Kim Jong Il enjoys art performance

     Pyongyang, January 5 (KCNA) - General Secretary Kim Jong Il on Saturday saw together with servicepersons an art performance given by the KPA merited chorus on the occasion of the New Year. Among the audience were secretaries Kim Kuk Thae and Kim Ki Nam, department directors and first vice department directors and senior officials of the WPK Central Committee, KPA generals Ri Myong Su, Hyon Chol Hae, Pak Jae Gyong and other general officers.
    The chorus honored with Kim Il Sung order put on the stage choruses including "Cantata to Marshal Kim Il Sung", "Cantata to Comrade Kim Jong Il", "The General Leads the New Century", " My Blessed Life", "Let Us Hold High the Red Flag", etc.
    The performers sang with high pride of the road of victory and glory covered by our revolution under the uplifted red flag of the revolution and clearly demonstrated the iron faith and will of the army and people to accomplish the revolutionary cause of Juche pioneered in the forest of Mt. Paektu holding aloft the banner of army-based policy despite all trials and difficulties.
    He waved to the enthusiastically cheering performers and audience before congratulating the artistes on their successful performance.
    Greatly satisfied with its artistes' successful presentation of the numbers replete with the faith and will of the DPRK and revolutionary spirit of soldiers, he extended thanks to them and expressed great expectation and belief that all of them would fully demonstrate the might of the militant art group in the worthwhile struggle in the New Year.

U.S. urged to take hands off Korea     Pyongyang, January 5 (KCNA) -- The Central Committee of the Communist Workers' Party-Communist Party of Russia in a recent statement urged the U.S. to take its hands off Korea. The U.S. imperialists have worked very hard to hinder the economic development of the DPRK after stopping its supply of heavy oil to the DPRK and ditching the DPRK-U.S. Agreed Framework already signed, the statement noted, agreed framework and the north-south joint declaration on denuclearization by stopping its supply of heavy oil to the DPRK after defining it as part of an "axis of evil" and including it in the targets of a preemptive nuclear attack.
    The DPRK keeps the door of dialogue for a peaceful settlement of the issue open with maximum restraint while warning the U.S. against its unilateral and extreme breach of the AF several times and taking necessary counter-measures.
    But the Bush administration, saying it will not invade the DPRK, has made controversial assertions that it cannot respond to the DPRK's proposal for concluding a non-aggression treaty.
    And some countries in the west are laying grave obstacles in the way of settling the issues raising a hue and cry over the DPRK's "violation of international agreement" on the basis of U.S. false stories.
    If there are countries which are concerned for the settlement of the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula, they, proceeding from a fair stand, should force the U.S. to remain true to the international agreement so that it may discontinue its unilateral behavior.
    It is self-evident that if they try to curry favor with the U.S. by following its extreme acts failing to do so, the situation on the Korean Peninsula will be pushed to a phase of crisis.
    There is a limit to the DPRK's forbearance and patience. The U.S. is well advised to ponder over the grave consequences to be entailed by its hostile policy to stifle the DPRK.
    If the U.S. persists in its policy to isolate and stifle the DPRK, the U.S. will be branded as a disturber of peace and stability in Northeast Asia, shameless aggressor and the main obstacle to Korea's reunification and go to ruin.

Show of controversial U.S. film protested

     Pyongyang, January 5 (KCNA) -- The solidarity of youth and students for implementing the June 15 South-North Joint Declaration reportedly issued a statement on Dec. 31 in protest against the show of the U.S. film "James Bond-007" which insults the Koreans and reflects its hostile policy toward the north. The film represents the real intention of the U.S. keen on war as it considers the north as part of an "axis of evil," fans up division and confrontation between the south and the north and insults and makes mockery of the Korean nation, the statement said, and went on:
    Through the show of the film the U.S. seeks to strain the situation on the Korean Peninsula which has favorably developed since the publication of the June 15 joint declaration.
    If the U.S. continues showing the movie despising the Korean nation, all the people will turn out in a fiercer anti-U.S. struggle.

