Greetings to Ethiopian President
Pyongyang, May 29 (KCNA) -- Kim Yong Nam, President of the presidium of
the Supreme People's Assembly
of the DPRK, sent a message of greetings to Negasso Gidada, President of
the Federal Democratic Republic of
Ethiopia, on May 26 on the occasion of its 9th National Day.
The message sent warm congratulations to the President, government and
people of Ethiopia on its 9th National
Day.
Expressing the belief that the good relations of friendship and
cooperation between the two countries will expand
and develop further, the message wished the President and people of
Ethiopia success in their work for peace and
prosperity of the country.
Closure of U.S. air-force firing range urged
Pyongyang, May 29 (KCNA) -- The people's movement for the revision of
the shackling "ROK-U.S. status of
forces agreement" waged an anti-American struggle on May 27 with the
anti-American sentiments daily growing
among the South Korean people, according to a radio report from Seoul.
The movement held a rally at Kwanghwa gate in Seoul and strongly
demanded that the "ROK-U.S. status of
forces agreement" full of inequitable articles be revised at once and the
U.S. air-force firing range in Maehyang-ri be
closed down immediately.
The organisation marched in streets after the rally.
Housewives called out to military drill
Pyongyang, May 29 (KCNA) -- The South Korean ruling quarters called a
group of housewives out to a military
drill at a training ground of the 39th division of the "ROK army" stationed
in Changwon, South Kyongsang Province,
on May 25, according to a radio report from Seoul. The housewives in the
thirties-fifties were trained in firing "M-16"
rifles and providing against chemical, biological and radioactive warfare.
Meanwhile, the ruling quarters expanded the scope of drafting women for
the "homeland defense reserve forces."
The warhawks got over-heated in anti-communist propaganda, saying the
"national security makes no exceptions
of housewives."
Mun Kyu Hyon sentenced for violating "Security Law"
Pyongyang, May 29 (KCNA) -- The South Korean authorities brought father
Mun Kyu Hyon of the South
Korean Catholic Priests' Council for Justice to trial at the Seoul district
court on May 26 and sentenced him to two
years' imprisonment and suspension of qualification and three years' stay
of execution on charges of violating the
"Security Law," according to a report.
Father Mun Kyu Hyon visited Pyongyang in August two years ago with an
official approval of the authorities and
participated in the August 15 Grand Festival For Reunification, for which
he was arrested on charges of violating the
"Security Law," but the ruling quarters had failed to inflict a penalty on
him because of the justness of his activities and
public pressure.
Their recent pronouncement of sentence upon him betrays their
traitorous nature by throwing a wet blanket over
the mounting movement of people for peaceful reunification.
"Military diplomacy" to justify war moves against north
Pyongyang, May 29 (KCNA) -- The South Korean "Ministry of National
Defense" announced on May 25 that it
decided to drastically increase the number of military attaches to be
dispatched to "embassies" overseas, and double the
number of military attaches of general level from autumn this year
allegedly to intensify "military diplomacy,"
according to a news report from Seoul.
This is aimed not at intensifying "military diplomacy" but at stepping
up criminal moves to justify the war moves
against the north.
The South Korean authorities are resorting to all sorts of smear
propaganda to cover up their crime of igniting the
Korean War together with the U.S. masters 50 years ago, while scheming to
protract it at home and abroad.
The move to intensify "military diplomacy" is part of the schemes.
Agreement on cooperation in post and telecommunications signed
Beijing, May 27 (KCNA) -- An agreement was signed in Beijing on May 26
to develop cooperation in post and
telecommunications between the Ministry of Post and Telecommunications of
the DPRK and the State Post Bureau of
the People's Republic of China.
It was signed by vice-Minister of Post and Telecommunications of the
DPRK Maeng Hak Sop, who is heading the
ministry delegation, and director of the State Post Bureau of the PRC Liu
Liqing.
U.S. urged to be discreet
Pyongyang, May 29 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun today in a signed commentary
slams the U.S. military for
deploying two B-1 strategic bombers in a U.S. air-force base in South Korea.
The commentary says:
The U.S. warhawks' deployment of these strategic bombers in South Korea
at a time when the desire for
reconciliation between the north and south and national reunification is
growing stronger is a move to escalate tensions,
increase the danger of war and throw a wet blanket over the inter-Korean talks.
Recalling that the U.S. deliberately rendered the situation on the
Korean peninsula tenser and opted for harassing
peace whenever there were a mounting movement for reunification and any
sign of reconciliation on the peninsula, the
commentary describes the latest arms buildup as part of such moves.
