Anniversary of repatriation of unconverted long-term prisoners to DPRK
marked
��� Pyongyang, September 2 (KCNA) -- Papers here today dedicate editorials
to the first anniversary of unconverted long-term prisoners' return to the
DPRK, the socialist homeland. The papers say that the repatriation of 63
unconverted long-term prisoners one year ago was a clear evidence of the
greatness of leader Kim Jong Il and a historic event that fully demonstrated
the might of the single-hearted unity of the leader, the party and the
masses and the advantage of Korean-style socialism of Juche. Their
repatriation was a result of Kim Jong Il's boundless love and comradely
obligation to the revolutionary soldiers and his tireless and wise
leadership, they say.
��� Rodong Sinmun says that the last one year the unconverted long-term
prisoners spent under the care of the homeland was a year of glory when they
deeply felt the honor and pride of being the soldiers of the Workers' Party
of Korea and the leader. It was also a year of happiness when they enjoyed
genuine human life to their heart's content under the deep solicitude of the
party and the leader, it notes, and goes on:
��� The unconverted long-term prisoners are men of faith and indomitable
fighters who kept their pledge to the WPK and the homeland to the last
despite the sufferings beyond human imagination.
��� They remained true to the cause of national reunification with optimism
and confidence in its victory.
��� Indeed, it is the great pride and happiness of the WPK and the nation to
have such men of faith and indomitable patriotic fighters.
��� Minju Joson says that the immortal exploits of Kim Jong Il who realized
the group repatriation of the unconverted long-term prisoners will be handed
down forever with the history of the nation.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kim Jong Il's work published in India
��� Pyongyang, September 2 (KCNA) -- Leader Kim Jong Il's famous work
"Socialism is a Science" was published in booklet by the All India
Indo-Korean Friendship Association on August 30. The work released on Nov.
1, Juche 83 (1994) clarifies that people-centered socialism is the most
scientific, advantageous and powerful socialism and that socialism is sure
to win for its scientific accuracy and truthfulness.

