Kim Jong Il gives on-the-spot guidance
Pyongyang, January 30 (KCNA) -- General Secretary Kim Jong Il gave
on-the-spot guidance to the industrial
sector in North Phyongan Province where he laid stress on pushing ahead
with the work of developing the industry
of Korea into a perfect Juche-based industry in the 21st century.
Inspecting the Rakwon Machine Plant, the Kusong Machine Tool Plant, the
December 5 Youth Mine, the
Ryangchaek Bearing Plant, the Sinuiju Shoe-Making Plant, the Sinuiju
Textile Mill and other industrial
establishments from January 25 to 28, he acquainted himself in detail with
production performance there and set
forth tasks for them to fulfil.
He began his inspection tour by visiting the Rakwon Machine Plant where
he looked round the monument to
on-the-spot teachings of the President Kim Il Sung, the monument to his
on-the-spot guidance and other historic
relics.
He met and gave warm pep-talks to heroes Ho Chon Hak, Hwang Sun Hwa and
Jang Hong Jun out of the ten
party members of the Rakwon Machine Plant who had defended the party and
the leader by making hand grenades
with bare hands during the war and producing water pumps, excavators and
other machines from scratch after the
war true to the intention of the President as well as their sons and
daughters who are defending the cast iron shop
like their parents.
He stressed that the workers of the Rakwon Machine Plant should in the
future, too, give full play to the
revolutionary spirit of self-reliance and become a model for the whole
country and thus take the lead in the second
great Chollima advance.
Then he went to the Kusong Machine Tool Plant.
Going round workshops of the plant, he was greatly satisfied with the
mass-production of modern machine
tools, including numerical control lathes and drilling machines, and set
forth the tasks to be carried out by the plant.
He went round the newly-built December 5 Youth Mine, the Ryangchaek
Bearing Plant, the Sinuiju
Shoe-Making Plant and the Sinuiju Textile Mill and advanced concrete tasks
for them to fulfil.
He posed for photographs with the innovators of the Rakwon Machine
Plant, the Kusong Machine Tool Plant
and the Ryangchaek Bearing Plant.
Kim Jong Il acquainted himself with the overall performance of the
province's industrial sector, met with
leading officials of major factories and enterprises and set forth highly
important tasks to be carried out to improve
and intensify the management and operation of industrial establishments and
effect a new revolutionary turn in
economic performance.
There are a large number of key factories and enterprises, including
gigantic hydraulic power stations, machine
plants and light industry factories in the province and so it is of weighty
importance in increasing the nation's
economic potentials to upgrade the industry of the province, he said.
He indicated the tasks to tap and use industrial potentials to the
maximum to keep production going at a steady
and high rate.
He said that factories and enterprises in north Phyongan province
should continue adhering to the party's
economic policy of firmly maintaining the Juche character and independence
of industry and make great efforts to
tap and use production potentials so as to make the already-laid economic
foundation pay off.
For meeting the ever-increasing needs for electricity, machines and
light industrial goods it is necessary to push
ahead with technical reconstruction without let-up to increase production
capacity and build more power stations and
modern factories, he said.
He said in order for factories and enterprises to keep production going
at a steady and high rate it is essential to
give precedence to political work to bring the creative ingenuity of the
producers into full play and, at the same time,
provide them with excellent supply conditions to meet the requirements of
the Taean work system, the communist
method of enterprise management.
He indicated the tasks to thoroughly implement the party's policy of
realising Juche-orientation, modernisation
and scientification of the national economy and improve the quality of
products.
He said in order to produce all the goods as high-quality ones it is
necessary to imbue the workers with the
consciousness of being masters and conduct a mass technical innovation
drive as well as their increased creative
cooperation with technicians.
He underscored the need to give fuller play to the revolutionary spirit
of self-reliance.
The experience of different plants in the province clearly proves the
validity and vitality of the slogan of the
Worker's Party of Korea "Self-reliance is a way out " he noted.
He set forth the tasks to be fulfilled by industrial establishments to
greatly contribute to improving the people's
living standard, thoroughly establish cultured practices in production and
life and improve and strengthen supply
service for the workers.
