Ground-breaking ceremony held in area of Mt. Paektu
Samjiyon, October 20 (KCNA) -- A ground-breaking ceremony for the
second-stage construction of revolutionary sites in the area of Mt. Paektu,
Ryanggang province in the north-eastern part of Korea was held on Oct. 20 at
the plaza before the Samjiyon grand monument where President Kim Il Sung's
statue stands. Hong Song Nam, premier of the DPRK cabinet, said in his
report made at the ceremony that the builders are faced with the tasks to
construct facilities for permanently preserving materials and relics in the
revolutionary battlesites and historical sites and many new houses and
readjust and recondition over 190 km of roads and construct several power
stations and wind up the overhaul of the existing power stations.
Senior officials of the party and the government, ministries and
national institutions and party information workers took part in
ground-breaking in different worksites.
Koizumi's remarks assailed in S. Korea
Pyongyang, October 21 (KCNA) -- Various citizens and public
organizations and personages in South Korea are becoming bitterly critical
of the Japanese prime minister, charging that he once again made mockery of
Koreans with word jugglery without honestly redressing Japan's past, when he
merely uttered the word "apology," "expressing sympathy to Koreans'
sufferings" on Oct. 15 during his junket to South Korea, according to the
newspaper Hangyore. Upon hearing this news the headquarters of the movement
for correcting the distortion of Japanese history textbooks released an
urgent commentary in which it noted that "Koizumi once again uttered only
customary glossy words of apology and Koreans cannot trust him unless he
puts those words of apology into specific practice.
The director of the council of measures for the issue of the "volunteers
corps" said that in view of the Japanese government's behavior and attitude,
his "apology" is very likely to end in a wordplay.
The Society for the Study of Tok Islet in a statement dismissed his
remarks as a deceptive political farce. It urged the South Korean government
to drop its humiliating diplomacy toward Japan and conduct strong
independent diplomacy.
Meanwhile, over 100 citizens and public organizations including the
"national people's solidarity for national independence, democracy and
people's right to existence," the council of measures for the issue of the
"volunteers corps" and the headquarters of the movement for correcting the
distortion of Japanese history textbooks staged rallies and demonstrations
in more than ten places in Seoul protesting Koizumi's South Korea junket.
Japanese reactionaries' tyrannical action slammed
Pyongyang, October 21 (KCNA) -- Minju Joson today in a signed commentary
assails the Japanese reactionaries for their tyrannical act of ransacking
the International Institute of the Juche Idea (IIJI) and the house of its
secretary general and various Juche idea study organizations in Japan. The
DPRK cannot but take a serious view of this action as it was not an
accidental step taken in accordance with what they called "legal procedure"
but a carefully prearranged deliberate action, the commentary notes, and
goes on:
Lurking behind the recent action was the Japanese reactionaries'
sinister design to launch a wholesale crackdown upon the Juche idea study
organizations in Japan by invoking their domestic law.
Their step was taken in pursuance of their virulent hostile policy
towards the DPRK in a bid to cripple its dignity daily rising thanks to the
immortal Juche idea. This is an intolerable challenge to world progressive
humankind and unprecedented gangsterim and an anachronistic rash act.
The recent incident helped the world realize once again what extent the
Japanese reactionaries' moves to turn Japan rightist and fascist have
reached.
The Korean people and other progressive people of the world will never
pardon the Japanese reactionaries challenging the just cause of the era for
independence. The Japanese authorities should severely punish those
responsible for the incident and honestly apologize to the Korean people and
the world's progressives for it.
U.S. arms buildup in S. Korea condemned
Pyongyang, October 21 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun today in a signed
commentary says that the DPRK cannot but take a serious view of the step,
taken by the United States to increase its airforce combat capabilities in
South Korea. The present complicated situation compels the DPRK to increase
its military power with heightened vigilance, the commentary says, and goes
on:
The situation is very complicated and tense and hard to predict as
retaliation operations are going on in Afghanistan. Under this situation the
U.S. has newly forward-deployed its air task force and military hardware in
South Korea allegedly to "fill up a military vacuum," badly getting on the
nerves of the DPRK.
