Support to Korea's reunification called for
��� Pyongyang, June 21 (KCNA) -- The New Socialist Party of Japan released
a statement on June 15 on the occasion of the first anniversary of the
north-south joint declaration. The statement hoped that the independent and
peaceful reunification of Korea would be realized in the spirit of the
declaration and said that, to this end, all the countries should intensify
solidarity activities for supporting the independent and peaceful
reunification of Korea.
��� It noted that the Japanese government should officially admit the
responsibility for Japan's aggression of Korea and colonial rule over it,
immediately apologize and compensate for them, rectify the discrimination
policy at home and abroad and promote the establishment of the Japan-DPRK
diplomatic ties at an early date.
��� It urged Japan, the U.S. and South Korea to stop the joint military
actions, abandon the hostile policy toward the DPRK and make a radical
policy switchover in order to contribute to establishing the order of peace
and stability without depending on armed forces, including the building of a
nuclear-free zone in northeast Asia. It also urged the u.s. to
unconditionally resume the DPRK-U.S. talks and honestly implement the
DPRK-U.S. agreed framework.
��� Blasco Hugo Fernandes, vice-chairman of the International Liaison
Committee for Reunification and Peace in Korea and chairman of the
democratic intervention of Portugal, in a statement on June 14 called upon
all the world forces loving justice and peace to oppose the U.S. hostile
policy toward the DPRK and positively support the Korean nation's struggle
for reunification on the occasion of the first anniversary of the
declaration.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Indonesian embassy officials help Korean farmers
��� Pyongyang, June 21 (KCNA) -- Ambassador Buchari Effendi and officials
of the Indonesian embassy here yesterday helped the farmers of the
Korea-Indonesia Friendship Yaksu co-op Farm in weeding in a maize field.
During a break they enjoyed entertainment with farmers and talked to each
other, deepening the feelings of friendship.
��� The Indonesian guests handed their aid materials to the farm.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sinchon Museum visited by military attaches corps
��� Pyongyang, June 21 (KCNA) -- The military attaches corps here visited
the Sinchon Museum yesterday on the occasion of the "June 25, day of
struggle against U.S. imperialists." The museum situated in Sinchon county,
South Hwanghae Province, bears witness to U.S. imperialist aggression
troops' brutal mass killings of 35,000 guiltless civilians of the county or
a quarter of its population during the last Korean War.
��� Members of the corps went round exhibits at the museum and the anti-air
raid shelter of the then Sinchon county party committee, the powder store in
Wonam-ri, graves of 5,605 patriots, 400 mothers and 102 childrens, all
killed by yankees, and so on.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
S. Korean peasants call for implementation of joint declaration
��� Pyongyang, June 21 (KCNA) -- The "National Federation of Peasants
Associations" in South Korea reportedly issued a statement on June 14,
calling for the positive implementation of the June 15 North-South Joint
Declaration and the abolition of the "Security Law" on the occasion of the
first anniversary of the declaration. The federation will never pardon any
act of the united states and the anti-reunification forces to escalate the
tensions on the Korean peninsula and impair the joint declaration, the
statement said, urging the South Korean authorities to maintain an
independent position and positively turn out in the implementation of the
declaration.
��� It demanded the three ruling and opposition parties decide on the
abolition of the "Security Law" and the united states stop escalating the
tensions on the Korean peninsula.
��� The South Korean authorities should stop labelling as "enemy-benefitting
organizations" from the national alliance for the country's reunification
and the South Korean Federation of University Student Councils, it stressed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yugoslav embassy officials help Korean farmers
��� Pyongyang, June 21 (KCNA) -- Ambassador Milorad Kosovac and officials
of the Yugoslav embassy here helped members of the DPRK-Yugoslavia
Friendship Myongsok co-op Farm in Sinchon county, south hwanghae province,
yesterday in rice transplanting. They enjoyed an art performance given by
children, deepening the friendly feelings.
��� That day the Yugoslav guests delivered their aid materials to the farm.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rodong Sinmun on national self-respect
��� Pyongyang, June 21 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun today carries an editorial
article "people strong in national self-respect are invincible." National
self-respect is vital to the destiny of a nation, the article says, and
continues:
��� National self-respect is as valuable as life for a nation.
��� Human history shows that national self-respect has exerted a great
influence upon the rise and fall of a nation. this truth remains unchanged
in the 21st century, too.
��� National self-respect is essential for the existence of a nation.
��� Any nation can neither prosper nor keep its existence without national
self-respect in this world.
