Rodong Sinmun on S. Korea's call for "attraction of foreign capital"
Pyongyang, June 29 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun today lays bare the true nature of the South Korean authorities' treacherous call for "attraction of foreign capital."
In an article the daily says:
They are calling for "globalization and internationalization" of the economy. But their call is a sophism negating nation-state and national economy and a concept of treachery and dependence of modern version which will put the national economy and all other things belonging to the nation at the disposal of outsiders.
Obvious is the purpose of their call for "globalization of the economy" and "removal of economic borders." They intend to cover up with rigmaroles such indelible crimes of theirs as reducing South Korea, a colonial military base of outsiders, also to their economic colony. Dependence on foreign countries is treachery which leads to national ruin.
Without eradication of treacherous acts in South Korea, its economy can never emerge from the serious crisis.
"Attraction of foreign capital" is what only those seeking dependence on foreign countries can talk about for the sake of their own interests.
Due to the introduction of foreign capital, the South Korean economy has gone to ruin and the people bled white.
In actuality, the bailout loan by the international financial bodies is not for relief but for exploitation.
"Attraction of foreign capital" will result in reducing South Korea to a complete economic colony, giving profits only to outsiders and deteriorating the political and economic confusion and crisis of South Korean society.
The South Korean puppets must stop resorting to the deceptive, foolish and treacherous call for "attraction of foreign capital" and refrain from such flunkeyist and treacherous acts as sacrificing the South Korean economy to outsiders' interest.

Invariable design for domination
Pyongyang, June 29 (KCNA) -- U.S. and South Korean munitions-related officials recently held a "working-level meeting" in Seoul and discussed issues of expanding U.S. wartime support for South Korea, securing South Korea's capacity of independently developing an arms system and transferring U.S. military technology.
Commenting on this fact, a news analyst of Rodong Sinmun today says:
This reveals the U.S. invariable dominationist ambition to use the South Korean puppets as a shock brigade for the execution of its Asia strategy by arming them with uptodate military equipment and keep hold on South Korea as its overseas forward base and arms market.
The United States intends to stifle the DPRK with strength, militarily occupy the whole of Korea and, with it as a springboard, attain its military domination over East Asia and the Asia-Pacific region.
As long as the enemy persists in war moves to stifle our republic, we will continue to attach importance to the military and strengthen our self-reliant defence power for the sake of the security of our socialism and republic, that is, our life and soul.
Month of international solidarity with Korean people begins in Russia
Moscow, June 27 (KCNA) -- A meeting was held here on June 25 to open the month of international solidarity with the Korean people.
At the meeting Yuri Vanin, chief of the Korean affairs section of the institute of oriental studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, said the last Korean War was provoked by the U.S. imperialists and the South Korean puppet clique against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
The Korean people's victory in the great fatherland liberation war gives a valuable lesson to humankind, the speaker said, and went on:
The lesson is that nobody can bring to their knees the people who have a great leader, party and army and who advance for a good purpose. It is also that the Korean issue can never be settled by military force though the United States and its junior allies are making desperate efforts.
The United States and the South Korean puppet clique must renounce their design for another war and show sincerity to the DPRK-proposed negotiations.
Korea's reunification will surely be achieved as planned by Kim Il Sung and as intended by Kim Jong Il.
Marshal of the former Soviet Union Dmitry Yazov, at the meeting, praised the Korean people's efforts for the building of socialism and national reunification and called for lifting up voices of support and solidarity for them.
A letter to General Kim Jong Il was adopted at the meeting.

U.S. imperialists' deployment of armed forces to attack DPRK
Pyongyang, June 29 (KCNA) -- Before the outbreak of the war in Korea in 1950 the U.S. put aggression forces on offensive footing according to a war scenario against the DPRK. They built offensive positions in areas along the 38th parallel and amassed South Korean puppet army soldiers there.
On the U.S. order, the South Korean puppets moved divisions and regiments to the areas along the 38th parallel in May and June, 1950.
Thus, five divisions were deployed along the Military Demarcation Line as the first echelon and three divisions near Seoul as operational reserves.
The U.S. imperialists put their forces on offensive footing so that they could be quickly hurled into the Korean War.
And they moved the Japan-based U.S. 24th and 7th divisions around port and airport and put them on the alert.
They also built naval and air force bases in Japan and on islands in the pacific, taking it into consideration that the U.S. mainland is far off from the Korean peninsula.
They deployed many military planes and vessels on islands in the pacific.
Besides, in February 1950, they attached an aircraft carrier, cruisers and destroyers to the U.S. 7th fleet, thus increasing the number of naval ships in the far east.
Concentrically deployed in this region were upwards of 12 flying wings including three wings of B-26s, B-29s and other bombers, six wings of fighter planes, two wings of transport planes and other military planes.
Having deployed aggression forces to attack the northern half of the DPRK, they blared that if they unleashed the Korean War, they could easily carry it out.
However, their attack was frustrated by the counteroffensive of the Korean People's Army from the very beginning of the Korean War.
Salt production picks up
