Kishida's Visit to South Korea under Fire

West Coast Exchange, North Korea Watcher Conference, Sept. 2026

Pyongyang, May 10 (KCNA) -- The full text of the article "What did Kishida's visit to south Korea contribute to the security of Japan" which was issued by Kim Sol Hwa who is a researcher of the Institute for Japan Studies of the DPRK Foreign Ministry on Wednesday is as follows: Japanese Prime Minister Kishida visited south Korea from May 7 to 8. The Japanese prime minister flew to south Korea amid the mounting public denunciation and criticism at home and abroad of the south Korean chief executive's visit to the U.S., which revealed his humiliating diplomacy toward the U.S. This further amplified the concern of the region and the international community. The visit perfectly showed what its purpose is, as expected by the public at home and abroad that it will pour oil on the fire. At a meeting with the south Korean chief executive, Kishida groundlessly took issue with the DPRK and neighboring countries, asserting that "they reached a consensus on the importance of strengthening the deterrent and countering ability through the Japan-U.S. alliance, the south Korea-U.S. alliance and the Japan-U.S.-south Korea security cooperation, amid the continued provocative acts of north Korea and its visible attempt to unilaterally change the current situation by force." What should not be overlooked is that Japan openly revealed its attempt to get involved in the "Washington Declaration", the most typical product of the heinous hostile policy toward the DPRK, which was devised by the U.S. and south Korean rulers. There is no doubt that such reckless behavior of Japan blindly trusting the U.S. is pursuant to the proactive backstage manipulation by its U.S. master. The south Korean chief executive, obsessed with sycophancy toward the U.S., said "Japan's participation in the Washington Declaration would not be ruled out" and south Korea would cooperate with Japan any time. This represents the U.S. sinister intention to establish the U.S.-led "nuclear military alliance" in Northeast Asia by setting up the "tripartite extended deterrence consultative group" with Japan and south Korea. The "Washington declaration", the keynote of which is to form a "nuclear consultative group" and deploy a U.S. strategic nuclear submarine in south Korea, is the most undisguised scenario for nuclear confrontation seriously threatening peace and security not only of the Korean peninsula and Northeast Asia but also in the rest of the world. Japan should ponder over what his act of joining the U.S- south Korea nuclear cooperation means. The U.S. firmly promised to protect the Japanese archipelago as its mainland whenever an opportunity presented itself. This is prompted by its attempt to use Japan as a tool for carrying out the U.S. Indo-Pacific strategy. It is worth remembering that the editor-in-chief of Wall Street Journal once said that San Francisco might be destroyed by a nuclear attack and there is no prospect that the U.S. would defend Japan. Japan should not forget that the U.S., which had made hundreds of thousands of innocent Japanese people fall victim to the world's only nuclear holocaust, considers the Japanese archipelago as a war powder magazine and logistic base only. If Japan persistently resorts to forming the U.S.-led tripartite military alliance, turning its face away from the reality, it will plunge Northeast Asia into instability and finally turn it into a sea of flames, where it will perish. Japan's attempt to protect its security with its pro-U.S. one-sided policy is nothing but a short-sighted one to live in a house built near a nuclear powder magazine. If Japan truly wants the security of the archipelago, it would be wise to do things helpful to maintaining the stable relations with neighboring countries, away from its policy of kowtowing to the U.S.
