Greetings to Syrian President
FOR SPANISH -SPEAKING PEOPLE.
Pyongyang, March 8 (KCNA) -- As already reported, the U.S. State
Department in a recent "annual report" on
the world human rights slandered the DPRK again. The "annual report" does
not deserve even a passing note as it is
full of absurd view on value and logic reversing black and white. Because
the United States is not qualified to say
anything about the human rights situation in the world.
Out of every 100,000 people in the U.S. eight persons are murdered, at
least 300 injured, more than 70 women
raped, at least 200 people plundered and over 5,000 people are robbed of
their properties every year.
No wonder, criminals call the U.S. a "heaven" for murderers, rapists,
plunderers and thieves.
Worse still, over 10 million jobless people and at least 6.1 million
children are wandering about the streets. At
least 46 million people are below the poverty line and one fourth of the
children are suffering from malnutrition.
And more than 47 million people are suffering from diseases without
getting any simple health care.
This poorest human rights record in the U.S. is attributable to its
social system's degeneration of human ethics.
Prevalent in the U.S. are only the view on life and inhuman politicial
view based on the jungle law that "a man
must be a wolf towards the other man."
It is nothing but a political caricature for the U.S. to talk about
political freedom and rights, though it is not in a
position to guarantee the right to existence to the people.
The U.S. is ill-famed for the poorest human rights record and the most
serious violation of human rights in the
world.
However, the U.S. styles itself a "judge of human rights."
The U.S. is well advised to be in the dock as the arch violator of
human rights before vociferating about
"human rights issues" in other countries.
S. Korean authorities hit for blocking Pyongyang visit of Kim family
Pyongyang, March 8 (KCNA) -- The secretariat of the Committee for the
Peaceful Reunification of the
Fatherland yesterday published information bulletin no. 803 denouncing the
South Korean authorities for blocking
the visit to Pyongyang of the family of the late Kim Ryang Mu, permanent
vice-chairman of the south headquarters
of the National Alliance for the Country's Reunification (Pomminryon). The
South Korean "Ministry of
Unification" turned down the application filed by the widow and two
daughters of Kim Ryang Mu, who died in
January, for their visit to Pyongyang to deliver his hair and mementoes
under an unreasonable pretext that "There is
a high possibility of somebody's use of them for a political propaganda."
This clearly indicates that having committed inhuman acts which led to
Kim Ryang Mu's death, the South
Korean authorities are going to politically persecute and suppress his
family even after his death, the information
bulletin said, and continued:
By blocking the Pyongyang visit of his family the South Korean
authorities once again disclosed their unjust
position on the pro-reunification patriotic movement in South Korea.
The South Korean authorities should halt the unjust crackdown on the
south headquarters of pomminryon, the
South Korean Federation of University Student Councils and other
pro-reunification patriotic organizations and
pro-reunification figures and legalize all their activities. And they
should allow at an early date the Pyongyang visit
of the late Kim Ryang Mu's family aimed to fulfil his will.
KCNA on S. Korean authorities' undisguised flunkeyist deed
Pyongyang, March 8 (KCNA) -- The flunkeyist deed of the South Korean
authorities is getting all the more
undisguised these days. The newly-appointed South Korean ambassador to
Japan, in a recent interview with a
Japanese paper, asked for an early realization of the Japanese king's South
Korea visit and the "bill on prefectural
suffrage."
This shows part of deep-rooted flunkeyism of the South Korean ruling
quarters from the present chief executive
to an ambassador, which is arousing indignation of the nation.
As for the "Japanese Emperor," he is a target of the Korean people's
wrath and curses for misfortunes and pain
inflicted upon them through centuries and a symbol of the criminal
militarist Japan.
The South Korean rulers said that the Japanese king's South Korea visit
would "improve" the South
Korea-Japan relations. The fact proves that they are thrice-cursed
flunkeyist traitors ignorant of the nation's past
woven with misfortunes.
Their begging for the "bill on prefectural suffrage", which has been
rejected from long ago, can never be
overlooked.
It is the moves to make Koreans in Japan break with the General
Association of Korean Residents in Japan and
split and disunite the compatriots' community.
This is a crime of hailing the Japanese reactionaries' national
assimilation and split policy.
