Inter-Korean General-level Military Talks Close

    Pyongyang, May 19 (KCNA) -- The 4th North-South General-level Military Talks which opened in the portion of the south side in Panmunjom closed Thursday. For the successful talks the north side made an analysis and review of the differences manifested in both sides' stands at the 3rd talks and in the subsequent period and on this basis advanced more specific proposals related to the agenda item.
    The proposal for removing the very cause of military clashes in the waters of the West Sea of Korea and realizing joint fishing there and all other proposals put forward by the north side's delegation are fair and aboveboard offers which fully meet the requirements of the June 15 era of reunification and they indicate practical ways of defusing the tension as an urgent issue, the north side noted.
    The south side, while recognizing that these proposals serve as ways of settling issues, arbitrarily asserted that the "northern boundary" was defined as "non-aggression sea boundary" in the North-South Basic Agreement and its Annex on Non-Aggression which were adopted and effectuated in the 1990s. It went the lengths of insisting that the more than 50 years old boundary is the one that should be observed by the north and the south in the light of the requirements of either "principle on the recognition of the mandate once granted" or the "principle on the prescription."
    By the "principle on the recognition of the right once granted," which cannot be considered to be a principle, the south side meant having a mandate once granted recognized by other party due to "complex factors such as results of discussion, approval, connivance, etc., the north side noted, asking the south side with whom it reached an agreement on the "northern boundary" and with whose approval and at whose connivance it got such a mandate. The south side was not in a position to reply to this. In face of such strong censure from the north side, the south side brought forward what it called "measures for improving the situation" this time, throwing deliberate obstacles to the talks and, at the same time, resorting to delaying tactics by raising issues irrelevant to the agenda item.
    Strongly criticizing such behavior of the south side as a disturbing behavior to sidestep the issue of removing the root cause of clashes in the waters of the West Sea and a hypocritical move to take secondary steps for confidence building while shelving the fundamental issues, the head of the north side stated that "detente" and "building of peace mechanism" oft-repeated by the south side are nothing but empty words.
    The issue of fixing the Military Demarcation Line in the waters of the West Sea is, among other things, a touchstone showing whether the south side stands for detente and peace on the Korean Peninsula or not, he said, noting that a top priority task of defusing the military tension at present is an issue of removing the root cause of clashes in the sensitive waters of the West Sea, above all, and solution to the issue may have a good or bad impact on the process to improve the inter-Korean relations.
    In conclusion, he called on both sides to make sincere efforts to bring the discussion of the agenda item to the earliest possible successful conclusion, prompted by the wishes to make up for the precious half a century wasted due to antagonism and confrontation and achieve a good consensus, thus giving joy to all the fellow countrymen.
    He declared that if the south side comes out for the talks, truly ready to discuss the issue of fixing the MDL in the waters of the West Sea, then it will be possible to resume the inter-Korean general-level talks.

