The Director of the Institute for Japan Studies under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea released a press statement on the 20th under the title "The War Criminal State Japan's Attempt to Go Nuclear Must Be Prevented at Any Cost As It Will Bring Mankind a Great Disaster".

The press statement said as follows:

Recently, the new Cabinet of Japan has made extremely dangerous military moves that put the preceding governments into the shade, heightening the vigilance at home and abroad. Shortly ago, a high-ranking official of the Japanese government unhesitatingly made very provocative remarks that Japan should possess nuclear weapons, talking about the "security environment around Japan getting more serious" and the "necessity to bolster up its own deterrent".

Such reckless remarks made by a high-ranking official in charge of recommending security policies to the government prove that the Japanese political circles are trying hard to possess nuclear weapons, and clearly show Japan's bellicose and aggressive nature.

Availing itself of the situation of Ukraine, Japan has persistently sought the possibility and way of possessing nuclear weapons by raising the "theory of sharing nuclear weapons" calling for deploying US nuclear weapons in it to jointly employ them and trying to join "AUKUS".

When it was reported that the United States allowed the Republic of Korea to possess a nuclear submarine, the Chief Cabinet Secretary, the Minister of Defence and other high-ranking government officials of Japan immediately began to openly talk about the need to possess a nuclear-powered submarine which has been prohibited.

All facts go to prove that the Japanese authorities are scheming to pave the way for nuclearization while examining the reaction of public opinion at home and abroad to their ambition for nuclear possession and misleading the public to get used to it gradually.

Japan is just a rogue state capable of arming itself with nuclear weapons and igniting another war of aggression once occasion comes, and Japan's true purpose of crying out about the "threats from neighboring countries" is to justify its moves to become a military giant with nuclearization as its ultimate goal.

The progressive mankind loving justice and peace should resolutely check the dangerous military acts of Japan, a war criminal state which is rushing toward nuclearization with the backing of the United States, denying its crime-woven history.