The South Korean authorities will face a stern punishment of the nation
for their flunkeyist deeds.
Dominican party leader on DPRK's army-first politics
Pyongyang, March 8 (KCNA) -- Ivan Rodriguez, chairman of the central
committee of the Dominican Workers'
Party, who visited Korea to celebrate the birthday of the leader Kim Jong
Il, had an interview before his departure.
In the interview he, referring to the army-first politics and benevolent
politics of the DPRK, said that his visit was
the most impressive one through which he realized that the DPRK's might and
miracles are based on Kim Jong Il's
unique revolutionary line and policy of giving priority to the army.
He continued:
Kim Jong Il, a great politician of the present times, set forth the
army-first revolutionary line on the basis of
deep insight into the prevailing situation which requires the DPRK to
defend the destiny of the people and socialism,
singlehandedly fighting imperialism, and has successfully applied it into
the realities of Korea. He puts forward the
army as the main pillar and driving force of the revolution not only in
defending the fatherland but also in
accomplishing the cause of socialism. Under his army-first politics Korean
socialism has always emerged victorious
and the DPRK has demonstrated its might to the full.
The imperialists are very afraid of the invincible might of the Korean
people's army. the realities of the DPRK
clearly prove that the army-first politics is the all-powerful sword for
defending socialism and a powerful weapon
for realizing the human cause of independence.
What impressed him during the stay is also the benevolent politics that
can be found only in the DPRK, he said,
adding:
The history of this politics shaped by President Kim Il Sung is now
being continued successfully by Kim Jong
Il, the great successor to his cause.
Philosophical principle of Juche
Pyongyang, March 8 (KCNA) -- The Juche philosophy is a new
revolutionary doctrine centred on man. It was
founded by President Kim Il Sung.
It is based on the philosophical principle that man is the master of
everything and decides everything.
The position and role of man in the world are expounded from a new
angle on this principle.
That man is the master of everything means that he dominates the world.
Man lives dominating nature and
society, not subjected to his surrounding world. There are many areas and
objects in the world that man does not
dominate. Man, however, is steadily expanding his sphere of domination as
his cognition faculty and practical
capacity are increased.
That man decides everything means that he plays a decisive role in
transforming nature and society and shaping
his destiny.
Man plays a leading role in transforming the world contrary to the
spontaneous interaction of the material world
in general. Great are influence and action of objective factors such as the
prevailing circumstances and material and
technological means in transforming and developing the world. but it is man
who matures objective conditions,
makes material and technological means and uses them. As a result, their
use and might depends on man. This
proves that man plays a decisive role in transforming the world.
The philosophical principle of Juche clarifies that man is responsible
for his destiny. No force on earth can be
responsible for the destiny of man except for him. Man can shape his
destiny by himself. Man is hewing out his
destiny while conquering nature with his creative labour and transforming
society through continued revolutionary
struggle.
With the clarification of the philosophical principle that man is the
master of everything and that he decides
everything, his position and role in the world are most correctly expounded
and a right way is indicated for shaping
his destiny.
Another anti-north charade in S. Korea under fire
Pyongyang, March 8 (KCNA) -- Recently the anti-communist right-wing
conservative forces of South Korea,
including those of the "Grand National Party," have clamoured about the
"north's tunnel" case. Rodong Sinmun
today in signed commentary terms this as a sheer lie that does not deserve
even a passing note and a trick to turn the
upcoming "elections" in their favour. Recalling that no sooner had a "row
about a tunnel" been kicked up than the
"joint chiefs of staff" together with a special organ examined the scene
and officially announced that it was verified
to be a natural tunnel, the commentary says, and goes on:
However, ultra-right reactionaries are vociferating about an
"investigation into the truth" behind such a false
case in a bid to escape from a miserable defeat they are expected to suffer
in the "national assembly election" due to
the "anti-nomination, anti-candidate campaign".
It is a trite method of the right-wing reactionary forces to divert
elsewhere the people's attention by fabricating a
"shocking case" and attain their sinister political aim.
The successive South Korean authorities have employed such method. The
clan of the "Grand National Party"
faked up a "tunnel" case" as their predecessors did in a bid to deflect the
people's hatred from them and escalate the
anti-north confrontation moves and thus turn the forthcoming "election" in
their favour.
But such a foolish burlesque cannot go down with anyone.
