yesterday. The hammer has been in full operation for the last 30 years, thus
making great contributions to producing many parts necessary for railway
transportation and the industrialization of the country.
Arms buildup in S. Korea denounced
Pyongyang, October 4 (KCNA) -- The U.S. is going to additionally deploy
U.S. air force in South Korea under the pretext of filling up a military
vacuum on the Korean peninsula caused by the dispatch of the U.S. carrier
kitty hawk to middle east in retaliation against the attacks on the U.S.,
according to Seoul-based radio No.1. The U.S. and the South Korean military
authorities in a press release issued on Oct. 2 agreed to additionally beef
up the U.S. air force in a bid to minimize the military vacuum on the Korean
peninsula resulting from the redeployment of the carrier.
The South Korean Defense Ministry disclosed that some of the flying
corps and naval force belonging to the kitty hawk which left Japan would
remain in the west pacific ocean to strengthen the South Korea-U.S. "joint
defensive posture."
This is a dangerous move to drive the situation on the Korean peninsula
to the brink of war at any cost and the South Korean military authorities'
support to the U.S. in its arms buildup is an act of chilling the Korean
nation's ardent desire for reunification and a blatant challenge to its
efforts to implement the June 15 joint declaration.

of the nation and its mission and duty to bring joy to all the fellow
countrymen.

Kumgang, taking into consideration the actual possibility and conditions for

hoy estas relaciones de amistad se llevan a una etapa mas alta bajo la
profunda atencion del estimado comandante supremo camarada kim jong il y el
respetado companero fidel castro ruz.
nos regocijamos como de los nuestros de los grandes exitos que los
companeros cubanos logran en sus esfuerzos por fortalecer el partido y el
ejercito y desarrollar la economia sobreponiendose a las dificultades del
"periodo especial en la epoca de paz" y de que se llevan al fracaso las
perversas maquinaciones de los imperialistas yankis encaminadas a
internacionalizar el bloqueo contra cuba y se elevan las voces de apoyo y
solidaridad internacionales con la justa causa de su pueblo.
en el futuro tambien el pueblo y el ejercito de corea estaran siempre al
lado del pueblo y el ejercito de cuba y apoyaran y respaldaran activamente
la justa causa de los companeros cubanos para defender la soberania del pais
y llevar adelante el socialismo.

viceministro de las fuerzas armadas revolucionarias de cuba y jefe del
estado mayor general quien preside la delegacion, senalo que recrudecen de
dia en dia las maquinaciones de presion y agresion de los imperialistas
contra cuba y la rpdc, pero hoy la indestructible amistad entre ambos paises
preparada por los dos grandes lideres, el companero fidel castro ruz y el
camarada kim il sung no cesa de profundizarse por el camarada kim jong il.
preciso que hoy los pueblos de ambos paises luchan enfrentandose a los
actos agresivos que perpetran en todos los ambitos las fuerzas reaccionarias
encabezadas por la actual administracion norteamericana y han logrado nuevos
e importantes exitos en esta batalla.
el orador expreso la conviccion de que su presente visita a corea hara
una gran contribucion a consolidar y desarrollar la amistad y solidaridad
entre los pueblos de cuba y corea, paises hermanos que avanzan enarbolandola
bandera del socialismo.
