All Koreans Called upon to Go United for Peace and Security

    Pyongyang, October 25 (KCNA) -- It is impossible to smoothly settle the issue of Korea's reunification unless a peaceful atmosphere prevails on the Korean Peninsula. In case peace is harassed, all the fellow countrymen in the north and the south would suffer a horrible disaster of war. Rodong Sinmun Wednesday says this in a signed article. It goes on:
    In order for the north and the south to successfully cope with the prevailing situation they should hold high the banner of national independence, the main spirit of the historic June 15 joint declaration through which they declared at home and abroad that they would work together for peaceful reunification.
    The principle of independence serves as a fundamental one common to the north and south in frustrating outsiders' moves for aggression, defending peace and heading for reconciliation, unity and peaceful reunification. But a number of things that diametrically run counter to the principle of national independence are taking place in south Korea.
    Flunkeyism and dependence on foreign forces bring no good but only harm to peace and security in the present era where the north and the south should go in for unity and reunification in the spirit of "By our nation itself" reflected in the June 15 joint declaration.
    The United States is a dangerous force which persistently seeks to invade the north, far from working for peace and security on the Korean Peninsula.
    The Bush regime is more bellicose than any other successive regimes as far as its policy of aggression against the DPRK is concerned.
    The past history and the present reality clearly show who wants a war on the Korean Peninsula and who stands for peace on it. It is foolish of one to calculate that one can enjoy security by depending on such bellicose and war state as the U.S.
    The U.S. is a ferocious imperialist aggression force as it stoops to any infamy to infringe upon the security and interests of other countries and nations if it deems that necessary for the materialization of its strategy for domination. The U.S. is utterly indifferent to the security in south Korea.
    It is the outdated way of thinking dating back to the era of confrontation to contend that the north may attack the south if cooperation and "alliance" with the U.S. collapse. This is not true because the continued preservation of the "alliance" with the U.S. would only increase the danger of war in south Korea.
    All Koreans should go united in the struggle to protect peace from foreign aggression. Hence, the key to ensuring peace and security lies in national independence. Only when the north and the south pool efforts in the idea of "By our nation itself," can they frustrate any outsiders' moves to ignite a war and pave a wide avenue for peace, reunification and national prosperity.

U.S. under Fire for Paralyzing World Nuclear Disarmament System

    Pyongyang, October 25 (KCNA) -- With nothing can the U.S. evade its responsibility for bringing a nuclear threat and proliferation to the international community and eventually destroying the world nuclear disarmament system, says Rodong Sinmun in a commentary Wednesday, adding: The most urgent task of the U.S. is to sincerely implement its commitment to nuclear disarmament and it is nothing but an empty talk to argue about nuclear non-proliferation apart from it. The analyst goes on:
    Nuclear disarmament should be realized and all nukes be destroyed on the earth to begin with, if global peace and security are to be guaranteed.
    The U.S. asserts non-proliferation, setting the existence of nuclear weapons as a separate issue from their proliferation. This means that it does not want nuclear disarmament.
    It is nonsensical to talk about the non-proliferation of nukes apart from nuclear disarmament. This is a petty trick to smother up its commitment to nuclear disarmament behind the curtain of nuclear non-proliferation.
    The U.S. is noisily beating the drum of nuclear non-proliferation. But it is the very one fostering nuclear proliferation.
    Disarmament conventions including the NPT remain only in name, having lost their binding force, and the world has been pushed into the vortex of nuclear arms race by the nuclear strong-arm policy of the U.S. based on double standards.
    The U.S. put pressure and sanctions against those countries falling out of its favor and go so far as wielding military stick, taking issue even with their nuclear activities for peaceful purposes by faking up false information, while shelving its own commitment to nuclear disarmament. This robber-like act can never be justified.
    The nuclear problem on the Korean Peninsula is a product of the U.S. policy of nuclear threat to it. Its grave policy of nuclear threat is the main factor that pushed the DPRK to access to nukes. The DPRK was compelled to build nuclear deterrent as a just measure for self-defence to avert a war and defend its ideology, system, freedom and democracy in face of the increasing nuclear threat of the U.S. imperialists and their attempt at a preemptive nuclear attack. This entirely tallies with the principle of defending the sovereignty of a state and the requirements of international law for averting a war and ensuring peace. It is an act of disregarding and trampling underfoot international justice and impartiality to take issue with the DPRK's exercise of its right to self-defense.

Chinese Embassy Officials Help Korean Farmers

    Pyongyang, October 25 (KCNA) -- Chinese Ambassador to the DPRK Liu Xiaoming and embassy officials on Tuesday helped members of the DPRK-China Friendship Thaekam Cooperative Farm in farm work.