The U.S. should stop all military actions against the DPRK if it truly
wishes peace on the Korean peninsula and
improved inter-Korean relations, the commentary holds, and stresses: The
introduction of such war means as nuclear
bombers in utter disregard of those issues would only complicate the
situation and throw obstacles in the way of
improving the ties between the DPRK and the U.S. and the inter-Korean
relations as it is a serious move against
reunification and peace.
The U.S. action is a wanton violation of the DPRK-U.S. agreed
framework, it says, adding:
If the U.S. continue to react to our efforts for peace with military
provocations, it will only worsen bilateral
relations and push the situation on the Korean peninsula to an extremely
dangerous phase. The U.S. warhawks are
well advised to behave with discretion, pondering over the grave
consequences to be entailed by their reckless moves
to start a nuclear war against the DPRK, the commentary warns.
Ultrasound motor developed in DPRK
Pyongyang, May 29 (KCNA) -- Ultrasound motors were developed by
researchers of the physics faculty of Kim
Il Sung University.
Materials capable of producing ultrasound vibration with small
consumption of electricity used in motors
significantly increase the rotation speed.
Unlike an old motor which has a stator, a rotor and copper wire, the
ultrasound motor is made with a few
well-calculated special plates.
This new type of motor consumes only one thousandth of electricity done
by the old motor with the same capacity
and is as small as one hundredth of it.
The research into this ultra-modern science and technology proved
successful two years back. Its success will be
introduced into industrial establishments across the country before long.
Some establishments use this type motors, while cutting down the
production cost almost 20 times.
Scientists foresee that this type motor will be in wide use in the 21st
century.
Egyptian political party condemns massacre by U.S. troops
Pyongyang, May 29 (KCNA) -- The Misr Fatat Party of Egypt made public a
statement on May 22, condemning
the U.S. troops' massacres of Koreans during the Korean War (1950-1953).
During the last Korean War the U.S. troops killed peaceable people and
prisoners of war by various methods in all
parts of Korea and used bacteriological and chemical weapons, said the
statement.
It denounced the massacres without precedent in the history of war as
the most grave violation of the international
law and war regulations.
The statement strongly held that the United States should make an
official apology and adequate compensation to
the Korean people for them and strictly investigate and severely punish
those who organised or participated in mass
killings.
Leader's great attention to songs
Pyongyang, May 29 (KCNA) -- The DPRK is rich in songs as it overcomes
difficulties thanks to revolutionary
songs.
It is a tradition for the Korean people to start the nation's cause for
independence and advance it, singing songs.
The Korean people got single-heartedly united around their leader,
loudly singing immortal revolutionary songs
"Star of Korea" at the dawn of the Korean revolution, and crushed the
Japanese imperialists and achieved Korea's
liberation, singing at the top of their voices songs "Nostalgia" and "Song
of Anti-Japanese War."
Such songs as "Song of Plowing," "May, Month of Victory," "To the Road
of Decisive Battle" and "My Song In
Trench" powerfully encouraged the people and the soldiers of the DPRK in
the efforts to build a new country and the
battles to defend the country during the war.
General Secretary Kim Jong Il considers songs as important as ideology
and arms in leading the people's cause of
independence. This is an outstanding leadership art.
In his young days, he said he loved music more than anything else. He
has steered the revolution, regarding songs
as indispensable means for carrying out its cause.
A solemn oath taken to the country and nation was manifested in his
song "Korea, I Will Glorify Thee."
His idea and will are reflected in songs. He has turned misfortune into
a blessing, unfavorable circumstances into
favourable circumstances by means of songs with a strong appeal.
When the whole country was in deep grief over the demise of President
Kim Il Sung, Kim Jong Il provided the
people with the song "We Pledge" which represents their determination to
make the country rich and strong true to the
behest of the President, thus instilling redoubled strength and courage
into them.
It was such songs of faith and struggle as "Let Us Hold High the Red
Flag" and "We Began On Ruins" that
inspired the Korean people to rise up with an indomitable will to foil the
imperialist forces' moves for isolation and
suffocation and overcome repeated natural disasters.
Kim Jong Il has faithfully fulfilled his responsibility and duty before
the country and the nation, singing or
listening to such songs as "Song of Comradeship," "We Have Waited For You"
and "Don't Advance, Night of
Pyongyang" in each difficult and hard time.
He has shown such loving care for workers, farmers, intellectuals and
soldiers as presenting tape recorders and
cassettes to them. This reflects his noble intention to make all the Korean
people optimistic.
The Korean people will surely build a powerful nation under the
leadership of Kim Jong Il who leads the country
and the nation to victory by the strength of songs.
