Anti-DPRK war exercise under fire
��� Pyongyang, November 16 (KCNA) -- Minju Joson today in a signed
commentary terms the joint coastal landing exercise staged by the U.S.
imperialists and the South Korean military an exercise to attack the DPRK
from every point of view. It continues:
��� The U.S. imperialists and the South Korean army staged a large-scale
joint coastal landing exercise, the first of its kind, in the western sector
of the front. This clearly indicates what a dangerous phase their moves for
a war against the DPRK have reached.
��� The DPRK can never remain a passive onlooker to this anti-DPRK war
exercise.
��� The people's army and people of the DPRK will further increase its
defence capability true to the army-centred politics, the justice of which
has been proved in practice, and wipe out the aggressors to the last man if
they dare invade it.
��� The U.S. imperialists and the South Korean warmongers are well advised
to immediately halt their adventurous sabre-rattling to attack the DPRK by
force of arms.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gifts to Kim Jong Il from Russia on display
��� Pyongyang, November 16 (KCNA) -- Gifts leader Kim Jong Il received
during his historic visit to the Russian Federation were displayed at the
International Friendship Exhibition. He received precious gifts from
President V.V. Putin and Russian people in different parts of Russia during
his visit from July 26 to August 18.
��� On display in the exhibition hall are some of the 300 gifts Kim Jong Il
received from President Putin, chief delegates of the president to the
federal districts, ministries and their officials, administrators of regions
and cities he stayed or passed and Russian people.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Speech of head of DPRK delegation at UN General Assembly
��� Pyongyang, November 16 (KCNA) -- If unilateral high-handed practices
are allowed to go ahead with moves to establish the Missile Defense system
(MD) defying international opposition, in a bid to upset strategic stability
and have an absolute edge, the world will be racked by another cold war and
fresh arms race, said the head of the DPRK delegation at the plenary meeting
of the 56th UN General Assembly on Nov. 13. Huge armed forces including
nukes are deployed around the Korean peninsula under the pretext of
non-existent "threat from North Korea," posing a constant threat to the DPRK
and this is the very source of instability on the peninsula and in the rest
of the Asia-Pacific region, he noted, and went on:
��� If the north-south joint declaration is to be implemented and the peace
and reunification of Korea are to be achieved, the north and the south
should take the stand of national independence and the U.S. renounce its
hostile policy towards the DPRK and interference in it.
��� The withdrawal of the U.S. troops from South Korea has surfaced as the
most urgent issue in ensuring peace and security not only on the Korean
peninsula but in northeast Asia.
��� The evermore undisguised moves of Japan to veer to the right and revive
militarism are a factor of rendering the future development on the Korean
peninsula and in its surrounding areas unstable.
��� In order to increase the major role of the UN as regards international
issues, all the member states should respect the UN charter, faithfully
implement it and carry out the democratic reform of the U.N.
��� The UN should call upon its member nations to pay attention to more
practical issues in order to eradicate poverty and achieve development.
��� It is the DPRK government's principled and consistent stand to oppose
all forms of terrorism and any support to it.
��� The DPRK signed the "international convention for the suppression of the
financing of terrorism" and acceded to the "international convention against
the taking of hostages." This is a proof that the DPRK is exerting every
possible effort to combat worldwide terrorism.
��� The DPRK reiterates its will to continue to positively cooperate with
all the members of the U.N. in the efforts to uphold and implement the
purpose and principles of the UN, true to the idea of independence, peace
and friendship, he concluded.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shellfish from Taedong River
��� Pyongyang, November 16 (KCNA) -- The Taedong Tiver, which rises in
northwestern West Sea of Korea, has several barrages and dams. The
construction of the west sea barrage at its estuary has turned the river
into a large artificial lake, creating favorable conditions for fish,
including shellfish. The shellfish, which are found only in the lower
reaches before the building of the barrage, now spread into the middle
reaches, and a sharp growth in its population has been observed. Recently, a
collection of samples of 29 species of shellfish from the Taedong River was
put on display, gaining public admiration. This comprehensive collection was
built by personnel of the Songyo District People's Security Agency in
eastern Pyongyang in cooperation with research institutions, including the
biology faculty of Kim Il Sung University.
