Japan's chief executive's outbursts slammed
��� Pyongyang, May 15 (KCNA) -- As regards the issue of the visit to the
Yasukuni Shrine the new chief executive of Japan said that "his intention to
pay homage and thanks to the war dead remains unchanged and he wishes to
visit it in his personal capacity." In this regard Minju Joson today in a
signed commentary says:
��� This clearly proves that the chief executive of Japan misses very much
those who took the road of militarist overseas aggression and has a
political design to push Japan again to militarism.
��� It is the public comment that Japan will turn further to the right
politically and its militarization will be accelerated as the right-wing
conservative tendency and reactionary outlines of the Japanese ruling
quarters have become clear.
��� Recalling many countries' deep concern over Japan's deviation to the
right, the commentary observes: Japan is well advised to bear in mind that
it is right time Japan took a proper option.
��� Japan stands at the crossroads: whether to turn to peace in conformity
with the trend of the times or to revive militarism going against it. If
Japan fails to have a right option, it will go to ruin and never rise again.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
United States to blame for delayed lwr construction
��� Pyongyang, May 15 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun today in a signed commentary
condemns Baradei, general director of the International Atomic Energy
Agency, for his remarks made at a recent interview with a foreign newspaper
in a bid to shift responsibility for the delayed construction of the light
water reactors on to the DPRK. The commentary says:
��� The principle to be maintained by the IAEA in its work is neutrality and
impartiality. But remarks made by him falsifying facts to favour the hostile
policy of the bush administration towards the DPRK are shameless enough to
cripple the authority of the IAEA and trust in it.
��� It is none other than the united states which is chiefly responsible for
the non-compliance with the DPRK-U.S. Agreed Framework.
��� Under the AF proclaimed on October 21, 1994 the united states is
committed to build two light water reactors, each with a capacity of one
million kw, and deliver them to the DPRK by the year 2003.
��� Though nearly seven years have passed since its adoption, the lwr
construction, its main item, has made no progress due to the U.S. insincere
attitude and obstructions and nobody can tell when it will be completed.
��� The U.S. deliberate procrastination over the lwr construction is aimed
to check the DPRK's independent development of its nuclear power industry
and weaken its economic and military potentials and thus stifle the DPRK by
force.
��� The provision of light water reactors under the AF is the commitment the
united states made before the world.
��� The DPRK cannot but make a special mention about the urgent need to
compensate for the loss of electricity caused by the U.S. intentional
delaying tactics. The DPRK has every right to claim compensation from the
United States and will exercise it to the last.
��� There is no change in the DPRK's stand to sincerely implement the agreed
framework.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Woman translator-writer
��� Pyongyang, May 15 (KCNA) -- "Translation brings the world nearer to
us," says Ri In Ju, 64, a famous woman translator-writer who has so far
translated 25 foreign novels from the late 1970s. She is still active in
this line with unflagging energy. She was born in Pyongyang, the eldest of
seven children.
��� From childhood, foreign languages and literature held her fancy. after
graduation from the foreign studies faculty of Kim Il Sung University, she
devoured foreign and Korean literature, ready to be soundly equipped for a
translator-writer. sketches of mentality became her habit, and she tried her
hand at interpretation for foreign delegations with a keen lookout for
dialect.
��� She produced her premiere translation of the soviet novel "Hot Snow" by
Yuri Bondarev, and this success established her as a full-fledged
translator-writer.
��� By that time, the bulk of world literary classics had been translated in
Korea. This meant she had to turn to contemporary literature, and the choice
demanded a high literary concept. She spent a lot of time and energy on
sifting the novels of value and significance.
��� Most acclaimed of her many versions is the Russian novel "Live and
Remember" by Rasputin.
��� In translation, she makes a point of drawing out the original concept to
the full. now she is set on producing renderings of famous west European
novels. Her efforts will give the Koreans a better understanding of foreign
literature and the world.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
S. Korean hunger-strikers make public open questionnaire
��� Pyongyang, May 15 (KCNA) -- A 30-day hunger strike group of South Korea
for anti-U.S. national salvation made public an open questionnaire addressed
to the U.S. embassy on May 7, according to a report. It demanded the
withdrawal of the U.S. hard-line policy toward the DPRK which hampers the
implementation of the June 15 Joint Declaration, a probe into the truth
behind the massacre of civilians and apology and compensation for them. The
questionnaire said that the United States is intensifying its policy of
confrontation with the DPRK, while talking about the "missile issue," and
undisguisedly interfering in the internal affairs of South Korea in a bid to
bar the Korean nation from implementing the June 15 Joint Declaration and
throw a wet blanket over the atmosphere of national reunification.
��� It also noted the U.S. moves are threatening the implementation of the
declaration and running counter to the DPRK-U.S. communique which was
published last year.
