High-ranking military delegation of China leaves
Pyongyang, October 26 (KCNA) -- The high-ranking military delegation of the
People's Republic of China
headed by colonel general Chi Haotian, vice-chairman of the Central
Military Commission of the PRC, state
councilor and Minister of National Defence, left for home today by plane
after visiting the DPRK.
It was seen off at the airport by vice marshal of the Korean People's
Army Kim Il Chol, vice-chairman of
the National Defence Commission of the DPRK and Minister of the People's
Armed Forces, KPA generals
and officers, Chinese ambassador to the DPRK Wang Guozhang and military
attache of the Chinese embassy
here Yan Jiangfeng.
A farewell ceremony took place at the airport.
Gift to Kim Jong Il from British party delegation
Pyongyang, October 26 (KCNA) -- General Secretary Kim Jong Il received
a gift from the new
Communist Party of Great Britain.
The gift was handed to an official concerned by Andy Brooks, general
secretary of the party who is
leading the delegation of the party on a visit to the DPRK.
U.S. and S. Korean authorities hit for joint military maneuvers
Pyongyang, October 26 (KCNA) -- The spokesman for the Foreign Ministry
of the Democratic People's
Republic of Korea today answered a question put by KCNA as regards "2000
Foal Eagle" joint military
maneuvers of the U.S. and the South Korean authorities.
The U.S. and the South Korean authorities began "2000 Foal Eagle" joint
military maneuvers against the
DPRK in Seoul and other parts of South Korea on October 25.
The spokesman said:
Recently the DPRK and the U.S. published a joint communique declaring
that neither side will have
hostile intent toward the other side, high-level visits are made to improve
the bilateral relations and contacts
and negotiations between the military authorities of the north and south
are under way in the wake of dramatic
changes in the relations between the two sides.
The large-scale joint military maneuvers that began against this
backdrop is an open challenge to the
dialogue partner. It is as good as spoiling the good atmosphere created in
favor of reconciliation and
cooperation.
The maneuvers proves that the U.S. is still pursuing the policy of
"strength" in its strategy towards the
DPRK and that the South Korean authorities are following with increased
zeal the U.S. strategy, instead of
implementing the north-south joint declaration which calls on the nation to
solve problems by itself.
The 1992 talks which were arranged with so much effort for the
implementation of the north-south
agreement broke down owing to such joint military maneuvers.
The U.S. and South Korean war hawks should act with discretion.
Film show for Cuban embassy officials
Pyongyang, October 26 (KCNA) -- The international department of the
Central Committee of the
Worker's Party of Korea arranged a film show in Pyongyang yesterday for the
officials of the Cuban
embassy here on the occasion of the 11th anniversary of the publication of
General Secretary Kim Jong Il's
work "Answers to Questions Raised by the General Director of Granma, the
Organ of the Central Committee
of the Communist Party of Cuba".
Invited there were Cuban ambassador Jose Manuel Inclan Embade and
embassy officials.
Present were Pak Kyong Son, vice department director of the WPK Central
Committee, and officials
concerned.
The participants saw a Korean documentary film "Fascinated by Great
Personality".
Chinese high-ranking military delegation visits Fatherland Liberation War
Museum
Pyongyang, October 26 (KCNA) -- The high-ranking military delegation of
the People's Republic of
China headed by colonel general Chi Haotian, vice-chairman of the Central
Military Commission of the PRC,
state councilor and Minister of National Defence, visited the victorious
Fatherland Liberation War Museum
yesterday.
The guests were briefed on the fact that the Korean people and people's
army defeated the allied forces of
the imperialists in the Fatherland Liberation War and honorably defended
the sovereignty of the country and
the dignity of the nation.
They went round rooms of the Chinese people's volunteers wing which
show the noble internationalist
spirit, lofty friendship and heroic feats of the CPV fighters.
They were accompanied by KPA vice marshal Kim Il Chol, vice-chairman of
the National Defence
Commission of the DPRK and Minister of the People's Armed Forces, generals
and officers of the KPA,
Chinese ambassador to the DPRK Wang Guozhang and military attache Yan
Jiangfeng of the Chinese
embassy here.
At the end of the visit the head of the delegation made an entry in the
visitor's book.
Then the guests met with heroes and heroines of the DPRK.
Three-point charter for Korea's reunification supported
Pyongyang, October 26 (KCNA) -- Ryu Yon Chol, an unconverted long-term
prisoner, made public a
note "fatherly leader Kim Il Sung and the respected leader Kim Jong Il are
saviors of my life."
He in his note said that it was entirely thanks to Kim Il Sung and Kim
Jong Il that he could survive
nearly 30 years of horrible prison life.
Noting that as Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il taught them the
revolutionary philosophy that the political
integrity is more precious than anything else the unconverted long-term
prisoners could emerge as men of
strong faith and will before law enforcement agents armed to the teeth, he
said this philosophy served as a
source of inspiration which helped them physically survive many years of
prison life.
He continued:
Life in a solitary cell was more unbearable than what one felt when his
flesh was cut off and his bone
knifed. But I overcame it as I was swayed by the thought of the benevolence
of Kim Il Sung who enabled me
to devote myself to the homeland as an independent man.
The 1990s was another unexpected period of ordeals for the unconverted
long-term prisoners, but we
were neither frustrated nor disappointed because we got an inspiration from
Kim Jong Il who remained true
to Kim Il Sung's will.
It was the firm belief of the unconverted long-term prisoners that Kim
Jong Il would bring them back to
the motherland at any cost.
Grand gathering in Beijing commemorates anniversary of CPV
Pyongyang, October 26 (KCNA) -- Jose Francisco Aguilar, chairman of the
Latin American Institute of
the Juche Idea, Ernesto Rodriguez, chairman of the Costa Rican Committee

