Stop to Pressure for Troop Dispatch Demanded

     Pyongyang, November 20 (KCNA) -- The Emergency People's Action against the Additional Troop Dispatch to Iraq and the "Association of National Assemblymen for Peace against War" reportedly called a joint press conference in the building of the "National Assembly" on November 17. A press release carrying signatures of over 60 persons including Kim Song Ho and Kim Won Ung of the Uri Party and other "National Assemblymen" affiliated to the association and co-representatives and co-chairmen of the steering committee of the action was read out at the conference.
    The release held that the U.S. should stop the pressure for troop dispatch at once and the "government" re-examine the decision on the troop dispatch.
    It also demanded the punishment and replacement of those responsible for "national defense," the U.S. transfer of power to Iraq and withdrawal of the U.S. troops from it.
    Meanwhile, the Emergency People's Action against the Additional Troop Dispatch to Iraq and the Phyongthaek Committee of Measures against the Expansion of the U.S. Military Base held a protest rally in front of the building of the "Ministry of National Defense" on November 17.

Rumsfeld's S. Korea Trip Assailed

     Pyongyang, November 20 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun today dismisses U.S. Defense Secretary Rumsfeld's trip to south Korea as a criminal one of a war servant intended to hurl young south Koreans into Iraq to meet death and put the U.S. scenario to invade the DPRK into practice. The news analyst goes on:
    During his trip he had talks with the minister of the National Defense of south Korea at which he tried hard to wrest answers to a series of questions related to the issues of dispatching south Korean combat troops to Iraq, transferring the U.S. military base in Ryongsan, Seoul entirely at the expense of the south Korean authorities and relocating the U.S. occupation forces according to its new military doctrine for aggression.
    What is more clear from his visit is that the U.S. has not modified its hostile policy to invade the DPRK at all but its attempt at aggression has been pushed forward in real earnest.
    Another point at issue is that the U.S. seeks to force south Koreans to cover all the expenses for the transfer and relocation of the military bases for aggression to plunge Koreans into a war. This betrays the despicable and ferocious nature of the U.S. warhawks.
    The south Koreans should preserve their self-esteem and turn out in a nationwide anti-U.S. struggle to resolutely foil the U.S. high-handed and arbitrary practices intended to infringe upon the dignity and interests of the Korean nation and drive the aggression troops out of south Korea, not allowing it to transfer its bases.

Koreans Called Upon to Reject U.S. Pressure for Troop Dispatch

     Pyongyang, November 20 (KCNA) -- Minju Joson today in a signed commentary accuses high-ranking officials of the U.S. Departments of State and Defense, the U.S. ambassador to south Korea and others of pressurizing south Korea to send combatants of a divisional scope to Iraq as early as possible. It goes on:
    They assert that south Korea's passive attitude towards the issue of troop dispatch to Iraq would make a crack in the U.S.-south Korea relations and adversely affect the security of south Korea.
    This is nothing but a U.S. plot to plug south Korea into its Iraqi strategy and a sort of threat and blackmail against the latter.
    The south Korean authorities announced a decision on troop dispatch some time ago, yielding to the persistent pressure for troop dispatch put by the U.S. administration and military through various channels.
    South Korean people are conducting various forms of actions to disclose the U.S. unilateral arbitrary practices and the authorities' submission to it and demanding the withdrawal of the decision on troop dispatch.
    The pressure put by the U.S. upon south Korea to send combatants to Iraq under the pretext of "alliance" is intended to use young south Koreans as its bullet shields in a bid to put Iraq under its permanent occupation.
    It is necessary to foil the U.S. sinister plot to attain its aggressive purpose at the sacrifice of young south Koreans.
    It is, in fact, shame on the nation that south Korea is behaving at the U.S. beck and call without maintaining its assertion and view.
    The south Korean people can live in peace only when the unequal "agreement" and "treaty" concluded with the U.S. are ditched, the shackling "alliance" is abrogated and the U.S. troops are driven out of south Korea.
    They can achieve this only through anti-U.S. resistance.