Anniversary of CPV's Entry into Korean Front Observed

    Pyongyang, October 25 (KCNA) -- Today marks the 56th anniversary of the entry of the Chinese People's Volunteers into the Korean front. Papers today in signed articles carried on this occasion say that the CPV's entry into the Korean front reflected the friendship cherished by the peoples of Korea and China and its self-sacrificing struggle contributed to the victory in the great Fatherland Liberation War of the Korean people.
    Rodong Sinmun says:
    The friendship between the peoples of Korea and China has a long history and tradition.
    The bonds of friendship between the peoples of the two countries have steadily grown strong. They cooperated and supported each other in the periods of the anti-Japanese revolutionary war of the Korean people, the Chinese people's revolutionary war in China, their anti-Japanese war and in the subsequent period. The DPRK-China friendship has developed in line with the desire and interests of the two peoples despite twists and turns and tempest. This friendship constitutes an asset common to the two peoples. The development of the DPRK-China friendship is beneficial for promoting socialist construction in the two countries and ensuring peace and security in Asia and the rest of the world.
    The Korean people wish the Chinese people successes in their efforts to build socialism with Chinese characteristics.
    On this occasion they are paying tribute to the fallen fighters of the CPV who dedicated their precious blood and lives on the Korean front. The feats performed by the martyrs will always be remembered.
    Minju Joson says that it is the consistent stand of the Workers' Party of Korea and the DPRK government to invariably boost the DPRK-China friendship.

Successful Nuclear Test Hailed in Different Provinces

    Pyongyang, October 25 (KCNA) -- Servicepersons and people of South Phyongan, Jagang and Kangwon Provinces held rallies in their provincial capitals in welcome of the success in a historic nuclear test. Present at the rallies were leading officials of local party and power organs and working people's organizations, men and officers of the Korean People's Army, working people of different strata, youth and students.
    The speakers said that the launching of a nuclear test was a just resolution to protect the sovereignty of the country, the security of the nation and peace and stability in and around the Korean Peninsula. They warmly congratulated scientists, technicians and workers on demonstrating the might of Songun Korea with the successful nuclear test.
    The nuclear test was entirely an exercise of the sacred right of a sovereign state as it was an active countermeasure to foil the U.S. imperialists' nuclear threat and stifling moves to pull down the people-centred socialism of Korean-style, they stated.
    They castigated the U.S. imperialists for finding fault with the DPRK's nuclear test, an exercise of legitimate self-defensive right of a sovereign state, saying it shows their true feature as the wicked harasser of global peace and stability and the sworn enemy of the Korean people.
    They went on to say:
    The Korean army and people want peace but are not afraid of war. They will never allow the U.S. and its followers to encroach upon the sovereignty of the country and the right to existence of the nation.
    Any pressure and threat do not work on the Korean people. The U.S. imperialists and their followers should stop acting rashly, obsessed by a foolish daydream of stifling the DPRK.
    The Songun revolution of the DPRK is sure to triumph as its army and people have firmly stood in the same trench upholding the Workers' Party of Korea and have built nuclear deterrent for self-defense, the speakers said, calling for speeding up the revolutionary cause of Juche with the might of army-people unity.

Anti-North Actions of Japan under Fire in S. Korea

    Pyongyang, October 25 (KCNA) -- The South Headquarters of the National Alliance for the Country's Reunification reportedly issued a statement on Oct. 19 denouncing Japan for straining the situation on the Korean Peninsula. The statement accused Japan of applying sanctions against the north and contemplating a joint military exercise with the U.S. in the East Sea of Korea with a hue and cry over the "situation in the areas around Japan," thus pushing the situation on the Korean Peninsula to an extreme pitch of tension.
    These moves of Japan are aimed at causing a crisis of war on the peninsula in a bid to realize its ambition for emerging a military power, the statement noted, and went on:
    An urgent job to be done by Japan at the moment as a war criminal state is to honestly apologize to the Korean nation for its past crimes and adequately compensate for them. The Korean nation will never pardon Japan which is taking issue with the north, talking about the "situation in the areas around it."

    Vehemently denouncing the United States for tightening the sanctions against the north and straining the situation on the Korean Peninsula, they appealed to all people to unite and make a new history.

