Japan's talk about peace dismissed as hypocritical
Pyongyang, October 28 (KCNA)- The Japanese chief executive was reported
to have said that Japan would not start again a war and all what it does is
for "peace'" during his recent tour of neighbouring countries. Rodong Sinmun
today in a signed commentary dismisses this as hypocrisy. The commentary
goes:
It is a stereotyped method of the Japanese militarists to ignite a war
against other countries with the mobilization of aggressor forces, while
paying lip-service to "peace."
The same method was employed by the Japanese imperialist aggressors when
they were invading various Asian countries in the past.
The present international situation is turning unfavorable to the
Japanese militarists as the days go by, the commentary observes, and goes
on:
The Japanese reactionaries, taking advantage of the trend of the
international situation for their sinister purpose, are painting themselves
as "peace champions" and seeking overseas aggression under its smokescreen.
The revival of militarism in Japan and its moves for overseas expansion
have already gone beyond the danger limit.
The Japanese reactionaries try to use Japan's "logistic support" to the
U.S. forces as a pretext for justifying their moves to start military
operations overseas and military actions and intervention in other
countries.
To this end they are putting spurs to the establishment of a war system
including moves to allow the dispatch of "Self-Defence Forces" overseas.
The SDF is equipped with sophisticated long-distance weapons. The per
minute firing capacity of a division of the "imperial army" during the
pacific war was 14 tons but that of a division of the SDF at present is 611
tons.
The Japanese reactionaries have given the SDF to be dispatched abroad
stronger right to use weapons. That is why the dispatch of the SDF overseas
cannot but be very dangerous.
While talking that they would not "start another war", the Japanese
reactionaries calculate that the international community would slacken their
vigilance against such moves for overseas expansion and try to avail
themselves of this to invade other countries by surprise.
The commentary calls for heightening vigilance against this deceptive
trick of the Japanese militarists and intensify the anti-Japanese struggle.

Single-hearted unity of DPRK lauded
Pyongyang, October 28 (KCNA) --Krasae Chanawongse, minister to the Thai
prime minister's office responsible for youth affairs, was interviewed by
KCNA on Oct. 26, before his departure from the DPRK. The Korean youth are
giving full play to the revolutionary trait of unconditionally and
thoroughly implementing the line and policies set forth by the party and the
leader with boundless loyalty to their leader and in the spirit of devotedly
implementing them, he said, and went on:
The DPRK will accomplish the revolutionary cause of Juche to the end in
whatever storms as it has the strong party, army and youth.
Miracles wrought in the DPRK are the noble fruition of the
single-hearted unity of the leader, the party and the masses.
The single-hearted unity is a symbol of Juche Korea and the true picture
of the Korean people and youth who are remaining loyal to the party and the
leader.
The Korean people, under the guidance of leader Kim Jong Il, will
certainly bring about a new era of national prosperity, a new history of the
prosperous and powerful nation in the new century.
Thailand hopes that Korea will be reunified at an early date free from
the interference of foreign forces. We will make every effort to further
develop the friendly and cooperative relations between the two countries in
political, economic, cultural and various other fields.

Japan's anachronistic action condemned
Pyongyang, October 28 (KCNA) The African Regional Committee for the
Study of the Juche Idea issued a statement on October 19 and the Nepalese
Juche idea study groups called a joint emergency meeting in Kathmandu on
Oct. 21 denouncing the Japanese authorities for ransacking the International
Institute of the Juche Idea and its related organizations and taking
materials. The African Regional Committee for the Study of the Juche Idea in
its statement strongly denounced the Japanese authorities tyrannical act,
dismissing it as a challenge to the just cause of people of various
countries for global independence and peace.
The joint emergency meeting held by heads and members of the Nepal
Institute for Juche Studies, youth forum for self-reliance studies and other
Juche idea study groups in Nepal adopted a protest declaration to be sent to
the Japanese government.
The declaration denounced the recent action that runs counter to all
international laws and justice and demanded the immediate return of the
confiscated materials.
It warned that the Japanese government should be wholly responsible for
all consequences to be entailed by the unjust action.

Anniversary of Kim Jong Il's work observed
Pyongyang, October 28 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun today dedicates an
article to the 10th anniversary of leader Kim Jong Il's famous work "Let us
effect a new turn in scientific and technological development". This work
was published on Oct. 28, Juche 80 (1991).
It elucidates the importance and significance of developing science and
technology in defending and glorifying Korean socialism, the issue of
establishing Juche in scientific researches and scientific and technological
problems in putting the national economy on a Juche-oriented, modern and
scientific basis.
It says:
The last decade is a proud period in which the Workers' Party of Korea's
idea of attaching importance to science has been successfully embodied and
great successes have been made in the field of science and technology under
the wise leadership of Kim Jong Il.
Kim Jong Il has wisely led the work for the scientific and technological
development of the country. This is evidenced by the fact that he set forth
the original idea of attaching importance to science, indicated a short cut
to building a powerful nation and saw to it that all state efforts were
directed to the field of science and technology.
It is also proved by the fact that he has shown great care and trust in
the scientists and technicians and led them to creditably play their role in
building a powerful nation.
It goes on:
The WPK's idea of attaching importance to science represents the great
pluck and will of Kim Jong Il to put the science and technology of the
country on a world level as early as possible and achieve successes of world
significance in the scientific and technological field.
It is the firm faith of Kim Jong Il not to spare any investment in the
scientific and technological development for the prosperity of the country
and happiness of all generations to come.
Deeply concerned for science and education, he has provided up-to-date
computers and educational equipment necessary for the development of the it
by spending a huge amount of fund, and shown deep trust and love for the
scientists and technicians.
Thanks to his loving care many heroes of the times were produced from
among the scientists and technicians in the period of the "arduous march"
and forced march and more dependable youth scientists are being trained to
occupy a high eminence of ultra-modern science and technology.
The 21st century is a century of great national prosperity in which the
Korean people will build a nation strong in science and technology by using
the existing potentials to the maximum under the leadership of Kim Jong Il,
the article concludes.

