U.S. State Department working-level delegation to visit DPRK
Pyongyang, May 22 (KCNA) -- The DPRK Foreign Ministry invited a
working-level delegation of the U.S. State
Department to pay additional visit to the underground facility in
Kumchang-ri of Taegwan county, North Phyongan
Province.
The delegation is expected to arrive here tomorrow and visit the
underground facility according to its itinerary.
National ad hoc committee for probing truth behind GIs' massacres formed
Pyongyang, May 22 (KCNA) -- A meeting of working officials of relevant
organizations in the north and south of
Korea and abroad for the formation of the national ad hoc committee for
probing truth behind the GIs' massacres was
held in Beijing on May 10.
The meeting discussed the issue "on the formation of the national ad
hoc committee for probing truth behind the
GIs' massacres."
Ri Yong Il, head of a delegation of the north headquarters of the ad
hoc committee, in his keynote address stressed
that the formation of the committee reflects the will of the fellow
countrymen and the requirements of the history and
put forward the north side's proposal on the duty of the committee, scope
of investigation and its methods.
It was followed by speeches by Ri Tok Jun, delegate of the preparatory
committee of the south headquarters of the
committee, and overseas representatives including Ryu Sang Sik, head of a
delegation of Koreans in Japan.
Noting that the creation of the committee with its objective to rouse
the nation to make concerted efforts to force the
U.S. to pay for all their crimes is related to the issue of defending the
nation's independence and sovereignty and
liquidating the main enemy of the movement for national reunification and
this reflects the will and call of the entire
nation, they expressed full support to the proposal of the north headquarters.
They proposed ways of conducting thorough probe into the U.S.'s crimes
to settle accounts with them, issues of
bringing them to the international war crime tribunal and setting up a
joint working organization to coordinate the work
of the committee, etc.
The "national ad hoc committee for probing truth behind the GIs'
massacres" was formed at the meeting.
They reached a consensus of views on all issues raised.
They laid it down as the mission of the committee to thoroughly probe
on a nationwide scale the truth behind
massacres, plunder and destruction by the U.S. in Korea in the past and
expose them, ferret out all war criminals and
register them on the "book recording U.S. imperialists' crimes to be
punished on behalf of the entire nation," make
public their crimes in the joint name of the three sides and lodge
complaints with international organizations against
these crimes.
A joint resolution of compatriots in the north, south and abroad was
adopted at the meeting.
The resolution called for thoroughly probing the truth behind savage
killings of Koreans by the U.S. aggression
troops, conducting brisk activities to indict criminals on behalf of human
conscience, lodging complaints with
international organizations against their massacres and other crimes and
strongly urging the U.S. government to make
apology and compensation for them.
Three-point charter of Korea's reunification supported
Pyongyang, May 22 (KCNA) -- Ange Andrianarisoa, chairman of the National
Assembly of Madagascar, joined in
the international signature campaign for supporting the three-point charter
of Korea's reunification.
He inked the signature paper in the name of the National Assembly on
May 15.
Suppression of south side's representative condemned
Pyongyang, May 22 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the north headquarters of
the national ad hoc committee for
probing the truth behind the GIs' massacres made public a statement on
Sunday denouncing the South Korean
authorities for arresting on May 15 Ri Tok Jun, who participated in the
meeting held in Beijing as a representative of
the south side to form the committee.
Ri Tok Jun participated in the working-level meeting of the
organizations concerned in the north, south and
overseas to form the national ad hoc committee carrying the earnest desire
and unanimous will of the South Korean
people to probe the truth behind the murderous atrocities committed by
American soldiers and defend national dignity
and sovereignty, the statement said, and went on: His activity was a
praiseworthy patriotic deed.
His arrest is an unpardonable anti-national, anti-reunification action
from the viewpoint of the three principles of
national reunification--independence, peaceful reunification and great
national unity--which were reaffirmed by the
north and south of Korea or human rights and national conscience.
The South Korean authorities are now making investigation, talking
about "meeting and communications" with
someone to punish him on the strength of the notorious "security law."
The South Korean fascist maniacs are mistaken if they think they can
put down the firm will of the people for
independence against the U.S. and the mounting movement for probe into the
truth behind the GIs' mass killings by
force of arms, turning aside from the desire and will of the nation and the
trend of the time.