Rodong Sinmun on idea of "By Our Nation Itself"

     Pyongyang, January 5 (KCNA) --The idea of "By Our Nation Itself" set out in the historic June 15 North-South Joint Declaration serves as a great proposition for national reunification and a fundamental idea in the era of independence and reunification. This fully reflects the spirit of national independence all the Koreans should follow and uphold. Rodong Sinmun today says this in a signed article. It goes on:
    The idea of "By Our Nation Itself" is based on a high degree of national consciousness that a nation is responsible for carving out its destiny and great national pride and self-respect that our nation is the best in the world.
    The idea represents the firm belief that there is nothing impossible in the world if the entire nation unites.
    If reunification is to be achieved, our nation aspiring after reunification should pool its efforts, not depending on the foreign forces opposed to reunification. When all members of the nation of the same blood and with the same history, unite close with each other, nothing will be stronger than this unity and more powerful than its strength.
    The idea of "By Our Nation Itself" means the vitality of the movement for national reunification. All Koreans should wage a more vigorous reunification movement under the banner of national independence in line with this noble idea.
    "Let us bring earlier the independent reunification by the concerted efforts of our nation". This is the slogan of faith and struggle that all the Koreans should always put up on the road of concord, peace and reunification.
    It is the united struggle of the nation that can foil the anti-reunification and aggression moves of foreign forces. Pro-reunification patriotic forces at home and abroad should strengthen solidarity and unity based on the achievements and experience already gained and conduct steadily and dynamically patriotic movement for reunification to bring hope to the whole nation.

Servicemen's meeting held

     Pyongyang, January 5 (KCNA) -- A meeting of servicemen of the Ministry of the People's Armed Forces took place at the Conference Hall of the Ministry on Saturday to vow to carry out the militant tasks set forth in the Joint New Year Editorial. Present there were Jo Myong Rok, director of the general political department of the Korean People's Army, Kim Yong Chun, chief of the general staff of the KPA, Kim Il Chol, Minister of the People's Armed Forces, and other leading officials and servicemen of the ministry.
    Jo Myong Rok made a report which was followed by speeches.
    The reporter and speakers said the joint new year editorial is important guidelines as it clearly indicates grandiose tasks facing the Korean people this year and ways of carrying them out and serves as a banner encouraging the whole party and army and all the people to turn out in an all-out march in the New Year.
    They called for demonstrating to the full the might of reliable defender of the republic and the revolutionary army, upholding the militant slogan of the Workers' Party of Korea "Let us achieve a great victory with the might of the army-based policy this year, which marks the 55th birthday of the DPRK".
    They also called for steadily intensifying the movement to win the title of O Jung Hup's 7th Regiment and preparing the revolutionary armed forces as ranks that throw in their lot with the Supreme Commander and devotedly defend him and as the first-line human bombs protecting the headquarters of the revolution with their lives.
    Saying that the destiny of the country and the final victory of the army-based revolution are guaranteed by the people's army, they underscored the need to bring about a fresh turn in increasing the combat capability of its units and sub-units and making combat preparedness displaying the might of the revolutionary army who finds nothing impossible on the forefront of building an economically strong nation when assigned any task by the WPK and speeding up the building of a powerful nation.

U.S. hostile policy toward DPRK bound to go busted

     Pyongyang, January 5 (KCNA) -- The nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula is an issue that should be settled through DPRK-U.S. dialogue as it is a product of the U.S. hostile policy toward the DPRK. The DPRK, therefore, has consistently proposed dialogue with the U.S. without preconditions and conclusion of a non-aggression treaty with the U.S. there is no change in the DPRK stand to settle the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula in a peaceful way.
    However, Boucher, a spokesman for the U.S. State Department, in a press conference on Jan. 3 repeated the U.S. demand that the DPRK "scrap its nuclear program first", openly revealing the U.S. intention to disarm the DPRK. This goes to prove that the U.S. moves to internationalize the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula to create an atmosphere of pressure on the DPRK and isolate and stifle it are becoming all the more undisguised entering the New Year.
    Recently the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula has become worse owing to the bush administration which ditched, in fact, the NPT, the DPRK-U.S. Agreed Framework and the north-south joint declaration on denuclearization by stopping its supply of heavy oil to the DPRK after defining it as part of an "axis of evil" and including it in the targets of a preemptive nuclear attack.
    The DPRK keeps the door of dialogue for a peaceful settlement of the issue open with maximum restraint while warning the U.S. against its unilateral and extreme breach of the AF several times and taking necessary counter-measures.
    But the Bush administration, saying it will not invade the DPRK, has made controversial assertions that it cannot respond to the DPRK's proposal for concluding a non-aggression treaty.
    And some countries in the west are laying grave obstacles in the way of settling the issues raising a hue and cry over the DPRK's "violation of international agreement" on the basis of U.S. false stories.
    If there are countries which are concerned for the settlement of the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula, they, proceeding from a fair stand, should force the U.S. to remain true to the international agreement so that it may discontinue its unilateral behavior.
    It is self-evident that if they try to curry favor with the U.S. by following its extreme acts failing to do so, the situation on the Korean Peninsula will be pushed to a phase of crisis.
    There is a limit to the DPRK's forbearance and patience. The U.S. is well advised to ponder over the grave consequences to be entailed by its hostile policy to stifle the DPRK.
    If the U.S. persists in its policy to isolate and stifle the DPRK, the U.S. will be branded as a disturber of peace and stability in Northeast Asia, shameless aggressor and the main obstacle to Korea's reunification and go to ruin.