Such reinforcement is not for filling up any "vacuum" but intended to
attain the u.s. sinister purpose.
The DPRK repeatedly clarified its principled stand to oppose all forms
of terrorism as regards the recent terrorist attacks on the u.s.
However, the U.S. is additionally deploying its combat forces in South
Korea under the pretext of "military vacuum" to aggravate the tense
situation, not squarely seeing the nature of the situation and the reality.
This is an undisguised revelation of its unchanged design to dominate the
Korean peninsula and the Asia-Pacific region.
The U.S. imperialists' "military vacuum" theory and arms buildup can
never be justified.
The DPRK will cement its revolutionary position in every way to actively
cope with any situation and sharply watch the developments in full combat
readiness.
Early solution of humanitarian issue urged
Pyongyang, October 21 (KCNA) -- The secretariat of the Committee for the
Peaceful Reunification of the Fatherland yesterday issued its information
bulletin no. 811 clarifying again the north side's stand to ensure the
progress of the inter-Korean dialogue. The north side's principled stand has
already been clarified in the October 12 statement of a CPRF spokesman,
which was released as regards the fact that South Korea has been put on
"emergency alert", and in the October 18 telephone message sent by the head
of the north side's delegation to the inter-Korean ministerial talks to the
south side, the information bulletin noted, and said:
However, the south side has not shown any response to the north side's
just initiatives and proposals, but is casting aspersions on the latter's
sincere efforts for the development of the bilateral relations and national
unity.
Such unjustifiable behavior in violation of the bilateral agreements and
the basic spirit of the June 15 joint declaration is based on the position
of the south defining the north as "principal enemy".
Noting that ultra-rightist conservative forces of South Korea including
the "Grand National Party" are saying this or that about the cooperation
between the north and the south, the bulletin said: there will be no future
for those separatists speaking ill of fellow countrymen and inciting
confrontation.
It further said:
Steadfast is our will to improve the north-south relations through
dialogue and negotiations, and there is no change in our stand to solve the
humanitarian issues including exchange of visiting groups of separated
families and relatives at an early date.
Our side holds that the south side, if it truly respects the fundamental
spirit of the June 15 joint declaration and want national reconciliation and
unity, should urgently take any forms of measures to create circumstances
and atmosphere understandable and acceptable to us.
The south side should also take a bold decision to accept flexible
timeframes for multi-faceted talks, proposed by the north side out of the
desire to develop dialogues between the two sides, and come out to the
negotiating tables. We will keep an eye on the south side's attitude.
Fifth "Day of National Immunization" opens
Pyongyang, October 21 (KCNA) -- An inaugural meeting of the fifth "Day
of National Immunization" was held in Pyongyang yesterday. In the DPRK
October 20, the anniversary of President Kim Il Sung's famous work
"socialist medical science is preventive medicine," is marked as the "Day of
National Immunization".
On this day all the children up to the age of five across the country
are vaccinated against poliomyelitis.
At the meeting Kim Su Hak, minister of public health, in his speech said
that the who, UNICEF and other international organizations have rendered
sincere cooperation to the DPRK in its efforts to successively observe the
"day of national immunization".
He expressed thanks to the international federation of red cross and red
crescent societies, UNDP and other international bodies, the EU and other
governmental and non-governmental organizations for the sincere assistance
given to the DPRK and expressed the expectation that they would positively
contribute to the work to promote the health of Korean children in the
future, too.
Eigil Sorensen, representative of the who here and Nada K. Kruvavika,
acting representative of the UNICEF here made congratulatory speeches at the
meeting.
Noting that the "day of national immunization" is successively observed
in the DPRK under the guidance of leader Kim Jong Il, they said that this
day would mark an important event in the global efforts to eradicate
poliomyelitis.
They said they were proud to note that the Ministry of Public Health of
the DPRK, who, UNICEF, donor organizations and aid bodies are cooperating
with each other in the efforts to eradicate diseases and expressed thanks
for this.
They said that they would as ever continue the technological and
material cooperation in the efforts to implement the infantile paralysis
eradication and expanded immunization projects on the basis of the
achievements made in the DPRK.