South Koreans Urged to Drive GNP to Debacle

    Pyongyang, May 19 (KCNA) -- The Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of the Fatherland published a lengthy manifesto "To all south Koreans" on May 18 with regard to the fierce confrontation between the progressive forces for peace and the conservative forces seeking a war with "elections to local autonomous bodies" in the offing in south Korea. The United States, considering it its urgent task to frame up a war servant regime in south Korea for the invasion of the north, is straining every nerve to cook it up at any cost by manipulating the forthcoming "elections to local autonomous bodies" and "presidential election" due next year, failing to draw a lesson from its dismal defeat in the last two presidential elections in south Korea, the manifesto says, and goes on:
    It is for this sinister purpose that the United States recently invited the GNP representative and a few other hopefuls to Washington one after another.
    The GNP is now running about like a headless chicken to beg for votes in an effort to gratify its ambition for a return to power with the backing of its U.S. master. Its scurvy election campaign reminds one of the disgraceful acts of the Yusin fascist fanatics who tried to entice south Korean voters with crude liquor and rubber shoes while crying for the "destruction of communism".
    The Korean nation can never remain a passive onlooker to the current situation in south Korea. The south Koreans should resolutely check and frustrate the fabrication of a pro-U.S. war servant regime which would bring a war and destruction to the nation.
    The GNP's act of pulling a foreign war chariot as a party serving a foreign country like the U.S. must be decisively frustrated and the war servants should not be given even a slim chance to return to power.
    All the fellow countrymen opposing war and valuing peace should properly distinguish between the peace ballot and the war ballot and make a correct use of it.
    Everyone, be a politician, a businessman, an intellectual, a young man and woman, a student, a religious man, a housewife and even one who has so far raised hand for the GNP, should make a correct judgment and choice so that he or she may not feel regretful at this responsible moment on the threshold of the elections. The most correct judgment and choice are to give vote to the most promising candidates from the June 15 peace force.
    The manifesto calls on all south Koreans desiring peace and reunification and opposing confrontation and war to vote for the candidates from the peace force with the same zeal with which they supported and welcomed the June 15 joint declaration.
    All the patriotic-minded people should convert the whole of south Korea into the sea of candlelight against the U.S. and an active volcano against war and bring a shameful defeat to the U.S. and the GNP in the upcoming elections as they did in the past presidential elections, it concludes.

Successes in Water Conservancy

    Pyongyang, May 19 (KCNA) -- Sixty years have passed since the ground-breaking ceremony of the River Pothong improvement project. President Kim Il Sung initiated the project after national liberation and turned the first sod for it with a spade on May 21, Juche 35 (1946).
    The project, which could not be done for one decade during the Japanese imperialists' colonial rule, was completed within only 55 days, 15 days ahead of schedule, by the patriotic zeal of people under the wise leadership of the President.
    The Pothong River had been flooded in rainy season every year, taking a heavy toll of lives before the liberation. But the river improvement project served as a first torch for nature-remaking projects and marked the start in water conservancy.
    Since then the Korean people have energetically conducted gigantic projects for controlling water.
    They carried on the water conservancy work in full earnest in response to the call for putting a million hectares of arable land under irrigation, which was put forward at the Plenary Meeting of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea held in September 1958.
    Large-scale Kiyang, Ojidon and other irrigation projects were carried out at a colossal sum of government expense.
    The first stage of the Kiyang irrigation project was successfully completed in April 1959, more than two years ahead of the set-time thanks to the revolutionary spirit of working hard displayed by the constructors.
    Tens of large-scale water conservancy works--irrigation projects in the western coastal areas including the River Aprok area and embankment projects in the eastern coastal areas--had been pushed ahead with success.
    Within six months following the September Plenary Meeting of the Central Committee of the WPK, more than 9,900 irrigation reservoirs, pumping stations and other irrigation setups made their appearance, bringing 377,000 hectares of farm land under irrigation, three times that in the pre-liberation days.
    The gigantic West Sea Barrage was built and myriads of hectares of tideland were reclaimed in the western coastal areas including Kangryong, Kumsong and Taegye Islet.
    In one or two years from the end of the 1980s an 800 km-long waterway project was finished to form a large-scale circular irrigation system in the western region with the River Taedong as an axis.
    In particular, the one decade from the middle of the 1990s had witnessed the construction of the 4,000-km-long gravity-fed waterways including the Kaechon-Lake Thaesong Waterway and Paekma-Cholsan Waterway, the first of its kind in the irrigation history of the country.
    The Kwangmyongsong Saltern, the Wonsan Bay Saltern and other saltworks were built in the eastern coastal areas.

