Cuban embassy officials help Korean farmers
��� 1 (KCNA) -- Cuban ambassador to Korea Esteban Lobaina Romero and
embassy officials yesterday gave helping hands to the Korea-Cuba friendship
stock farm managed by ri hong sop on the conclusion of the month of
solidarity with the Cuban people. Present there were Kim Myong Vhol,
vice-chairman of the c.c., the Union of Agricultural Workers of Korea, and
officials concerned.
��� After being briefed on the history of the stock farm, the guests saw
round its facilities and worked with its members.
��� During a break the guests talked with them, deepening friendly feelings.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aerial espionage on over 130 occasions
��� Pyongyang, August 1 (KCNA) -- The U.S. imperialists committed aerial
espionage against the DPRK by strategic and tactical reconnaissance planes
of different missions on over 130 occasions in July, according to military
sources. Espionage by U-2 high-altitude strategic reconnaissance aircraft
numbered at least 30 and espionage by reconnaissance planes of various kinds
from overseas bases more than 10.
��� The U.S. imperialists mobilized 3 or 4 South Korea-based RC-12 and RC-7B
tactical reconnaissance planes on a daily average to spy on the front line
area and the east and west coasts.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
KCNA on U.S. challenge to DPRK
��� Pyongyang, August 1 (KCNA) -- The Bush administration is becoming
undisguised in fanning up enmity against the DPRK as part of its anti-DPRK
smear campaign even after it announced the "resumption of dialogue with the
DPRK". U.S. deputy defense secretary Wolfwitz in a CNN appearance on July 28
asserted that the United States is exposed to the potential threat of North
Korea's conventional weapons, noting that North Korea and Iraq will be the
greatest military threat to the U.S. in the future.
��� His remarks go to prove that the Korean peninsula has been chosen as a
main target of the U.S. new military strategy and the U.S. is keen to invent
a pretext, to launch an operation after making the outbreak of another
Korean war a fait accompli. they also suggest that the U.S. moves to stifle
the DPRK will be invariably pushed forward in the future as its strategic
target.
��� The United States is seeking a sinister political and military aim in
projecting the DPRK as the "greatest military threat" before the
international community.
��� Following its military action against Iraq, the United States chose the
Korean peninsula as a target of its new military policy calling for the use
of armed forces abroad to meet the national interests of the United States.
��� It is universally recognized that the story about "threat from North
Korea," which is possible start of a war by North Korea, is a sheer fiction
and it is needed for carrying out its strategy for world domination.
��� The United States' aim is to establish the internally and internally
censured "Missile Defense" system under the pretext of the "greatest
military threat" from the DPRK and, furthermore, to launch another local war
to meet the interests of U.S. munitions monopolies.
��� The U.S. clamour about "threat of conventional weapons" of the DPRK is
no more than a pretext to put its new war scenario into practice.
��� It is preposterous for the U.S. to talk about this "threat" and it is
another outrageous challenge to the DPRK. The United States should
immediately stop its base moves to provoke a war of aggression under the
pretext of the DPRK's armed forces for self-defence and bear deep in mind
that its hostile policy towards the DPRK will bring it to nowhere.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Japan accused of peddling "abduction" issue
��� Pyongyang, August 1 (KCNA) -- At a g-8 foreign ministerial meeting held
in Europe some time ago, Japans top diplomat raised an issue of "Japanese
kidnapped" by the DPRK. Commenting on it, Rodong Sinmun today says:
��� As a diplomatic boss of Japan, she should be prudent and honest in her
action and speech and responsible for them, pondering over the consequences
to be entailed by them.
��� We have already told Japan at past bilateral talks and on other
occasions that the DPRK has nothing to do with any "abduction", and urged it
to produce evidence. This was sufficient enough for it to understand the
matter. But Tokyo failed to do so.
��� Such being the case, Japan is still persisting in the "suspected
abduction" issue and now peddling it to European countries. It is dirty and
foolish of Japan to do so.