    Pak Pong Ju, premier of the Cabinet, in a speech said that their visit to the DPRK is of greater significance as it is taking place after the 55th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries was marked. He went on to say:

    The friendly and cooperative relations are favorably developing in line with the desire and interests of the two peoples under the deep care of Comrade Kim Jong Il, the great leader of our people, and the Mongolian leadership.

    It is our consistent stand to steadily develop the bilateral relations, he noted, adding that the DPRK would make positive efforts to expand and develop the friendship with the Mongolian people in different fields as required by the new century and closely cooperate with the Mongolian government.
    Nambariin Enkhbayar in a speech said: New principled changes have taken place in the relations between the two countries over the last more than decade.
    The signing of a treaty of friendly relations and cooperation between Mongolia and the DPRK in 2002 opened a new chapter in the history of the two countries.
    I would like to emphasize that the traditional cooperative relations between the two countries are favorably developing in different fields in the spirit of the treaty.
    Our generation has a commitment to play an important role in further expanding and developing in the new century the historic friendly relations the foundation of which was provided by the preceding leaders of the two countries.
    Our visit to the DPRK would mark an important occasion in expanding not only the bilateral relations but the cooperative relations in the region and ensuring peace and security.
    Our government and people are very pleased with the fact that Comrade Kim Jong Il, the great leader of the Korean people, shows deep concern for the expansion and development of the cooperative relations between the two countries.

    Present there were Ri Kwang Gun, minister of Foreign Trade, and other officials concerned.
    A performance of artistes was given there.

    He fought bravely for victory in the war, serving in the People's Army during the Fatherland Liberation War, and dedicated all his energy and wisdom at local Party and power bodies in the days of postwar socialist construction.
    He energetically worked to steadfastly defend and carry through the Party's line of building socialist economy and develop the rural economy of the country at responsible posts for many years such as the director of the Secretariat and vice-premier of the Administration Council and the chairman of the Agricultural Commission.

Justice and Invincibility of Cause of Pomminryon Stressed

     Pyongyang, November 20 (KCNA) -- Only victory and glory are always in store for the National Alliance for the Country's Reunification (Pomminryon), says Rodong Sinmun today in a signed article dedicated to the 13th anniversary of Pomminryon. It continues:
    With the formation of Pomminryon on November 20, Juche 79 (1990), the Korean nation came to increase the might of the internal patriotic force for reunification with an organizational stronghold for achieving the great unity of the nation, a powerful guarantee for the reunification of the country, and the national reunification movement develop more briskly and purposefully and consciously on a nation-wide scale, orchestrated by the umbrella organization of the reunification movement.
    Since its formation Pomminryon has recorded a history of righteous struggle for national unity and the reunification of the country, true to the noble idea and line of great national unity of President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il, the suns of the nation.
    Pomminryon has built an orderly organizational system with its regional headquarters and branches in the north and the south of the country and overseas and, on this basis, laid a solid massive foundation of the reunification movement involving compatriots of all strata.
    Pomminryon has roused all the fellow countrymen at home and abroad for national unity and the cause of national reunification and vigorously waged the patriotic struggle for independent national reunification to strictly carry into reality Kim Jong Il's idea of independent reunification, faithful to the behests of Kim Il Sung on national reunification.
    The 13 years since its formation have been a course of tireless efforts to achieve national unity and reunification and this course has been significant days during which the justice and vitality of the Juche-oriented idea and line of great national unity have been fully displayed.
    Pomminryon should further consolidate its organizations to meet the requirements of the changing situation and the era of independent reunification and more powerfully promote national unity and the reunification movement.
    Pomminryon should build up fiercer flames of the struggle of the whole nation to frustrate the U.S. reckless acts to isolate and stifle the DPRK and anti-reunification moves of the south Korean traitorous flunkeyist forces toeing the U.S. line.

