DPRK protests against Japan's claim to disputed islet
(Xinhua) -- The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) condemned the Japanese authorities' claim to Tok Islet as "robber act," the official news agency KCNA reported Tuesday. A spokesman for the History Society of the DPRK said Tuesday that "this clearly proves that the moves of Japan to grab Tok Islet, part of inviolable territory of Korea, have reached the phase of its implementation." "The Korean people will never allow Japan to realize its anachronistic ambition for overseas aggression but mete out a resolute and merciless punishment to it in case it violates the sovereignty and dignity of the DPRK even a bit," it added. The islet is called Tok in Korean and Takeshima in Japanese. Both nations claimed the islet part of their territory. Posted by: Fred 2008-07-30 |