��� The group questioned whether the U.S. has any intention to drop the
hard-line policy toward the DPRK and to thoroughly probe the truth behind
the mass killings of South Korean civilians by the U.S. troops, apologize
and compensate for them and to drop the plan for the "Missile Defence"
system which threatens world peace and creates an atmosphere of tensions
again on the Korean peninsula.
��� It also questioned whether the U.S. is willing to withdraw its forces
from South Korea at the present time when the north and south of Korea are
seeking reconciliation and unity instead of confrontation after the
publication of the June 15 Joint Declaration.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Useful animals under government protection
��� Pyongyang, May 15 (KCNA) -- In the DPRK March to July is designated as
a period of protection of useful animals. Korea has pronounced four seasons.
The spring and summer are suited for animals in breeding.
��� Badger and otter commence breeding between march and April, sable
between April and May and deer, roe deer, antelope, cervue elaphus and tiger
between May and June and mask deer, Korean water-deer and flying squirrel
between June and July.
��� Birds lay eggs in this period.
��� The "DPRK law on the protection of useful animals" and "regulations on
enforcing the law on the protection of useful animals" adopted in Juche 87
(1998) provide for intensive breeding of useful animals in a nationwide
movement. Useful animals stipulated by state law include those beneficial to
the development of the national economy and the people's living and health,
those which are native or under world protection and those whose number is
on the decrease or those which are on the verge of extinction.
��� During this period, pr campaign to explain the need for the protection
of animals through mass media, seminars and information-sharing meetings are
held regularly.
��� Particular attention is directed to the work of giving youth and
students detailed instructions about the need to protect the animal life.
��� Along with this, steps have been taken to create artificial caves and
nests in favorite haunts of animals and birds in different places such as
sanctuaries, scenic spots, pleasure parks and recreation grounds, as well as
feed fields and forests.
��� Artificially-spawned pheasant, roe deer and others are set free to live
in mountains or fields. a strict control has been established whereby
catching or frightening animals is forbidden.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Special resolution of executive committee meeting of IIJI supported
��� Pyongyang, May 15 (KCNA) -- Meetings of Juche idea study groups were
held in Nepal, Madagascar and Ethiopia on May 4 and 8 to support a special
resolution adopted at the 8th meeting of the executive committee of the
board of directors of the International Institute of the Juche Idea (IIJI).
At the meetings speakers expressed full support to the special resolution on
enhancing the role of Juche idea study groups to commemorate Sun's Day (Apr.
15), The birthday of President Kim Il Sung, and Feb. 16, the birthday of
leader Kim Jong Il, next year as grand political festivals to be recorded in
human history, visiting the Kumsusan Memorial Palace, the supreme temple of
Juche, and calling a world conference on the Juche idea. They noted that the
world conference would mark a historic occasion of celebrating Kim Jong Il's
birthday next year most significantly and grandly and making a radical turn
in the efforts to accomplish the human cause of independence in the 21st
century.
��� The meetings decided to commemorate Sun's Day and Feb. 16 next year with
great successes in their work and fully prepare multifarious functions
including the world conference on the Juche idea.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
National unity called for
��� Pyongyang, May 15 (KCNA) -- What is important for reunifying the
country is to achieve cooperation between compatriots, says Rodong Sinmun
today in a signed article. Cooperation between compatriots is prerequisite
to terminating the continued national division forced by foreign forces upon
the Korean people and achieving reunification and only by doing so is it
possible to accomplish the cause of national reunification, the article
notes, and goes on:
��� There is no doubt that if the Korean nation vigorously conducts a march
for reunification with concerted efforts, it is possible to realize the
nation's desire for national reunification as early as possible.
��� The present reality calls for realising cooperation between compatriots
to frustrate the moves of foreign forces for aggression, the permanent
division of the nation and a new war and staging a dynamic movement for the
independent reunification of the nation.
��� Only when the north and the south get united to jointly counter foreign
forces' aggression and interference, is it possible to prevent such
catastrophic crisis as a war on the Korean peninsula. cooperation between
compatriots leads to the independent reunification of the nation.
��� There should be no difference in the tasks of the north and the south to
check and frustrate the U.S. imperialists' moves to block the reunification
of the Korean nation.
��� Only when the whole nation realizes cooperation from a firm independent
stand, will foreign forces' plots come a cropper and will the cause of the
independent reunification of the Korean nation be achieved.
��� Cooperation between compatriots means patriotism and dependence on
foreign forces is treachery.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
U.S. moves for MD blasted
��� Pyongyang, May 15 (KCNA) -- In establishing the "Missile Defense"
system (MD) the Bush administration seeks to hold world military supremacy
and realize its design for global domination on this basis, says Minju Joson
today in a signed commentary. This is evidenced by the fact that bush,
recently speaking at the U.S. national Defense University, asserted that the
U.S. would establish MD as early as possible in order to protect the U.S.
and its "allies" from the "threat of rogue states," the commentary notes,
and goes on:
��� As already known to the world, the united states has long labelled those
countries which are pursuing independent politics, not meekly obeying its
demands and dictates, as "rogue states" and vociferated about the "threat"
from them.
