Workteams and sub-workteams of the farm have carried much compost to the fields. ��� The farm is steadily doing farming preparations such as selection, keeping and treating of seed while successfully conducting the dissemination of scientific and technological knowledge and the technical guidance over the farming processes. It has also built up the greenhouse to cultivate several species of vegetables even in winter. ��� Meanwhile, brisk agitation activities are being conducted in the fields to inspire the farmers in the preparations for New Year's farming. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dignity of Juche Korea demonstrated ��� Pyongyang, January 5 (KCNA) -- The dignity of Juche Korea was fully demonstrated last year, says Rodong Sinmun in a by-lined article today. The Korean people look back upon the last one year with higher pride, self-respect and greater happiness than any other people of the world, it says, and goes on: ��� This national pride and self-respect of the Korean people find their expression in the fact that the dignity of Juche Korea was fully demonstrated as it has the great leader. ��� Last year witnessed a very complicated situation. ��� The United States had made every possible effort for hegemonism in pursuance of the policy of strength. ��� The Bush administration pursued a hardline policy towards the DPRK, backpedaling Korea policy of the preceding regime. The U.S. tried to stifle the DPRK by force of arms so as to demonstrate the "effectiveness" of its hardline policy and, through it, bring other revolutionary and progressive countries to their knees without much difficulty. ��� Now that the situation changed and the U.S. intensified its hostile policy towards the DPRK, leader Kim Jong Il, who is possessed of rare wisdom and scientific insight, adopted a revolutionary measure to react to the hardline policy of the enemies with the toughest policy and powerfully encouraged the army and people to the defence of the country and socialist construction. The great army-based policy shattered to pieces a foolish attempt of the imperialist bellicose elements to bring the DPRK to its knees by use of force. It created an international environment favorable for the Korean revolution and increased international solidarity with the Korean people in their cause of justice. ��� Kim Jong Il's visits to China and Russia had a great impact on the changes in the world political structure. The visits marked historic events of weighty importance in boosting the friendly relations with those countries to meet the needs of the new century. They also marked a momentous occasion in pushing forward the human cause of peace and independence. ��� Last year a top-level EU delegation paid a visit to the DPRK and the EU established diplomatic relations with the DPRK. All this was a clear proof of a new development of DPRK-Europe relationship and of the worldwide expansion of the DPRK's external relations. It was a product of independent foreign policy of the Workers' Party of Korea and the DPRK government. ��� Last year also witnessed strengthened support and solidarity for the Korean people in the international arena. ��� Indeed, in the year 2001 the dignity and honor of Juche Korea were exalted as never before and the prestige of the DPRK was fully demonstrated before the world. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Gift to Kim Jong Il from Nepal ��� Pyongyang, January 5 (KCNA) -- Leader Kim Jong Il received a gift from the Central Committee of the Nepal Communist Party (United Marxist-Leninist). The gift is a product of the painstaking search and efforts made by leading members of the party and famous metal craftsmen in Nepal for several months. ��� A ceremony of conveying the gift took place in the building of the c.c., the Nepal Communist Party (UML) on Dec. 31 last year. ��� General secretary of the party Madhav Kumar Nepal handed it to the DPRK ambassador to Nepal. ��� Madhav Kumar Nepal said that the gift is associated with the expectation and desire of the Nepalese people and the progressives who wish the Korean people greater success in building a powerful socialist nation and great advance and victory in their struggle for peace and reunification of the Korean peninsula and the global socialist cause in 2002 under the wise leadership of Kim Jong Il. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ New scientific and technological books come off press ��� Pyongyang, January 5 (KCNA) -- Many scientific and technological books are being published in the DPRK. The science and encyclopedia publishing house brought out over ten scientific and technological books such as "Program Language" (computer basics), "Actuality and Depiction of Photographic Art", "Plastic Surgery", "Digestive Surgery", and "Clinical Surgery of Hypertensive Cerebral Hyperemia". ��� "Plastic Surgery" deals with theoretical and practical issues arising in putting congenital and postnatal disorder or morphological abnormal symptom to a normal condition or a condition close to normal. ��� "Clinical surgery of hypertensive cerebral hyperemia" shows clinical experience and achievements gained in clinical surgery practice of hypertensive cerebral hyperemia for many years and information gathered from inside and outside the country. ��� "Computer language" and "change of marine resource and its management", "questions and answers as to technology related to sea culture" and others were published by the industrial publishing house. ��� "Computer language" contains at least 3,000 words of hardware and software which had been developed until Juche 89 (2000). These words are given in a Korean alphabetical order. ��� Last year also witnessed the publication of many other scientific and technological books including "biosphere sanctuary of Mt. Paektu" and "Taking Care of Hen" by the Agricultural Publishing House, the Railway Publishing House and the Sports and Physical Culture Publishing House. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Police investigation denounced in S. Korea ��� Pyongyang, January 5 (KCNA) -- The South Korean Federation of University Student Councils reportedly released a statement on Dec. 27 last year condemning the police authorities for arresting students and putting them under threatening investigation. The statement said: ��� The South Korean police authorities unreasonably arrested Ko Min Su, student of the Ryongin branch of the university of foreign studies, and put him under an intimidating interrogation in a bid to arrest the participants in the recent people's meeting held in seoul. ��� The authorities' intimidation of leading members of the people's solidarity, the (South) Korean Confederation of Trade Unions and the "National Federation of Peasants Associations" is intended to crack down upon the struggle of the workers, peasants and students by creating an atmosphere of "public security." ��� The authorities should apologize for unwarrantedly questioning Ko Min Su and send him back to his family. We will fight against the police authorities if they label the students as "rioters" and treat them as criminals once again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Korean nation called upon to protect its destiny ��� Pyongyang, January 5 (KCNA) -- The Korean people should protect their destiny, says Rodong Sinmun today in a by-lined article. The Koreans should stand against the aggression and war moves of outsiders and their followers and work hard to remove the danger of war so as to preserve peace on the Korean peninsula and reunify the country independently, come what may, it says, and continues: ��� Outsiders never protect the destiny of the Korean people, but always seek to plunge them into the holocaust of aggression and war. ��� Flunkeyism and dependence on outsiders lead the country to ruin. That is a lesson drawn by the Korean people from their long distress-torn history. ��� All the Koreans should have the transparent idea of national independence that they should preserve their destiny by their own efforts. ��� No force on earth can defeat the united Korean people. All the Koreans in the north and south of Korea and abroad should be imbued with the spirit of national independence and get united under the banner of the spirit. Only then can they beat the bellicose elements and partitionists at home and abroad in their moves for aggression and war. ��� All the Koreans should work hard to preserve the June 15 North-South Joint Declaration and put it into practice properly so as to demonstrate their spirit of independence and their united strength. _________________________________________________ KOMINFORM P.O.