Present there were scientists and technicians in the field of public
health and medical workers, an official of UNPF, the EU representative, the
resident co-ordinator of the development co-operation office of the Italian
Ministry of Foreign Affairs, members of the aid delegation of the
international federation of red cross and red crescent societies, and
diplomatic envoys of Sweden, Germany and the UK here.
At the end of the meeting the participants saw photos showing the
successes made in the health care in the DPRK.
Statement of spokesman for C.C., DPRK Red Cross Society
Pyongyang, October 21 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the Central Committee of
the DPRK Red Cross Society released a statement today calling for the
removal of gruesome circumstances and atmosphere prevailing in South Korea.
Noting that since the publication of the June 15 joint declaration the DPRK
advanced a series of reasonable proposals to alleviate the misfortune and
sufferings of the separated families and relatives and has made every
possible sincere effort for their realization, the statement said:
However, the south side has not yet taken understandable steps but is
hell-bent on the move to evade and shift the blame for the matter.
This is very regretful.
The reality eloquently shows who is truly interested in the solution of
the humanitarian issue and who is opposed to its solution.
National reconciliation and unity are a precondition for the solution of
the humanitarian issue and mistrust and confrontation are an obstacle to it.
When efforts are made to solve the reunification problem, the issue of
the nation, by the efforts of the fellow countrymen in the spirit of the
joint declaration, the south side is creating a horrifying atmosphere of
mistrust and confrontation among members of the nation, with the happenings
outside the country as an occasion. Under this situation nobody believes any
call of the south side for the solution of the humanitarian issue.
Words should correspond with action.
The south side should show in action rather than word that its desire
for the solution of the humanitarian issue is true.
We think that such opportunity for it to do so has already been given by
us.
As clarified in the October 18 telephone message of the north side, the
south side should, above all, show in practice its willingness to remove the
gruesome circumstances and atmosphere prevailing in South Korea for the
reunion of separated families and relatives.
If circumstances and conditions favorable for such reunion are created
in South Korea, our side will exchange visiting groups of separated families
and relatives anytime.
For Spanish-speaking people
ee.uu. es pais malvadote
pyongyang, 21 de mayo (atcc) -- el diario "rodong sinmun" en el numero
de ayer inserto un articulo individual revelando que ee.uu. es un pais
malvadote del mundo. refiriendose a algunos indicios del "pais malvado"
enunciados por el gobierno de ee.uu. el articulo lo revela con hechos:
el primer indicio es el desarrollo de las armas nucleares, biologicas y
quimicas y misiles. ee.uu. es el primer pais que corresponde por entero a
este indicio. es un pais heguemonico del mundo en las armas nucleares,
biologicas y quimicas y misiles. supera considerablemente a otros paises en
la cantidad y fuerzas destructivas de estas armas. ee. uu. es un tamano
criminal que se valio de estas armas para acarrear tremendos danos a la
humanidad. es el unico pais que uso por primera vez en la historia armas
nucleares contra la humanidad en hiroshima y nagasaki. durante el periodo de
la guerra coreana trato varias veces de usarlas.
el segundo indicio es el "apoyo al terrorismo".
el departamento de estado norteamericano en el "informe anual sobre el
terrorismo" incluyo en la lista de "paises de apoyo al terrorismo" a varios
paises, pero ee.uu. es el verdadero criminal de este particular.
despues de la aparicion de la administracion de bush perpetro mas de una
vez incursiones aereas contra irak.
ee.uu. es calificado de pais malvadote del mundo por sus maniobras y
jugarretas perpetradas contra otros paises.
la accion militar de ee.uu. de hace dos anos contra yugoslavia
contraviene al derecho y normas de relaciones internacionales.
la administracion de bush dio a conocer su intento de negar la ejecucion
de "protocolo de kyoto". es una banalidad de un pais gangsteril que recurre
a todos los actos injustos para perseguir sus intereses.
tal arbitrariedad de ee.uu. no puede surtir efecto en el mundo.
la humanidad llevara sin falta a ee.uu. al juicio de la historia para
dictarle sentencia severa.
