Party and state cadres visit International Friendship Exhibition
Pyongyang, April 8 (KCNA) -- Senior party and state officials, chairmen
of friendly parties and leading officials of ministries and national
institutions visited the International Friendship Exhibition yesterday on
the occasion of the 90th birth anniversary of President Kim Il Sung.
On display at the exhibition are national treasures of Kim Il Sung's
Korea which show the high international prestige of Kim Il Sung and leader
Kim Jong Il and the firm solidarity of the world revolutionary people with
the Korean revolution.
The senior party and state officials first laid before the statue of Kim
Il Sung in the township of Hyangsan a floral basket, together with bunches
of flowers, in the joint name of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party
of Korea, the presidium of the supreme people's assembly and the cabinet of
the DPRK and paid homage to him.
Being briefed on the fact that heads of party, state and government, the
progressive personages and organizations of at least 170 countries presented
the president with over 165,800 gifts carrying their deep reverence for him,
they went round the exhibition.
KCNA on U.S. anti-DPRK smear campaign
Pyongyang, April 8 (KCNA) -- The U.S. congressional investigation
bureau, in a report on South Korea-U.S. relations recently submitted to the
congress, claimed that the DPRK "used" for a military purpose the money,
which was paid for the Mt. Kumgang tourism. This is one more anti-DPRK smear
campaign.
The political motive and aim of the report are clear as it has been
based on information faked up by the U.S. CIA and the U.S. forces command in
South Korea.
In a word, such diatribe is part of the evermore undisguised anti-DPRK
plot of the U.S. administration to block the implementation of the June 15
North-South Joint declaration and cooperation and exchange between the two
sides of Korea.
As everyone knows, the Korean nation will soon mark the second
anniversary of the joint declaration, a milestone for national
reunification.
On this occasion, the people's will is growing stronger and their
efforts are increasing on the Korean Peninsula to reunify the country by the
united efforts of the nation in the spirit of the joint declaration.
It is against this backdrop that the Bush administration has escalated
its smear campaign against the DPRK and wirepulled the intelligence agency
and the military to spread misinformation to justify the campaign. This
indicates its sinister political aim.
Through this the administration seeks, in the long run, to justify its
intention to provoke a new war on the Korean Peninsula, quell the South
Korean people's desire to achieve independence against the U.S. and force
the South Korean authorities to purchase more U.S.-made weapons. It is also
aimed to foil the Mt. Kumgang tourism, a symbol of inter-Korean cooperation,
and thus bedevil the relations between the North and the south of Korea.
In this regard, the DPRK has repeatedly warned the U.S. that it should
behave itself with reason.
If the U.S. continues resorting to such smear campaign to hinder the
implementation of the inter-Korean joint declaration and cooperation and
exchange between the north and the south of Korea, while insisting on the
anachronistic hostile policy towards the DPRK in disregard of its warnings,
it will only touch off a stronger anti-U.S. sentiment of the Korean people.
Book "Long Road of Friendship" published in China
Pyongyang, April 8 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun today dedicates an editorial
article to the 20th death anniversary of anti-Japanese revolutionary fighter
Choe Hyon.
It says:
Choe was a revolutionary fighter loyal to President Kim Il Sung and his
excellent revolutionary comrade and a brave and talented commanding officer
who performed great feats in the revolutionary wars against U.S. and
Japanese imperialists.
He devoted his all to the country and the people to the last moments of
his life, upholding the leader of revolution with arms.
His life was not only a life of a revolutionary soldier who remained
intensely loyal to the president but also a life of an indomitable
revolutionary and a true loyalist who devoted his all to the struggle for
the party and the revolution.
Saying that Choe's revolutionary life was a very noble and brilliant one
because the whole course of his revolutionary struggle is consistent with
the revolutionary outlook on the leader, the daily carries the impressive
facts about his loyalty to the president displayed in the period of the
anti-Japanese armed struggle, the period just after the liberation of the
country and the period of the fatherland liberation war.
