Its new plan envisages the deployment of air refuelling tankers, "F-2" fighters and other new type combat equipment, the formation of new divisions of the ground "Self-Defence Force," the creation of special forces and the possession of biological and chemical war capabilities. While going ahead with nuclear weaponization, Japan is getting more zealously involved in the us moves to establish the dangerous "Theatre Missile Defense" system. This is a clear indication that the Japanese reactionaries are very busy preparing themselves for reinvasion in a bid to realize their old dream of "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere," the commentary notes, and goes on: Japan has become one of the world's leading military powers through the implementation of a series of arms buildup plans. Having got ready for a war militarily, economically and politically, the Japanese reactionaries are now only watching for a chance of going into action for overseas aggression. Precisely for this reason they are calling for "coping with emergencies in areas surrounding Japan." Under this pretext they seek to use forces in vast areas of Asia to put them under their military control and domination. The Korean peninsula is made their immediate target. Their attempt to launch re-conquest to revive their old empire is little short of a suicide, warns the commentary. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Abolition of "Security Law" urged in S. Korea Pyongyang, January 6 (KCNA) -- The South Korean newspaper Choongang Ilbo (internet) on Wednesday carried an article headlined "90 percent of Kwangju citizens support abolition of the 'Security Law'".

This means that nine of every ten citizens demanded the repeal of the "law." The federation said that the evil law should be abrogated at an early date as the opinion of citizens was unanimous. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Film show on 45th anniversary of Sudanese Independence Pyongyang, January 6 (KCNA) -- A film show was held here yesterday under the sponsorship of the DPRK-Sudan Friendship Association on the occasion of the 45th anniversary of Sudanese Independence. Present there were vice-Minister of Culture Song Sok Hwan who is chairman of the DPRK-Sudan Friendship Association, members of the association and working people in the city.

At the meeting, speakers referred to the great achievements made by the Korean people in building a powerful socialist country and in foreign relations last year under the wise guidance of leader Kim Jong Il.

They vowed to conduct an extensive movement for solidarity with the Korean people and carry on the study and dissemination of the Juche idea in depth from the first year of the new century. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ National reunification is sure to come true Pyongyang, January 6 (KCNA) -- All the Koreans in the north, south and abroad should join a nationwide struggle to implement the June 15 north-south joint declaration, transcending differences in ideology, social system, political view and religious belief as demanded by the joint new year editorial. Rodong Sinmun today says this in a signed article. The article goes on: In order to implement the declaration to the letter, all the Korean people responsible for the issue of the country's reunification should pool their efforts for its independent settlement. All the fellow countrymen at home and abroad supporting the declaration should push ahead with the struggle to carry it into practice in firm unity. The developments in the wake of the historic Pyongyang meeting and the adoption of the declaration prove that when the Koreans join hands to pool their efforts, they can do anything and achieve the national reconciliation and unity and reunify the country by themselves. We will honor the declaration, handle it in good faith and invariably work hard to implement it until the country is reunified. We will join hands with those who support the declaration and want to implement it, be they in authority or civilians or politicians or businessmen or men of culture and in the north, or in the south, or overseas, to open the door of reunification. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ For Spanish-speaking people ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ los coreanos deben unirse para lograr reunificacion pyongyang, 6 de enero (atcc) -- el diario "rodong sinmun" inserto en el numero de hoy un articulo senalando que todos los coreanos en el norte, el sur y en el ultramar segun la exhortacion del editorial conjunto de este ano deben incorporarse a la lucha nacional por materializar la declaracion conjunta norte-sur por encima de las diferencias de idea, regimen, criterio politico y creencia religiosa. el articulo continua: a fin de ejecutar cabalmente la declaracion conjunta norte-sur del 15 de junio es preciso mantener con firmeza el principio de lograr de manera independiente la reunificacion del pais con las fuerzas unidas de los coreanos que son duenos de este problema. todos los coreanos en el pais y el extranjero que apoyan la declaracion conjunta deben unirse firmemente para desplegar con energia en un movimiento de toda la nacion la lucha por cumplirla. la evolucion de la situacion posterior al historico encuentro de pyongyang y la publicacion de la declaracion conjunta norte-sur demuestra que la nacion coreana al juntar sus fuerzas no tendra nada irrealizable sino con toda seguridad por cuenta propia podra lograr reconciliacion y unidad y realizar la reunificacion de la patria. trataremos con respeto y lealtad la declaracion conjunta y nos esforzaremos invariablemente por ejecutarla, hasta aquel dia en que se realice la reunificacion de la patira, senala el articulo. para abrir la puerta de la reunificacion de la patria nos uniremos firmemente con todas las personas quienes apoyan la declaracion conjunta norte-sur y aspiran a llevarla a la practica independientemente de que sean las autoridades, los civiles, los politicos, los economistas y los hombres de cultura y no importa donde residan: en el norte o el sur de corea o en el ultramar. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ vana ilusion de japon pyongyang, 6 de enero (atcc) -- el diario "rodong sinmun" en un comentario de hoy advierte que llegan a la etapa muy temeraria las maquinaciones de los reaccionarios japoneses encaminadas a realizar su antiguo sueno de la "esfera de coprosperidad de la gran asia oriental". el comentario senala: recientemente la reunion de la seguridad estatal y la sesion del gabinete del gobierno japones aprobaron oficialmente el "plan de arreglo del poderio defensivo de medio plazo" para los 5 anos a partir del 2001 y decidieron destinar para ello 25 billones 160 mil millones de yenes, es decir 930 mil millones de yenes mas que el plan anterior. durante el periodo del nuevo plan el gobierno japones se propone emplazar los aviones nodriza, cazas "f-2" y otros armamentos de tipo nuevo, formar las nuevas divisiones de las "fuerzas de autodefensa" terrestres, crear las fuerzas armadas especiales y poseer la capacidad de cumplir la guerra bioquimica. el japon acelera su armamento nuclear y se entrega febrilmente al complot dirigido a establecer el peligroso sistema "teatro de defensa anti-misil", en contubernio con los estados unidos. todo esto demuestra que los reaccionarios japoneses dan espuelas a sus preparativos de nueva agresion a fin de realizar su antiguo sueno de la "esfera de coprosperidad de la gran asia oriental". el japon cumplio varios planes de aumento de fuerzas armadas agresivas. ahora las fuerzas militares de este pais ocupan uno de los puestos delanteros a nivel mundial. los reaccionarios japoneses ya preparados en lo militar, economico y politico para la guerra acechan codiciosamente la oportunidad de iniciar accion militar para nueva agresion al ultramar. con esto tiene que ver su vociferacion del "enfrentamiento al caso de emergencia en el contorno del japon". con este rotulo ellos pretenden ejercer sus fuerzas armadas en la extensa region de asia para establecer la esfera de control militar y la esfera de dominio. para ello la peninsula coreana constituye un blanco real. pero los reaccionarios japoneses aproximaran solo su autodestruccion al tomar el camino de nueva agresion para resucitar su antiguo imperio. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ _________________________________________________ KOMINFORM P.O.
