Gold medal and honorary diploma to Kim Il Sung
��� Pyongyang, September 8 (KCNA) -- A gold medal and an honorary diploma
were sent to President Kim Il Sung by the institute for the fidelity in the
work of France in the run-up to the 53rd anniversary of the DPRK. The gold
medal and honorary diploma were conveyed to an official concerned by Patrick
Brunot, chairman of the Institute for the Fidelity in the Work of France who
is a French delegate for the study of the Juche idea, on a visit to Korea.
��� The chairman said that the immortal feats performed by Kim Il Sung on
behalf of humankind will remain long in the hearts of the world progressives
struggling for independence, guided by the Juche idea.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gold medal and honorary diploma to Kim Jong Il
��� Pyongyang, September 8 (KCNA) -- A gold medal and honorary diploma were
sent to leader Kim Jong Il by the Institute for the Fidelity in the Work of
France in the countdown to the 53rd anniversary of the DPRK. The gold medal
and honorary diploma were conveyed to an official concerned by Patrick
Brunot, chairman of the Institute for the Fidelity in the Work of France who
is a French delegate for the study of the Juche idea, on a visit to Korea.
��� On the occasion the chairman said Kim jong Il is a leader and a
standard-bearer of struggle to realize independence of humankind. His
international prestige is the source of more world focus and expectations of
Korea.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
KCNA on U.S. arms buildup
��� Pyongyang, September 8 (KCNA) -- The Bush administration reportedly
decided to transfer some hardware and technical equipment of the U.S. forces
to Asia from Europe. The projected transfer of the U.S. forces deployed in
Europe for a large-scale war proves that the bush administration's world
strategy aimed to bring under its control the Asia-Pacific region and
exercise supremacy over it has already entered the phase of its
implementation.
��� It is as clear as noonday that the transfer of military hardware to be
followed by the redeployment of military forces would upset strategic
stability in the Asia-Pacific region and, first of all, adversely affect the
peace process on the Korean peninsula.
��� As already known, an atmosphere of national reconciliation and
reunification has prevailed in the peninsula since the publication of the
June 15 North-South Joint Declaration last year.
��� While pretending to recognize the positive change in the situation of
the peninsula and hope for its improvement, the U.S. is, in fact,
aggravating the regional situation.
��� This fully betrays the criminal attempts of the U.S. to perpetuate its
military presence in South Korea at any cost and realize its strategy for
world domination with it as a foothold.
��� This is evidenced by the fact that as regards the transfer of the U.S.
forces the secretary of the U.S. army said that the bush administration,
unlike the Clinton administration, is directing its efforts to readjusting
its military forces for quick reaction with main emphasis put on asian
security including disputes between china and Taiwan and between the north
and south of Korea.
��� The Korean peninsula has become the primary target of the U.S. forces
present in Asia including South Korea and Japan and most of the Afore-said
military hardware would be transferred to the U.S. military bases in Asia
including South Korea. This is an outright challenge to the whole Korean
nation who wants the independent and peaceful reunification of the country
and the peace-loving people in Asia and the rest of the world.
��� The United States will surely have to pay dearly for such military
challenge as seriously straining the overall situation in the Asia-pacific
region, to say nothing of the Korean peninsula, and harassing peace and
stability.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Title of Labor Heroine awarded to Kye Sun Hui
��� Pyongyang, September 8 (KCNA) -- The Title of Labor Heroine of the DPRK
was awarded to Kye Sun Hui, Judoist of the Moranbong District Sports Group
in Pyongyang. According to the September 6 decree of the Presidium of the
Supreme People's Assembly of the DPRK, she has steadily adapted herself to
the Juche-based judo tactics to prove successful in international games. And
she defeated all her opponents with her strong will-power at the 2001 world
judo championships to carry off a gold medal and demonstrate the dignity and
honor of Juche Korea.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Japan urged to redeem its past
��� Pyongyang, September 8 (KCNA) -- The DPRK urges the Japanese authorities
to redeem at an early date its history of racism and aggression and remove
the root cause of regional instability, said the head of the DPRK delegation
to the world conference against racism in Durban of South Africa. Noting
that the master key to removing the root cause of racism is to properly
settle the history of racism and racial discrimination, he urged those
countries which have systematically pursued racism and racial discrimination
to admit their responsibilities and commit themselves to make compensation
and reparations to those countries, communities and individuals which fell
victim to them.