His transparent outlook on the leader remained unchanged even a bit in
the glorious road to hold Kim Jong Il in high esteem as the great leader of
the Workers' Party and people of Korea and give a pure and steady continuity
to the revolutionary cause of Juche.
He was the model of a revolutionary who showed in real practice the
truth of life that only the loyalty which is carried forward generation
after generation is a true one.
His noble spirit and feats are more shining with the era of the
army-based policy and he will always remain a loyalist in the hearts of the
Korean army and people who are devotedly defending Kim Jong Il.
Credentials to Kim Yong Nam from new Swedish ambassador
Pyongyang, April 8 (KCNA) -- A national meeting was held at the April 25
House of Culture today to commemorate the 9th anniversary of leader Kim Jong
Il's election as Chairman of the DPRK National Defence Commission.
Kim Jong Il was elected Chairman of the DPRK National Defence Commission
at the fifth session of the 9th Supreme People's Assembly held on April 9,
juche 82 (1993). And he was reelected Chairman of the DPRK National Defence
Commission at the first session of the 10th Supreme People's Assembly at
which the authority and position were increased to meet the requirements of
the developing revolution.
Senior party and state officials were present at the meeting. Vice
Marshal of the Korean People's Army Kim Yong Chun, member of the DPRK
National Defence Commission and chief of the general staff of the KPA, made
a report at the meeting.
The reporter said that with Kim Jong Il held in high esteem as the
chairman of the NDC, the Korean people have been able to greet the era of
the great army-based policy and strengthen the political, military and
economic forces of the country as invincible ones and thus firmly defend the
dignity of the country and the sovereignty of the nation despite the stern
tempest of history and dynamically push forward the socialist cause of the
Juche.
The reporter further said:
After singling out the policy of giving priority to national defence,
the army-based policy, as the main political method of the state he has
exerted primary efforts for increasing the military power and thus developed
the Korean People's Army, the core of the forces for self-defence, to be
invincible army.
In this course he has provided a sure guarantee for ensuring the
progress of the revolutionary cause of Juche by force of arms.
Under his army-based leadership and meticulous care, the KPA has grown
stronger to be a contingent of loyalists who are single-heartedly united
around its Supreme Commander and a-match-for-a-hundred combat ranks capable
of defeating any enemy, the whole country turned into an impregnable
fortress and a powerful defence industry has been built.
A strong driving force of the revolution has been built up and the
single-hearted unity of the revolutionary ranks further strengthened with
the KPA as the core and a model to consolidate the socio-political
foundation of the country as firm as a rock. This is a distinguished feat
performed by Kim Jong Il through his army-based leadership.
The reporter underscored the need to be fully ready to go into action to
cope with the prevailing situation and strengthen our armed forces to be
invincible ones.
Noting that it is the primary task facing the KPA to get fully prepared
for a battle, he called upon the servicemen of the KPA to wipe out at a
single blow any enemy coming to infringe upon the country's sovereignty and
reliably defend the socialist motherland and the gains of the revolution.
Referring to the evermore undisguised moves of the U.S. ruling quarters
to stifle the socialist system of the DPRK by force of arms, Kim Yong chun
stated: the DPRK will never tolerate the U.S. extremely arrogant and
high-handed provocative moves but retaliate against them a thousand times.
If the U.S. imperialists and their followers ignite a war in the end,
the army and people of Korea will use the military potential they have built
up by tightening their belts and give vent to the pent-up grudge and
resentment and thereby wipe out the aggressors to the last one and
completely destroy the enemy's stronghold no matter where it is located on
earth.
He called for consistently making great efforts for the development of
the nation's defence industry and thoroughly implementing the Workers' Party
of Korea policy for putting all the people under arms and turning the whole
country into a fortress.
The reporter reiterated the need to remain true to the basic spirit of
the historic June 15 North-South Joint Declaration, resolutely frustrate the
obstructive moves of the anti-reunification forces at home and abroad and
achieve as early as possible the country's reunification, the nation's
cherished desire by the concerted efforts of the whole nation.
