U.S. assertion about "threat from North Korea" refuted
Pyongyang, January 30 (KCNA) -- Papers here today in signed
commentaries lambaste the U.S. Department of Defense for taking issue with
the DPRK in its "2001 report on national defense" submitted to the congress
recently. In the "report" the U.S. Department of defense raised a hue and
cry over "military threat from North Korea" and disclosed its intention to
tighten the "U.S.-Japan alliance" allegedly to cope with it and get actively
involved in "guaranteeing security" in East Asia.
Rodong Sinmun dismisses this as sophism intended to hide the U.S. true
aim to stay in this region and maintain a military edge there in a bid to
put aside other western countries and go unchallenged in the scramble for
gaining interests and establish a political and military domination there.
The United States is working hard to threaten and stifle the DPRK,
calling for "joint actions" and "strengthened cooperation system" with
Japan, the paper notes, and goes on:
Due to those moves the relationship of hostility and confrontation
between the DPRK and the U.S. remains unimproved.
It is the U.S. that disturbs peace and security in the Asia-Pacific
region.
The United States has not abandoned its scenario for a second Korean
war.
Having chosen the Korean peninsula as the next target of their operation
after the Balkan crisis the U.S. warhawks are keen to hurl huge armed forces
more than 140 times those involved during the crisis to carry out that
scenario.
Included there are U.S. forces stationed in East Asia.
As seen above, the U.S. is the principal harasser of peace and security
on the Korean peninsula and in northeast Asia.
Minju Joson says the DPRK will not remain a passive onlooker to the U.S.
hatching up a plot to stifle the DPRK, its dialogue partner, by force of
arms while conducting a dialogue with it.

King of Cambodia supports Korean people's cause of reunification
Pyongyang, January 30 (KCNA) -- The royal government and people of
Cambodia will, in the future, too, fully support the Korean people's just
cause of achieving the peaceful reunification of Korea under the wise
guidance of marshal Kim Jong Il, a great man. Norodom Sihanouk, King of
Cambodia, said this when meeting on Jan. 25 with the delegation of the
Supreme People's Assembly of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea led
by vice-chairman of the SPA Jang Chol which was participating in the meeting
of the "Asian Parliamentary Association for Peace" held in Phnom Penh.
He noted that the people and the government of Cambodia and he would
always remember President Kim Il Sung, father of the Korean nation, who
rendered sincerest support and encouragement, both material and moral, to
the Cambodian people in their struggle for national liberation and for the
defence of the country's independence, sovereignty and territorial
integrity.
He heartily congratulated Kim Jong Il on the brilliant exploits and
successes made in the work to achieve the country's progress and prosperity
and carry forward and accomplish the revolutionary cause of Juche started by
Kim Il Sung and in the work to expand DPRK's foreign relations.

KCNA on Ishihara's provocative outbursts
Pyongyang, January 30 (KCNA) -- A crow can not be whiter for often
washing. Tokyo metropolitan governor Ishihara, ultra right-wing fascist
fanatic, at an open seminar of the Davos meeting held in Switzerland on Jan.
26 did not bother to attack other countries.
He laid bare before the world Japan's unchangeable true nature by
overstating the issue of suspected "kidnapping of Japanese" and letting
loose the provocative outburst that "it is necessary to sink operation ships
by missile attacks." This was part of his renewed anti-DPRK diatribe.
He is a political libertine who can be seen only in the Japanese
political arena as he is a figure typical of the Japanese ultra right-wing
reactionary group characterized by its militarist and ultra-nationalist way
of thinking.
It was shortly ago that he took the world by surprise by threatening to
"destroy" or "suppress" someone.
He whipped up war hysteria in the international arena again this time.
This can not be construed otherwise than a deep-seated desperate effort to
challenge the times and history to the last.
Ishihara's hooliganism at the international meeting was by no means
limited to his personal conduct but reflects the Japanese right-wing
reactionary forces' wild ambition to revive militarism and
ultra-nationalism.
What is serious is that such a guy as Ishihara is still allowed to strut
as an official politician and his provocative utterances and behaviours are
overlooked in Japan and a political environment is created for him to expand
the theatre of his activities to the international arena though the world
has entered the new century.
All these go to clearly prove that Japan is not likely to be a member of
the international community in the new century, either.
Those wild remarks of Ishihara swimming against the trend of history
only increase the international community's awareness of the Japanese
reactionaries' moves to revive militarism and heighten its vigilance against
Japan keen on overseas expansion.

