Japan Accused of Refusing to Permit Entry of DPRK Synchronized Swimming Team into Japan

    Pyongyang, September 14 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the Swimming Association of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea issued a statement on Sept. 13 assailing the Japanese reactionary authorities and the Ministry of Justice for refusing to permit the entry of the DPRK's synchronized swimming team into Japan to participate in the 11th FINA Synchronized Swimming World Cup 2006. The statement said:
    The world cup is slated to open in Yokohama of Kanagawa Prefecture in Japan on Sept. 14 under the sponsorship of the FINA.
    However, the above-said association received from the Japan organizing committee a note to the effect that some members of the team were not allowed to enter Japan just a few days before their expected departure for Japan. This compelled the association to cancel its plan to send the DPRK team to the event.
    As for those for whom the Ministry of Justice refused to issue visas, they are officers in charge of technique, administration and foreign relations already recognized not only by many world experts on synchronized swimming but the FINA for their participation in international competitions.
    Moreover, among them is a referee registered by the FINA.
    There is, therefore, no justifiable ground to refuse to permit their entry into Japan.
    Then, what is the true intention of the Japanese side behind its refusal to issue visas for them?
    The organizing committee, in the course of making arrangements for the event, was instructed by the ministry not to allow the DPRK national flag to be displayed under any circumstances while the competition was under way, in case the DPRK's team participates in the world cup.
    Acting upon this instruction, the committee absurdly proposed that national flags of the participating countries would not be hoisted inside the swimming pool and flags of their national associations would be used during their teams' entry into the venue of the opening ceremony.
    This was something unprecedented in view of international sporting practice.
    The association formally informed the FINA of the fact that the above-said committee was behaving quite contrary to international sporting practice while making arrangements for the event, prompted by a sinister political purpose. The committee was compelled to properly deal with abnormal issues at the request of the FINA and in face of protest made by officials of the Korean Amateur Athletic Federation in Japan.
    As the participation of the DPRK's team in the event became obvious and the demand for the display of the national flag of the DPRK during the whole period of the competition became undeniable, the Japanese authorities and the ministry made last-ditch efforts to prevent the team from participating in the event under the pretext of "turning down applications for visas."
    This case exposed before the whole world that the Japanese authorities are political dwarfs and dregs in international sports circles that resort to any despicable and clumsy method for achieving their dirty political aims and stoop to anything violating transparent sports spirit.
    The DPRK Swimming Association on behalf of all Korean sports fans vehemently denounces the Japanese authorities and the ministry for stretching their dirty political tentacles to the pure sports event in contravention of the sacred Olympic charter and idea in a bid to prevent the DPRK's team from participating in the international sports event slated to take place in Japan.

U.S. Imperialists' Reckless Arms Buildup under Fire

    Pyongyang, September 14 (KCNA) -- The United States recently deployed in Japan the latest 10,000-ton class Aegis cruiser Shiloh equipped with a ballistic missile defense system. It plans to begin deploying PAC-3 in its air force base in Kadena of Okinawa this month as the second-phase step and make it partly operational by the end of this year. Rodong Sinmun Thursday in a signed commentary carried in this regard observes:
    The U.S. imperialists' reckless arms buildup and their moves to undertake military provocations against the DPRK are very dangerous as they push the situation on the Korean Peninsula to the point of explosion.
    It is the strategic goal of the U.S. to invade the DPRK and lay a military siege to China and Russia and, moreover, establish domination over Asia.
    Now the U.S. imperialists consider it as a key and most important task for implementing their aggressive Asia-Pacific strategy to put the DPRK under their military control. To this end they seek to use Japan as a shock brigade for waging the second Korean war. In a word they are contemplating using Japan as their advance and logistic bases and a combined war commanding post to carry out their scenario for invading the DPRK. The U.S. bellicose forces' additional deployment of the Aegis in Japan is part of their moves to round off the preparations for a new Korean war.
    After designating the DPRK as part of an "axis of evil" and a target of their nuclear attack the war-like Bush forces are working hard to put their scenario for a war of aggression against the DPRK into practice under the signboard of "ensuring security" and "defending" their allies.
    The Japanese militarists overheated with their wild ambition to stage a comeback to Korea are zealously cooperating with the U.S. in its moves to ignite a new Korean war. In case a war breaks out on the Korean Peninsula, Japan is bound to automatically involve itself in the war.
    The U.S. is rushing headlong into a war, pursuant to its reckless hostile policy toward the DPRK. This is an unpardonable crime as it is aimed at starting a dangerous war to put the whole of Asia under its control.

It is known as a famous mountain of Korea and a world-famous mountain from old times as it presents a myriad of diverse, majestic and spectacular scenery.
    It is called a mountain of superb scenic beauty as everything there presents fantastic scenery. It is superb not only in the beauty of its peaks and ravines but in the scenery of the sea and its shore, lakes, kaleidoscopic changes seen around the peaks due to winds and clouds, thick forests rich in rare animals and plants and falls presenting ever-changing scenery.
    He climbed the Piro Peak, the main peak of the mountain, and commanded a bird's-eye view of the mountain presenting kaleidoscopic scenery.

    Our country has many scenic spots wherever its people go, the objects of foreigners' envy, as its mountains are beautiful and its water is clear, he said, adding that our people are highly proud of fully enjoying a worthy life in the beautiful socialist country with brilliant culture and long history.
    Noting that one can display patriotism only when one knows well about the history, culture and scenic beauty of the country, he underscored the need to intensify the education through scenic spots.
    He specified tasks to be undertaken to permanently preserve the superb scenery of Mt. Kumgang and ways to do so, underlining the need to spruce up the beauty spots in a peculiar manner and prevent the damage by natural phenomena.
    He was accompanied by Korean People's Army Generals Ri Myong Su, Hyon Chol Hae and Pak Jae Gyong.