Kim Jong Il inspects KPA detachment defending island

     Pyongyang, December 4 (KCNA) - General Secretary Kim Jong Il inspected an island defence detachment of KPA unit no. 1106 on Tuesday. He was accompanied by KPA generals Ri Myong Su, Hyon Chol Hae and Pak Jae Gyong and Ri Yong Chol, member of the Central Military Commission of the WPK and first vice department director of the Central Committee of the WPK.
    After being briefed on the performance of the detachment's duty by its commander, he inspected fire positions and posts of the detachment to learn in detail about the deployment of forces.
    He was greatly satisfied to learn that in hearty response to the WPK's military line for self-defence the commanding officers and servicepersons of the detachment have turned the island into an impregnable fortress and reliably defended the gateway to the socialist homeland in the spirit of annihilating the enemy, and highly praised them.
    Noting that the detachment standing guard over the frontline posts of the country has a very important duty to fulfil, he set forth highly important tasks which would serve as guidelines in further increasing the combat capacity of the unit to consolidate the defence theatre as firm as an iron wall.
    After watching the servicepersons of the detachment in combat training, he said that Korean socialism is sure to win and the revolutionary cause of Juche will surely be accomplished thanks to the powerful armed forces, whose core is the heroic KPA ready to dedicate youth and lives to the party and the leader, the country and its people.
    Then he met with officer of the detachment Jo Yong Nam and his families and had a warm conversation with them, acquainting himself in detail with their work and lives.
    The next leg of his inspection was a company under the detachment.
    Looking round an education room, bedroom, kitchen, daily provision store, a washroom and other places, he learned in detail about their diet, sleeping conditions, entertainment and sanitary things. He showed deep loving care for its servicepersons, saying that they should be provided with the best living conditions as they are defending the country from a solitary island far away from the land.
    He enjoyed an art performance given by servicepersons of the company.
    He gave the detachment a pair of binoculars and an automatic rifle as gifts before having a photograph taken with the servicepersons of the detachment and their families.

Intensified anti-U.S. struggle called for

     Pyongyang, January 4 (KCNA) -- The U.S. imperialists foiled the scheduled experimental overland tour of Mt. Kumgang and ground-breaking ceremony for the construction of the Kaesong Industrial Zone, which is an undisguised interference in the Korean nation's cause of independent reunification and the most brazen-faced anti-reunification act. Rodong Sinmun today says this in a signed commentary.
    It goes on:
    All the Koreans are now expressing hatred and resentment at the United States which is laying obstacles in the inter-Korean economic cooperation and exchange now under way in the spirit of the June 15 North-South Joint Declaration.
    The U.S. imperialists are leading inter-Korean dialogue, cooperation and exchange as a whole to a crisis, while rendering the military confrontation and tensions on the Korean Peninsula extremely strained under the pretext of "nuclear issue". They blocked the experimental overland tour of Mt. Kumgang and the ground-breaking ceremony for the construction of the Kaesong Industrial Zone in the wake of their obstructions to the projects of reconnecting the inter-Korean rail and road links in November last year. Which proves that they do not allow any reconciliation and cooperation between the north and the south while seeking to provoke a nuclear war against the north under the pretext of "nuclear issue". It is none other than the U.S. that clouds the atmosphere of peace and reunification and aggravates the military confrontation and tensions on the Korean Peninsula.
    The anti-Americanism is an urgent requirement of the reality and the trend of the times. In the New Year, too, all the Koreans at home and abroad will turn out with their resolute will for independent national reunification to shatter the U.S. imperialists' vicious anti-reunification and aggression moves and step up the advance for reunification.