Profound care for younger generation in Korea praised
Pyongyang, May 29 (KCNA) -- A recent issue of the Mexican newspaper
Combatiente specially edited a photo of
General Secretary Kim Jong Il in his office on the occasion of the 36th
anniversary of the start of his work at the
Central Committee of the Worker's Party of Korea and an article titled
"Korea With Rosy Future."
In the DPRK the younger generation is treated as flowers of the country
and the nation and given prominence as a
future master of society and successor to its builders, the article said,
and went on:
President Kim Il Sung called children "kings" of the country. Best
things have been preferentially given to the
younger generation and profound care shown for their education and upbringing.
The universal eleven-year compulsory education has long been in force
and various extracurricular education
centers including the Mangyongdae Schoolchildren's Palace are found in
different parts of the country.
The younger generation in the DPRK should be called the most blessed
youngsters in the world and it has,
therefore, a rosy future.
Pyongyang Circus leaves for S. Korea
Pyongyang, May 29 (KCNA) -- The Pyongyang Circus led by Kim Yu Sik left
here for South Korea this
morning.
The circus was seen off at the airport by Minister of Culture Kang Nung
Su, officials concerned and artistes.
For Spanish-speaking people
rpdc: motor de ultrasonido
pyongyang, 29 de mayo (atcc) -- los investigadores de la facultad de
fisica de la universidad kim il sung de la
republica popular democratica de corea explotaron el motor de ultrasonido
que se aplica en varios sectores de la
economia nacional.
el motor asegura la gran revolucion valiendose de poca corriente
electrica y la materia de vibracion de ultrasonido.
dispone solo de unas planchas bien calculadas, pero no de estator,
rotor, alambres de cobre, etc. de que dispone el
motor anterior.
consume la electricidad de la milesima parte y tiene volumen de la
centesima parte con respecto al motor anterior de
la misma capacidad.
algunas unidades reducen casi 20 veces el costo al utilizarlo.
los cientificos estiman que este motor ultramoderno se utilizara
ampliamente en el siglo 21.
autoridades surcoreanas contravienen a dialogo con norcorea
pyongyang, 29 de mayo (atcc) -- el "ministro de defensa nacional" de
sudcorea jo song thae visito al japon del 20
al 24 del mes en curso.
en las conversaciones con el director de la agencia de defensa del
japon hablo de "elevar la vigilancia sobre
norcorea, sin consideracion a las conversaciones de nivel supremo norte-sur
de corea y de que el japon, ee.uu. y
sudcorea se mantengan vinculados estrechamente para hacer una reaccion
conjunta".
acuso a la rpdc de su "asunto de misiles" y de supuestas armas
bioquimicas y vocifero de frecuentar el
"intercambio y la cooperacion" entre las capas militares de sudcorea y el
japon.
esto es un imperdonable acto que contraviene al ambiente de la
reconciliacion y unidad entre el norte y el sur de
corea y desafia a su interlocutor del dialogo.
hacemos todos los esfuerzos sinceros por que el dialogo norte-sur de
corea preparado a costa de tantos esfuerzos
logre grandes exitos conforme a la gran esperanza de la nacion.
si las autoridades surcoreanas tienen interes en el dialogo y la
reunificacion deben dejar de afectar el ambiente del
dialogo.
pero ellas, a traves de tal peroracion de jo song thae hecha en el
japon volvieron a revelar la posicion de
enfrentamieto con la rpdc. originalmente jo song thae es un perverso
opositor a la rpdc.
desde el momento de la publicacion del acuerdo norte-sur este sujeto no
ceso de proferir las palabras irritantes a la
rpdc y contrarias al ambiente del dialogo.
tambien el pasado dia 24 de abril suplico al embajador de ee.uu. en
sudcorea y al comandante de las tropas
norteamericanas ocupantes de esta y otros la "estrecha cooperacion en torno
a las conversaciones y otro cambio de la
situacion" y la "cooperacion antinorcoreana". se reunio reiteradamente con
los cabecillas militares y en esas ocasiones
peroro del "producto de la politica de compromiso con norcorea" y de que "
el ejercito debe apoyar con la gran fuerza la
politica del gobierno".
su peroracion hecha en el japon es la manifestacion de su posicion de
oposicion al dialogo y la reunificacion.
si las autoridades surcoreanas desean verdaderamente la mejora de sus
relaciones con norcorea y la paz y la
reunificacion no deben repetir tales actos de los elementos
ultraderechistas como jo song thae sino juzgar correctamente
nuestra magnanimidad.
al tomar el camino de la confrontacion con su interlocutor del dialogo,
deberan asumir la entera responsabilidad de
todas las consecuencias que emanen de ello.
observaremos con alta vigilancia las acciones posteriores de las
autoridades surcoreanas.