��� Among the specimens on display is lumprotula coreana (martens) 120 mm
long, 65 mm wide and 75 mm tall. An endemic species of the river, it is
grey-brown or dark yellow-brown on the outer shell and milky white or yellow
ND glossy-pearl colored on the inside. It lives on plankton such as
diatomaceae, green algae, cyanophta and organic waste.
��� Another displayed shellfish is sinanodonta woodiana (lea), 150 mm long,
95 mm tall and 65 mm wide. Its shell is egg-shaped, thin and brittle.
��� Other kinds of shellfish exhibited are cristaria plicata (leach), unio
pliculosus martens and limnoperna lacustris (martens), which are available
for food and animal fodder.
��� The resources of the Taedong River are enjoying steady growth under
government measures to harness nature and protect the environment.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Japan's "anti-terrorism special law" slammed
��� New Delhi, November 14 (KCNA) -- Brij Mohan, chairman of the Indian
Committee for Supporting Korea's Reunification, made public a statement on
Nov. 9 denouncing the passage and effectuation of the "anti-terrorism
special law" in Japan. He in the statement said that it showed Japan finally
took the road of realizing its ambition for overseas expansion that it has
dreamed of for over 50 years since its defeat.
��� Japan's undisguised moves to realize overseas expansion and become a
military power are evoking serious apprehension and indignation among Asian
and many other countries, he added.
��� He said that the committee denounced these undisguised moves of the
Japanese militarists reckless acts of threatening peace in Asia and the rest
of the world.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Increased share of expenses for upkeep of u.s. troops opposed
��� Pyongyang, November 16 (KCNA) -- More than ten citizens' organizations
in South Korea including the people's action for the revision of the unequal
South Korea-U.S. "status of forces agreement" called an emergency press
conference in Seoul on November 12 and urged the authorities to oppose the
increased share of the expenses for the upkeep of the u.s. troops, according
to Radio No. 1 from Seoul. The organizations said that the South Korean side
should dismiss the claim for the increased share of the expenses for the
upkeep of the U.S. troops and cut it down at the upcoming South Korea-U.S.
"annual security consultative meeting" in the U.S.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strengthening driving force of revolution called for
��� Pyongyang, November 16 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun today carries a signed
article dealing with the justice of the original idea and theory of the
Workers' Party of Korea on firmly building up the driving force of the
revolution with the Korean People's Army as a model. The article says:
��� Keader Kim Jong Il's new idea of projecting the KPA as the pillar of the
revolution and the main force to complete the revolutionary cause of Juche
and strengthening the revolutionary ranks with it as the core is an unique
idea and theory unprecedented in the history of the world socialist
movement.
��� Pointing to the justice of the idea and theory, the article continues:
��� They are based on the Juche-oriented and scientific elucidation of the
position and role of the army in the driving force of the revolution and
reflect the experience gained in the Korean revolutionary struggle.
��� The revolutionary army is the core of the revolutionary ranks and the
most powerful combat ranks of the revolution.
��� No one can replace the army in its position and role in the driving
force of the revolution.
��� In order to defend and glorify our socialist cause it is necessary to
strengthen the army, first of all, and prepare all the people as
revolutionary combat ranks having the same strong spirit and trait as the
people's army does.
��� The leading position and role of the army in the driving force of the
revolution remain the same even after the establishment of the socialist
system, as they were before it.
��� The history of strengthening and developing the driving force of the
Korean revolution can be described as a history in which it has been
strengthened and developed with the revolutionary army as its core.
��� The experience gained in the Korean revolutionary struggle eloquently
proves that a key to strengthening the driving force and making a victorious
advance in the revolution lies in building up the revolutionary ranks with
the army as a model.
��� This idea and theory of Kim Jong Il are demonstrating tremendous
vitality in revolutionary practice as they are based on the Juche-oriented
clarification of the position and role of the army in the driving force of
the revolution and correctly reflect the historic experience of the Korean
revolution.

informacion detallada sobre vi ronda de conversaciones a nivel de ministro
norte-sur
��� pyongyang, 16 de noviembre (atcc) -- quedo publicada el dia 15 la
informacion detallada sobre la vi ronda de conversaciones a nivel de
ministro norte-sur. la informacion senala:
��� como trascendieron, del 9 al 14 del mes en curso se celebro en el monte
kumgang la vi ronda de conversaciones a nivel de ministro norte-sur. pero,
esta termino infructuosa.