Rodong Sinmun denuncia aumento armamentista de EE.UU.

    Pyongyang, 14 de septiembre (ATCC) -- Recientemente, Estados Unidos ubico en el suelo japones el crucero "Shilou" de tipo "Aegis" con desplazamiento de diez mil toneladas, dispuesto de capacidad de defensa antimisiles. En la segunda etapa planea comenzar a ubicar dentro de este mes misiles "PAC-3" en su base aerea de Kadena en Okinawa y ponerlos parcialmente en operacion hasta finales del ano en curso. 　Tales maniobras de aumento armamentista y de provocacion militar contra la RPDC llevan al limite de explotacion la situacion de la Peninsula Coreana.
    　Asi senala el diario Rodong Sinmun en un comentario individual del dia 14 y prosigue:
    　El objetivo estrategico de Estados Unidos es agredir a la RPDC, formar un anillo del cerco militar contra China y Rusia, y, a la larga, establecer la esfera de dominio sobre Asia.
    　En la actualidad EE.UU. presenta ocupar la RPDC en lo militar como un eslabon clave y una tarea de gran importancia para la realizacion de su estrategia de agresion a Asia y Pacifico. En este contexto, pretende utilizar a Japon como brigada de choque para la segunda guerra coreana, o sea, como base avanzada y logistica y puesto de mando general de guerra. La ubicacion del citado crucero es una parte de maniobras estadounidenses para completar los preparativos de una nueva guerra coreana.
    　Los belicistas de la administracion Bush definieron a la RPDC como "eje del mal" y objeto de ataque nuclear preventivo y tratan de llevar a la practica su plan de guerra de agresion a esta bajo el rotulo de la "seguridad" de su tierra y "proteccion" a sus aliados. Los militaristas japoneses, enloquecidos en la ambicion de nueva agresion, se adhieren activamente a las maniobras belicas de EE.UU. tendentes a provocar nueva guerra coreana. Si estalla la guerra en la Peninsula Coreana, Japon se incorporara automaticamente en ella.
    　EE.UU. se precipita por el camino de guerra practicando la siniestra politica hostil a la RPDC, lo cual es un peligroso acto de provocacion de guerra contra toda Asia.

Portavoz de ANC condena a los reaccionarios japoneses

    Pyongyang, 14 de septiembre (ATCC) -- En relacion con que las autoridades reaccionarias y el Ministerio de Justicia de Japon no autorizaron la entrada en su pais del equipo coreano a la Competencia de Natacion Sincronica Copa Mundial-2006, el portavoz de la Asociacion de Natacion de la Republica Popular Democratica de Corea hizo publica el dia 13 una declaracion que senala: A partir del 14 de septiembre tendra lugar en Yokohama del departamento de Kanagawa de Japon la Competencia de Natacion Sincronica Copa Mundial-2006 bajo el auspicio de la FINA.
    Pero, unos dias antes de nuestra partida, el comite organizador de Japon nos informo de la no permision de la entrada de unos miembros del equipo coreano, razon por la cual nos vimos obligados a revocar con decision la participacion en el evento.
    Las personas a quienes el Ministro de Justicia de Japon no permitio la visa son funcionarios encargados de la tecnica, administracion y asuntos exteriores ya reconocidos no solo por muchos especialistas de la rama en el mundo sino tambien por la FINA a traves de varias competencias internacionales.
    En particular, entre ellos figura un arbitro registrado en la FINA.
    La parte japonesa no tiene ningun pretexto de no permitir la entrada de ellos en su pais.
    Entonces, ?que es la verdadera intencion de este pais isleno?
    Al preparar el presente certamen el comite organizador de Japon recibio una "orden" del Ministerio de Justicia de su pais de no permitir jamas la aparicion de la bandera de la RPDC durante el tiempo del torneo. Asi, presento una absurda "propuesta" de no izar en el estadio las banderas de los paises participantes, sino la "bandera de asociacion" de cada uno al entrar en la ceremonia de apertura.
    　Este proyecto no es visto en las costumbres de competencias deportivas internacionales.
    Ya anunciamos oficialmente a la FINA que el comite organizador de Japon persigue un malsano objetivo politico y va en contra de las costumbres de juegos deportivos internacionales en los preparativos del foro y por consiguiente, la parte japonesa, por no poder resistir la demanda de la FINA y la protesta de los funcionarios de la Asociacion General de Deportistas Coreanos Residentes en Japon, se vio obligado a tratar justamente los problemas anormales.
    Al ver que se ha evidenciado la participacion del equipo coreano de natacion sincronica y que se ha hecho indudable la izada de la bandera nacional de la RPDC durante todo el periodo de la competencia, las autoridades y el Ministerio de Justicia del pais isleno impidieron la entrada de los jugadores coreanos so pretexto de la "no permision de visa".
    A traves de este caso, las autoridades japonesas revelaron por si mismas que son enanas politiqueras y desperdicias del circulo deportivo internacional, que se recurren a toda indole de viles metodos y manchan el noble espiritu deportivo para realizar su malsano objetivo politico.
    La Asociacion de Natacion de la RPDC denuncia fuertemente, en nombre de todos los aficionados coreanos al deporte, a las autoridades japonesas y al ministro de justicia de Japon que echaron sus garras politicas a los juegos deportivos, contraponiendose a la Carta y el ideal de la sagrada Olimpiada, e impidieron la participacion de los jugadores coreanos en los juegos deportivos internacionales que se realizan en Japon.
