North Korea: "Japan, Stop Distorting the History of Invasion with the War Criminal Flag..."

[Asia Economy Reporter Joselgina] "The Rising Sun Flag, a war criminal flag, distorts the history of invasion and deceives the public."

North Korea protested on the 9th against Japan posting Thai-language explanatory materials on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website claiming there is no problem with the Rising Sun Flag, calling it "distortion and deception."

On the same day, North Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs published an article titled "Don't Make the World Laugh" on its website, authored by Min Kyung-moo, a researcher at the Japan Research Institute, criticizing Japan in this manner.

Researcher Min said, "Denying history and distorting the truth is a unique trait of Japan and a chronic bad habit," adding, "No country will be fooled by Japan's trick to glorify the Rising Sun Flag, which is like the Nazi flag."

Last year, Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs posted Korean and English materials in the Rising Sun Flag introduction section on its website stating, "The Rising Sun Flag design is used in various aspects of daily life such as fishing flags, childbirth, and holidays." Last month, the same content was translated into Thai and posted.

Researcher Min claimed that Japan's enthusiasm for promoting the Rising Sun Flag is "an absurd sophistry that makes the world laugh."