They should abolish the fascist "security law" which is contrary to the
trend of the time, investigate not Ri Tok Jun
but the GIs' atrocities, bring the criminals to justice and release him
immediately and unconditionally.
Deceptive investigation into bombing in Maehyang-ri rejected
Pyongyang, May 22 (KCNA) -- Inhabitants of Maehyang-ri, Hwasong county,
Kyonggi Province of South
Korea, who had suffered damage from the bombing exercise of the U.S.
aggression forces, categorically rejected the
perfunctory and deceptive investigation into the bombing started by a
"joint investigating team" of the U.S. and South
Korea, a Seoul-based radio reported.
The radio said the U.S. and the South Korean authorities sent a "joint
investigating team" to the scene on May 18,
but the investigation was deliberately conducted in the "direction of
proving that live bombs were not used in the
exercise."
The "investigating team" was not willing to confirm the radioactive
contamination by depleted uranium shells. It
was left with no other option but to admit damage done to the inhabitants,
but took the stand to evade compensation for
it.
In this regard, inhabitants affiliated to the committee of measures for
the compensation for damage done to
inhabitants in Maehyang-ri and the committee of measures against damage
from noise, etc, strongly asserted that the
"investigation" was nothing but a farce for form's sake and the only
solution to the issue is to close the training
ground.
U.S. moves to cover up truth behind Kwangju incident
Pyongyang, May 22 (KCNA) -- The United States allowed military force to
move into Kwangju at the time of the
May 18 Kwangju incident, which was recently made clear again by the
declassified documents, but most part of the
declassified documents was blotted black, said the Munhwa Broadcasting
Corporation of South Korea on May 19.
According to the radio, on May 22, 1980, the day after the fascist
martial army was driven out of Kwangju,
countered by the uprisers, Gleysteen, the then U.S. ambassador to South
Korea, sent a top-secret message to the U.S.
Department of State, in which the U.S. government's views on the issue of
reentrance of the martial army, which was
conveyed to "Chongwadae," was blotted black.
Also erased in the message dated May 23, 1980 was the content of the
talks between the U.S. ambassador and Pak
Chung Hun, the then acting "Prime Minister" of South Korea, allowing "ROK"
army under the control of the U.S.
forces to move into Kwangju.
The content of the talks between the U.S. ambassador and the chief
secretary of "Chongwadae" was erased in the
message dated May 26, just before the general attack of the martial army.
Analysts of secret documents consider that it will take 10 years to
make public the blotted part of the documents to
clarify the U.S. relations to the Kwangju incident, said the radio.
Great leadership for development of national language
Pyongyang, May 22 (KCNA) -- The purity of the national language is
preserved well and the socialist way of
using spoken and written language prevails in the North Korea. This is
thanks to the wise leadership of General
Secretary Kim Jong Il. Prof. and Dr. Jong Sun Gi says this in an article
contributed to Rodong Sinmun today.
The article goes on:
Kim Jong Il authored many famous works such as "On Establishing Juche
In Use of Language", "Let Us Raise
Cultural Level In Use of Language" and "Language and Issue of Nation."
All the works comprehensively elucidate all issues of developing and
enriching the Korean language from an
independent stand such as essence and function of a language, considering a
language in close connection with the
issue of the nation, the fundamental principles and ways to be maintained
in the development of the Korean language.
It is the unshakable stand of Kim Jong Il that a language precisely
means a nation and it is a fundamental principle
to be maintained in successfully solving the issue of the national language
to firmly preserve the Juche character and the
national identity.
The wise leadership provided by him to add shine to the Korean language
lies, above all, in that he has led the
work to firmly preserve the purity of our spoken and written language.
It is Kim Jong Il who clearly indicated an orientation and concrete
ways of widely using the words of the Korean
language characterized by the most distinct national identity, which was
created and has been developed by the nation
generation after generation without being influenced by any other
languages, in order to maintain the purity of the
national language. And it is again he who told the linguists and other
people not to use foreign and Koreanized Chinese
words but use instead polished-up Korean words.
He saw to it that our spoken and written language was developed to be
an effective vehicle genuinely contributing
to the Korean revolution and construction.
He also made sure that a sound and cultural way of using the language
was prevalent throughout the society.
He considered it as an important political work to eliminate remnants
of obsolete ways in the use of language and
establish working-class and popular way in the use of language and has led
all the people to take an active part in the
work with a high degree of ideological awareness, the article concludes.
