------------------------------------------------------------------------

��� Pyongyang, June 25 (KCNA) -- Kim Yong Nam, President of the presidium
of the DPRK Supreme People's Assembly, sent a message of greetings to Grand
Duke Jean on June 21 on the occasion of the National Day of Luxemburg. In
the message Kim warmly congratulated the Grand Duke and the people of
Luxemburg on their National Day.
��� Expressing the belief that the friendly and cooperative relations
between the two countries would expand and develop in various fields, the
message sincerely wished the Grand Duke great success in his work.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Intensified anti-U.S. resistance called for
��� Pyongyang, June 25 (KCNA) -- The central committee of the National
Democratic Front of South Korea (NDFSK) released a statement on Saturday as
regards the lapse of 51 years since the U.S. imperialists provoked the
Korean War of aggression, Seoul-based radio Voice of National Salvation
reported. The statement said the June 25 war unleashed by the U.S.
imperialists was the most shameless and brigandish war of aggression and the
most criminal and barbarous war in the world history of war.
��� Instead of drawing a due lesson from it and withdrawing its aggression
forces from South Korea, the United States has committed shocking criminal
atrocities against the Korean people, the statement recalled, and said:
��� The U.S. should properly understand the steadfast anti-U.S. will of the
Korean people and immediately withdraw its troops from South Korea since
there is no ground for their presence.
��� With the U.S. imperialist aggression forces left intact in this land, is
it impossible to expect sovereignty, the life and soul of our people,
democracy and civil rights, the elementary human rights, and the national
reunification, their cherished desire.
��� The people from all walks of life should intensify the anti-U.S.
resistance across South Korea to drive out the U.S. aggression forces, a
root cause of all evils.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
KCNA on Japan's attitude toward settlement of past
��� Pyongyang, June 25 (KCNA) -- The German government has reportedly begun
to pay compensation to those who were forced to do slave labour by Nazism
during world war II. The payment was approved after groups of victims of
Nazism filed suits in U.S. federal district courts against forced labour.
The government and business of Germany alloted over 10 billion mark for such
payment.
��� This positive development shows the determination of the German
government to urgently settle the compensation issue on the principles of
international law and humanitarianism.
��� But, Japan's attitude is quite different from Germany's though similar
lawsuits were brought to U.S. federal district courts by former "comfort
women for the imperial Japanese army."
��� The Japanese authorities have lavished money and raised unreasonable
conditions one after another to turn down those lawsuits, taking the public
by surprise. They are lost to shame.
��� The crime related to the issue of "comfort women for the Japanese army"
is so shameless and hideous crime against humanity that it is hardly
comparable to the forced labour.
��� Before their defeat in the war, the Japanese imperialists killed or
buried alive most of more than 200,000 Asian women, mainly Koreans, who were
forced into sexual slavery, to destroy evidence proving their crimes.
��� Such disgraceful history of shocking atrocities can neither be erased
nor denied.
��� However, the Japanese authorities are seeking to hush up this case.
��� The facts prove that Japan is a morally vulgar and shameless, abnormal
country, which can never be recognized by the international community.
��� Japan can become a member of the international community only when it
makes full compensation for forcing over six million young and middle aged
Koreans to do mediaeval slave labour, as well as for the crime related to
the "comfort women for the Japanese army" on the principle of international
law.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
KPA soldiers condemn U.S. aggressors
��� Pyongyang, June 25 (KCNA) --Yyoung soldiers of the Korean people's army
held an oratorical contest in chestnut valley, Wonam-ri of Sinchon county,
South Hwanghae Province, on Sunday on the occasion of the "June 25, the day
of struggle against the U.S. imperialists". The participants in the contest
denounced the U.S. imperialist aggressors for provoking the Korean war on
June 25, 1950 and brutally murdering innocent people by the most barbarous
methods.
��� Though nearly 50 years have passed since the ceasefire, the aggressive
and predatory nature of the U.S. imperialists remains unchanged, they noted,
adding that they were making desperate efforts to stifle the Korean
socialist system by pursuing a "hardline policy".
��� The Korean People's Army, fully ready to go into action under the
distinguished army-first leadership of its supreme commander Kim Jong Il,
will hold more tightly rifles in hands to fight decisive battles to wipe out
the enemy, the U.S. imperialists, they stressed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anti-U.S. education in DPRK
��� Pyongyang, June 25 (KCNA) -- Anti-U.S. education through evidence
showing GIs' atrocities is being intensified in the DPRK. The U.S.
imperialists are the sworn enemy of the Korean people. Their aggressive and
bestial nature will never change. Down with the U.S. imperialist aggressors,
the sworn enemy of the Korean people these are the main content of the class
education intensified among the working people and school youth and children
in the country.
��� Visits to the Sinchon Museum, the spy ship "Pueblo," the victorious
Fatherland Liberation War Museum and other halls for class education have
become more brisk on the occasion of "June 25, the day of struggle against
the U.S. imperialists."
��� The Sinchon Museum bears witness to GIs' shocking mass killings of
civilians.
��� Displayed there are materials and other evidence showing the invasion of
Korea by the U.S. imperialists from more than a hundred years ago and mass
killings committed by GIs during their temporary occupation of Sinchon
during the last Korean War. A lot of weapons used by them in killing
civilians are also on display there. They killed more than 35,000 peaceable
inhabitants including children, women and the aged in Sinchon county or a
quarter of its population during 50-odd days of their occupation.
��� Halls for class education in different parts of the country help people
know well about the crimes committed by the U.S. imperialists in Korea.
��� The U.S. imperialists' armed spy ship "Pueblo" which was captured in
January Juche 57 (1968) while committing espionage in the territorial waters
of the DPRK is being used as a centre for anti-U.S. education.
��� Visits to the victorious Fatherland Liberation War museum and a fine art
exhibition also help people know well about the brutal, crafty and ferocious
nature of the U.S. imperialists.
��� Meetings held to hear eyewitnesses' accounts of GIs' atrocities convince
people that the U.S. imperialists are the sworn enemy of the Korean people.
��� All the Koreans are strongly denouncing the U.S. imperialists as
provokers of the Korean War, the root cause of national division, harasser
of peace and the sworn enemy.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Book "Cheers in June" popular in S. Korea
��� Pyongyang, June 25 (KCNA) -- A book "Cheers in June" is very popular
among people in Jonju, North Jolla Province of South Korea, according to the
Seoul-based radio Voice of National Salvation. The book published on the
occasion of the first anniversary of the historic Pyongyang meeting and the
June 15 Joint Declaration has two chapters. The book carries pictures of
leader Kim Jong Il taken during the Pyongyang meeting and legend-like
stories told by South Korean people in profound reverence for him.
��� The book in its preface says that June will always be remembered by the
fellow countrymen and humankind as a month when they came to know better
about the peerlessly great man and as a month that produced new legends of
high praises of the great man.

