North Korea slams Abe calls Japan PM ‘stupid’ ‘political dwarf’

Pyongyang: North Korea slammed the Japanese Prime Minister on Saturday after Shinzo Abe termed the projectiles fired by Pyongyang two days back, as ballistic missiles.

A statement issued by state news agency KCNA by a vice director-general of the Department of Japanese Affairs of the North Korean foreign ministry said that “it can be said that (Shinzo) Abe is the only one idiot in the world and the most stupid man ever known in history.”

Pyongyang also made a veiled threat to fire one towards Japan, Efe news agency reported. The statement added that the Japanese prime minister “fails to tell one thing from another” and that the “underwit” is “excluded from international politics.” It went on to describe him as the “most stupid person ever known in history” as well as a “perfect imbecile and a political dwarf without parallel in the world” as well as “a dog seized with fear.”

It also accused the conservative Japanese politician of trying to thwart the stalled talks on denuclearization with the United States with his statements and hinted that “Abe may see what a real ballistic missile is in the not distant future and under his nose.”

On Thursday, North Korea fired two projectiles from a multiple launch rocket system that fell into the Sea of Japan (known as the East Sea in both the Koreas) but outside Japan’s Exclusive Economic Zone.

Abe, who had previously described such projectiles as ballistic missiles, other members of his Cabinet and Japanese defense ministry officials said that projectiles fired by North Korea on Thursday were not mere rockets. (IANS)