Anti-U.S. rally held
Pyongyang, May 22 (KCNA) -- More than 500 students under the South
Korean Federation of University Student
Councils held an anti-U.S. rally in Seoul yesterday, according to a radio
report from Seoul.
The students condemned the U.S. air force for its use of depleted
uranium shells in a firing range in Maehyang-ri,
Hwasong county, Kyonggi Province, and held the U.S. accountable for the May
18 Kwangju mass killings.
Chanting slogans "Let us establish national sovereignty by driving the
U.S. troops out of South Korea," they
demanded the withdrawal of the U.S. troops from South Korea and bitterly
denounced the bombing exercise of the
U.S. air force.
Panic-stricken by the anti-U.S. student resistance, the South Korean
authorities hurled at least 4,000 policemen of
40 companies into the area around its venue.
At the end of rally, the students stubbornly clashed with the policemen
for two hours, attempting to enter the U.S.
embassy in Seoul.

crpp condena lanzamiento de bombas de tropas norteamericanas en maehyang
pyongyang, 22 de mayo (atcc) -- el dia 8, las tropas agresoras
norteamericanas ocupantes del sur de corea arrojaron
6 bombas "mk82" de 500 libras para el combate real en un campo de tiros en
el mar frente a la comuna de maehyang,
canton de ujong, distrito de hwasong, provincia de kyonggi y asi dieron
heridas graves a 11 habitantes y averiaron 200
viviendas campesinas de la aldea vecina.
el vocero del comite por la reunificacion pacifica de la patria hizo
publica el dia 20 una declaracion para denunciar
este bombardeo como imperdonable acto criminal contra la paz y la
estabilidad de la peninsula coreana e intolerable
desprecio e insulto a los surcoreanos.
los agresores norteamericanos prepararon en 1955 el campo de tiros con
7.19 millones de phyong (unidad de
superficie equivalente a 3.3058 metros cuadrados) en el area terrestre y
maritima frente a la comuna de maehyang, y
perpetraron alli 60 horas a la semana ejercicios de ametrallamiento y de
lanzamiento de bombas y usaron arbitrariamente
hasta la bomba de uranio con fuego fuerte, senala la declaracion y continua:
el incidente de maehyang vuelve a probar que los agresores
norteamericanos son precisamente los perversos
belicistas y bandidos simpares que no tienen en consideracion el destino y
los intereses de los habitantes surcoreanos.
y enfatizo que los agresores imperialistas yankis son enemigos jurados
de nuestra nacion que deben recibir el
despiadado y severo castigo.
"rodong sinmun" comenta maligna intencion de ee.uu.
pyongyang, 22 de mayo (atcc) -- recientemente, ee.uu. publico el plan
de construir la base de radar en alaska como
un eslabon de la realizacion del proyecto de "defensa de misil del estado".
al mismo tiempo se propone lanzar un satelite de alarma de misil.
coincidiendo con este movimiento la secretaria de estado norteamericana
hablo de acelerar el despliegue del sistema
"defensa de misil" para hacer frente a la "amenaza de misil" de la rpd de
corea.
el diario "rodong sinmun" en un comentario de hoy senala que el pais
que recibe la amenaza no es ee.uu., sino la
rpdc y anade que ee.uu. no tiene ningun pretexto para dar acicate al
despliegue del sistema de "defensa de misil".
a pesar de ello ee.uu. vocifera de acelerar el desarrollo y despliegue
del sistema en cuestion pretextando la
"amenaza" de la rpdc al perseguir la maligna intencion de apoderarse de
armas nucleares y misiles, aventajarse a las
potencias que se pronuncian por la multipolarizacion del mundo y lograr la
estrategia del "mundo unipolar" y de
hegemonia mundial, senala el comentario.
el comentario se refiere a que rusia, china y otros paises europeos se
oponen a dicho sistema de ee.uu. y senala
que la teoria "amenaza de misil" de la rpdc es el escudo de que se vale
ee.uu. para aventajarse a rusia, china y otras
potencias y lograr la estrategia de hegemonia mundial a traves del
establecimiento del sistema de "defensa de misil".
ee.uu. debe conocer claramente que la "amenaza de misil" de la rpdc no
puede servir de pretexto ni de objeto de
regateo, subraya el comentario.