U.S. Urged to Compensate for Loss of Electricity

     Pyongyang, November 20 (KCNA) -- The Asian Regional Committee for Supporting Korea's Reunification and the All-India Indo-Korean Friendship Association in a joint statement on November 14 strongly urged the U.S. to compensate for the huge loss of electric power it has caused to the DPRK. The U.S. is now coming out with the far-fetched assertion that the DPRK should allow the withdrawal of equipment brought for the construction of light water reactors while misleading public opinion to create the impression that the DPRK is to blame for the scrap of the DPRK-U.S. Agreed Framework (AF), the statement said, and went on:
    The stoppage of the LWR construction is a concentrated product of the Bush administration's hostile policy toward the DPRK.
    From the first days of its office the administration, true to its physical quality, denied the political system of the DPRK after designating the DPRK as part of "an axis of evil" and a target of preemptive nuclear strike. And in October 2002 the U.S. openly threatened and pressurized the DPRK, groundlessly alleging that it was violating the AF by promoting "enriched uranium program" to manufacture nuclear weapons.
    We hold that the U.S. should renounce its hostile policy toward the DPRK and sincerely respond to the aboveboard measures taken by the DPRK to ensure genuine peace on the Korean peninsula.

S. Korean Authorities Urged to Guarantee Free Activities of Unconverted Prisoners

     Pyongyang, November 20 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the Korean Measure Committee to Save Unconverted Long-term Prisoners in South Korea in a statement on November 20 held that only unconverted long-term prisoners are not allowed to tour Mt. Kumgang though no restriction is put on anyone, a clear violation of the spirit of the historic June 15 North-South Joint Declaration and an intolerable inhumane act. The statement continued:
    Shortly ago unconverted long-term prisoners in south Korea applied for the tour of Mt. Kumgang but the south Korean authorities disallowed it, absurdly asserting that the term of observation is not yet over under the "law on observation for public peace".
    The south Korean authorities have not accepted the DPRK's proposal for repatriating all the remaining unconverted long-term prisoners in south Korea within this year and prevented them from touring the mountain. This clearly proved that south Korea, a U.S. colony, is a graveyard of human rights and democracy.
    The south Korean authorities should provide the unconverted long-term prisoners with the freedom of activities and unconditionally repatriate all of them to the DPRK at the earliest possible date as desired by them in the spirit of the joint declaration.
    The statement expressed the expectation that the Committee for the Promotion of the Repatriation of Unconverted Long-term Prisoners and other human rights organizations and people would turn out in the campaign for their repatriation.

EE.UU. debe indemnizar la tremenda perdida electrica causada a la RPDC

     Pyongyang, 20 de noviembre (ATCC) -- El Comite Regional Asiatico de Apoyo a la Reunificacion de Corea y la Asociacion de Amistad India-Corea de Toda la India en su declaracion conjunta fechada 14 demandaron energicamente que EE.UU. indemnice la tremenda perdida electrica causada a la Republica Popular Democratica de Corea. La declaracion senala:
    En los ultimos dias, EE.UU. vuelve a desviar a la opinion publica como si la responsabilidad de anulacion del Acuerdo Basico RPDC-EE.UU. la debiera asumir esta e insiste obstinadamente en que esta debe permitir la retirada de las instalaciones de construccion de los reactores de agua ligera y otros.
    El cese de la construccion de los reactores de agua ligera es el resultado de la politica hostil de la administracion Bush a Corea.
    La administracion Bush, desde el principio de su toma del poder, definio a la RPDC como "eje del mal" y el blanco de primer ataque nuclear y expreso la negacion constitucional al regimen de la RPDC. Y en octubre del 2002 le acuso sin fundamento diciendo que esta al acelerar el "plan de condensacion de uranio" con el proposito de fabricacion de armas nuclear viola el Acuerdo Basico Corea-EE.UU. y le ejercio la amenaza y la presion abiertas.
    Insistimos en que EE.UU. debe abandonar su politica hostil a la RPDC y aceptar sinceramente las medidas imparciales tomadas por esta para preservar la verdadera paz en la Peninsula Coreana.