Proposal for Restoring Tradition of "Seoul-Pyongyang Football Matches" Favored

    Pyongyang, May 19 (KCNA) -- Kang Kum Sil, Seoul mayoral candidate from the Uri Party of south Korea, formally proposed the issue of restoring the tradition of "Seoul-Pyongyang Football Matches" shortly ago. Sim Kyong Ok, vice-chairperson of the Pyongyang City People's Committee, answered the question put by KCNA on May 14 in this regard. Hailing the proposal as a good offer suited to the June 15 era of reunification, she noted:
    The "Seoul-Pyongyang Football Matches" began in 1929. It had been a long tradition for the Korean people to hold such matches demonstrating the spirit and dignity of the Korean nation in token of their resistance against the Japanese imperialists' colonial rule. Much upset by this, the Japanese imperialists suspended the football games in 1933 in a bid to tone down the anti-Japanese sentiment.
    The Korean people, however, did not abandon this national tradition despite the Japanese imperialists' suppression. In 1946, the year after the liberation of the country, they restored their national tradition and held a football match with splendor in Seoul in March.
    However, the U.S. troops occupied south Korea, dividing Korea into the north and the south and blocking free visits between them. This has prevented the "Seoul-Pyongyang Football Matches" from taking place for 60 years since 1946 and, accordingly, this tradition is recorded in history as a mere thing of the past.
    Restoring the tradition of Seoul-Pyongyang football matches despite the tragic division of the country and the nation would mark an event of great significance in the history of the nation, help further glorify the June 15 era of reunification and give strong impetus to the movement for the unity between fellow countrymen and the reunification of the country.
    The Pyongyang City People's Committee positively appreciates the proposal put forward by Kang Kum Sil reflecting the desire of the forces supporting the June 15 declaration and peace and will join the football association in the north in making positive efforts to put it into practice.

Terminada cuarta ronda de conversaciones a nivel de general N-S

    Pyongyang, 19 de mayo (ATCC) -- Quedo terminada el dia 18 la cuarta ronda de conversaciones militares a nivel de general entre el Norte y el Sur de Corea efectuada en la zona surena de Phanmunjom. 　Para la celebracion exitosa de la cuarta ronda la parte nortena presento los proyectos mas detallados relativos a la agenda luego de hacer analisis a grandes rasgos las divergencias de posicion de ambas partes manifestadas durante la tercera ronda y el periodo posterior.
    　La parte Norte senalo que todas las proposiciones concretas de la delegacion nortena, en particular la de prevenir radicalmente los conflictos militares y realizar la pesca conjunta en el mar Oeste de Corea devienen equitativas medidas practicas imperiosas para la distension, que convienen enteramente a la demanda de la epoca del 15 de junio.
    　Pero, la parte surena, aun reconociendo que las proposiciones de la parte nortena constituyen medios para la solucion de los problemas, interpreto a su albedrio que el acuerdo basico Norte-Sur y el acuerdo anexo de la no agresion aprobados y entrados en vigor en la decada de 1990 definen la "linea de limite Norte" como "linea de demarcacion maritima para no agresion" e insistio en que esta linea existente durante mas de 50 anos anteriores es la de demarcacion maritima que deben conservar el Norte y el Sur en vista de la demanda de la "ley vigente" y la "ley de prescripcion".
    　La parte nortena lo replico al decir que la "ley vigente" significa recibir el reconocimiento para la adquisicion de autoridad por los factores tales como la consultacion, aprobacion, tolerancia, etc. de la contraparte y le pregunto a la parte surena con quien logro el acuerdo, la aprobacion y tolerancia sobre la "linea de limite Norte" y de quien recibio tal autoridad. Entonces la parte surena no pudo encontrar palabras de respuesta.
    　Pese a la fuerte fustigacion de la parte nortena, la parte Sur salio con la "medida de renovacion" interponiendo obstaculo artificial en la marcha de las conversaciones y se aferro a la tactica de dilatacion con el problema ajeno de la agenda.
    　El jefe de la delegacion de la parte Norte fustigo duramente tal actitud de la parte Sur calificandola de malsano intento de evitar el problema de eliminar de raiz los choques en el mar Oeste y de acto enganoso para posponer la solucion del problema fundamental y tomar medidas de creacion de confianza secundaria y puso al desnudo que la "distension" y "creacion del sistema de paz" de que habla la parte nortena no pasan de ser una palabra vana.
    　Subrayo que el problema de la fijacion de la linea de demarcacion militar maritima del mar Oeste constituye una pauta para determinar la posicion de la parte surena sobre el problema del alivio de la tension y la paz en la Peninsula Coreana y anadio que en la actualidad la tarea apremiante para el relajamiento de la tension militar es eliminar primero la fuente del choque en el mar Oeste, lo que ejercera influencia a la mejora de relaciones entre el Norte y el Sur de Corea.
    　Asevero que ambas partes deben lograr un bueno acuerdo a traves de los sinceros esfuerzos por resolver, cuanto antes, los puntos de la agenda abordados con el sentimiento de rescatar el medio siglo perdido por la antipatia y confrontacion para dar alegria a todos los coreanos y anadio que se podran reanudar las conversaciones militares a nivel de general N-S, si la parte surena las aborde con los preparativos para el debate de fijacion de la linea de demarcacion militar maritima del mar Oeste.