International Women's Day commemorated in DPRK
Pyongyang, March 8 (KCNA) -- The Korean women are significantly
commemorating the 90th International
Women's Day. A national meeting to commemorate the anniversary took place
at the People's Palace of Culture. Its
participants and all the women paid profound tribute to President Kim Il
Sung, retrospecting his immortal exploits
with deep emotion. He paid deep attention to the solution to the women's
problem since he set out on the road of
revolution in his early years. After the liberation of the country he
promulgated the Law on Sex Equality on July 30,
1946, his own work, to emancipate the women from the evil feudal practice
of treating women as inferior to men
and let them participate in public life with equal rights with men.
The meeting was followed by a performance given by artistes who staged
colorful pieces reflecting the happy
life of the Korean women.
Women in the capital city of Pyongyang and those in provinces, cities
and counties commemorate the day with
multifarious functions.
In Pyongyang colorful sports and amusement games took place with
attendance of 5,000 women at the table
tennis gymnasium in Chongchun Street under the sponsorship of the central
committee of the Korean Democratic
Women's Union.
The amusement games started with a parade of a women's brass band and
mass rhythmic exercise performed by
more than 500 women.
National folk games such as swinging, seesawing, yacht game and
national defence sports games such as
hurdle race and many other colourful events, including a women's group
running with their ankles tied, carrying big
potatoes, throwing a ball into a basket, etc. reflected the happy life of
the women.
Wives of foreign diplomatic envoys and officials here joined Korean
women in various events, including
running inside rings and pasting pictures, etc. thus deepening the friendship.
The game ended with Taekwon-do exercise for health performed by 500
women. Working women in the fields
of education, culture, public health, commerce, textile, daily necessities
and food processing have greeted the day
with signal achievements.

Pyongyang, March 8 (KCNA) -- Hong Song Nam, premier of the DPRK

Greetings to Syrian President
Pyongyang, March 8 (KCNA) -- Kim Yong Nam, President of the presidium
of the DPRK Supreme People's
Assembly, on Tuesday sent a message of greetings to Hafez Al Assad,

responsabilidad recaera sobre ee. uu.
pyongyang, 8 de febrero (atcc) -- ayer, el diario "rodong sinmun" en un
comentario condena a ee.uu. que
intenta mas abiertamente para aplastar en lo militar a la rpd de corea so
pretexto injusto. tan pronto como se publico
la posicion de principios de la rpdc en cuanto al ensayo del sistema de
"defensa de misil" de ee.uu. el ex asistente del
secretario de defensa norteamericano al perorar del "desarrollo de misil"
de aquella, vocifero de que le aplicaria
"sancion" mediante la movilizacion del congreso y "le demandaria el "pago
de costo de combustible" que se le habia
ofrecido y otras cosas.
el comentario senala que esto no es su criterio personal sino la
revelacion de la intencion de ee.uu. de aplastar en
lo militar a la rpdc. ee.uu. habla muy impudicamente del "pago de la costa
de combustible", subraya el comentario y
continua:
el petroleo crudo que ee.uu. nos ofrece es para indemnizar de nuestra
perdida energetica hasta cuando se termine
la construccion de reactores de agua ligera. sufrimos tremendos danos
porque ee.uu. dilata la construccion de
reactores de agua ligera. la situacion electrica de nuestro pais es muy
tensa debido a nuestras medidas de congelacion
nuclear.
la perdida economica causada por estas es tan grande que no se pueda
comparar con el precio del petroleo crudo
ofrecido por ee. uu.
la construccion de dichos reatores no tiene la perspectiva de terminar
tampoco el ano 2010.
ee. uu. debe hacer indemnizacion del respecto responsabilizandose
debidamente de eso.
sin embargo, ee.uu. cacarea del "pago de la costa", lo cual es un abuso
de la palabra.
si ee.uu. piensa como si solo ellos mismos tuvieran el derecho a opcion
eso es un gran error.
tambien tenemos tal derecho.
no queremos despilfarrar la hora, restringidos por el acuerdo basico
rpdc-ee.uu. no sabiendo el tiempo de su
ejecucion. ee.uu. sabra bien que consecuencia engendrara tal caso.
la responsabilidad recaera enteramente sobre ee.uu.