��� todo el proceso de la ronda demuestra que entre el norte y el sur quien
respeta verdaderamente la declaracion conjunta del 15 de junio y hace
sinceros esfuerzos por la reconciliacion y la cooperacion y quien lo
obstaculiza.
��� en la sexta ronda celebrada en el periodo en que se torna tensa la
situacion de la peninsula coreana y pasan por pruebas las relaciones
norte-sur la parte norte presento los medios reales para encontrar las
medidas de solucion y llevar al exito el dialogo e hizo todos los esfuerzos
sinceros para este fin.
��� todas las proposiciones de la parte norte siendo mas justas tanto a la
luz de la situacion creada como en vistas de la realidad de las relaciones
norte-sur convienen enteramente al deseo de los coreanos.
��� recae enteramente sobre la parte sur la responsabilidad de que la
presente ronda no habia dado ningun fruto a la nacion.
��� el delegado principal de la parte sur desafio frontalmente a nuestra
demanda justa de eliminar las "medidas de alerta de emergencia" contra la
republica popular democratica de corea diciendo que estas son medidas de
"prevencion" para enfrentar al terrorismo internacional, son algo para
"propiciar la seguridad de los viajeros del sur y el norte" y son "problema
interno" de surcorea.
��� para colmo, el delegado principal encargado del problema de la
reunificacion amparo al ministro de defensa nacional de sudcorea quien en
visperas de las conversaciones estigmatizo el norte como "enemigo principal"
y parloteo que el concepto de "enemigo principal" no es factor que crea
tension entre el norte y el sur y este concepto seria inevitable mientras se
mantiene el estado de armisticio y no es creada la confianza.
��� lo que no podemos pasar por alto es que el insulto y tergiverso
gravemente el significado de "con las fuerzas propias de la nacion coreana",
proposicion principal de la declaracion arriba mencionada calificandola de
"aislamiento" y "ruptura de sus relaciones con la sociedad internacional" y
profirio sin escrupulo las palabras traidoras y serviles a las grandes
potencias: "hay que cooperar con la sociedad internacional y apoyarse en las
fuerzas extranjeras".
��� la injusta actitud de la parte sur se revelo de modo mas concentrado en
la discusion del problema del intercambio del 4 grupo de visita de
familiares y parientes separados.
��� la parte sur nego obstinadamente la proposicion de la parte norte de
intercambiar en noviembre el grupo de visita despues de que en la parte sur
sean levantadas las "medidas de alerta de emergencia", tomando en
consideracion la situacion impostergable del encuentro de esos familiares y
parientes que son ancianos.
��� nuestra parte critico severamente la posicion y actitud injustas de la
parte sur. entonces, esta se vio obligada a proponer el problema de realizar
el encuentro de familiares y parientes en el monte kumgang que es un lugar
confiable para su seguridad fisica.
��� la parte norte expreso la comprension por el respecto y presento el
proyecto real de realizar separadamente el encuentro en cuestion durante dos
noches y tres dias por intervalo de una semana antes y despues del 10 de
diciembre. por eso, los expertos de ambas partes llegaron a acordar hasta el
dia de intercambio de los grupos de visita.
��� sin embargo, de repente el delegado principal de la parte sur al pensar
que podria ser reprochado a su regreso se opuso al encuentro de los
familiares y parientes en el monte kumgang.
��� la injusta posicion de la parte sur se manifesto mas abiertamente en la
discusion sobre el periodo y el lugar de la segunda sesion del comite por la
promocion de la cooperacion economica norte-sur y la vii ronda de
conversaciones a nivel de ministro norte-sur.
��� la parte sur, aun reconociendo que la region surena donde se ha
exacerbado la situacion es un lugar impropio para el dialogo y el viaje,
salio con la insistencia contradictoria de efectuar no en el monte kumgang
sino en seul la segunda sesion del comite por la promocion de la cooperacion
economica norte-sur y de esta manera creo obstaculo artificial ante las
conversaciones.
��� la parte norte, para llevar de todas maneras al exito las conversaciones
adelanto la propuesta racional de escoger seul tambien como el lugar de la
vii ronda y definir el periodo comodo para ambas partes.