10th International figure-skating festival for "Paektusan Cup" to open
Pyongyang, January 30 (KCNA) -- The tenth international figure-skating
festival for "Paektusan Cup" will be held in Pyongyang with large attendance
on the occasion of the February holiday. The festival which will bring
together ace figure-skaters from various countries and the DPRK will involve
single (man and woman), pair and ice dance and demonstration performance.
The festival, an annual event since Juche 81 (1992), has proved to be a
significant sports festival as it reflects the unanimous aspiration and
desire of all peoples to celebrate the birthday of leader Kim Jong Il as the
most auspicious holiday common to humankind.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Russian preparatory committee formed
Pyongyang, January 30 (KCNA) -- A preparatory committee was formed in
Moscow on Jan. 22 to celebrate the February holiday. The preparatory
committee is made up of leaders of various political parties and social
organizations and prominent figures of Russia.
A document on the inauguration of the committee called on all the
political parties and social organizations of different countries to
celebrate with splendour the significant holiday--the birthday of leader Kim
Jong Il by holding colourful functions.
Meanwhile, the Nakhodka City Committee of the Communist Party of the
Russian Federation at its plenary meeting held on Jan. 16 adopted a
resolution on forming a preparatory committee to celebrate the day.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Joint New Year editorial supported in Bangladesh
Pyongyang, January 30 (KCNA) -- The Bangladesh-Korea Friendship
Association issued a statement on January 19 in support of the joint
editorial of newspapers Rodong Sinmun, Josoninmingun and Chongnyonjonwi
"Let's open our way through the new century in the spirit of the victorious
'arduous march'". The statement warmly welcomed the idea and spirit set
forth in the joint editorial and wished the Korean people great success in
the drive to implement it.
The statement hoped that all the Koreans in the north and the south and
abroad would work hard for the implementation of the historic June 15
North-South Joint Declaration irrespective of idea, system, political view
and religious belief.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stockbreeding makes progress
Pyongyang, January 30 (KCNA) -- The DPRK is channelling great efforts
into the development of stockbreeding. Pig farms recently commissioned in
Taehongdan county, Ryanggang Province, have gone into operation.
The annual production capacity of each farm having about ten buildings
is 100 or 50 tons. even their floors, walls and troughs are heated to raise
pigs on a scientific and technical basis despite the cold in the highland.
All pigsties are equipped with self-controlled troughs.
The farms also have excellent facilities for the production of liquid
manure as well as a well-regulated sanitary and anti-epidemic system.
Among the recently built stockbreeding centres are the Chicken Factory
No.112, the Hwangju Chicken Factory, the Ostrich Farm, the Songam Myonggi
Cattle Farm where production is kept at a high rate.
All production processes such as feed processing and supply, production
of meat and eggs, hatching and chick breeding as well as temperature,
humidity and lighting regulation are computerized.
People in other parts of the country are building similar farms, drawing
on the experience gained by those centres.

periodicos comentan peroracion de departamento de defensa de ee.uu. sobre
"amenaza de norcorea"
pyongyang, 30 de enero (atcc) -- los periodicos capitalinos en sus
comentarios de hoy denuncian el hecho de que el departamento de defensa
norteamericano en su "informe de defensa del ano 2001" sometido
recientemente a la consideracion del congreso acuso a la republica popular
democratica de corea. el comentario de "rodong sinmun" senala:
en el "informe" el departamento de defensa norteamericano habla de
fortalecer la "alianza ee.uu.-japon" para hacer frente a la "amenaza militar
de norcorea" y de participar activamente en el asunto para la "seguridad" de
asia oriental.
esta insistencia no pasa de ser una sofisteria para ocultar su designio
de controlar esta region, mantener de continuo alli superioridad militar,
ocupar una posicion monopolista superando a otros paises del occidente en la
contienda por la concesion y establecer el dominio politico-militar.
los ee.uu. pretenden amenazar y aplastar la rpdc al vociferar de "accion
comun" y "sistema de cooperacion" con el japon.
por eso las relaciones hostiles y de enfrentamiento entre la rpdc y los
ee.uu. no se alivian.
ee.uu. es perturbador de la paz y la seguridad de la region de
asia-pacifico.
no renuncia su plan de la segunda guerra coreana.
las fuerzas belicosas de ee.uu. definieron la peninsula coreana como
objeto de la operacion siguiente a la de los balcanes. se proponen movilizar
las fuerzas armadas de mas de 140 veces con respecto a esta ultima para
cumplir el plan de la segunda guerra coreana. se les incluyen las fuerzas
armadas de las tropas norteamericanas en la region de asia oriental.
asi, ee.uu. es perturbador principal de la paz y seguridad de la
peninsula coreana y el nordeste asiatico.
el periodico "minju joson" subraya que la rpdc no podra estar con brazos
cruzados ante la actitud de los ee.uu. que por una parte entablan dialogo
con la contraparte y por la otra teje artimana para aplastar