He called upon the workers of the province to demonstrate once again
the mettle of the heroic Korean working
class in building a powerful nation in the future, too, as befitting a
vanguard that has taken the lead in upholding the
party's cause.
He was accompanied by Kim Phyong Hae, chief secretary of the north
Phyongan provincial committee of the
WPK, Kim Kuk Thae and Kim Yong Sun, secretaries of the WPK Central
Committee, and first vice department
directors of the WPK Central Committee.

the DPRK answered a question
put by KCNA today as regards the conclusion of the Berlin DPRK-U.S.
negotiations shortly ago.
He said:
Vice ministerial-level negotiations took place in Berlin as a
continuation of the regular DPRK-U.S. talks from
January 22 to 28.
At the talks, both sides sincerely discussed pending issues between the
DPRK and the United States including
the Washington visit by a DPRK higher-level delegation.
They agreed to reopen the vice ministerial-level negotiations in New
York toward the end of February to
continue debates on pending issues including the removal of the DPRK from
the "list of countries supporting
terrorism" for the purpose of creating favourable conditions and atmosphere
for the Washington higher-level talks
before anything else.
Kim Jong Il elected Honorary Chairman

great leader Kim Jong Il as its
Honorary Chairman.
General secretary Luis Mateo Munos on January 26 informed the DPRK
ambassador to Peru of the January 24
resolution of the national executive committee of the party on this
election. And he asked the ambassador to convey
his letter to Kim Jong Il.
He said that he has well known from long ago Kim Jong Il is a peerless
hero, a great politician and an invincible
and iron-willed commander.
The Worker's Party of Korea and the Korean people have been able to
achieve signal achievements because
they have Kim Jong Il, a great man of the century, as the supreme leader of
the party, state and armed forces, he
stressed.
It is the greatest honor of the socialist party of Peru to have elected
him as its honorary chairman, he said,
adding:
We will try hard to learn from his political philosophy and great
leadership traits.
Preparatory committees formed
Pyongyang, January 30 (KCNA) -- Preparatory committees for celebrating
the 58th birthday of General
Secretary Kim Jong Il were formed in Syria and Equatorial Guinea on January
21 and 20.
The head of the department for the study of party materials of the
Socialist Unionist Party of Syria, who is a
politburo member of the party, and the Minister of State in Charge of
Missions of the Presidency of Equatorial
Guinea were elected chairmen of the preparatory committees.
Meanwhile, a preparatory committee for celebrating the February 16 was
formed with due ceremony by the
maritime territorial committee of the communist party of the Russian
federation on January 20.
The preparatory committees discussed programs of celebrations.
GIs' massacres of Koreans condemned
Pyongyang, January 30 (KCNA) -- The Asian Regional Committee for
Supporting Korea's Reunification, the
All-India Indo-Korean Friendship Association and the Indian Committee for
Supporting Korea's Reunification
issued a joint statement on January 24 supporting the statement of the DPRK
Foreign Ministry spokesman on the
continued disclosure of GIs' mass killings of innocent civilians which were
committed during the Korean War.
The statement denounced the GIs' massacres of civilians in Korea as
out-and-out intentional and planned
killings and a crime against humanity which was the most wanton violation
of the recognized international treaty and
wartime law and regulations.
It held that the United Nations should take a step to immediately
dissolve in South Korea the "UN command"
which still has the disgraceful record of mass killings and thus remove
such unsavory stain on its history.
Removal of chairman of "election measure committee of DP" urged
Pyongyang, January 30 (KCNA) -- The "United Liberal Democrats" of South
Korea on January 26 called an
extraordinary meeting of its executive committee and demanded the immediate
removal of the "chairman of the
election measure committee of the democratic party," a radio report from
Seoul said.
The "ULD" contended that the chairman made remarks insulting it as
regards the citizens organizations'
announcement of the list. "His eccentric remarks can never be tolerated,"
it said.
Describing this case as a premeditated plot of the "DP", it is taking
an attitude of confrontation with the "DP."
As a result, the discord between the two ruling parties has been further
aggravated.
