Reception given for Yugoslav Foreign Minister
Pyongyang, February 27 (KCNA) -- The DPRK Foreign Ministry gave a
reception for the Foreign Minister of
the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and his party on a visit to Korea at the
Mansudae Assembly Hall yesterday.
DPRK Foreign Minister Paek Nam Sun in his speech said that Korea visit
of the Yugoslav Foreign Minister and
his party will mark a significant occasion in expanding and developing the
excellent friendly relations between the
two peoples to a new higher stage.
Stressing that the friendly and cooperative relations between the two
countries whose firm foundation was laid
by the great leader Kim Il Sung are now growing stronger and developing
under the particular care of the great
leader Kim Jong Il, he said:
The DPRK will, in the future, too, make every possible effort to
further consolidate and develop these
traditional relations in keeping with the demands of the present developing
situation.
Yugoslav Foreign Minister Zivadin Jovanovic in his speech said that the
Yugoslav leadership and people highly
appreciate the DPRK leadership and people for having condemned the
interference, pressure and aggressive
maneuvers of foreign forces against Yugoslavia and supported it in the
United Nations and the non-aligned
movement.
He said that Yugoslavia expresses full support to the Korean people in
their struggle to reunify the country
independently and peacefully, true to the ten-point programme of the great
unity of the whole nation for national
reunification set forth by Kim Il Sung and the five-point policy of great
national unity advanced by Kim Jong Il.
He expressed the belief that the relations between the two countries
would further expand and develop in
political, economic, cultural and other fields.
GI's killing spree condemned
Pyongyang, February 27 (KCNA) -- A spokeswoman for the central
committee of the Korean Democratic
Women's Union issued a statement on Feb. 26 to bitterly denounce, in the
name of all the Korean women, the U.S.
aggressors for inflicting innumerable disasters and sacrifice on the South
Korean women.
The recent murder of a South Korean woman by a gi is an unbearable
insult to the Korean women, the
statement says, and goes on:
Today the human rights and dignity of the South Korean women are
trampled underfoot and they are
undergoing hardships because they are put under the yoke of the U.S.
colonial subjugation and yankees who are
obsessed with abnormality, sexual urge and immorality and depravity
consider them playthings for dissipation.
Realities show that as long as the U.S. and the South Korean
authorities subservient to them still remain in
South Korea, the South Korean people including women cannot emerge from
misfortune and pain and all sorts of
crimes of yankees will go on.
All the women in the northern half of Korea will always extend full
support to the South Korean women and
other people in their just struggle to retake the sovereignty of the nation
and the dignity of the women.
"Catholic solidarity for general elections" formed
Pyongyang, February 27 (KCNA) -- The "Catholic solidarity for general
elections" was reportedly formed in
South Korea on Feb. 23 at a time when the struggle of the people from all
walks of life against the corrupt and
incompetent rulers is gaining momentum with the National Assembly elections
at hand.
35 catholic organizations across South Korea, including the "National
Catholic Alliance for Justice" and the
South Korean Catholic Priests' Council for Justice, held a press conference
in Seoul that day, at which they
expressed their vow to struggle in the teeth of the authorities'
suppression, saying that they would conduct an
anti-candidate campaign for a "political reform."
They stressed that they would oppose such reactionary laws as the "law
on political relations" which suppresses
the political rights of the people and conduct a campaign to let
politicians rejected by civic organizations resign of
their own accord.
S. Korean authorities urged to abandon "engagement policy"
Pyongyang, February 27 (KCNA) -- A top-ranking official of the "Ministry
of National Unification" of South
Korea at a "seminar on unification policy" said that "engagement policy" is
the "policy of strength" based on military
force, with clamoring about "target of the policy of engagement toward the
north" and someone's "change" and
"opening."
In commenting on his remarks Rodong Sinmun today says:
His remarks betray a criminal design for "unification by the invasion
of the north." For the South Korean
authorities to "induce" someone into anywhere through the "engagement
policy" is a foolish attempt.
Any "change" wanted by them will never happen in the North Korea. If
anything, it will be vigorous progress
and great victory of the anthropocentric socialism of Juche to make them
shudder.