Strengthening of army called for
Pyongyang, October 28 (KCNA) -- National sovereignty is guaranteed by a
strong army, says Rodong Sinmun today in a signed article. It goes on:
Unexpected changes are taking place in the international relations. An
ally in the last century appears as an enemy while an enemy becomes a
friend. Such reality calls upon the countries and nations desirous of
independence and peace to attach importance to military affairs and
strengthen their armies.
Peace and national sovereignty are guaranteed by an army based on
justice.
The imperialists are working hard to turn the trend of world politics
into the relations based on domination and subjugation, advocating the
strength-all powerful logic.
That is why army-first politics and building up an army are an effective
way of foiling their high-handed policy and arbitrary practices and building
an independent and peaceful new world.
The army alone can frustrate the imperialists' high-handed policy for
aggression and ensure global peace.
If a country pays no attention to the army on account of peacetime, it
will become a slave of the imperialists overnight.
The 20th century taught this lesson.
The army serves as a powerful weapon to defend the country and the
nation.
A strong army can protect the sovereignty of the country and the nation.
Although many countries in the world achieved their independence, they are
deprived of the sovereignty of the country and the nation. They try to
please big countries, reading their faces, and are put into a bad shape by
the attitude of those big countries. Those countries which were friendly to
other countries in the past betray their friends because of the
imperialists' grumbling and kowtow to them.
One can have pluck and courage only when the army is strong. If the army
is strong, people remains unfazed even when huge forces of imperialism come
in attack. When the army is strong, they can advance along the road chosen
by themselves, their chests thrown out, saying what they want to do.
In order to strengthen the army, it is necessary to intensify the
political and ideological education of the soldiers of the Korean People's
Army and the people and develop the defence industry.
Noting that the Korean people are convinced of the validity and vitality
of leader Kim Jong Il's idea of giving priority to the army and his
army-first politics, the article says that no one can dare provoke any
country and nation strengthening its army and it will always emerge
victorious.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Implementation of north-south joint declaration urged
Pyongyang, October 28 (KCNA) -- It is a genuine patriotic road for the
country and the nation to remain true to the June 15 North-South Joint
Declaration and implement it to the letter, says Rodong Sinmun today in a
signed article. It is the core of the joint declaration to independently
solve the issue of the country's reunification by the concerted efforts of
the Korean nation responsible for it, free from any foreign domination and
interference, the article says, and goes on:
The north-south joint declaration serves as a banner of reunification
and patriotism which makes it possible to solve the issue of the
reunification of the country quickly and smoothly as it indicates the way of
achieving reunification by federal formula.
For the Korean nation a struggle for the country's reunification
represents the greatest patriotic struggle because it is the unanimous
desire and supreme task of the entire Korean nation as it decides the rise
or fall of the nation.
The best way of achieving the country's reunification is to achieve
national reunification and reunification by federal formula by transcending
the difference in the ideologies and systems in the north and the south. In
the north-south joint declaration both sides, recognizing that low-level
federation proposed by the north and the commonwealth system proposed by the
south for reunification has similarity, agreed to work together for the
reunification in this direction in the future. This reflects the specific
reality of the country.
The adoption of the joint declaration helped the north and the south
confirm the common ways of reunification and made it possible for the Korean
nation to conduct a vigorous struggle for the country's reunification with a
correct goal and ways provided by the federal formula for reunification.
All the Koreans in the north and the south and abroad should come out as
one in the patriotic struggle to implement the June 15 North-South Joint
Declaration to the letter under the uplifted banner of national independence
and bring earlier the day of the country's independent and peaceful
reunification. .

declaracion de academia de ciencias sociales de rpdc
pyongyang, 27 de agosto (atcc) -- la academia de ciencias sociales de
la rpdc hizo publica el dia 25 una declaracion para calificar la visita del
premier japones al "santuario yasukuni" como un insulto al pueblo coreano y
los demas pueblos asiaticos, una peligrosa farsa politica encaminada al
resurgimiento del militarismo. la visita en cuestion provoca la preocupacion
particular y la vehemente indignacion a los pueblos asiaticos porque ella
coincide con el resurgimiento del militarismo que rebasa el limite de
peligro por las maquinaciones del envio de las "fuerzas de autodefensa" al
ultramar y la tergiversacion de historia del japon, senala la declaracion y
continua:
el japon es el unico pais que acogio el nuevo siglo sin saldar cuenta
con sus crimenes de la agresion y guerra perpetrados en el siglo pasado.
la visita en cuestion no puede ser permitida jamas siendo abierta
revelacion de la ambicion militarista de encomiar la historia criminal
pasada y volver a agredir a los paises asiaticos.
al premier le siguen en hacerlo los ministros y se oyen disparates
ultranacionalistas de regularizarla. esta realidad del japon evoca el
periodo de la guerra del pacifico de la decada de 1940.
la visita en cuestion es una peligrosa farsa politica fraguada con el
fin de dar acicate al resurgimiento del militarismo.
el japon no debe repetir el peligroso juego politico que promueve el
resurgimiento del militarismo a traves de la visita al "santuario yasukuni"
sino hacer disculpa sincera e indemnizacion estricta de sus crimenes
cometidos en el pasado contra el pueblo coreano.