U.S. is to blame for present situation

     Pyongyang, January 4 (KCNA) -- The DPRK took a measure for lifting the nuclear freeze since the United States unilaterally suspended its duty to supply heavy oil to make up for the loss of electric power, says Rodong Sinmun in a signed commentary today. Therefore, it stresses, the U.S. is entirely to blame for the present complicated situation. To peacefully resolve the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula is the consistent stand of the DPRK. Thus it proposed to conclude a non-aggression treaty with the U.S., the commentary notes, and goes on:
    There is no reason why the U.S. should not accept the proposal, the best way for peaceful solution of the nuclear issue in the Korean Peninsula.
    The U.S. should have shown due response to the patient efforts of the DPRK.
    However, the U.S. intensified international pressure offensives against the DPRK, insisting on "scrapping nuclear program first before dialogue". This serious situation compelled the DPRK to start removing seals and monitoring cameras from the frozen nuclear facilities so as to normally operate them necessary for production of electricity. This is part of the DPRK's mode of revolutionary and independent counter responding to the U.S. imperialists' tough policy with the toughest one.
    The present situation is very serious and unpredictable.
    The DPRK cannot but take a strong counter measure by itself in defence of the sovereignty of the country and the right to existence.
    If the U.S. imperialists misjudge the might and will of the DPRK and make a preemptive attack, the DPRK will deal a mortal blow to the war provokers with its powerful counter strike.
    The U.S. imperialist warhawks should contemplate. And other countries should have correct understanding of the issue of responsibility for the present situation.

Rodong Sinmun on national dignity and self-respect

     Pyongyang, January 4 (KCNA) -- A struggle for achieving reconciliation, unity and reunification of the Korean nation in the New Year is one to embody the spirit of "By the Korean Nation Itself" as well as an immensely worthwhile struggle for highly demonstrating the dignity and might of the Korean nation, a homogeneous nation, Rodong Sinmun today says in a signed article. Noting that national dignity and self-respect are the noble idea and sentiment based on the advantages of the nation, the article continues:
    The Korean nation is the greatest nation in the world.
    They have lived in their land since the dawn of human history, creating their peculiar history and culture.
    The advantages of the Korean nation have been handed down generation after generation with its ancient history. It came to give fuller play to them as it acclaimed President Kim Il Sung, a peerless patriot and a peerlessly great man, and leader Kim Jong Il, the sun of the nation, as the leaders of the nation, and the Korean nation could demonstrate its dignity to the world as a great nation with exceptionally high pride.
    We should fully demonstrate the national dignity and honor, highly proud of holding Kim Jong Il, the sun of the 21st century, in high esteem as the leader of the Korean nation.
    The division of the country is the main factor of hurting dignity and self-respect of the Korean nation.
    The independent right and dignity of the Korean nation are trampled down and the people's right to existence is also threatened by the U.S. troops' presence in South Korea. This national tragedy should be terminated.
    All Koreans in the north and the south and overseas should wage a vigorous drive to implement the June 15 joint declaration this year, preserving the dignity and self-respect of the nation with a brilliant history spanning 5,000 years, and thus promote the cause of national independence, the cause of national reunification.

Nuclear issue on Korean Peninsula should be settled between DPRK and U.S.

     Moscow, January 1 (KCNA) -- The nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula can never be a matter of international character in any case because it can be settled when the U.S. gives a legal guarantee of security such as the conclusion of a non-aggression treaty with the DPRK. Pak Ui Chun, DPRK Ambassador to Russia, said this at a press conference at the embassy on Dec. 31.
    Referring to the Dec. 29 statement of a spokesman for the DPRK Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he continued:
    The nuclear issue of the Korean Peninsula, a product of the U.S. hostile policy toward the DPRK, should be settled between the DPRK and the U.S. the issue is recently more complicated by the bush administration that designated the DPRK as part of an "axis of evil" and a target of its forestalling nuclear attacks and ditched the DPRK-U.S. Agreed Framework with a stop to supplying heavy oil to the DPRK.
    The DPRK has warned the U.S. several times and taken counter measures, leaving the door of dialogue open for a peaceful solution of the issue with utmost self-control and patience.
    This is evidenced by the DPRK-proposed conclusion of a non-aggression treaty with the U.S.
    But the Bush administration is refusing the dialogue and claiming that it can not bring itself to make a legal promise of non-aggression.
    The U.S. assertion and loudmouthed grounds do not reflect the will of the international community and nobody has given it the right to represent the international community.
    Inspection has been agreed on and carried out on a limited scale between the DPRK and the IAEA, which came according to the agreed framework and DPRK's voluntary and good-intentioned measure to verify the transparency of nuclear activity.
    Any country that truly wants a stable situation of the Korean Peninsula should clearly know that the nuclear issue on the peninsula is not a matter of international character described by the U.S. but an issue that should be settled between the DPRK and the U.S. and play a positive role to force the U.S. to come out to the dialogue with the DPRK without precondition.
    Then he answered questions put by journalists.