��� The U.S. MD is designed to have a military edge over its neighboring big
powers and create favourable conditions for its military actions and
aggression in any part of the world. That is why the U.S. is so keen on MD.
��� Recalling that Russia and many other countries are rejecting the U.S.
moves to establish MD, the commentary urges:
��� The Bush administration must discontinue those moves at once in view of
the trend of the times and a serious lesson taught by history.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

primer saludo de fiesta de ano nuevo a pueblo
��� pyongyang, 15 de enero (atcc) -- en el acto de escolares y ninos por el
nuevo ano 90 (2001) de la era juche los ninos rindieron su primer saludo a
los padres, hermanos y hermanas. desde las antiguedades, segun la costumbre
propia de la nacion coreana, los inferiores hacen reverencia a sus
superiores con motivo del primer dia del ano nuevo.
��� el pueblo coreano trata con sublime veneracion a su lider y su
dirigente. por eso rinde cada ano primer saludo de fiesta de ano nuevo al
gran lider presidente kim il sung y al respetado dirigente kim jong il, con
el honor y felicidad infinitos de vivir enalteciendolos como padre de la
nacion.
��� tal costumbre convertida en un ambiente de toda la sociedad no es
excepcional tampoco en el acto de los escolares y ninos por el ano nuevo.
��� pero en el acto por el nuevo ano 2001 los escolares y ninos hicieron
reverencia a sus padres antes que a su dirigente a quien enaltecen como
padre de todo el pais. he ahi un motivo. a finales del ano pasado, al
enterarse de los preparativos de la funcion artistica de ano nuevo de los
escolares y ninos, el dirigente kim jong il enseno cordialmente que
independientemente de la costumbre anterior estos deben saludar primeramente
a sus padres quienes realizan hazanas laborales en la construccion
socialista.
��� el dirigente kim jong il al decir que el nuestro es un pueblo excelente,
el mismo disfruta de la mayor fortuna de tener a un gran pueblo y no hay que
escatimar nada para este no cesa de tomar el camino de la direccion sobre el
terreno para el fomento del bienestar del pueblo.
��� tambien el primer dia del presente ano hizo que el pueblo recibiera el
primer saludo y continuo el camino de su direccion sobre el terreno a la
unidad del ejercito para la tranquilidad del pueblo y la felicidad de los
ninos precisamente cuando estos bailaban y cantaban.
��� por eso en toda la extension del pais, resuena la cancion de los ninos
"el general al frente y los ninos al campamento".
��� asi el lider se siente orgulloso de la fortuna de tener al gran pueblo y
este canta la fortuna de enaltecer al gran lider.
��� he aqui la autentica fisonomia de la sociedad coreana con la unidad
monolitica del lider y el pueblo.

responsabilidad recae sobre ee.uu.
��� pyongyang, 15 de mayo (atcc) -- el diario "rodong sinmun" en el numero
de hoy inserto un comentario condenando a baradei, director general del
organismo internacional de energia atomica quien en una reciente entrevista
con un periodico extranjero trataba de descargar a la rpdc la
responsabilidad de postergacion de la construccion de reactores de agua
ligera. el comentario senala en particular:
��� el principio que ha de ser mantenido estrictamente en la labor del oiea
es la neutralidad e imparcialidad.
��� pero, el director general del oiea en adhesion a la politica hostil a la
rpdc de la administracion de bush de ee.uu. hizo disparate tergiversando la
verdad, lo que afecta solo la autoridad y confianza de este organismo
internacional.
��� ee.uu. no ejecuta sinceramente el acuerdo basico rpdc-ee.uu. concertado
el 21 de octubre de 1994.
��� segun el acuerdo ee.uu. se responsabiliza de construir dos reactores de
agua ligera con capacidad de un millon de kw (cada uno) para entregarlos
hasta el ano 2003 a la rpdc.
��� pero, debido a la actitud falta de sinceridad y maquinaciones
obstructoras de ee.uu., hasta hoy a 7 anos de la aprobacion de dicho acuerdo
la construccion de reactores de agua ligera que es asunto clave se estanca y
no se sabe cuando culminara. la dilata de proposito ee.uu. para impedir el
desarrollo de la industria de energia nuclear independiente de la rpdc,
debilitar las potencialidades economicas y militares de esta y aplastarla
con fuerzas.
��� no podemos menos que senalar particularmente que se presenta seriamente
el problema de la indemnizacion sobre la perdida de energia electrica de la
rpdc debido a la tactica de dilacion intencional de ee.uu.
��� tenemos el derecho a recibir la compensacion de ee.uu. por el respecto y
ejerceremos hasta el fin este derecho.
��� es invariable la disposicion de la rpdc de ejecutar
