Friendship gathering with Lao youth delegation
��� Pyongyang, August 30 (KCNA) -- A friendship gathering with members of a
delegation of the Lao People's Revolutionary Youth Union was held at the
Taedonggang Club for the diplomatic corps yesterday. Present on invitation
were members of the delegation of the Lao People's Revolutionary Youth union
led by first secretary of its central committee Bounpone Bouttanavong who is
chairman of the Laos-Korea Friendship Association.
��� The gathering was attended by Mun Jae Chol, acting chairman of the
Korean Committee for Cultural Relations with Foreign Countries who is
chairman of the Korea-Laos Friendship Association, and officials concerned.
��� Participants in the gathering talked to each other about further
development of the friendly ties between the two peoples before enjoying an

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chief of Pyongyang mission of NDFSK interviewed
��� Pyongyang, August 30 (KCNA) -- Pak Kwang Gi, chief of the Pyongyang
mission of the National Democratic Front of South Korea, had an interview
with KCNA on Wednesday as regards the fact that participants in the 2001
Grand Festival for National Reunification are being called into question in
South Korea. Activities of personages who visited the north for August 15
Pyongyang Grand Festival for Reunification are being called into question in
South Korea, the chief said, and went on:
��� This strange racket is the last-ditch effort of anti-reunification
elements and traitors who regard the reconciliation, unity and reunification
of the nation as a thorn in the flesh. It is an intolerable challenge to the
June 15 joint declaration.
��� Lurking behind the foolish act of the Ri Hoe Chang group is an ulterior
intention to lock the door of south-north non-governmental contacts,
dialogue and interchange, revive the authorities-led "unified channel" of
dialogue which was already rejected and reduce the June 15 joint declaration
to a mere name.
��� The chief called for making no slightest compromise with those who
disturb the implementation of the June 15 joint declaration and ostracizing
Ri Hoe Chang with uncompromising and bold resolution.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anniversary of non-aligned movement marked
��� Pyongyang, August 30 (KCNA) -- The DPRK Foreign Ministry hosted a

years the NAM has grown into a powerful anti-imperialist independent force

creditably discharge its noble mission and duty for the times and history in
the new century, too.
��� The DPRK government and people will as always remain faithful to the
basic idea and objective of the NAM and do their best to build an
independent, peaceful and prosperous, new world under the wise leadership of
Kim Jong Il, he said.
��� Then, speeches were made at the reception by ambassadors of Palestine,
Indonesia, India, Egypt, Cambodia and Yugoslavia.
��� The speakers expressed most heartfelt thanks and deepest respects to
President Kim Il Sung, the immortal leader, remembering in humble reverence
him who made great efforts for the strengthening and development of the NAM.
��� They said the NAM, whose basic aim is to oppose colonialism and
imperialism and defend the territorial integrity, independence and peace of
each country, is a powerful and durable force that dynamically propels the
development of the present era.
��� They stressed Kim Jong Il, the great leader of the fraternal Korean
people, pays deep attention to the NAM so that it can continue to play its
constructive role.
��� They hoped that all the NAM member nations would unite with each other
to defend and develop this movement in the interests of each nation.

Teachers for the Study of the Juche Idea, a national meeting for exchange to
strengthen Japan-Korea friendship, was held in Hiroshima on August 26. Tadao
Oishi, secretary general of the liaison council of societies of Japanese
teachers for the study of the Juche idea, in a report at the meeting said

U.S. hard-line policy under fire
��� Pyongyang, August 30 (KCNA) -- The international community and world
peace and stability remain disturbed due to the u.s. hard-line policy, says
Rodong Sinmun today in a signed article. It goes on:
��� The extremely adventurous policy pursued by the bush administration
since its emergence is to maintain its position as the world's only
superpower and control the world as it pleases.
��� But its hard-line policy and hegemonism are rebuffed and opposed
worldwide and have thrown Washington into a quagmire.
��� Russia warned that it would take a strong counter-measure against the
U.S. moves to establish the Missile Defense system (MD) which might spark a
global nuclear arms race.
��� Many countries including china dismissed MD as unreasonable and
dangerous and are opposed to it.
��� Even the U.S. allies advised Washington to think twice over MD when they
were requested to support it, clarifying their view that it lacks reason to
convince the world.
��� The U.S. hard-line policy is the desperate effort of the weak.
��� It is quite clear that the hard-line policy of the Bush administration
will throw it into a bottomless quagmire.