The remarks prove that the "engagement policy" is a policy of
confrontation and war to militarily stifle the north
in conspiracy with outsiders.
We warn again the South Korean authorities not to seek a foolish
attempt any longer.
They are well advised to throw the "engagement policy" already
condemned by the world into a trash basket.
Japanese reactionaries hit for spreading fiction of "nuclear threat"
Pyongyang, February 27 (KCNA) -- The Japanese reactionaries are
clamoring about "nuclear threat" from the
DPRK, spreading rumour that the DPRK is a source of grave "nuclear threat."
the anti-DPRK smear campaign
comes under fire in Rodong Sinmun today.
The news analyst says:
Leader of the Japan Liberal Party Ozawa, who visited South Korea
shortly ago, asserted that a "resolute attitude
should be taken" toward the "nuclear development" by North Korea and the
chairman of the policy research council
of the Japan Liberal Democratic Party demanded that the DPRK-U.S. talks
deal with "threat" to Japan by missile
"Rodong 1."
It is a folly for them to raise a hue and cry over "missile threat"
from the DPRK which has no "nuclear
suspicion."
The Japanese reactionaries have introduced, produced and stockpiled a
large amount of plutonium for the
production of nuclear weapons and squandered a colossal amount of money on
nuclear arming every year. Japan is,
indeed, a sensitive hotbed of nuclear war.
In talking about "nuclear issue" of the DPRK the Japanese reactionaries
betray militaristic nature and quality of
aggression and vaulting ambition to become the leader of Asia.
Efforts for the nuclear weaponization and re-conquest will only
precipitate their destruction.
They should be mindful of this.
Ukrainian national seminar on Juche idea held
Pyongyang, February 27 (KCNA) -- The Ukrainian national seminar on the
Juche idea under the subject "Juche
idea, idea of 21st century" was held in Kiev on Feb. 19 on the occasion of
the 58th birthday of General Secretary
Kim Jong Il.
It was stressed at the seminar that they are faced with a historic task
to rebuild socialism and build a free and
prosperous, new Ukraine on the basis of the Juche idea, the great guiding
idea of the 21st century, and that an idea
indicating the road to be followed by the socialist movement is the great
Juche idea, a scientific doctrine for realizing
independence of the popular masses.
The seminar analyzed a historic lesson of the socialist movement in
Ukraine and expressed the determination to
triumphantly advance the movement without deviation by maintaining the
independent stand and the creative stand.
A declaration "invincible is socialist movement advancing under the
banner of the Juche idea" was adopted at
the seminar.
The collapse of socialism in the former Soviet Union and other east
European countries is a heart-rending loss
of the socialist movement but it does not mean the "end of socialism", the
declaration said, stressing:
Socialism still remains alive in the hearts of the people and is
pulsating dynamically.
The great Juche idea is a banner of victory of the socialist movement
in our era and the Juche-based theory on
socialism gives flawless scientific answers to all the theoretical and
practical problems arising in the socialist
movement at present.
We are firmly convinced that the Juche idea and the Juche-based theory
on socialism are, indeed, the most
correct idea and theory which confidently guarantee the victory of the
movement for rebuilding socialism in Ukraine
at present.
We will deeply study the Juche idea and widely disseminate it and thus
make the people have it as their faith and
build socialism as demanded by it.
We staunchly oppose the moves of the imperialists and reactionaries to
isolate and stifle socialism of Korea and
extend full support and solidarity to the Korean people in their struggle
to build a powerful nation of Juche and
reunify the country.
A letter to the respected Kim Jong Il was adopted at the seminar.
The letter said that a new century which will pass under the banner of
the immortal Juche idea will shine with
the immortal feats of Kim Jong Il who is carrying forward to completion the
revolutionary cause started by President
Kim Il Sung, the great leader in the present era.
You have invariably maintained the staunch spirit of independence
against imperialism and the revolutionary
principle and set the brilliant example of internationalism in the struggle
for global independence, thus enjoying deep
trust and respect from the Ukrainian people and the progressive people of
all countries, the letter said.
It stressed his great feats would be cherished deep in the mind of
humankind.
