The communist party newspaper Rodong Sinmun said in an editorial Wednesday that Japan's permanent membership of the UNSC cannot be tolerated as it will only harm world peace.

It cited Japan's past crimes against Asian and other countries, a current revival of its militarism and threats to neighboring countries.

The paper also notes that Japan has no independent foreign policy and only blindly follows the United States.

It said Japan is not trusted by its neighbors and granting Japan a permanent seat will only harm the authority of the UN Security Council.

The editorial pointed out that for Japan to become a permanent member of the Security Council, it must sincerely reflect on and compensate for its past.
