Full Implementation of February 13 Agreement Depends on U.S. and Japan
Pyongyang, July 15 (KCNA) -- Given the fact that the DPRK has fulfilled all its commitments, the full implementation of the February 13 agreement depends on how the other five participating countries of the six-party talks honor their commitments on the principle of "action for action" and on what practical measures the U.S. and Japan, in particular, will take to roll back their hostile policies toward the DPRK.
A spokesman for the DPRK Foreign Ministry declared this in an answer given to the question put by KCNA Sunday as regards the DPRK's suspension of the operation of its nuclear facilities in Nyongbyon.
He said:
The DPRK suspended the operation of the above-said nuclear facilities on July 14, the day the first shipment of 50,000 tons of heavy oil arrived and allowed members of the International Atomic Energy Agency to monitor the facilities according to the agreement.
Taking into consideration the fact that the DPRK was supposed to suspend the operation of its nuclear facilities from the time 50,000 tons of heavy oil has been provided according to the February 13 agreement, this means the DPRK's earlier fulfillment of its promise than scheduled and a manifestation of its good faith towards the agreement.
The provision of substitute energy including heavy oil is by no means "aid" in the form of charity but compensation for the DPRK's suspension of its nuclear facilities and the activities of the IAEA in Nyongbyon are not "inspection" but limited to verification and monitoring.
Letters to UN Secretary General and President of UN General Assembly
Pyongyang, July 15 (KCNA) -- The DPRK permanent representative at the United Nations sent letters to the UN secretary general and the president of the UN General Assembly on July 6 as regards the Japanese authorities' evermore pronounced suppression of the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan (Chongryon).
He in the letters cited facts to disclose the Japanese security authorities' suppression of the Koreans in Japan.
He said:
This is aimed to physically destroy the centre of the activities of Chongryon, champion of the democratic national rights of the Koreans in Japan, and stamp out the activities of Chongryon and the Koreans in Japan. It is a wicked act of infringing upon the sovereignty of the DPRK, which no preceding regimes of Japan dared to do so.
Not a single day has passed in Japan without witnessing human rights abuses including the politically-motivated crackdown upon Chongryon and national discrimination, maltreatment and assaults against the Koreans in Japan for the past decades. For these crimes Japan has become an object of concern among the UN human rights organizations.
Branding the Japanese authorities' discrimination against the Koreans in Japan and their moves to obliterate other nations as heinous racial discrimination and the worst human rights abuses perpetrated in wanton violation of major international human rights laws including the UN Charter and the World Declaration on Human Rights, he continued:
Japan is whitewashing the crimes committed by it in the past, far from admitting its invasion of Korea and other Asian countries and massacre of tens of millions of innocent civilians, and is now covetous of the permanent membership of the UN Security Council. The DPRK, therefore, cannot remain an onlooker to these inhuman acts of Japan.
I have the pleasure to request you to include the item "Contemporary form of ethnic cleansing" in the agenda of the 61st session of the UN General Assembly and distribute this letter as an official document of the UN General Assembly and the UNSC for the purpose of sounding a note of warning against the national chauvinism including Japan's suppression of the Koreans in Japan.
U.S. Urged to Prove Its Intention not to Mount Nuclear Attack on DPRK
Pyongyang, July 14 (KCNA) -- The U.S. should prove its confirmation made in the September 19 joint statement adopted at the six-party talks that it has no nuclear weapons in south Korea and that it has no intention to attack or invade the DPRK with nukes or conventional weapons in a verifiable manner to be quite understandable to others.
A spokesman for the Korean National Peace Committee said this in a statement released Saturday 50 years since the U.S. imperialist aggressor forces in south Korea declared their intention to introduce nuclear weapons into south Korea.
The U.S. moves to introduce nuclear weapons into south Korea started with its July 15, 1957 declaration that it would start introducing nuclear weapons into south Korea. Such moves continued even after the conclusion of an international convention banning the introduction of nuclear weapons to non-nuclear states and zones, the statement said, and went on:
The U.S. announced in July, 1992 that it had withdrawn all tactical nuclear weapons from south Korea. But it has professed the "NCND policy" which proves that it cannot but admit the fact that nuclear weapons exist in south Korea.
It is like a guilty party filing the suit first that the U.S. is raising a hue and cry over other's "nuclear issue" and "nuclear threat" while shelving its criminal introduction of nuclear weapons into south Korea.
The settlement of the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula entirely depends on the U.S. switchover in its policy toward the DPRK.
The U.S. should stop such a foolish act as threatening the Korean nation with nukes and quit south Korea taking with it its nuclear war hardware without delay.
Kim Il Sung Praised
Pyongyang, July 15 (KCNA) -- President Kim Il Sung is always alive in the hearts of humankind as he fathered the immortal Juche idea and performed revolutionary exploits.
