Reference News Network, November 14 report. According to the North Korean "Workers' Daily" on November 14, on November 12, the North Korean Academy of Social Sciences held a history department seminar titled "Enumerating the Crimes of the Centuries-Old Enemy Japan."
Researchers from the North Korean Academy of Social Sciences, Choe Hee-sung and Jo Myong-ryol, Vice Director of the Central Historical Museum, Kim Young-hee, and Director of the Kim Il-sung University, Yoon Yeong-yeon, presented papers that criticized the inhumane crimes committed by Japanese aggressors.
The authors of the papers argued that the Japanese aggressors caused immeasurable suffering and misfortune to the Korean people, committing large-scale crimes of brutally trampling on Korea's sovereignty.
The authors emphasized that no matter how much time passes or how many generations come and go, the historical scars left by the "centuries-old enemy Japanese invaders" on the Korean people will never heal, and "it is essential to repay this debt of blood a hundredfold."
In addition, regarding the previous statements by Takahashi Asana, who proposed increasing defense spending and revising the national security strategy ahead of schedule, North Korean media published an article criticizing Japan for tearing off the "mask of a peaceful country" and revealing the "ugly face of a war country."
According to the Korean Central News Agency in mid-October, it published a comment article on the issue of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces' Aegis destroyers carrying the American "Tomahawk" long-range cruise missiles. The article stated that Japan is trying to become a war country completely, and its military actions are increasingly moving toward dangerous steps.
The article also said that in the last century, Japan brought immeasurable suffering to Asian countries, and still clings to the old dream of the "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere." Considering this, it is clear where the spearhead of renewed aggression will point first.
"We must not remain indifferent to the reckless activities of the descendants of militarism," the article concluded.