��� Japan has not yet redeemed its past crimes and this arouses apprehension
as to Japan's possible repetition of its past, he said, adding:
��� Violence is committed against Korean school girls in Japan in broad
daylight at the tacit connivance of the authorities and police for the mere
reason that they are in Korean jackets and long skirts and the policy of
discrimination is pursued against the Koreans in Japan.
��� Saying that it is important to practically ensure equality among all the
races, nations and tribes as well as to redeem the history of racism, he
said that the DPRK government will as ever join the international community
in its efforts to abolish all forms of racism on earth.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jiang Zemin's DPRK visit hailed
��� Pyongyang, September 8 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun today editorially hails
the recent official goodwill visit to the DPRK by Jiang Zemin, General
Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and
President of the People's Republic of China, at the invitation of Kim Jong
Il, General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and Chairman of the
National Defence Commission of the DPRK. His visit marked a historic event
in further deepening the relations of friendship between the leaders of the
two countries and steadily consolidating and developing the DPRK-china
friendship in the 21st century, it says.
��� Noting that the Chinese people are waging a drive to build modern and
highly civilized new China under the leadership of the CPC headed by Jiang
Zemin and the appearance of china is changing as the days go by, the
editorial continues:
��� The party and government of china, considering it as a key link of the
socialist modernization drive with Chinese characteristics to meet the
requirements of the "three represents" set forth by Jiang Zemin, are
arousing all the people to the struggle for its implementation.
��� They are making efforts to defend peace and stability and promote the
progress of countries and nations in a peaceful atmosphere, opposed to the
pursuance of upperhand in strength and hegemonism in the international
arena.
��� The Korean people are sincerely rejoiced over the successes made by the
Chinese people in their efforts to build modern socialist china and wish
them greater achievements in the future.
��� Independence is the main trend of the present times in the 21st century
and nobody can bar the people from advancing under the uplifted banner of
independence and they are sure to win.
��� It is in full accord with the desire, wish and fundamental interests of
the two peoples to continue to vigorously develop the bilateral relations of
friendship in the new century, too, and this will be a positive contribution
to peace, stability and progress in Asia and the rest of the world.
��� Jiang Zemin's recent visit brought joy to the two peoples aspiring after
stronger bilateral relations of friendship in the new century.
��� The Korean people are convinced that the friendly and cooperative
relations between the two countries will grow stronger in different fields
in the spirit agreed upon between the two leaders at several meetings and
talks.
��� It is the consistent stand of the WPK and the DPRK government and the
common desire and wish of the two peoples to set store by and boost the
DPRK-China friendship based on the close relationship between the two
leaders.
��� The DPRK-China friendship which has been developed generation after
generation and century after century, will grow stronger and develop to meet
the requirements of the new century thanks to the concerted efforts of the
two peoples and it will contribute to global independence and peace.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Withdrawal of U.S. troops from S. Korea demanded
��� Pyongyang, September 8 (KCNA) -- Papers here today carry articles 56
years since the U.S. military occupation of South Korea. The papers say that
history of the U.S. imperialists' occupation of South Korea is a crime-woven
history in which they divided Korea into two parts and inflicted the scourge
of the 3-year war upon the Korean nation and a history of aggression and
interference in which the U.S. has persisted in blocking the peaceful
settlement of the Korean issue, engrossed in armed provocations intended to
dominate the whole of Korea.
��� Their presence in South Korea poses a serious threat to peace and
security not only in the Korean peninsula but in northeast Asia and the
Asia-Pacific region, they note.
��� Rodong Sinmun says:
��� The U.S. forces stationed in South Korea serve as front-line forces that
militarily back the U.S. policy of aggression on the DPRK and carry out its
scenario for the second Korean war.
��� Nobody can predict when a war will be started by the U.S. imperialist
forces of aggression on the Korean peninsula as the DPRK and the United
States are still technically at war.
��� The withdrawal of the U.S. troops from South Korea is a fundamental
guarantee for preventing another war and ensuring peace and security on the
Korean peninsula. It is the most urgent issue in realizing reconciliation
and cooperation and ensuring peace and security on the peninsula.