Fayez Ismail, general secretary of the Socialist Unionist Party of Syria, said this in a statement issued on July 8 on the occasion of the 13th anniversary of demise of Kim Il Sung.
The statement noted that Kim Il Sung built the man-centred socialist country admired by the world people while covering the untrodden path of revolution and united all people to achieve the unbreakable single-minded unity. His life is a model to be followed by humankind, the statement said, adding:
His cause has been successfully carried forward by Kim Jong Il.
The DPRK is dynamically advancing while leading the anti-imperialist struggle. This serves as a mental pillar for the world peace-loving people.
Kim Il Sung Remembered
Pyongyang, July 15 (KCNA) -- Meetings to remember President Kim Il Sung were held by the Romanian Workers' Association, University of Damascus of Syria and the Pan-African Movement from July 6 to 9 on the occasion of the 13th anniversary of his demise.
On display in the venues of the meetings were photos showing the revolutionary exploits of the President.
Speeches were made there.
Daniel Dediu, chairman of the Romanian Workers' Association, referred in detail to the immortal exploits performed by the President in wisely leading the struggle for national reunification till the last moments of his great life with noble patriotic idea.
Dr. Samir Ismail, dean of the Political Faculty of University of Damascus, praised the life of the President as the one of an outstanding thinker and theoretician who founded the idea guiding the era of independence to illumine the way to be followed by the Korean people and the rest of progressive humankind, an outstanding strategist who defeated the two formidable imperialist enemies in one generation to bring about the period of fresh surge in the anti-imperialist struggle and a great statesman who built the DPRK, where centuries-old backwardness and poverty prevailed once, as a strong socialist country, independent in politics, self-supporting in economy and self-reliant in national defence.
The deputy director of the Political Department of the Pan-African Movement said that material and moral help given by the President gave great encouragement and strength to the peoples of African countries in their struggle to create a new life, noting that the President performed immortal exploits to be recorded not only in the history of the Korean revolution but in the history of the struggle of African countries for national liberation from the yoke of colonial rule.
Meanwhile, the Peruvian-Korean Institute of Culture and Friendship and the New Left Movement of Peru co-sponsored a national meeting, a photo exhibition and a film show in Lima on July 6 on the occasion of the 13th anniversary of demise of the President.
Intensified Solidarity Movement for Withdrawal of U.S. Troops Called for
Pyongyang, July 15 (KCNA) -- The International Liaison Committee for Reunification and Peace in Korea (CILRECO) in an article posted on its Internet homepage on July 9 on the occasion of the month of international solidarity with the Korean people once again called upon the progressive forces of the world to intensify the solidarity movement demanding the withdrawal of the U.S. forces from south Korea.
The CILRECO called on the progressive forces of the world to strongly demand the withdrawal of the U.S. forces from south Korea, a main stumbling block lying in the way of independent reunification of Korea, under the banner of the June 15 North-South Joint Declaration this year, the article said, and continued:
The U.S. has become all the more frantic in its moves to justify its military occupation of south Korea that has lasted for more than 60 years.
Through the occupation of south Korea, the U.S. has deliberately abused the right of the Korean people to decide their destinies by themselves, the UN Charter and its resolutions.
As long as the occupation of south Korea by the U.S. troops, the root cause of military confrontation and conflicts on the Korean Peninsula, continues, the region will continue to remain a dangerous hotbed of war threatening the global peace and security and the independent and peaceful reunification of Korea would be unthinkable.
U.S. Ideological and Cultural Poisoning under Fire
Pyongyang, July 15 (KCNA) -- The world progressive countries advocating independence should conduct dynamic actions to smash the U.S. broadcasting service for capitalist ideological and cultural poisoning.
Rodong Sinmun today says this in a signed article.
It goes on:
The U.S. capitalist ideological and cultural poisoning through broadcasting media has become all the more pronounced in the new century.
The aggressive nature of the above-said moves of the U.S. imperialists can be found in the fact that they have chosen the anti-U.S. independent countries as main targets and concentrated the broadcasting on them.
The DPRK is the main thrust here. As their hard-line Korea policy proved futile, the U.S. reactionary ruling quarters have become so crafty as to try to materialize their strategy for destabilizing the DPRK through broadcasting.
They have drastically increased the hours of anti-DPRK broadcasting and left no means untried to infiltrate the corrupt capitalist idea and culture into the DPRK through it.
The U.S. enacted the reactionary "North Korean Human Rights Act" and decided to sharply increase the hours of broadcasting in Korean language as a "measure to promote democracy in north Korea." This eloquently proves how persistent the U.S. administration has become in its moves to intensify the smear broadcasting campaign against the DPRK.