Natural Vegetable Insect-killing and Sterilizing Material Developed

    Pyongyang, October 25 (KCNA) -- The Research Center of the Korean Kimilsungia-Kimjongilia Committee has developed "Myonghwa", natural vegetable insect-killing and sterilizing material, which is of practical use in cultivating Kimilsungia and Kimjongilia. Myonghwa is a non-pollutional green agricultural medicine. It is made by the method of extracting physiological activators from plants in a latest technological way and combining it with vegetable interphase activator and subsidiary additives.
    It, with no remaining virulence, has a sustaining effect in killing insects and bacterium. Unlike agricultural chemicals, the medicine keeps insects and bacterium out of having resistance power against it and increases the resistance of plants against environmental stress and promotes their growth.
    The experimental application of the medicine shows that it is highly efficient in exterminating insects and bacterium including powdery mildew and carmine mite and preventing diseases caused by them.
    It can be used by the method of diluting it with water in the proportion of 500-1000 to one and spraying. It is very convenient in preservation and handling.

It, 128 meters high and 12.5 meters wide, has been known as one of the eight scenic spots in the city from olden times. Now it produces a spectacular landscape, welded with the autumn tints of the surrounding areas.
    The two-stage falls has its headspring in the Jol Valley of Mt. Jangdae on the mountain range stretching southeastward from Mt. Suyang.
    The water which falls from the cliff, raising beads of water and spray, is reverberating in the valley.
    Spectacular are the landscapes of the autumn tints, spring flowers, summer verdure and winter snow around the falls.

    Luis Mateo Munoz, general secretary of the Socialist Party of Peru, noted that under the Songun leadership of General Secretary Kim Jong Il the WPK has wisely led the struggle of the Korean people to shatter the moves of the U.S.-led imperialist forces and powerfully demonstrate the dignity and might of the country.

For Spanish-speaking people

EE.UU. es destructor del sistema mundial de desarme nuclear

    Pyongyang, 25 de octubre (ATCC) -- Estados Unidos no puede eludir la responsabilidad criminal de haber destruido el sistema mundial del desarme nuclear con la amenaza y proliferacion nucleares en la sociedad internacional. Por eso la primera tarea de este imperio es ejecutar con sinceridad su deber en materia del desarme nuclear y al margen de esto es una pura palabreria la no proliferacion nuclear. 　Asi senala el diario Rodong Sinmun en un comentario individual del dia 25 y prosigue:
    　Para asegurar la paz y la seguridad del mundo es preciso realizar, ante todo, el desarme nuclear para lograr la liquidacion completa de las armas nucleares en el orbe. 　Estados Unidos considera aparte una de la otra la existencia y la proliferacion de armas nucleares y exige unilateralmente la no proliferacion. De hecho no quiere el desarme nuclear.
    　La no proliferacion nuclear al margen del desarme nuclear es ilogica.
    　EE.UU. teje artimana para evitar el cumplimiento de compromiso del desarme nuclear con el biombo de la no proliferacion nuclear.
    　El imperio promueve de hecho la proliferacion.
    　Debido a la politica de despotismo nuclear de Estados Unidos basada en la pauta de doble rasero hoy dia el Tratado de No Proliferacion (TNP) y otros convenios del desarme nuclear se han convertido en letras muertas carentes de fuerza de restriccion y el mundo se ha metido en el torbellino de la carrera armamentista nuclear.
    Estados Unidos incumple su deber de desarme nuclear, ejerce presiones y sanciones y hasta pone en accion sus fuerzas armadas contra otros paises que no le son de agrado cuestionando las actividades nucleares con fines pacificos de estos a base de los datos de informacion fraguados. Tal actitud bandidesca no se puede justificar de ninguna manera.
    　El problema nuclear de la Peninsula Coreana es un producto de la politica de amenaza nuclear de EE.UU. contra la RPDC y esta politica es el factor principal que la empujo a disponer de la fuerza disuasiva nuclear.
    　La RPDC se vio obligada a disponer de la fuerza disuasiva nuclear como medida legitima de autodefensa para prevenir la guerra y defender su idea, regimen, libertad y democracia frente a la creciente amenaza nuclear e intencion de ataque preventivo nuclear de EE.UU., lo que conviene enteramente al principio de defensa de soberania estatal y a la demanda del derecho internacional para la prevencion de guerra y la preservacion de la paz.
    　Cuestionar el ejercicio del derecho a la autodefensa de la RPDC es un acto que desprecia y pisotea la justicia internacional y la equidad.

