Decision adopted at joint meeting of political parties and organizations in
DPRK hailed
��� Pyongyang, May 30 (KCNA) -- The joint meeting of political parties and
organizations in the DPRK held here on May 28 to pave the way for achieving
reunification by the concerted efforts of the Korean nation called for
holding a grand national symposium on Mt. Kumgang, a famous mountain of
Korea, with people from all walks of life in the north, south and abroad
attending on the occasion of the first anniversary of the publication of the
north-south joint declaration. It also discussed such issues as organizing
colorful events in the north, south and abroad according to their specific
conditions, steadily staging a movement and functions to successfully
implement the declaration and escalating them nationwide during the "June
15-August 15 Period of the Movement for Promoting National Reunification."
��� Rodong Sinmun today in a signed commentary says that the proposal and
decision made at the meeting are very significant and timely ones as they
represent the nation's will and aspiration after reunification and the
requirements of the reality.
��� The commentary goes on:
��� Over the last one year since the historic Pyongyang meeting and the
publication of the joint declaration great progress has been made in the
struggle for national reunification.
��� But, it is now facing a grave challenge.
��� The U.S. imperialists are desperately trying to throw a stumbling block
in the way of the Korean nation's independent reunification, talking about
"hard-line" toward someone.
��� In South Korea large-scale joint military exercises against the DPRK are
being staged one after another and pro-reunification patriotic organizations
are being suppressed one after another on absurd charges of being
"enemy-benefiting" organizations.
��� The main purpose of the joint meeting is to hold those functions for
reunification nationwide during the June 15-August 15 period and foil the
outsiders' and anti-reunification forces' challenges through the unity of
the whole nation and provide an opportunity to effect a new upswing in the
movement for national reunification.
��� One's stand and attitude toward the decision and call made at the joint
meeting precisely mean an approach to the joint declaration and a criterion
showing whether he or she wishes reconciliation, unity and reunification of
the nation or not.
��� Whoever is truly concerned about the destiny of the country and the
nation and desirous of national reunification should positively respond to
the decision and call of the joint meeting.

KCNA brands U.S. as wrecker of world peace
��� Pyongyang, May 30 (KCNA) -- Official figures of the U.S. administration
in different places recently let loose a string of balderdash that "the U.S.
is ready to cooperate with Japan in exercising its right to collective
self-defence" and "Japan should exercise its right to collective
self-defence even by revising its constitution". This is a proof that the
Bush administration's attempt to turn Japan into a military power and use it
as a shock brigade in executing the U.S. strategy for world domination has
reached an extremely adventurous phase.
��� The Japanese right-wing forces are now working hard to formally upgrade
the "Self-Defence Forces" to an army and rewrite the "peace constitution" so
as to lay legal foundations for overseas aggression. If Japan is allowed to
have regular armed forces and "exercise the right to collective
self-defence", it will certainly turn into a military power and launch
reinvasion of Asia. This is quite clear from Japan's past and its present
political and military tendency. Japan is a war criminal state which
inflicted monstrous disasters upon humankind and the only country obsessed
with the wild ambition for aggression, far from liquidating its criminal
past. That's why the international community has been very vigilant against
Japan's moves for rearmament and for its conversion into a military power.
��� However, the United States rearmed Japan and used many Japanese
servicemen as a shock brigade for aggression during the Korean War and is
now pushing it to those moves.
��� All facts go to prove that the U.S is the very one who sparks an arms
race in Asia and wrecks the world peace.
��� The Bush administration, seized by an arrogant and self-opinionated
design for world domination, seems to forget that Japan's moves to emerge as
a military power and realize militarization are far from beneficial to the
U.S. itself.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Agreement on Korea-China cooperation signed
��� Pyongyang, May 30 (KCNA) -- An agreement of the 40th meeting of the
DPRK-China border river navigation cooperation committee was signed here on
Tuesday. Present at the signing ceremony were members of the delegations of
the DPRK and Chinese sides to the committee.
��� The agreement was inked by head of the DPRK delegation Ri Nam Jong and
head of the Chinese delegation Tian Yugang.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
U.S. hard line policy toward DPRK assailed
��� Pyongyang, May 30 (KCNA) -- Over 200 members of the Confederation of
Trade Unions and the Democratic Workers' Party of South Korea held a rally
in front of the U.S. military base in Ryongsan, Seoul, on May 26, according
to Seoul-based MBC. At the rally they said the atmosphere of inter-Korean
reconciliation is being distracted by the Bush administration's persistent
hardline policy toward the DPRK.
��� Recalling that the U.S. administration recently called for the
establishment of "Missile Defense" system and an increase of 20 percent in
spending for the upkeep of its troops, the ralliers contended its hardline
policy towards the DPRK is hampering inter-Korean dialogue.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sports achievements exhibited
��� Pyongyang, May 30 (KCNA) -- An "exhibition of achievements in physical
culture and sports" has been arranged at the Pyongyang Indoor Stadium. On
display there are over 200 photographs and more than 600 cups, medals and
golden belts which show the achievements made in sports over the past 55
years.
��� There is also a chart showing that DPRK players won over 1,220 medals in
world championships, Olympiads and other international games.
��� According to data at the exhibition, 95 heroes and heroines and people's
sportspersons, over 660 merited sportspersons and over 2,700 masters of
sports were produced from the nation's field of sports in the period.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Family of physician
��� Pyongyang, May 30 (KCNA) -- Korea boasts of many families of
intellectuals who contribute to the building of a powerful nation. Among
them is a family of physician Ryu Sik who recently wrote the book "the way
to a hundred-year longevity". the book, a dear friend to the people for the
health promotion, is a product of the warm human love of merited physician,
professor and doctor Ryu Sik, vice-president of Namsan Hospital, and his
wife, son and daughter.
��� Leader Kim Jong Il was informed of his family who wrote a book helpful
to the health promotion of the people with awareness of the mission of
physicians. he highly praised:
��� "It is highly commendable that the whole family wrote it with
praiseworthy idea".
��� He sent the book to the grand people's study house to feed it into the
computer, so that readers may get access to medical materials and knowledge
any time.
��� Ryu Sik has already written tens of medical books, reference textbooks
and theses including a reference book for clinical surgery, a collection of
surgery, health and hygiene, greatly contributing to the development of
medical science. and he brought up over 10 doctors and bachelors of medical
science.
��� His son Ryu Rim and daughter Ryu Ho Chun, doctors and bachelors at the
hospital attached to Pyongyang University of Medicine and Pothonggang
district people's hospital in Pyongyang, studied and solved the urgent
issues of surgery and pharmacy, proving them effective in practice.
��� His wife Pak Juk Sun with a long career of an obstetrician is called and
respected by neighbouring women as "their own mother".