CRPP llama a surcoreanos a votar en contra del "Partido Hannara"

    Pyongyang, 19 de mayo (ATCC) -- En visperas de las "elecciones de autonomia local", en el Sur de Corea se entabla una renida pelea entre las fuerzas progresistas pacifistas y las conservadoras belicistas. Al respecto, el Comite por la Reunificacion Pacifica de la Patria (CRPP) emitio el dia 18 una larga proclama intitulada "Llamamiento a los compatriotas hermanos surcoreanos".
    Pese a dos derrotas consecutivas en las anteriores "elecciones presidenciales" en el suelo surcoreano, EE.UU. trata de manipular las "elecciones" arriba mencionadas y las "presidenciales" del ano que viene para fraguar a toda costa el "gobierno" titere surcoreano que sirva de mercenario en la eventual guerra contra la Republica Popular Democratica de Corea.
    En ese contexto, invito sucesivamente a Washington a unos candidatos fuertes, inclusive el representante del "Partido Hannara", entidad que anda atareado en recabar "votos" para retomar el poder con el apoyo de su amo gringo.
    Esta campana "electoral" hace recordar de aquellos fascistas de la "dictadura de renovacion" que en el pasado seducian a los electores con chichas y zapatillas baratas pregonando su premisa: "exterminio del comunismo".
    La nacion coreana no debe quedarse con brazos cruzados ante la situacion dada hoy en el Sur de Corea.
    Todos los compatriotas hermanos surcoreanos deben impedir con la decision de vida o muerte la aparicion del "gobierno" proyanqui capaz de arruinar a la nacion coreana con la guerra.
    Para este fin, no deben dar ninguna posibilidad de la conquista del "poder" a esa banda de mercenarios de EE.UU., conocida como "Partido Extranjero".
    Todos los coterraneos surcoreanos, que se oponen a la guerra y aman la paz, deben votar con prudencia al diferenciar el voto pacifista del a favor de la guerra.
    En estos momentos tan importantes, cuando faltan pocos dias para las elecciones en cuestion, los politicos, economistas, intelectuales, jovenes, estudiantes, religiosos, amas de casa y hasta las personas, que hasta ahora apoyaban al "Partido Hannara", deben tomar una opcion que no de lugar a ningun arrepentimiento.
    Pues la opcion mas correcta radica en votar a favor del candidato mas fuerte de las fuerzas pacifistas partidarias del 15 de Junio (fecha de publicacion de la Declaracion Conjunta Norte-Sur) con aquel entusiasmo con que apoyaban este documento.
    Todos los coterraneos patrioticos han de infligir una vergonzosa derrota a EE.UU. y al "Partido Hannara" en las venideras "elecciones" locales al convertir todo el territorio surcoreano en el escenario de mega-marcha con velas encendidas en repudio a EE.UU. y a la guerra como lo hicieron en el anterior periodo del "sufragio presidencial".