��� In fact, Japan is very annoyed at the opening of diplomatic ties between
the DPRK and EU and the relations of friendship and cooperation developing
between the DPRK and European countries. It must be perplexed and
disgraceful because as a geographically closest country, it stood before
other nations in having negotiations with the DPRK for improved relations
but it is now lagging behind others. It is entirely to blame for it.
��� Japan can get nothing from its peddling such issue, which will only
further cool down the DPRK-Japan relations.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Minju Joson on scientific exposition of root cause of Koreas division
��� Pyongyang, August 1 (KCNA) -- Minju Joson yesterday carried a signed
article on President Kim Il Sung's irrefutable clarification that it is the
U.S. imperialists who divided Korea. The division of Korea was not caused by
the contradiction within the nation, the article said, and went on:
��� This is proved by the fact that delegates of the nation were absent at
the international conference of the countries concerned which dealt with the
Korean issue.
��� Originally, Korea neither invaded other country nor was defeated.
��� The Korean nation achieved the liberation of the country by itself.
therefore, there was neither reason nor pretext for the allied powers to
make the Korean issue an object of post-war settlement.
��� The president made it clear that the U.S. imperialists have long pursued
the policy of aggression on Korea and they framed up a crafty "proposal for
dividing Korea with the 38th parallel as a demarcation line" after the
second world war and illegally occupied South Korea.
��� The Korean people's revolutionary army and the former soviet army
launched a general offensive on August 9, Juche 34 (1945) and advanced into
Korea, breaking through the fortresses of the Japanese imperialists.
��� But by that time the U.S. troops were in Okinawa and the Philippines.
Accordingly, the U.S. imperialists had neither time nor ability to set foot
in any part of Korea.
��� That was why they imminently had a confab to occupy any region of Korea,
ordered by U.S. President Truman. At the confab the U.S. troops were
unilaterally entrusted to disarm the Japanese army in the area south of the
38th parallel of north latitude. And the written proposal was unilaterally
communicated to other allied powers.
��� On this basis the U.S imperialists landed in South Korea on September 8,
nearly one month after the defeat of the Japanese imperialists.
��� The U.S. imperialists renamed the Korean government-general of the
Japanese imperialists the "U.S. military government" and enforced a
"military rule" in South Korea. Under the U.S. "military government" the
people's committees organized on the initiative of the people were forcibly
dissolved and transport and communications between the north and south were
cut by the boundary of the 38th parallel.
��� They illegally brought the Korean issue to the U.N. and forced a
"separate election" upon South Korea to set up a pro-American "separate
government" there under the signboard of the U.N. and divide Korea
artificially.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
One more ancient mural tomb unearthed
��� Pyongyang, August 1 (KCNA) -- Recently Korean archeologists succeeded
in discovering mural tomb in Thaesong-ri, Kangso district, Nampho. The tomb
is believed to belong to the period of Koguryo. This is named "Tomb No.3 in
Thaesong-ri".
��� The tomb is a typical tomb built with stone and covered with earth
belonging to the period of Koguryo (277 B.C.- 668 A.D.)
��� The tomb is square at its bottom and round from it to its top. One side
of its bottom is 32 m long.
��� An entrance to the tomb is on its south side.
��� The tomb divided into several rooms covers 38.68 square meters.
��� Walls of a room where there is an entrance are made up of layers of
plain rocks that are plastered several times while those of other rooms are
made up of huge granite.
��� Murals are painted on the right and left walls of the first room, on its
ceiling and on stone walls in other rooms. Foreign aggressors robbed the
tomb of its valuables several times.
��� Their walls and ceilings were severely destroyed in particular.
��� As a result, only an image of a person and patterns on the mural
painting on the western wall of the first room remain slightly recognizable.
��� Unearthed in the tomb were gold ornaments, jewelry, bronze bracelet,
glazed pottery and many pieces of pottery, coffin nails and other relics.
��� According to archeologists, structure, building materials and relics
inside the tomb prove that it is a king-level tomb belonging to the period
from early to the middle of the 4th century.