��� There is neither ground nor pretext for the U.S. forces to stay in South
Korea as the agreement on non-aggression was adopted and took effect between
the north and the south of Korea, the agreed framework calling for joint
efforts for peace and security was adopted between the DPRK and the United
States and the June 15 North-South Joint Declaration was published to
independently solve the issue of reunification by the concerted efforts of
the Korean nation.
��� An article of Minju Joson urges the united states to give up its tough
hostile policy towards the DPRK and take the earliest possible step for the
withdrawal of its troops from South Korea if it truly wants the peaceful
solution to the Korean problem and peace and security in Northeast Asia.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Congratulatory message to Seychellois President
��� Pyongyang, September 8 (KCNA) -- Kim Yong Nam, President of the
Presidium of the Supreme People's Assembly of the DPRK, on Sept. 7 sent a
congratulatory message to France Albert Rene upon his reelection as
President of the Republic of Seychelles. Extending warm congratulations to
him, the message noted that his continued assumption of heavy responsibility
as President is an expression of the Seychellois people's deep trust and
expectation for him.
��� Expressing belief that the existing good relations of friendship between
the two countries would grow stronger, the message sincerely wished him
fresh success in his responsible work.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Greetings to Tajik President
��� Pyongyang, September 8 (KCNA) -- Kim Yong Nam, President of the
Presidium of the Supreme People's Assembly of the Democratic People's
Republic of Korea, on September 3 sent a message of greetings to Tajik
President Emomali Rakhmonov on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of its
independence. The message sent warm congratulations to the Tajik President
and people.
��� Expressing belief that the excellent friendly relations between the two
countries would grow stronger, the message wished the president great
success in his work to defend the independence of the country and achieve
its prosperity.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
National meeting marks DPRK birthday
��� Pyongyang, September 8 (KCNA) -- A national meeting was held at the
6,000-seat theatre of the April 25 house of culture today to celebrate the
53rd anniversary of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. Kim Yong Nam,
President of the Presidium of the Supreme People's Assembly, delivered a
report titled "Our republic led by the great party is invincible."
��� He said:
��� The foundation of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea by President
Kim Il Sung on September 9, Juche 37 (1948) was a historic event in which
the Korean people's cherished desire to have a genuine sovereign state of
workers and peasants came true and signified the birth of Juche Korea which
proudly declared the independence and sovereignty of the Korean nation.
��� It is an immortal historic exploit performed by Kim Il Sung on behalf of
the homeland and people, the times and the revolution that he led the DPRK
to build man-centred Korean-style socialism on this land and set a genuine
example of socialist nation-building.
��� His Juche-oriented cause of socialist nation-building is being
successfully carried forward and steadily developed in depth by leader Kim
Jong Il. Recalling that the new U.S. administration is still clinging to the
policy to isolate and stifle the DPRK, the policy which proved bankrupt in
the 20th century, and deliberately deteriorating the situation on the Korean
peninsula, he continued: It is the invariable stand of the Korean party and
people to approach good faith with good faith and react to a hard line with
toughest stand.
��� The U.S. should immediately drop its criminal hostile policy toward the
DPRK, honestly implement the DPRK-U.S. agreed framework and put the earliest
possible end to its troops' presence in South Korea, a constant threat to
the peace and security on the Korean peninsula and a stumbling block lying
in the way of national reunification.
��� The Japanese reactionary ruling quarters should face up to the trend of
the times, drop their hostile policy toward the DPRK and stop hampering
Korea's reunification and renounce at once the foolish and dangerous moves
to justify Japan's history of aggression and revive militarism.
��� Referring to the foreign policy of the DPRK, the reporter noted:
��� The DPRK government's independent politics, independent foreign policy
is consistent and unchangeable.
��� The DPRK will make efforts to develop good-neighbourly and friendly
relations with all countries the world over on the basis of mutual respect
for independence and improve relations with even those countries which once
were hostile to the DPRK if they respect its sovereignty and drops hostile
policy toward it.
��� Present at the meeting were senior party and state officials, officers
and men of the Korean People's Army and working people in the city.
Diplomatic envoys of different countries here and foreign guests were
present there on invitation.