Causa de la APRP es justa

     Pyongyang, 20 de noviembre (ATCC) -- Ante el camino a seguir por la Alianza Pannacional para la Reunificacion de la Patria (APRP) estaran siempre la victoria y la gloria. Asi senala hoy el periodico "Rodong Sinmun" en un articulo individual insertado con motivo del 13 aniversario de la fundacion de esta organizacion y continua:
    La APRP fue organizada el 20 de noviembre del 79 (1990) de la Era Juche.
    Desde su fundacion hasta la fecha, la APRP registro una historia de la sagrada lucha por la unidad nacional y la reintegracion de la patria en pleno acato a la noble idea y la linea del Presidente Kim Il Sung y del Dirigente Kim Jong Il, quienes son el Sol de la nacion, en materia de la gran unidad nacional.
    Al organizar las direcciones regionales y sucursales en el Norte y el Sur de Corea y en ultramar, dispuso de un ordenado sistema organizativo y, basandose en esto, consolido una base masiva del movimiento por la reunificacion, compuesto de coreanos de distintos sectores.
    Tambien, para materializar estrictamente el legado del Presidente en materia de la reunificacion de la patria y la idea de reintegracion independiente del Dirigente, la APRP llamo a todos los coreanos internos y externos a realizar la unidad nacional y la causa de la reintegracion de la patria e impulso energicamente la lucha patriotica por la reunificacion independiente nacional.

    Conforme a la situacion en cambio y la epoca de la reunificacion independiente, la APRP debe fortalecer aun mas su organizacion y promover con mas energia el movimiento por la unidad y la reunificacion de la nacion .
    Tambien, debe desarrollar una energica lucha pannacional por frustrar las imprudentes maquinaciones de EE.UU. tendentes a aislar y aplastar la Republica Popular Democratica de Corea y las conjuras anti-reunificacion de las fuerzas serviles a las grandes potencias del Sur de Corea.

"Rodong Sinmun" denuncia un viaje de Rumsfeld al Sur de Corea

     Pyongyang, 20 de noviembre (ATCC) -- El viaje de Rumsfeld, secretario de Defensa norteamericano al Sur de Corea es el criminal de un maniaco de guerra para inmolar a los jovenes y adultos surcoreanos en la guerra iraqui y realizar su plan de guerra de agresion al Norte de Corea. Asi senala el diario "Rodong Sinmun" en un comentario individual de hoy y continua:
    Durante su permanencia, Rumsfeld sostuvo "conversaciones" con el "ministro de Defensa Nacional" del Sur de Corea, en las cuales procuro recibir de este las respuestas sobre el problema de envio de los efectivos de combate del Sur de Corea a Iraq, el de mudanza de la base norteamericana de Ryongsan en Seul segun las cargas enteras de los gastos por las autoridades surcoreanas, el de reemplazamiento de las tropas yanquis segun su nueva doctrina militar del caracter agresivo y otros.
    El presente viaje de Rumsfeld demuestra mas claramente que no ha cambiado de la politica agresiva y hostil de EE.UU. a Corea sino se promueve con gran rapidez el intento de agresion de EE.UU. al Norte de Corea.
    El otro problema es que EE.UU. da prisa a la mudanza de la base de sus tropas agresivas y el reemplazamiento de estas para llevar la nacion coreana a una catastrofe de guerra e intenta imputar a los habitantes surcoreanos los gastos por el respecto.
    Los habitantes surcoreanos deben levantarse energicamente en la lucha nacional antiyanqui por frustrar rotundamente el despotismo y la arbitrariedad de EE.UU. tendentes a danar la dignidad y el interes de la nacion y en la lucha no por la mudanza de la base sino retirar completamente a las tropas agresivas norteamericanas.
