 (KCNA) -- The Swiss preparatory committee for 2017 Meeting Praising Great Persons of Mt. Paektu, the Switzerland-Korea Committee and the Swiss Group for the Study of the Juche Idea made public a joint statement on Aug. 16 in support of the statement of a spokesman for the Korean Committee on Measures for the Sexual Slavery for Japanese Army and Drafting Victims and the appeal of the All-Korean Committee for Implementation of June 15 Joint Declaration. The joint statement said: The spokesman for the Korean Committee on Measures for the Sexual Slavery for Japanese Army and Drafting Victims in a statement bitterly denounced the Japanese imperialists for committing shuddering crimes against the Korean people during the colonial rule over Korea. Japan is obliged to redeem its past with candid and sincere attitude to the past crimes and be faithful to its responsibility and duty before the international community. On the same day the All-Korean Committee for Implementation of June 15 Joint Declaration issued an appeal to all Koreans in the north, the south and abroad. The appeal called for frustrating all the moves of anti-reunification forces at home and abroad who pursue national division and confrontation, and achieving the unity of the whole nation. It underscored the need to pool the nation's efforts and wisdom and promote reconciliation and unity on the basis of respecting each other's social system. We fully support the statement of the spokesman for the Korean Committee on Measures for the Sexual Slavery for Japanese Army and Drafting Victims and the appeal of the All-Korean Committee for Implementation of June 15 Joint Declaration. -0-
