Crimes of Japan, Sworn Enemy of Korean Nation
Pyongyang, April 7 (KCNA) -- After fabricating the "Ulsa Five-point Treaty" in a brigandish way, the Japanese imperialists buckled down to annexing Korea to Japan and making the Korean people its slaves.
To this end, the imperialists sought to provide a legal mechanism for usurping the feudal Korean government's authority for handling internal affairs, which existed only for form's sake.
The Japanese imperialists regarded as the first obstacle Emperor Kojong who remained opposed to their seizure of Korea's sovereignty at that time. Therefore, they left no means and methods untried to eliminate him.
Emperor Kojong sent emissaries to the Second International Peace Conference held in 1907 to disclose the illegality and invalidity of the "Ulsa (1905) Five-point Treaty" and the injustice of Japan's colonial rule over Korea. Regarding it as a golden opportunity, the Japanese imperialists forcibly dethroned Emperor Kojong through threat and blackmail, pressure and cunning tricks.
Later, they put Sunjong on the throne and let Hirobumi Ito, resident-general of Korea, cook up the "Jongmi Seven-point Treaty".
The "treaty" required the feudal Korean government to go under the instructions of the resident-general of Japan in the policy issues and obtain his approval before revising law or making important administrative decisions. It also obliged the feudal Korean government to appoint any senior government official with the consent of the resident-general and to appoint Japanese nominated by the resident-general as a high-ranking government official.
After completely seizing the right to internal affairs of the feudal Korean government, ranging from the judicial, legislative and administrative affairs to the appointment of government officials by invoking the "Jongmi Seven-point Treaty", an illegal fraud document devoid of legitimacy, the Japanese imperialists had enforced barbarous colonial rule over Korea. -0-

Press Statement of Jang Kum Chol, First Vice-Minister and Director General of Tenth Department of Foreign Ministry of DPRK
Pyongyang, April 7 (KCNA) -- Jang Kum Chol, first vice-minister and director general of the Tenth Department of the DPRK Foreign Ministry, issued the following press statement "The true colors of the ROK, the most hostile enemy state, can never change":
The department director of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea made public a press statement related to the ROK on Monday night.
Voices of Chongwadae and various circles in the ROK analyzing it are really something to see.
If the ROK side lets out nonsense, regarding the rapid response from our government as an "exceptional friendly response" and a "quick mutual confirmation of intentions by the top leaders," this will also be recorded as world-startling fools' "hope-filled dream reading"
The thematic core of the press statement was a clear warning.
As for the press statement of the department director of the Party Central Committee, she evidently gave a witty warning to the ROK with very short and gentle sentences and expressions.
As they have a bad ear and cannot understand, I would like to awaken them to the true meaning of the press statement I read.
"You did something good. If you want to live safely, you should candidly admit your sin like this. It is, indeed, beyond my imagination that there is such a quite frank man in a pack of brazen-faced ones. You should prevent recurrence if you want to be secure. You will have to pay dearly if you persist in rash acts before us. Do not irritate us if you want to live in comfort." This is the main idea of the press statement I read.
While referring to the so-called "resolution" cooked up a few days ago by the UN Human Rights Council, Department Director Kim Yo Jong told me today that those of the ROK are little short of the dogs affected by mange that blindly bark to the tune of neighboring dogs. She also asked me whether her last night's press statement was interesting.
Of course, I replied to her that the ROK side's "hope-filled dream reading" was very interesting.
The identity of the ROK, the enemy state most hostile to the DPRK, can never change with any words or conduct. -0-
