Diplomatic relations between DPRK and Canada established
Pyongyang, February 6 (KCNA) -- A press statement on the establishment
of diplomatic relations between the Democratic People's Republic of Korea
and Canada was released today. The statement reads:
Being desirous of developing friendly and cooperative relations in all
fields in accordance with the objectives and principles of the UN Charter,
international laws and practice and on the principles of the mutual respect
for the national sovereignty, non-interference in the other's internal
affairs and equality, the government of the Democratic People's Republic of
Korea has decided to establish diplomatic relations with Canada at the
ambassadorial level.
In regard with the establishment of diplomatic relations, the letters
were exchanged on February 1, 2001, between Paek Nam Sun, foreign minister
of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, and John Manley, foreign
minister of Canada.
The establishment of diplomatic relations at the ambassadorial level
will contribute to deepening mutual understandings and confidence between
the two countries and the two peoples, adhering to the mutual respect for
sovereignty and developing bilateral relations in various fields.

KCNA on Japan's dangerous move for "emergency legislation"
Pyongyang, February 6 (KCNA) -- Recently Japan announced that it would
set up examination councils at the ministries and agencies concerned to
institute an "emergency legislation". This is a dangerous move to channel
all the manpower and material resources of the country into executing a war
of aggression and legally and institutionally guarantee a wartime system and
fascistization at home.
Japan has already restored the right to participate in war and the right
of belligerency by adopting the law related to the updated 1999 "Japan-U.S.
defense cooperation guideline" and the "law on emergencies in areas
surrounding Japan". If Japan institutes the "emergency legislation " and
revises the constitution, it will round off the legal and institutional
preparations to launch an overseas aggression any moment.
The Japanese reactionaries have always been seized by the revanchist and
militarist ambition since their defeat in World War II. Hence, they singled
out the institution of the "emergency legislation" as a major task of the
"defense agency" already 25 years ago and have since stepped up preparations
for it.
The Japanese chief executive in his policy speech on Jan. 31 underscored
again the need to institute the "emergency legislation" only to
undisguisedly reveal Japan's intention to complete the fascistization and
wartime system at home.
What merits a more serious attention is that they are pushing ahead with
these moves under the pretext of "threat" from the DPRK.
They still insist that the DPRK's successful launch of a satellite was a
"missile launch" in a bid to divert elsewhere the watchful eyes of the
international community from the institution of the "emergency legislation".
All the facts go to prove that their strategic ambition to lay a
military and political foundation for the establishment of their
unchallenged position in the Asia-Pacific region remains unchanged and it
grows stronger.
Japan is well advised to cool their heads preoccupied with aggression
and to be prudent.
If Japan keeps to the road of militarization as it does now, it will
only meet a final ruin.
Gone never to return are the times when a country's arbitrary practices
were allowed.

Kirgyz preparatory committee formed to mark Feb. 16
Pyongyang, February 6 (KCNA) -- A Kirgyz preparatory committee was
inaugurated on January 29 to celebrate February 16, the birthday of leader
Kim Jong Il. At the inaugural meeting Klara Ajibekova, first secretary of
the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Kirgyzstan, was elected
chairwoman of the committee.
An action programme of the preparatory committee was announced at the
meeting.
Klara Ajibekova in her speech said that the world people are deeply
impressed by the political ability and leadership of general secretary of
the Workers' Party of Korea Kim Jong Il possessed of outstanding wisdom and
perspicacity.
She noted that the committee would significantly mark the birthday of
Kim Jong Il by arranging multifarious events and introduce his exploits
among the Kirgyz people.

Dangerous U.S.-Japan military tieup flailed
Pyongyang, February 6 (KCNA) -- Ruling circles of the United States and
Japan have become all the more vociferous about the necessity to ensure
"Peace and Security in the Asia-Pacific Region and the Rest of the World"
and strengthen the "U.S.-Japan alliance" since the emergence of the new
administration in the U.S. in this regard Rodong Sinmun today says in a
signed commentary:
The U.S. and Japan claim that strengthened "U.S.-Japan alliance" is
necessary for "peace, stability and prosperity" in the Asia-Pacific region
and the rest of the world. this is a gross misrepresentation of the reality.
The "alliance" is nothing but a dangerous military nexus intended to
dominate the Asia-Pacific region including the Korean peninsula.
The strengthened U.S.-Japan military tieup has nothing to do with peace,
security and prosperity in the region. This only drives the situation in the
region to a dangerous phase.
The U.S. is pursuing a "policy of strength" to establish its
unchallenged domination over the region in the new century. It is going to
realise this ambition by using Japan, its junior partner, as a "shock
brigade" for aggression.
It is the unchangeable wild ambition of the Japanese reactionaries to
realise their old dream of the "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere"
taking advantage of the U.S. strategy to invade Asia.
They are whetting their sword to launch overseas military operations
under the signboard of "joint action" with the U.S. in case of "emergencies
in surrounding areas."