��� The people of small countries should be stronger in national
self-respect than others.
��� The people with national self-respect are always invincible, but without
it, they are powerless.
��� National self-respect is a powerful strength to firmly defend the
independence of a country and nation, a firm guarantee for preserving the
national character and a powerful impetus for the prosperity of a country
and nation.
��� It is the indisputably inalienable right of every nation to carve out
its destiny for itself with national self-respect.
��� National self-respect makes a small nation a strong and dignified nation
and makes a backward people the most advanced and developed people.
��� No force on earth can conquer a people strong in national self-respect.
��� National self-respect is a powerful instrument of the Korean revolution,
the article notes, and goes on:
��� The workers' party and people of Korea have traversed the most arduous
path ever in history. in shaping up the destiny of the nation there were
hard-fought wars against the imperialists, a great creation and construction
for building everything anew and a rigorous struggle for smashing the
persistent blockade by the imperialist allied forces and defending the
socialism of Korean style.
��� It is with high national self-respect that the workers' party and people
of Korea could victoriously step up the revolution and construction and
heighten the dignity and position of the country and the nation despite
immeasurable difficulties and trials.
��� National self-respect is as powerful as a nuclear weapon for the Korean
nation.
��� In covering a long path of revolution led by President Kim Il Sung and
leader Kim Jong Il, the Korean people have come to bear in mind the national
pride and self-confidence that their leader and party, ideology and system
are the best. and this was the source of national self-respect.
��� The national self-respect of the Korean people is the strong spirit of
national independence in which to carry on the revolution and construction
their own way, the spirit of uncompromising struggle which allows nobody to
toy with the dignity of the DPRK and the indomitable will with which to make
strenuous efforts to create everything faster and better than others.
��� The Korean people will more fully demonstrate their national dignity and
honour in the 21st century, too, with the great national pride of having at
the head of the revolution Kim Jong Il, a peerlessly great man in
ideological and theoretical wisdom, leadership ability and humanity.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
KCNA urges IAEA to abide by its principle of neutrality and impartiality
��� Pyongyang, June 21 (KCNA) -- The International Atomic Energy Agency
(IAEA), being an international body, is committed to abide by its principle
of neutrality and impartiality as an iron rule. however, it is creating
complexity in the way of implementing the DPRK-U.S. agreed framework,
following the U.S. administration's misguided policy towards the DPRK. A
report made by general director Baradei at the June meeting of the board of
governors of the IAEA on June 13 noted that despite the IAEA inspectors'
presence in the area of Nyongbyon, the DPRK, the organization can not verify
the correctness and completeness of the DPRK's initial report on the nuclear
material subject to safeguards agreement, adding that it proposed to start
activities as early as possible to take necessary measures as the process of
rounding off all-inclusive measures to verify the initial report on the
nuclear material is likely to take 3-4 years.
��� This is an indication that the organization is joining hostile forces in
their moves to stifle the DPRK as the proposal was made at a time when the
U.S. is calling for an early "special inspection of the nuclear-related
facilities" of the DPRK.
��� As the DPRK repeatedly stressed, the DPRK-U.S. agreed framework
stipulates that negotiations should be held with the IAEA as regards the
verification of correctness and completeness of the initial report on the
nuclear material before the delivery of the major nuclear-related parts
after the most of the lwr project has been carried out, and the safeguards
agreement be implemented.
��� But the construction of the lwr plants is too much delayed and the
groundwork has not yet started. So Baradei himself officially predicted that
the project is unlikely to be completed by 2003 but delayed until 2008.
��� Shutting its eyes to this situation, the IAEA is talking about the
verification of the initial report, an issue to be discussed after the most
of the lwr project has been carried out. this is in contravention of the
DPRK-U.S. agreed framework and an affront to the DPRK.
��� This reveals the intention of the IAEA to take the same partial step as
was done by it to adopt a "resolution" on "suspending its cooperation" with
the DPRK, demanding it open its military objects in 1994. It shows an
unprincipled behaviour of the organization prompted by the U.S. hostile
policy towards the DPRK.
��� If the organization has a true will to solve the DPRK's nuclear issue
properly, it should not make haste with the discussion of the issue related
to the verification of the initial report on the nuclear material but blame
the U.S. for the delay in the LWR project and urge it to complete the
project as scheduled.