Meeting of workers held
Pyongyang, January 30 (KCNA) -- A meeting of workers in the fields of
land management and environmental
protection and their related domain was held here on Jan. 29.
The meeting reviewed the successes and experience achieved in the
all-out drive for land management last year
in which our people brought about a great turn in building a powerful
nation under the leadership of the Worker's
Party of Korea and discussed the tasks and ways to effect a fresh turn in
the work in this auspicious year, the 55th
anniversary of the WPK.
At the meeting premier of the cabinet Hong Song Nam delivered a report
which was followed by speeches.
The reporter and speakers underscored the need to undertake a vigorous
mass movement for tree planting to
expand the area of forests of firewood and oil-bearing trees, and tend
trees already planted in a responsible manner
to increase their survival rate.
They called for completing the construction of the Pyongyang-Nampho
Motorway earlier than schedule,
building new roads, improving the technical conditions of roads, keeping
all roads in perfect shape and thoroughly
protecting environment for the people's living and the natural environment
of the country.
They also underlined the need to intensify scientific researches into
land and resources and consolidate the
material and technical foundation in this field.
S. Korean rulers' moves to provoke new war
Pyongyang, January 30 (KCNA) -- The South Korean rulers have become
more frantic in their moves to
provoke a new war against the north since the very outset of the year at
the bidding of the U.S. They are staging war
exercises almost everyday, crying out for the "increased combat capacity."
A spokesman for the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of the
Fatherland in a statement issued yesterday
dismissed the South Korean rulers' loudmouthed "reconciliation" and
"cooperation" as a jargon full of lies and
deception, noting that it is a clear indication that they are working
recklessly to ignite a war of aggression against the
north, in pursuance of the outsiders' policy.
He continued:
The South Korean warhawks are going to stage large-scale joint military
exercises in a bid to mount a
preemptive attack on the north any time by inviting to Pusan port a U.S.
carrier flotilla comprising a nuclear carrier
of the latest type, aegis cruiser, 3 destroyers and 9 offensive nuclear
submarines under the "operation plan
5027-98," their scenario for a war of aggression.
It is foolhardy of the South Korean rulers to seek a way out in arms
buildup and in the provocation of a new
war.
They should stop the arms buildup and war exercises at once, minding
their P's and Q's about the grave
consequences to be entailed by their brinkmanship.
Japan urged to think twice over consequences
Pyongyang, January 30 (KCNA) -- It was disclosed recently by an
official U.S. document that the Japanese
government allowed U.S. war planes' free sorties from its bases in Japan
during the Vietnam War and approved the
introduction of nuclear weapons into the Japanese territory in 1960.
As regards this disclosure, Rodong Sinmun today in a signed commentary
dismisses this submissive stance of
Japan intended to meet U.S. demands as a very mean behaviour of a country
bereft of even an iota of sovereignty as
an independent state.
What merits a serious attention is that the Japanese government allowed
the U.S. to use its whole territory as the
latter's nuclear base, the commentary notes, and continues: The "three
non-nuclear principles" and "system of prior
consultation" dreamed up by Japan as a shield for preventing the
introduction of nukes were nothing but a
window-dressing for covering up the United States' shipment of its nuclear
weapons.
Recalling that the Japanese reactionaries are getting ever more frantic
in their preparations for reinvasion, still
leaving their territory to the U.S. as its forward nuclear base, the
commentary stresses that this case, however, is
quite different in its nature and objective from the Korean War and the
Vietnam War through which Japan gained
enormous profits.
The real intention of Japan is to directly take part in combat
operations following the U.S. war chariot to occupy
other countries and restore its former colonial empire, the commentary
notes, and goes on:
The DPRK is the first target of Japan's overseas aggression.
The U.S.-Japan computer simulation exercise slated for next month is a
preliminary to a war of aggression
against the DPRK.
Should the Japanese aggressors come in attack on the DPRK in a bid to
realize their ambition for reinvasion, the
people's army and the people of Korea will deal merciless blows to them and
then Japan will be wholly responsible
for the ensuing consequences.
