North Korea has accused Japan of resurrecting its wartime ambitions by expanding its defence and pursuing security alliances
The article also repeated Pyongyang’s frequently used line that Japan was planning to resurrect its empire on mainland Asia, accusing Tokyo of “creating an environment favourable to realising its ambitions of overseas invasion by strengthening military collusion with global powers”.
Further underlining Pyongyang’s hostility towards Takaichi’s conservative administration, another state-run media ran a feature on Tuesday about atrocities allegedly committed by Japanese invaders in the 1592 Imjin War. Korea Central News Agency’s article reiterated descriptions of “brigandish” Japanese carrying out “unethical crimes … so hideous that they can never be pardoned”.