��� por la logica justa y la concesion generosa de la parte norte en el
contacto de expertos se dio toque final a la elaboracion del proyecto de
comunicado conjunto en el cual luego de reafirmar la voluntad de ejecutar la
declaracion conjunta norte-sur se estipulan el problema de organizar el
encuentro de los familiares y parientes en el monte kumgang antes y despues
del 10 de diciembre, el de realizar respectivamente el mismo lugar en
noviembre y diciembre la segunda ronda de conversaciones de las autoridades
para la revitalizacion del turirmo al monte kumgang y la segunda sesion del
cpce y sostener la vii ronda de conversaciones a nivel de ministro en seul
en un periodo oportuno para ambas partes.
��� pero, unas horas antes de la reunion plenaria el delegado principal hong
sun yong de la parte sur de repente renuncio todos los puntos acordados.
��� como consecuencia, la vi ronda se convirtio en un lugar de polemica
innecesaria, en fin termino infructuosa.
��� en una palabra la posicion y actitud tomadas por la parte sur en la
sexta roda demuestra que la parte sur renuncia el nucleo de la declaracion
conjunta norte-sur del 15 de junio y se aparta muy lejos de su espiritu
fundamental.
��� la parte sur debe abandonar sin falta su injusta posicion y actitud de
negar el espiritu fundamental de la declaracion arriba mencionada.
��� con ninguna justificacion ni ningun pretexto la parte sur podra
liberarse jamas de su responsabilidad por haber terminado infructuosa la
sexta ronda y por haber creado asi un gran obstaculo en cumplimiento de la
declaracion conjunta norte-sur y en el camino de la reconciliacion, la
unidad y la reunificacion de la nacion.

rpdc se esforzara por defender objetivo y principio de onu
��� pyongyang, 16 de noviembre (atcc) -- el jefe de la delegacion de la
republica popular democratica de corea pronuncio un discurso el dia 13 en el
pleno del 56 periodo de sesiones de la asamblea general de las naciones
unidas. el dijo:
��� el mundo sera arrastrado otra vez por la "guerra fria" y la carrera
armamentista si se permite el despotismo unilateral para destruir la
estabilidad estrategica y ocupar la absoluta superioridad a traves del
establecimiento del sistema de defensa antimisil pese a la oposicion
internacional.
��� so pretexto de la supuesta "amenaza de norcorea", en el contorno de la
peninsula coreana se aglomeran enormes fuerzas armadas incluidas las armas
nucleares que amenazan permanentemente a la rpdc y que constituyen un factor
fundamental que engendra la inestabilidad de esta peninsula y la region de
asia y el pacifico.
��� a fin de ejecutar la declaracion conjunta norte-sur y lograr la paz y la
reunificacion de la peninsula coreana es preciso que el norte y el sur de
corea mantengan la posicion de independencia nacional y que se ponga fin a
la intervencion y la politica de hostilidad de ee.uu. a norcorea.
��� la retirada de las tropas norteamericanas de sudcorea es un apremiante
problema impostergable para preservar la paz y la seguridad de la peninsula
coreana y el noreste asiatico.
��� el factor de la inestabilidad del desarrollo futuro de esta peninsula y
su contorno lo constituyen la inclinacion a la derecha del japon y su
intencion de restaurar el militarismo, que se tornan cada dia mas abiertas.
a fin de elevar el papel centrico de la onu en la solucion de los problemas
internacionales es preciso que todos sus paises miembros respeten y cumplan
fielmente la carta de la onu y que esta se reforme de manera democratica.
��� la onu debe demandar a sus paises miembros para que presten atencion a
los problemas mas practicos para eliminar la miseria y lograr el desarrollo.
��� la oposicion a todas las formas de terrorismo y el apoyo al respecto son
la posicion invariable y de principios del gobierno de la rpdc.
��� la firma de la rpdc a la "convencion para la supresion de financiamiento
de organizaciones terroristas" y su ingreso en la "convencion internacional
contra rehen" son pruebas de que ella hace todo lo que este a su alcance
para eliminar el terrorismo en el ambito mundial.
��� reafirmo que la rpdc fiel al ideal de la independencia, la paz y la
amistad seguira cooperando activamente con todos los paises miembros de la
onu para mantener y observar el objetivo y el principio de la onu.
