Xinhua News Agency, Pyongyang, April 15 (Reporter: Wang Tianliao) — According to KCNA on the 15th, on the 14th, a policy official from the Japan Research Institute of North Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that Japan's recently released 2026 edition of the "Diplomatic Bluebook" is filled with habitual plundering logic and utterly absurd content, serving as a conspiracy document aimed at disguising Japan's "militaristic advances."
The statement said that whenever Japan gets the chance, it criticizes neighboring countries for exercising self-defense rights, but its true intention is to conceal its criminal ambitions to strengthen the legal framework of a war-state, expand its offensive attack capabilities, and undermine the regional security foundation.
The remarks pointed out that Japan fantasizes about reconstructing a "second imperial era" based on the baseless "threats from surrounding countries," rushing headlong down an irreversible path. The "Diplomatic Bluebook" is described as a "conspiratorial document intended to mask Japan's militaristic steps and serve as an act of opposition."
The statement further noted that Japan's groundless accusations against North Korea's measures to strengthen national defense are aimed at undermining North Korea's status as a nuclear-armed state—constituting a serious provocation that infringes upon North Korea's sovereignty, security interests, and development rights.