Korea's reunification supported
Pyongyang, February 6 (KCNA) -- The Bangladesh Institute of the Juche
Idea and the Bulgarian group for the study of the Juche idea issued
statements in support of the Korean people's cause of national
reunification. The Bangladesh Institute of the Juche Idea in a statement on
Jan. 30 expressed the firm belief that Korea would be reunified by means of
founding a federal republic through the thoroughgoing implementation of the
historic north-south joint declaration based on the principles of
independence, peaceful reunification and great national unity.
The statement called upon the South Korean authorities and politicians
to immediately implement the joint declaration.
The Bulgarian group for the study of the Juche idea in a statement on
Jan. 27 expressed full support to the decision of the 2001 meeting for the
independent reunification of the Korean nation on setting a "June 15-August
15 period of campaign for promoting national reunification" and stressed
that the meeting served as another motive force to achieve great national
unity and the reunification of Korea.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Abrogation of "Security Law" urged in S. Korea
Pyongyang, February 6 (KCNA) -- At least 600 students under the South
Korean Federation of University Student Councils (Hanchongryon) and members
of the people's solidarity for the abrogation of the "Security Law" held a
rally in Seoul on Feb. 3 in demand of the total abolition of the SL,
Seoul-based radio no. 1 said. "The bill on revising the 'Security Law' has
not been placed on the agenda at the 'national assembly' due to the scramble
between political camps," they said, demanding the SL be totally abolished,
not revised.
Holding that hanchongryon, the national alliance for the country's
reunification (Pomminryon) and other organizations that have spearheaded the
reunification movement are still branded as "organizations benefiting the
enemy", they demanded the withdrawal of this charge.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Annual meeting of Bulgaria-Korea Friendship Association
Pyongyang, February 6 (KCNA) -- An annual meeting of the Bulgaria-Korea
Friendship Association was held in Sofia on Jan. 31. Georgy Stoyanov,
chairman of the association, in a report at the meeting referred to the last
year's work of the association and said that it will make positive efforts
to further expand and develop the friendly and cooperative relations between
the two countries.
He expressed the belief that the fraternal Korean people would make
great successes in their efforts to build a powerful socialist nation and
accomplish the cause of national reunification under the wise guidance of
leader Kim Jong Il.
A letter to Kim Jong Il was adopted at the meeting.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
New art works done with spray paint
Pyongyang, February 6 (KCNA) -- New art works done with spray paint
attract the interest of the people in the DPRK. Spraying method keeps alive
the basic characteristics of Korean paintings.
This method helps truthfully depict even dewdrops on petals and leaves.
It has no limitation as far as painting is concerned.
Paint can be sprayed on paper, cloth, metal and wood, etc. to create any
art work.
The art of drawing is very peculiar.
It is of great economic value.
A creative group which specializes in spraying method was formed at the
light industry art studio.
The group produced art works done by this method which are listed as
national treasure.
They include paintings vividly representing Kimilsungia and Kimjongilia
carrying the reverence of all people, dark blue waves caused by a storm and
different kinds of fruits (pictures of still life.)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rodong Sinmun on north-south joint declaration
Pyongyang, February 6 (KCNA) -- The north-south joint declaration is a
proclamation of national independence and reunification full of the spirit
and will of national independence, says Rodong Sinmun today in a signed
article. The article goes on:
National independence is the basic idea and spirit and main core of the
north-south joint declaration.
The declaration, first of all, calls for solving the issue of
reunification on the principle of national independence. If the Korean
nation is to discharge its responsibility and role as the master of national
reunification, the nation should have readiness to reject the foreign forces
who do not do any good to reunification but do harm to it and to solve the
issue of reunification by its concerted efforts as well as the confidence
that it can solve the issue by itself.
This is the viewpoint and stand to reunify the country on the principle
of national independence.
The declaration indicates the way of the nation's independent
reunification.
It is the way of independent reunification to reunify the country by
federal formula.
The declaration calls upon the north and the south to orient toward
reunification by federal formula.
The declaration says that the north and the south shall settle the
humanitarian issue, ensure the balanced development of the national economy
and promote cooperation and exchange in all fields. All of them are of
weighty significance in creating an atmosphere of reunification and stirring
up the desire of the whole nation for reunification, the article stresses.

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 ficialmente 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.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
peligrosa coligacion militar
pyongyang, 6 de febrero (atcc) -- el diario "rodong sinmun" en el
numero de hoy inserto un comentario senalando que despues de la aparicion de
la nueva administracion de estados unidos las capas dominantes de este pais
y el japon hablan con mas frecuencia de "la paz y la estabilidad en la
region de asia-pacifico y el resto del mundo" y de la necesidad de
fortalecer su "alianza bilateral". el comentario senala:
es la descarada tergiversacion de la realidad la preconizacion de que el
fortalecimiento de la "alianza entre ee.uu. y japon" es para "la paz, la
estabilidad y la prosperidad" de la region de asia-pacifico y el resto del
mundo. la "alianza entre ee.uu. y japon" es una peligrosa coligacion militar
para realizar el dominio sobre la peninsula coreana y la region de
asia-pacifico.
ee.uu. se aferra a la "politica de fuerzas" para establecer su dominio
en la region de asia-pacifico en el nuevo siglo.
trata de realizar su ambicion al tomar el japon, su aliado subalterno
por "brigada de choque" de la agresion.
los reaccionarios japoneses se adhieren a la estrategia agresiva de
estados unidos a asia para realizar su antiguo sueno sobre la "esfera de
coprosperidad de la gran asia oriental". al vociferar de "hacer frente" en
coligacion con ee.uu. al "caso de emergencia del contorno" afilan el
cuchillo de la agresion tratando de realizar la operacion militar al
ultramar.