��� The tomb is drawing a keen interest of historians.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Swiss National Day observed
��� Pyongyang, August 1 (KCNA) -- Papers here today dedicate signed
articles to the national day of the Swiss confederation. A signed article of
Rodong Sinmun says that the DPRK's government established good neighbor and
friendly relationship with those countries that respect the DPRK's
sovereignty and are friendly towards it though they have political views and
social systems different from DPRK's and has developed exchange and
cooperation with them and Switzerland is one of those countries.
��� It goes on:
��� Exchange and cooperation have developed on good terms between the DPRK
and Switzerland. It meets with the interests of the peoples of the two
countries and is good for the development of relations between the DPRK and
European countries.
��� Switzerland is striving to achieve political stability and economic
development to meet new circumstances and conditions of the new century.
��� The DPRK believes that the relations between the DPRK and Switzerland
will develop favorably in the future, too, in the idea of independence,
peace and friendship. Extending congratulations to the Swiss people on the
national day the DPRK wishes them a new development in their lives, the
article adds.

Paek Nam Sun meets Czech ambassador
��� Pyongyang, August 1 (KCNA) -- Paek Nam Sun, foreign minister of the
DPRK, met and had a talk with Czech ambassador to the DPRK Alexander Karych
who paid a farewell call on him today.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Talks held between DPRK and Nigerian parliamentary delegations
��� Pyongyang, August 1 (KCNA) -- Talks between the delegation of the
Supreme People's Assembly of the DPRK and the Nigerian parliamentary
delegation were held at the Mansudae Assembly Hall today. At the talks the
two sides informed each other of the situation in their countries and
exchanged views on the development of friendly and cooperative relations
between the two parliaments and a series of matters of common concern.
��� Present at the talks were chairman of the SPA Choe Thae Bok and other
officials concerned, members of the Nigerian delegation headed by Anyim Pius
Anyim, President of the senate, and Alhaji Daudu Sulaiman, Nigerian
ambassador to the DPRK.
��� The talks proceeded in a friendly atmosphere.

espionajes aereos de imperialistas yankis
��� pyongyang, el primero de mayo (atcc) -- segun una fuente militar, en

mala costumbre inveterada de japon resucita -comentario de atcc-
��� pyongyang, el primero de mayo (atcc) -- resucita la mala costumbre
inveterada del japon que ha venido ocultando la naturaleza criminal llena de
intrigas y maquiavelismo. recientemente el gobierno japones recurre al acto
imprudente para acusar arbitrariamente a la rpdc incluso en la "carta azul
de diplomacia para el ano 2000" al cabo de tramar intrigas rutinarias: envia
los supuestos familiares de las "victimas de secuestro" a la comision de los
derechos humanos de la onu para solicitarle socorro y descubrio objeto que
muestra la posibilidad de la "penetracion en la costera japonesa de agente
de norcorea".
��� esto es un juego politico premeditado con el fin de echar la base de la
nueva agresion a corea al convertir el danador en el danado. es decir, eso
es para ejercer el derecho a la autodefensa colectiva y perfeccionar la "ley
en el caso de emergencia" dirigidos a desatar la segunda guerra coreana
pretextando los casos del supuesto "secuestro" y la "penetracion de agente
de norcorea" y para dar impulso a la conversion del japon en una potencia
militar mediante la intensificacion de la alianza militar entre el japon y
ee. uu.
��� con la aprobacion de la ley referida a la "guia de cooperacion de
defensa japon - ee.uu. aquel ha recorrido hasta ahora por el camino de su
conversion en la potencia militar modificando poco a poco la "constitucion
de paz" que estipula el principio de la renuncia de la guerra y defensa
especializada".
��� la conversion del japon en una potencia militar y su militarizacion
marchan rumbo a hacerlas politicas poco a poco rebasando ya la etapa de
discusion.
��� al realizarse eso el japon tomara sin duda alguna el camino de la
expansion al ultramar, lo cual testimonian los hechos historicos del japon.
��� los politicastros japoneses deben dejar de recurrir a las maquinaciones
para ejercer el derecho a la autodefensa colectiva y perfeccionar la "ley en
el caso de emergencia" que llevaran el japon a la ruina y deben saldar clara
cuenta de la liquidacion de su pasado. hacerlo asi sera bueno para el mimo
japon.
