��� Pyongyang, May 11 (KCNA) -- Leader Kim Jong Il yesterday gave on-site
guidance to the Suwon Cooperative Farm in Paechon county, South Hwanghae
Province, which has been turned into a modern socialist village. Kim Jong Il
went to Komunjae plain to learn about the land realignment project in
detail.
��� He highly praised the amazing change brought about by the shock brigade
members from Pyongyang in a short span of time and thanked them for it.
��� He was greatly satisfied to see the cosy and modern dwelling houses
newly built at the foot of hills and the rebuilt straight roads.
��� Noting that if one makes persistent efforts to implement line and policy
of the party as the officials, party members and workers of South Hwanghae
Province did, there is nothing impossible, he said that all the provinces,
cities and counties should actively follow their example.
��� He advanced important tasks which would serve as a guideline in speeding
up rural construction and increasing the agricultural production.
��� He noted that in order to steadily increase the agricultural production,
the most important work in building a powerful nation, it is imperative to
hold fast to the party's agriculture-first policy, concentrate the state
efforts on it and strictly apply the Juche farming method which
comprehensively represents the will of the farmers and whose validity has
been proved.
��� He underscored the need to build a lot of houses and properly manage
roads and land to go well with the features of the realigned land and called
for directing great efforts to rural construction.

Establishment of new information order called for
��� Pyongyang, May 11 (KCNA) -- The establishment of a new information
order is the primary task of the international community to make the 21st
century a peaceful and prosperous century, said the DPRK delegate at the
23rd session of the U.N. Information Committee held in New York.
Underscoring the need to pay due attention to establishing a fair and new
information order in keeping with the development of new information and
communication technology, he said:
��� In this regard, the developed countries, which control modern
information and communication means, are required to recognize the
importance of this issue and sincerely help the developing countries build
their own information capacity through the transfer of technology and
financial aid.
��� The main goal of U.N. information service is to widely introduce U.N.
activities among the world people and thus enlist broad-based support to the
United Nations.
��� It is most important for the U.N. to ensure that the principle of
respect for sovereignty of each country and non-interference in other's
internal affairs is strictly observed in the information service, too, as it
is based on the principle of respect for sovereignty and equality of all its
member states.
��� Objectivity and impartiality should also be ensured in U.N. information
service.
��� And U.N. information service should be made to positively contribute to
the settlement of issues related to economic and social development in
developing countries and measures should be taken to transfer modern
information and communication technology to developing countries.
��� The delegation of the DPRK positively appreciates the workshop held
every year for information service in developing countries under the
sponsorship of the U.N. Information Bureau.

Calabash-shaped pot from Tangun's Korea
��� Pyongyang, May 11 (KCNA) -- Many calabash-shaped pots have been
unearthed at the sites of dwellings, dolmens and stone coffin tombs which
are believed to be in the period of Tangun's Korea (early 30th century
bc-14th century BC) in and around Pyongyang, Phyodae in Samsok district
included. Calabash-shaped pot, typical earthenware of this period, is
literally shaped like a calabash without calyx. It resembles calabash not
only in appearance but also in size.
��� It is generally gray or dark gray. as its shape is unique and the
surface is smooth, it gives a feeling of softness. Among this kind of pots,
there are those whose bottoms are round, flat and pointed and those whose
upper body is embossed with a belt pattern consisting of lines.
��� There are two or four holds of various shapes as additional patterns,
such as knob-shape, ring-shape, lip-shape and half-moon-shape. this gives an
admirable symmetrical effect.
��� Calabash-shaped pot has been called Misongri-type pot, whose name was
derived from Misong-ri, Uiju county, North Phyongan Province, where it was
unearthed at a cave there for the first time.
��� In and around Pyongyang, artifacts of three forms of calabash-shaped pot
have been found and the small pot with a long neck, which is believed to be
the origin of the pot, has been discovered only in the Pyongyang area.
��� This is another evidence that Pyongyang is a time-honoured city which
has existed since the period of Tangun's Korea.

break trust between the north and the south and take the road of tension and
war, not reconciliation.