Reunification, Guillermo Arguedas, chairman of the Costa Rica-Korea
Institute of Friendship and Culture,
and Mario Leon, director of the Costa Rican Institute for the Study of the

Korea's reunification. They signed the

Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il, saviors of life
Beijing, October 25 (KCNA) -- A grand gathering was held at the great
hall of the people in Beijing
today on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Chinese People's
Volunteers' entry into the Korean
front.
Present there were Jiang Zemin, general secretary of the central
committee of the Communist Party of
China, President of the People's Republic of China and chairman of the
Central Military Commission of the
PRC, Li Peng, chairman of the standing committee of the National People's
Congress of the PRC, Zhu
Rongji, premier of the State Council of the PRC, Li Ruihuan, chairman of
the national committee of the
Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Hu Jintao,
vice-president of the PRC, Li Lanqing,
vice-premier of the State Council of the PRC, senior party, state and army
officials of China and at least
6,000 personages from all walks of life.
Speeches were made by veterans of the former Chinese People's
Volunteers, figures of democratic
groups and the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, independent
figures and representatives of
mass organizations and of Beijing.
Jiang Zemin spoke at the gathering. The Chinese People's Volunteers,
which was made up of excellent
sons and daughters of China before 50 years ago, crossed the Yalu River
under the banner of justice to
defend peace and resist aggression and fought shoulder to shoulder with the
Korean People's Army, thus
achieving a great victory in the life and death battles that lasted for two
years and nine months, he said, and
continued:
The victory in the war to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea was a
great victory of the peace-loving
people of the world and a heroic feat to defend justice and fight against
hegemonies.
It was a splendid epic of patriotism and revolutionary heroism and a
grand monument built by the
Chinese people in maintaining world peace and human progress.
Under the leadership of Kim Il Sung and the Worker's Party of Korea the
heroic Korean people
indomitably fought against the formidable enemy, winning respect from the
peoples of China and the rest of
the world.
The Korean government and people took care of the Chinese volunteers,
loved and sincerely helped
them. The two peoples and armies sealed great militant friendship with
blood, sharing weal and woe.
Referring to the exploits made by the Chinese people's volunteers and
their spirit of fortitude during the
Korean War, Jiang Zemin said the CPV fought for peace and justice and
demonstrated the national and
military power of new China in the war of resisting America and aiding Korea.
It was quite a just and grand feat that the CPV defended peace and
fought against aggression through its
operations conducted after leaving the country.
Tens of thousands of excellent sons and daughters of China laid down
their precious lives for the sake of
world peace and justice and independence and freedom of the Korean people.
The victory in the Korean war greatly encouraged the oppressed and
exploited people in their just
struggle to achieve liberation, he said, adding this provided good
conditions for the socialist revolution and
construction in the two countries and gave great impetus to the conviction
and enthusiasm of all nationalities
and people of the country who built new China.
We commemorate the victory of the war to resist U.S. and aid Korea,
observing and reviewing it in the
light of history and reality, just in an effort to better promote the lofty
cause of the world peace and human
progress, Jiang Zemin stressed.
The commemoration of this victory of the war is aimed to learn from the
noble spirit and great traits
displayed by all the Chinese People's Volunteers, let the Chinese give full
play to patriotism and
revolutionary heroism, step up the party building in all aspects in keeping
with "requirements of three
delegates" and assiduously carry out all the work of the party and state,
he noted.

Pyongyang, October 26 (KCNA) -- Radaherison Alfonce secretary general
of the Madagascar-Korea
Friendship and Solidarity Committee, issued a statement on Oct. 17 on the
occasion of the 20th anniversary
of the publication of the proposal for founding the Democratic Federal
Republic of Koryo (DFRK).
In the statement he reaffirmed firm support and solidarity with the
proposal for founding the DFRK
advanced by the President Kim Il Sung.
It was the desire of Kim Il Sung in his lifetime to hand a reunified
country over to posterity, he said, and
noted:
The great leader Kim Jong Il is wisely leading the movement for
reunification with his steadfast resolve
and will to reunify the country by carrying into practice the proposal for
reunification through federacy.
Referring to the recent positive changes on the Korean peninsula, he
expressed the belief that a broad a
