Present there were members of the art troupe led by Mun Tal Sung, vice-chairman of the central standing committee of the Korean Youth League in Japan, on a visit to the socialist homeland. ��� On hand were Choe Thae Bok, secretary of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, Choe Hwi, secretary of the central committee of the Kim Il Sung Socialist Youth League, and officials concerned. ��� Speeches were made at the reception. ��� A joint art performance was given by schoolchildren in Pyongyang and members of the art troupe at the reception. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bush administration hit for obstructing peaceful reunification of Korea ��� Pyongyang, January 12 (KCNA) -- Bush administration's hostile policy towards the DPRK and U.S. military presence in South Korea are a source of escalating tensions on the Korean peninsula and a chief obstacle to peace and reunification in this region, says Minju Joson today in a signed commentary. After declaring this year as a "year of war" the U.S. describes the DPRK as a "sponsor of terrorism" and takes issue with it over "missile threat" in an attempt to invent a pretext for the provocation of a war against the DPRK, the news analyst says, and goes on: ��� As the world people admit, the DPRK is always exposed to the threat of military terrorism from the U.S. ��� The DPRK has never fired even a single shell at the U.S. the latter has the largest number of missiles in the world. ��� The former's missile development is for self-defence from a to z. It is only the U.S. that is clamoring about "threat" from the DPRK in a bid to stifle it. ��� A campaign of the bush administration to stifle the DPRK is escalating the tensions on the Korean peninsula. This deteriorates the bilateral relations and has a baneful impact on inter-Korean relations. ��� For the removal of the confrontation between the DPRK and the U.S. and the north and south of Korea, a product of the cold war structure, and preservation of a lasting peace and stability in the Korean peninsula and the rest of the world it is necessary for the U.S. to drop its hostile policy towards the DPRK and pull its forces out of South Korea. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Complete Collection of Kim Il Sung's Works" vol. 40 published in DPRK ��� Pyongyang, January 12 (KCNA) -- "Complete Collection of Kim Il Sung's Works" volume 40 was published by the Workers' Party of Korea Publishing House.

terrorismo" y habla de la "amenaza de misiles" de esta a fin de procurar un pretexto para la provocacion de guerra de agresion al norte de corea. ��� como lo reconocen publicamente las personas del

poseedor del mayor numero de misiles en el mundo. el desarrollo del misil de la rpdc es estrictamente para la autodefensa. ee.uu. es el unico que vocifera de la "amenaza" de la rpdc tratando de