U.S. hostile policy toward DPRK blasted

     Pyongyang, January 3 (KCNA) -- The Central Executive Committee of the Nepal Communist Party (United) sent a letter of protest to Bush on Dec. 24, demanding the immediate withdrawal of the U.S. hostile policy toward the DPRK. Recalling that the U.S. administration has obstructed peace and reunification of Korea and ditched the DPRK-U.S. Agreed Framework related to the building of light water reactors and the supply of heavy oil, the letter said that the party bitterly denounces U.S. hostile policy toward the peace-loving DPRK.
    The letter demanded the U.S. administration immediately drop its hostile policy toward the DPRK.
    On the same day, the Socialist Unionist Party of Syria issued a statement condemning the U.S. nuclear racket.
    Saying it makes sense that the DPRK removed seals and monitoring cameras of nuclear facilities, the statement stressed the party fully supports the stand of the DPRK led by Kim Jong Il and will always stand by the Korean people until Korea is reunified.

GI killing of schoolgirls criticized in S. Korea

     Pyongyang, January 3 (KCNA) -- The South Korean Council of Representatives of Teachers' College students reportedly released an appeal on Dec. 29, denouncing the GIs' killing of schoolgirls. In the appeal the organization said the death of the two schoolgirls proved that Koreans have been deprived of independence and sovereignty by the U.S. It noted that they were awakened by the continued struggle of civic and public organizations and students and anti-U.S. resistance in front of the U.S. embassy that informed the world of the people's wrath.
    The organization called on all students to unite to fight until the shackling South Korea-U.S. Status of Forces Agreement is revised overall and they get an open apology of arrogant Bush.

Grand candlelight procession in S. Korea

     Pyongyang, January 3 (KCNA) -- The All-People Measure Committee for Sin Hyo Sun and Sim Mi Son, Schoolgirls Killed By a U.S. Armored Car, sponsored one million-man candle-light procession in Seoul, which continued from Dec. 31 to the New Year's Day with over 50,000 citizens and students attending, according to MBC of South Korea. Figures from all walks of life spoke at a rally.
    O Jong Ryol, permanent chairman of the national alliance for democracy and reunification, said that the U.S. is rocked by their proud candle-light march and called for holding high candle-lights of conscience.
    Hong Kun Su, co-representative of the measure committee, expressed the determination not to live as a slave even if he died holding high a candle light of peace and freedom in his hand.
    Ri Kwan Bok, advisor to the measure committee, read out an article to the people under the title of "Let us make the new year 2003 a year of independence and peace."
    After the rally the participants began arm-in-arm candle-light procession up to the U.S. embassy.
    The police was hell-bent on suppression of the procession, arresting officials of the measure committee including priest Hong Kun Su.
    Enraged at the suppression, the demonstrators pulled down the police from the bus and gave vent to their wrath writing on the bus such letters as "Overall revision of SOFA" and "Save Hyo Sun and Mi Son from death".
    After the procession they held a function to greet a New Year of independence and peace on the Kwanghwamun and Jonggak crossing streets and Jongro street.

Japan urged to drop U.S.-toeing policy

     Pyongyang, January 3 (KCNA) -- For Japan to follow the U.S. anachronistic hostile policy toward the DPRK without a political principle leads to its self-destruction, says Rodong Sinmun today in its signed commentary. The DPRK and Japan in Asia as close neighbors should promote cooperation, co-existence and co-prosperity which is beneficial to them in various aspects, the commentary says, and goes on:
    The Japanese right-wing forces do wrongs following the U.S. hostile policy towards the DPRK.
    It is only too clear that their moves are aimed to bar implementation of the Japan-DPRK Pyongyang Declaration, pursue confrontation and launch into reconquest with the backing of the U.S. imperialists.
    Japan has persistently insisted on an unreasonable assertion over the issue of abduction which has already been settled.
    Which is not helpful towards the improvement of the DPRK-Japan relations and mutual confidence building at all. It has adverse effect on them. Japan's liquidation of the past is at core of the declaration.
    Shunning the liquidation of the past, the master key to nomorlization of the DPRK-Japan relations, while putting to the fore the issue of abduction which is not essential is a thing that can be done only by those who don't want the improvement of the DPRK-Japan relations.
    The pro-U.S. conservatives in Japan are throwing obstacles in the way of the implementation of the declaration under the pressure of the United States.
    Japan should drop the inborn U.S.-toeing policy.
