By Xinhua,
Pyongyang : The normalization of ties between the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) and Japan is in the interests of both countries and peoples, the official news agency KCNA said Monday.
The normalization of the DPRK-Japan relationship is part of the six-nation talks agreement, said the KCNA.
It blamed the Japanese rightists’ attempts to blockade the establishment of the DPRK-Japan relations and warned Japan not to be a “trouble” as the six-party talks are making progress.
DPRK has agreed to reopen an investigation into abductions of Japanese citizens, and Japan agreed to lift some sanctions imposed on the DPRK because of its nuclear programme after both sides held governmental talks in Beijing on June 11 and 12.