Rodong Sinmun calls for decisively shattering U.S. moves for new war
��� Pyongyang, June 25 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun carries an editorial today,
51 years since the U.S. imperialists ignited a war of aggression against the
DPRK. The Korean War unleashed by them was the most shameless and brigandish
war of aggression to make the whole of Korea a colony and, furthermore,
dominate Asia and the rest of the world and a barbaric war unprecedented in
the history of war, the editorial says, and goes on:
��� The Korean peninsula is still in the unstable state of ceasefire owing
to the U.S. imperialists.
��� Their moves for confrontation with the DPRK and a new war are becoming
all the more undisguised and desperate after the emergence of the Bush
administration.
��� In order to shatter these moves, it is necessary to uphold leader Kim
Jong Il's army-first leadership, army-first politics, with loyalty.
��� This leadership and politics of the Workers' Party of Korea provides a
sure guarantee for protecting the dignity, sovereignty and peace of the
country and the nation from the U.S. imperialists' aggression.
��� Singlehearted unity is the source of strength to frustrate these moves.
��� The harder they work for such moves, the more firmly all the party
members and other working people should unite around Kim Jong Il. They
should heighten vigilance against the U.S. imperialists' moves for
aggression. They should always keep themselves in an alerted and mobilized
posture, aware that the U.S. imperialists may ignite a war against the DPRK
any moment.
��� If they provoke another Korean war, all the party members and other
working people will fight like a-match-for-a-hundred fighters to mercilessly
wipe out the aggressors and achieve the national reunification, their
historic desire.
��� The editorial underscored the need to expose and denounce all the
treacherous forces of the nation standing in the way of implementing the
June 15 North-South Joint Declaration and deal a telling blow to them by the
concerted efforts of the pro-reunification patriotic forces.
��� The U.S. should honestly fulfil its commitments and duties, make a
radical switchover in its anachronistic hostile policy toward the DPRK and
withdraw its troops from South Korea without delay, the editorial concludes.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kimjongilia show in China
��� Beijing, June 23 (KCNA) -- A Kimjongilia show was held in a flower

the central committee of the Workers' Party of Korea. The deputy secretary
general of the Liaoning Provincial Flower Association said in his opening
address that Kimjongilia is widely known not only to the people in Liaoning
province but to all the Chinese and many people are struck with admiration
at the beauty of the flower.
��� He expressed the hope that the show would mark a good occasion to boost

name of Kim Jong Il. The show evoked a lively response among visitors.
