[Asia Economy Reporter Sung Ki-ho] North Korea criticized Japan, accusing it of revealing "ambitions for re-invasion." This refers to recent remarks on Japan's naval power enhancement.


On the 13th, North Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, through its website, published an article under the name of Ra Guk-cheol, a researcher at the Japan Research Institute, stating, "Japan launched the new frigate 'Mogami' on March 3rd, followed by the commissioning of the acoustic measurement ship 'Aki' on the 4th. It openly announced plans to commission new frigates, minesweepers, and submarines within March," and "It also unhesitatingly announced plans to build 22 more such vessels in the future," condemning these actions.



The Ministry of Foreign Affairs claimed, "Even the nominal 'Peace Constitution' is being revised, and this is a continuation of the unchanging re-invasion frenzy of militaristic fanatics trying to realize the old delusion of the 'Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere.'"