DPRK marathoner comes first
��� Pyongyang, September 2 (KCNA) -- DPRK woman marathoner Ham Pong Sil
came first in the women half-marathon race of the 21st World Universiad held
in Beijing yesterday. Kim Chang Ok took the third place in the same race.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Preview of multi-part feature film "The Nation and Destiny" part 55 held
��� Pyongyang, September 2 (KCNA) -- The Korean Film Studio recently
produced part 4 of "Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow," part 55 of the
multi-part feature film "The Nation and Destiny." The film shows that the
revolutionary faith is an important matter decisive of the coordinates of
the human life. A preview of this film was held at the people's palace of
culture yesterday.
��� The film teaches that the outlook on happiness of people in the present
era lies in their devoted service not for today but for tomorrow when the
country will prosper. It also stresses that the revolutionary faith and
conscience should be kept to the last under any conditions.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
U.S. hard-line policy flailed
��� Pyongyang, September 2 (KCNA) --It is foolish of the United States to
try to stifle the DPRK with its hard-line policy, says Rodong Sinmun today
in a signed article. It says:
��� The U.S. is working hard to isolate the DPRK under the pretext of
"military threat" and "missile threat" from the DPRK and "threat" from its
conventional forces after terming it "no. 1 enemy." but this is a folly.
��� The Bush group is in utter ignorance of the stand, strength and will of
the DPRK.
��� The Korean people never allow anyone to infringe upon their national
self-respect.
��� The U.S. drank bitter cups in confrontation with the DPRK in the past.
It was the DPRK which won victory in the Korean War launched by the U.S.
imperialists in the 1950s.
��� In the 1990s, too, the U.S. was defeated in confrontation with the DPRK.
��� The DPRK reacted to the U.S. frantic nuclear blackmail and war moves
with a super hard-line stand. It dealt a heavy blow to the U.S. and its
followers by taking such countermeasures for self-defence as withdrawing
from the nuclear non-proliferation treaty and declaring a semi-war state.
��� The DPRK defended the dignity of the nation and socialism in this
confrontation.
��� The DPRK has become a powerful country which the U.S. dare not provoke
and the U.S. lost its face before the international community.
��� The U.S. failed in its policy to stifle the DPRK.
��� When the 20th century was drawing to its end, the Clinton
administration, though belatedly, recognized the system in the DPRK and
buckled down to the work to improve relations with it.
��� It is a lesson drawn by the Clinton administration that the U.S. can
never stifle the DPRK and such a suffocation policy will place the U.S. in a
perilous position.
��� The Bush administration is well advised to draw a proper lesson from it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
U.S. attempt to set up new military bloc assailed
��� Pyongyang, September 2 (KCNA) -- The United States is pushing forward
with its moves to establish a new "security organization" of military bloc
type while strengthening close military cooperation with its allies. in this
regard Rodong Sinmun today in a signed commentary says: It is the U.S.
strategic attempt to set up a new "security organization" of NATO type in
the Asia-Pacific region and put Asia under its military control with the
organization as a lever.
��� By tightening a military nexus with Japan and South Korea and staging
joint military exercises with them the U.S. seeks to strengthen a triangular
military alliance and rally other Asian countries around it and thus
organize NATO of Asian version. All U.S. military actions, its moves for the
military nexus and bilateral and multilateral joint military exercises in
areas around the Korean peninsula and in the Asia-Pacific region are
prompted by its strategy of aggression and domination to establish its
hegemonism in the region.
��� The U.S. had once organized a military bloc for aggression in Asia only
to dismantle it in face of strong protest and denunciation by Asian
countries against it.
��� The trend of the present times is peace, progress and prosperity, not
confrontation and aggravation of tensions.
��� Anyone who goes against this trend is bound to be forsaken by history.
��� The U.S. tries to set up a new military bloc in the Asia-Pacific region
and put the region under its control with military strength. But it is as
foolhardy as trying to revert the trend of history. What is more powerful
and mightier than weapon is the strength of the popular masses advancing the
history.
��� The Asian people will never allow the U.S. to frame up a structure of
confrontation in the vast Asian continent advancing toward a bright future
and bring a black cloud of war to it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Resumption of north-south dialogue proposed
��� Pyongyang, September 2 (KCNA) -- Rim Tong Ok, vice-chairman of the
DPRK's Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of the Fatherland, today
sent a message to Rim Tong Won, minister of unification of South Korea,
proposing to resume north-south dialogue between authorities at an early
date. The historic June 15 North-South Joint Declaration is a valuable
treasure of the nation which gives impetus to the improvement of north-south
relations as a whole and the reunification of the country, the message said,
and went on:
��� The north and south have opened a broad avenue for reconciliation, unity
and reunification by the concerted efforts of the Korean nation in the
spirit of the joint declaration.
��� The joint declaration, a landmark of reunification reflecting the desire
of the nation, has enjoyed positive support and welcome from people at home
and abroad as the days go by and the will of the countrymen to fully carry
it out at any cost is getting stronger.
��� The August 15 grand national festival for reunification recently held in
Pyongyang more clearly confirmed this.
��� The north side, representing the will of all the countrymen, proposes an
immediate resumption of north-south dialogue between authorities in the
spirit of the joint declaration.

��� pyongyang, 2 de febrero (atcc) -- hoy es el dia mundial del terreno

labores para la proteccion de los terrenos humedos.
��� se efectuan en distintas formas las labores de divulgacion de

��� los terrenos humedos se encuentran en extensas zonas de corea desde las
costas de los mares este y oeste de corea hasta las areas elevadas de mas de
1 000 metros sobre el nivel del mar. habitan alli mas de 430 variedades de
68 familias de plantas.
��� las caracteristicas ecologicas de los terrenos humedos de corea son las
marismas, turbales, cienagas en las corrientes abajo de los rios, lagos y
lagunas que sirven de lugares de paso, descanso y de invernar para las aves
migratorias raras.
��� decenas de variedades de rayuelos que invernan en oceania y paren en el
circulo polar artico casi en su totalidad pasan por las costas de los mares
este y oeste de corea.
��� la bahia de taedong, ongjin y kangryong en la costa occidental y la zona

