Dangerous U.S.-Japan military nexus flailed
Pyongyang, July 1 (KCNA) -- Japan and the United States reiterated the importance of strengthening "Japan-U.S. Security Alliance" at recent talks held between the Japanese senior diplomat and the President and the State Secretary of the U.S. the Japan Defense Agency is trying to establish a "working officials consultative council" under the military authorities of Japan and the U.S. while underscoring the "need for closer coordination" with the U.S. Defense Department.
Describing this as a highly disturbing development, Rodong Sinmun today in a signed commentary says that the strengthened Japan-U.S. alliance called for by the U.S. and Japan means tightening the military nexus between the two countries.
Saying that by strengthening the military tie-up with the U.S. Japan seeks to emerge as a military power with the backing of the U.S. and openly embark upon overseas aggression, the commentary continues:
Japan is employing a crafty trick to increase the combat capability of its "self-defense forces" and lay a legal "groundwork" for overseas aggression, while talking about strengthened alliance and "defence cooperation" with the U.S. these can not be construed otherwise than very dangerous military moves.
The Japanese reactionaries are taking great pains to realise their ambition to become a military power backed by the U.S. and realise their old dream of the "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere." It is the U.S. intention to realise its aggressive strategy toward Asia with Japan as a war servant.
The military nexus between Japan and the U.S. is primarily targeted against the DPRK.
It is their sinister intention to invade other Asian countries with the Korean peninsula as a springboard.
The nexus is very detrimental to peace, security and prosperity of the Asia-Pacific region.
The Asian people should be vigilant against the U.S.-Japan military nexus aimed at aggression and war and make efforts to curb it so as to prevent horrible disasters.
Kim Jong Il's political career praised in Russia
Pyongyang, July 1 (KCNA) -- The 25th issue of theRrussian newspaper Duel carried an article entitled "Leader Kim Jong Il's Century".
In the article the paper said that Kim Jong Il, leader of the DPRK, has rich political experience equivalent to that gained by any other country in one century.
Praising him as the most experienced statesman ever in the world, the article further said:
He was in his twenties when he graduated from Kim Il Sung University. This means that he has been totally dedicated to his service at several posts of the state.
During his political career he acquired such rich political experience as gained by other countries in one whole country because none of them experienced such total economic blockade, aggression and constant military and political provocation as the DPRK did. It is by no means an overstated expression.
Especially, the years of his revolutionary activities were the days of so grim political struggle that no slightest mistake was allowed to happen as was the case with the great President Kim Il Sung of the Korean people.
If he had once made a mistake, big or small, socialist Korea today would have already ceased to exist.
In the middle of the 1970s the DPRK built socialism guided by the Juche idea, following an ideologically independent line, not pursuant to the line of the central committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union which styled itself a leader of the international socialist movement.
Those countries which did not depend on their own strength, scoffing at the DPRK's independent political line, collapsed with the CPSU, but the DPRK is still standing up and growing stronger politically and economically.
Putting many achievements made in scores of years of Kim Jong Il's political activity together, one can say that he established in Korea an innovative political system whereby to unite the leader, the party and the people as one socio-political organism and thus the DPRK is advancing forward.
S. Korean organization on killings of civilians
Pyongyang, July 1 (KCNA) -- The All-People Committee for Probe into Massacres of Civilians Around the Korean War Period and their reinstatement called a press conference on June 27 as regards a guideline for investigation into the massacres advanced by the military compilation institute under the defence ministry of South Korea, the newspaper Hangyore reported.
At the conference the committee contended that the truth behind the massacres might be covered up under this guideline.
The guideline is laying an obstacle to probing the truth as it argues that such massacres couldn't be avoided in such military operations in general, said Kang Jong Gu, a permanent representative of the organization.
The committee also disclosed a document proving mass killings of civilians committed by the South Korean army and police during the last Korean War.
The fact shows that heavy responsibility for the killings rests with the U.S. forces which had right to operations at that time, it held.
Guideline for building economically powerful socialist nation
Pyongyang, July 1 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun today dedicates a signed article to the tenth anniversary of leader Kim Jong Il's famous work "Let us firmly arm ourselves with Juche-based theory on socialist economic management" (July 1, 1991).
Kim Jong Il in his work expounded the main principle of the socialist economic management on the basis of the Juche idea whereby the popular masses are made real masters of economic management and gave perfect scientific answers to the theoretical and practical problems arising in the system and way of the socialist economic management and the establishment of its mode with the principle as an ideological, theoretical and methodological basis, the article says, and goes on:
The work is an immortal library of economic management which comprehensively developed in depth and systematized in an integral way the Juche-based theory on socialist economic management enunciated by President Kim Il Sung in keeping with the new requirements of the developing revolution.
Thanks to Kim Jong Il's outstanding ideological and theoretical activities the Juche-based theory on socialist economic management the three components of which are the basic principle, system and method of socialist economic management has been perfected as a scientific revolutionary doctrine and a powerful ideological and theoretical instrument has been provided for consolidating and developing the socialist economic system, giving full play to its advantages and pushing ahead with socialist economic construction.
Under his wise guidance for the past ten years the Korean people have turned out in a dynamic struggle with a persevering will and thus triumphantly concluded the "arduous march", the forced march and wrought miracles and performed feats to provide a springboard from which to build a powerful socialist nation.
This is a shining fruition of his matchless grit, decision and outstanding leadership and a powerful demonstration of the invincible vitality of the Juche-based method of economic management which enables the popular masses to fulfil their responsibility and role in a responsible manner by combining the monolithic leadership of the party and the centralized and planned guidance of the state with the mass line.
Minju Joson today also carries an article on this occasion.
Ceaseless U.S. anti-DPRK moves
Pyongyang, July 1 (KCNA) -- The U.S. imperialists committed more than 130 cases of aerial espionage against the DPRK in June with overseas- and South Korea-based strategic and tactical reconnaissance planes on various missions, according to military sources.
On June 29 U-2 high-altitude strategic reconnaissance plane committed aerial espionage on all the areas of the DPRK, flying over Tokjok islet and Phochon and Sokcho areas from east to west for many hours. On June 5 and 13 RC-135 strategic reconnaissance plane also committed espionage on strategic targets of the DPRK.
The case of espionage by these reconnaissance planes numbered 36 in June.
EP-3 special operation plane, P-3 patrol plane, RC-12 and RC-7B tactical reconnaissance planes were involved in espionage on forefront and front line and eastern and western coastal areas of the DPRK.
Meanwhile, the U.S. imperialists staged aerial war manoeuvres against the DPRK in June with the sky above South Korea as an operational theatre.
From June 26 to 28 they sent more than 400 fighter planes including f-16 fighter bombers and a-10 assault planes belonging to the U.S. army, naval and air forces to the sky above Phyongchang, Kongju, Paeka islet and Ryoju areas for aerial strike, ground strike and close air support drills.
