Rodong Sinmun yesterday said this in a signed article dealing with the recent kidnapping of a former British Stewardress of British Airways in Tokyo. This was the most hideous kidnapping of foreigners in history. Yet, Japan has neither admitted this crime nor apologized and compensated for it. Obviously, kidnapping is a serious problem in Japan. This is clearly evidenced by the recent kidnapping of a foreigner.
Kidnapping is so rampant in Japan that even foreigners are frequently abducted there.
Experience proves that they can achieve good successes only when they work out plans for economic construction best suited to their actual situation and push ahead with their implementation, while exerting efforts to national education and the development of science and technology from the stand of Juche. Something new and innovative can be created only when every developing country depends on its own efforts and technology and arouses the creative ingenuity of its people to push forward economic construction. Developing countries should further develop cooperation and exchange on the principle of collective self-reliance. They have good experience, technology and rich resources to develop economy. Collective self-reliance provides the best way for developing countries to develop economy and achieve national prosperity.