ilusion anacronica de japon
��� pyongyang, 2 de febrero (atcc) -- el diario "rodong sinmun" en el
numero de hoy inserto un articulo para comentar el hecho de que desde el
comienzo de ano nuevo el japon adula a ee.uu. a fin de hacerse miembro
permanente del consejo de seguridad de la onu. el comentario senala:
��� hace unos dias, el hombre en autoridad diplomatica del japon en una
conversacion con el secretario de estado norteamericano sostenida durante su
visita a ee.uu. le dio a conocer la posicion de su pais sobre la reforma del
consejo de seguridad de la onu y le solicito la cooperacion para que su pais
se haga miembro permanente de este consejo.
��� tambien el hombre en autoridad suprema del japon durante su visita
programada a ee. uu. solicitara a la nueva administracion de ee.uu. la
cooperacion del particular, segun trascendio.
��� esta humillante peticion de las autoridades japonesas parte de la
verdadera intencion de su pais de perseguir sus intereses llevando a cuestas
a la gran potencia.
��� el japon pretende hacerse miembro permanente del consejo de seguridad de
la onu no para lograr la paz, la estabilidad y el desarrollo del mundo sino
para ocupar la posicion de la potencia politica, utilizar la autoridad del
pais miembro permanente y actuar como "superpotencia" dominando a otros
paises.
��� ya ha pasado aquella epoca en que un pais determinado manejaba
arbitrariamente la politica mundial y el problema internacional. la
equitativa opinion publica considera que para propiciar la discusion y
solucion equitativas de los importantes problemas de la politica
internacional los paises con un propio criterio, juicio y derecho a
pronunciar y otros en vias de desarrollo deben ocupar la posicion del
miembro permanente.
��� nadie puede apoyar el japon que desarrolla la humillante diplomacia de
peticion sin criterio ni independencia.
��� el japon tiene las cosas a cumplir ahora mismo antes de sonar con el
puesto del pais miembro permanente del consejo de seguridad de la onu. hay
orden de prioridades en todas las cosas. ante todo las autoridades japonesas
deben liquidar su pasado lleno de crimenes y esforzarse por ganar la
confianza internacional.

sofisteria para encubrir ambicion dominacionista, comentario de atcc
��� pyongyang, 2 de agosto (atcc) -- en una reunion ministerial anual entre
ee.uu. y australia, powel, secretario de estado norteamericano dijo: "el
plan de defensa antimisil de ee.uu. tiene por blanco no a rusia y china,
sino a los estados que traten de proveer de armas de exterminio masivo.". e
indico a la republica popular democratica de corea y otros como paises con
gran posibilidad de poseer tales armas y misiles portadores.
��� el objetivo con que powel difunde rumores de "amenaza de norcorea"
durante su visita a otros paises reside en desviar el foco de la censura y
repudio de la sociedad internacional a las maniobras de la administracion de
bush encaminadas a establecer el aventurero sistema de "defensa antimisil".
��� la "amenaza de misiles" por la rpdc de que habla estados unidos carece
de fundamento y no pasa de ser una sofisteria para encubrir su ambicion
dominacionista.
��� nuestro programa de misiles reviste enteramente un caracter pacifico y
no amenaza a nadie. al mismo tiempo es nuestro legitimo derecho
independiente porque estamos en estado de beligerancia con ee.uu. que se
jacta de la "unica superpotencia" del mundo.
��� ee.uu. realizo la prueba de interceptacion de misil, renunciada por la
administracion anterior. esta vez, acusandonos abiertamente, nos amenazo con
declarar que "su red de defensa antimisil" sera esgrimida contra la rpdc.
esto demuestra que ee.uu. es el mas monstruoso imperio gangsteril.
��� responder con la sobredureza a la dureza de ee.uu. es la invariable
posicion de la rpdc y el temperamento revolucionario de su ejercito y
pueblo.
��� ee.uu. dirige una falaz mirada amorosa a las potencias y acusa a los
paises pequenos tratando de lograr su ambicion de heguemonia mundial. pero
con tal sutileza no podra convencer a nadie.
��� nuestro ejercito y pueblo no tolerara jamas el brutal desafio de ee.uu.
sino le respondera con el mayor fortalecimiento de la capacidad de
autodefensa nacional.
��� ee.uu. debe distinguir correctamente la situacion y actuar con sensatez.