��� The DPRK has been sincere in ensuring the IAEA's surveillance over the
DPRK's nuclear freeze in the past according to the DPRK-U.S. agreed
framework and will continue to fulfil its commitment with sincerity.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
S. Korean hospital unionists continue strike
��� Pyongyang, June 21 (KCNA) -- Hospital unionists under the medical
workers union continued the strike which started from June 13, Seoul-based
CBS reported. The trade union of the hospital attached to Seoul National
University held a rally of unionists on June 18 and went on the sixth-day
strike for vital rights.
��� That day 125 nurses walked off the job, increasing the proportion of the
unionists participating in the strike.
��� Trade unions of the hospitals attached to Chungbuk, Jeonnam and Jeonbug
national universities continued their sixth-day strike on June 18.
��� A member of the medical workers union said that unionists at hospitals
attached to universities in local areas will also continue their strikes
unless a labour-management agreement is reached at the hospital attached to
Seoul national university.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bean milk vans
��� Pyongyang, June 21 (KCNA) -- Fast running bean milk vans are catching
eyes of passers-by in Pyongyang. Called "king's vans" they carry bean milk
to the nurseries, kindergartens, primary and senior middle schools. They
also visit schoolchildren undergoing trainings in a mass-gymnastic display,
groups making study tours and even those children in hospitals at appointed
times everyday.
��� The milk supply by these vans continued even when the country was in a
difficult situation due to the imperialists' moves to isolate and stifle the
DPRK and natural disasters that lasted for several years.
��� About 10 years' supply of bean milk by these vans is associated with the
loving care of leader Kim Jong Il.
��� He took a step to instal modern equipment for bean milk production and
sent scores of vans to the production unit to ensure that children and
pupils are supplied with nutritive bean milk on a regular basis.
��� He solved all problems arising in production and supply including bean
and other materials needed for the production of scores of tons of bean milk
a day and petrol supply system.
��� These vans have the privilege to cross intersections before any other
vehicles.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hong Chang Su meets pro-boxers in Pyongyang
��� Pyongyang, June 21 (KCNA) -- Hong Chang Su, the first Korean world
pro-boxing champion in Japan on a visit to the socialist homeland, met with
pro-boxers in Pyongyang at the Pyongyang Indoor Stadium yesterday. A
congratulatory speech was made at the meeting and then, hong made a return
address.
��� He said that he visited the socialist homeland to give a report of
victory and loyalty to leader Kim Jong Il, who enabled him to emerge as the
first Korean world pro-boxing champion.
��� Although pro-boxing is my hobby, nothing has been dearer to me than the
homeland all my life, he said, adding: My fist characterized by my love of
the homeland is the fist of Korea strengthened by him to be an iron fist.
��� The floor was taken by sportsmen to evince their resolutions. Then
followed a congratulatory performance.
��� Hong and his party deepened compatriotic feelings singing songs together
with sportsmen and swapping experience.
��� A souvenir was handed to hong.
��� Hong and his party looked round an exhibition of achievements made by
DPRK sportsmen.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Overseas Koreans' functions held
��� Pyongyang, June 21 (KCNA) -- A meeting was held on June 15 under the
sponsorship of the General Association of Koreans in China and a seminar
took place on June 12 and 13 under the co-sponsorship of the society for
cooperation of compatriots in Germany and the European regional headquarters
of the National Alliance for the Country's Reunification (Pomminryon) on the
occasion of the first anniversary of the June 15 North-South Joint
Declaration. Yang Yong Dong, chairman of the association, made a report
entitled "Let us open the door of reunification by the concerted efforts of
the Korean nation under the banner of the June 15 North-South Joint
Declaration".
��� A letter to leader Kim Jong Il was adopted at the meeting.
��� At the seminar compatriots in Germany underscored the historical
significance of the Pyongyang meeting arranged thanks to Kim Jong Il's idea
of national reunification, noble patriotism and broad magnanimity and the
declaration published as its outcome.
��� A statement expressing support and solidarity to the grand seminar for
national reunification fully supported the declaration which has a
five-point milestone indicating a way for national reunification to the 70
million Koreans.

la obligacion no se puede variar por sustitucion de poder, comentario de
atcc
��� pyongyang, 21 de mayo (atcc) -- se crea una situacion critica debido a
la imposibilidad de la culminacion dentro del plazo fijado de la
construccion de los reactores de agua ligera que ee.uu. debe ofrecer a la
rpdc segun el acuerdo basico entre ambos paises. pero ee.uu. no toma la
posicion responsable. particularmente los funcionarios de la administracion
de bush profieren palabras delirantes como la "enmienda" del acuerdo basico
rpdc-ee.uu., "ofrecimiento de la planta termoelectrica" y otras cosas
similares.