Unidad nacional es camino de la paz y la seguridad

    Pyongyang, 25 de octubre (ATCC) -- Cuando no reina el ambiente pacifico en la Peninsula Coreana, sera imposible la solucion favorable del problema de la reunificacion del pais y en el caso de perturbarse la paz los coreanos del Norte y el Sur no podran evitar desastres de la guerra. Asi senala el periodico Rodong Sinmun en un articulo individual del dia 25 y continua:
    De acuerdo con la situacion creada ambas partes de Corea deben mantener en alto la bandera de la independencia nacional, espiritu fundamental de la historica Declaracion Conjunta del 15 de Junio en que se comprometen a lograr la reunificacion pacifica.
    La independencia es precisamente el principio fundamental comun de la nacion para destruir las maniobras agresivas de las fuerzas extranjeras, preservar la paz y lograr la reconciliacion, la unidad y la reintegracion pacifica.
    Pero, en el Sur de Corea suceden los actos contrarios al principio de la independencia nacional.
    En la epoca actual en que el Norte y el Sur deben lograr la concordia y la reunificacion segun el espiritu de "entre nosotros, los connacionales" dilucidado en la citada Declaracion Conjunta, el servilismo a grandes potencias y la dependencia de las fuerzas foraneas son inutiles para la paz y la seguridad.
    EE.UU. es la peligrosa fuerza belicista que no desea la paz ni la seguridad en la Peninsula Coreana, sino acecha la oportunidad de agredir a la Republica Popular Democratica de Corea.
    La politica hostil a Corea de la administracion Bush es la mas belicosa que las administraciones anteriores.
    La historia pasada y la realidad de hoy indican claramente quien persigue la guerra y quien desea la paz en la Peninsula Coreana.
    Es del todo absurda la intencion de preservar la seguridad dependiendo de EE.UU., pais belicista.
    Este es la fuerza agresiva imperialista mas barbara que para realizar su estrategia dominacionista no vacila en perturbar la seguridad y atentar los intereses de otros paises y naciones.
    No le importa la seguridad del Sur de Corea.
    Es el modo de pensar de la vieja epoca de confrontacion creer que el Norte puede invadir al Sur cuando este rompe sus relaciones de cooperacion y la "alianza" con EE.UU. Al contrario, se agranda el peligro de guerra por el mantenimiento de las relaciones de "alianza" entre el Sur de Corea y EE.UU.
    La llave de la paz y la seguridad reside en la independencia nacional de rechazar las fuerzas foraneas agresivas y mancomunar las fuerzas de la nacion en aras de la paz.
    Solo cuando el Norte y el Sur unen sus fuerzas segun el ideal de "entre nosotros, los connacionales" no se valdran todas las maniobras de provocacion de guerra de las fuerzas extranjeras sino se abrira de par en par el camino de la paz, la reunificacion y la prosperidad nacional.

Militares y civiles de varias provincias aplauden prueba nuclear

    Pyongyang, 25 de octubre (ATCC) -- Los militares y civiles de las provincias de Phyong-an del Sur, de Jagang y de Kangwon efectuaron en las cabezas provinciales mitines de felicitacion al exito de la historica prueba nuclear. Participaron los funcionarios directivos de los organos del partido y el Poder y entidades de trabajadores, oficiales y soldados del Ejercito Popular de Corea, trabajadores de distintos estratos, jovenes y estudiantes en las localidades.
    Los oradores senalaron que la presente prueba nuclear fue una justa decision para defender la soberania del pais y la seguridad de la nacion y preservar la paz y estabilidad de la Peninsula Coreana y su contorno y felicitaron calurosamente a los cientificos, tecnicos y trabajadores quienes llevaron al exito la prueba nuclear y exaltaron el poderio de Corea del Songun (priorizacion militar).
    Destacaron que nuestra prueba nuclear fue una activa contramedida para frustrar la amenaza nuclear y estrangulacion de los imperialistas yanquis que se desesperan para derrumbar el socialismo coreano centrado en las masas populares y es un ejercicio de sagrado derecho de un Estado soberano.
    Los yanquis cuestionan la prueba nuclear, ejercicio de derecho autodefensivo de un Estado soberano, lo cual es un acto que demuestra fehacientemente la verdadera faz de los malignos perturbadores de la paz y estabilidad del mundo y de los enemigos jurados del pueblo coreano, denunciaron.
    El ejercito y el pueblo de Corea, que desean la paz, pero no temen la guerra, no perdonaran ni un apice a EE.UU. y las fuerzas satelites, si intentan atentar la soberania del pais y el derecho de existencia de la nacion, advirtieron.
    Los imperialistas yanquis y las fuerzas entreguistas, -declararon-, deben abandonar estupida ilusion de aplastar a la RPDC y actuar con prudencia.
    Mientras el ejercito y el pueblo se encuentran firmemente en la misma trinchera apoyando el partido y cuentan con la fuerza de detencion nuclear disuasoria, la revolucion del Songun es invencible, dijeron los oradores y senalaron la necesidad de anticipar la culminacion de la causa revolucionaria del Juche con el poderio de la unidad monolitica entre el ejercito y el pueblo.