��� no podemos menos que considerar graves estas palabras que insinuan que
ee.uu. se propone librarse de su responsabilidad sobre la dilacion de la
construccion de reactores de agua ligera y derogar los puntos del acuerdo
basico en cuestion. como es conocido para todos, este acuerdo basico fue
concertado por la gran decision de la rpdc de sacrificar la industria de
energia nuclear independiente.
��� si se hubieron puesto en funcionamiento los reactores moderados de
grafito con capacidades generadoras de 50 mil y 200 mil kw que debian
culminar pronto en 1994 y las plantas electricas de energia atomica llamadas
a generar cada ano centenares de miles de kw a partir de 1997 la rpdc habria
podido tener ciertamente la capacidad generadora de 2 millones kw en el ano
2003. debido a la congelacion de la industria de energia nuclear por la
ejecucion del acuerdo basico la rpdc sufrio enormes perdidas de energia
electrica y otras dificultades economicas consecutivas durante ese periodo.
��� sin embargo, ee.uu., al cabo de dilatar bajo tal o cual pretexto la
ejecucion del acuerdo basico hasta la fecha casi a 7 anos de su aprobacion
trata de eludir su responsabilidad sobre la dilacion de ofrecimiento de
reactores de agua ligera y la indemnizacion por la perdida de electricidad
consecutiva.
��� una parte debe indemnizar la perdida por el incumplimiento de su deber.
esto es una norma publicamente reconocida en las relaciones estatales. esto
no se puede variar por la sustitucion del poder.
��� el problema de reactores de agua ligera es estrictamente un producto del
acuerdo politico entre la rpdc y ee.uu.
��� el acuerdo basico esta acoplado estrictamente por las medidas de accion
simultanea: el ofrecimiento de reactores de agua ligera de ee.uu. por la
congelacion nuclear de la rpdc. ee.uu. podra saber mejor las consecuencias
que enamen de su renuncia al ofrecimiento de los reactores de agua ligera y
de su regateo del problema de compensacion sobre la perdida de energia
electrica de la rpdc.
��� no podemos estar con brazos cruzados para sufrir tal perdida.
��� ee.uu. no podra librarse jamas de su responsabilidad del ofrecimiento de
reactores de agua ligera y la indemnizacion de la perdida de energia
electrica.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
ee.uu. es pais malvadote
��� pyongyang, 21 de mayo (atcc) -- el diario "rodong sinmun" en el numero
de ayer inserto un articulo individual revelando que ee.uu. es un pais
malvadote del mundo. refiriendose a algunos indicios del "pais malvado"
enunciados por el gobierno de ee.uu. el articulo lo revela con hechos:
��� el primer indicio es el desarrollo de las armas nucleares, biologicas y
quimicas y misiles. ee.uu. es el primer pais que corresponde por entero a
este indicio. es un pais heguemonico del mundo en las armas nucleares,
biologicas y quimicas y misiles. supera considerablemente a otros paises en
la cantidad y fuerzas destructivas de estas armas. ee. uu. es un tamano
criminal que se valio de estas armas para acarrear tremendos danos a la
humanidad. es el unico pais que uso por primera vez en la historia armas
nucleares contra la humanidad en hiroshima y nagasaki. durante el periodo de
la guerra coreana trato varias veces de usarlas.
��� el segundo indicio es el "apoyo al terrorismo".
��� el departamento de estado norteamericano en el "informe anual sobre el
terrorismo" incluyo en la lista de "paises de apoyo al terrorismo" a varios
paises, pero ee.uu. es el verdadero criminal de este particular.
��� despues de la aparicion de la administracion de bush perpetro mas de una
vez incursiones aereas contra irak.
��� ee.uu. es calificado de pais malvadote del mundo por sus maniobras y
jugarretas perpetradas contra otros paises.
��� la accion militar de ee.uu. de hace dos anos contra yugoslavia
contraviene al derecho y normas de relaciones internacionales.
��� la administracion de bush dio a conocer su intento de negar la ejecucion
de "protocolo de kyoto". es una banalidad de un pais gangsteril que recurre
a todos los actos injustos para perseguir sus intereses.
��� tal arbitrariedad de ee.uu. no puede surtir efecto en el mundo.
��� la humanidad llevara sin falta a ee.uu. al juicio de la historia para
dictarle sentencia severa.