The U.S. is smuggling transistor radios and micro TVs into the DPRK through various channels in a bid to cause the people of the DPRK to make ideological vacillation and change.
This is an undisguised move to stifle the DPRK in the ideological, mental and cultural fields as it is aimed at destabilizing and degenerating man-centered Korean-style socialism. The U.S. is, however, seriously mistaken. The people of the DPRK do not lend an ear to the enemies' smear broadcasting but are reacting to their reactionary ideological and cultural offensive with the revolutionary ideological offensive.
Anniversary of Kim Jong Il's Work Marked
Pyongyang, July 15 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun Sunday dedicates an article to the 21st anniversary of Kim Jong Il's historic work "On Some Problems of Education in the Juche Idea".
The article says:
The work perfectly proved the scientific accuracy, revolutionary character, originality and contemporary universality of the Juche idea, the guiding idea of the Workers' Party of Korea, and clarified the main principle governing the ideological work of the party which calls for conducting all forms of ideological education on the basic principle of the Juche idea.
The Juche idea is the steadfast guiding idea of the party and revolution in the DPRK and to intensify the education in the Juche idea serves as a lifeline for carrying out the WPK's cause of the Songun revolution.
The Songun idea of the party is based on the Juche idea and the cause of the Songun revolution is a historic cause of achieving overall victory of the Juche idea.
The single-minded unity of the party, army and people around the headquarters of the revolution has grown stronger than ever before in the course of developing in depth the education in the Juche idea under the energetic leadership of Kim Jong Il.
Today the headquarters of the revolution, the army and people in the DPRK share the same idea, desire, destiny and future.
It is the most precious achievement gained in the ideological work of the WPK that the army and people have grown strong in idea and faith as they have unshakable confidence in socialism under the energetic leadership of Kim Jong Il.
Today socialism serves as the life and soul for the army and people in the DPRK. The only way for them to follow in the future, too, is the road of man-centered socialism indicated by the great Juche idea.
The WPK has steadily deepened the education in the Juche idea under the energetic leadership of Kim Jong Il. It is in this course that miracles and exploits have been performed without interruption in building a great prosperous powerful socialist nation.
A dawn of a great prosperous powerful nation is breaking and fresh leaps are being effected in the DPRK. Its army and people are highly proud of being victors in the Songun revolution and replete with great confidence and optimism about the future of a rich and powerful country.

Pyongyang, July 14 (KCNA) -- Remembrance meetings, seminars, lectures and film shows were held in Russia, Bulgaria, Egypt, Mongolia and Democratic Congo and an opening ceremony of the exhibition of Korean books and handicrafts in Italy from July 5 to 8 on the occasion of the 13th anniversary of demise of President Kim Il Sung.

The participants in the film shows watched Korean films including "The Great Leader Comrade Kim Il Sung Will Always Live in the Hearts of Humankind," part 3 of "The Great Leader Comrade Kim Il Sung Is Immortal," "The Great Leader Comrade Kim Il Sung Meets Heads of State and Prominent Figures of Foreign Countries" and "The Great Life in 1994."
Kim Il Sung Lauded
Pyongyang, July 14 (KCNA) -- Syrian and Indian figures released statements on the occasion of the 13th anniversary of demise of President Kim Il Sung.
Saber Ballul, vice dean of the Political Faculty of the University of Damascus, in a statement on July 8 highly praised the President as a national hero, outstanding thinker and theoretician, a man possessed of strong will and military genius.
Recalling that the President gave both material and moral help to the Syrian people in their national liberation struggle, the statement said that the exploits of the President, the greatest man, are always remembered by the Syrian people.
The secretary of the Eastern Delhi Committee of the Indian Gandhi National Congress Party in a statement on July 6 said that the cause of Juche pioneered by the President has been confidently carried forward by Kim Jong Il, noting that the foreign friends are joining the Korean people in looking back on his great life and exploits with deep emotion.
Thanks to Kim Jong Il, the great life and immortal exploits of the President will always be remembered by humankind, the statement stressed.
More Historical Materials and Relics Added to Revolutionary Museum
Pyongyang, July 14 (KCNA) -- Several historic buildings have been restored to their original state on the principle of historicism and more revolutionary materials and relics and mementoes added to the exhibits at the Revolutionary Museum in the Jonsung Revolutionary Site in recent years.
Among those restored are the outdoor office room, office room of the military commission, the yard in front of the historic pit and others where President Kim Il Sung led the army and people of the DPRK to the victory in the war.
A spring, which was used at that time, was newly discovered and preserved.
The newly exhibited revolutionary materials and relics include a photo of the President discussing the work with members of the military commission, a photo of the President attending the meeting held to celebrate the founding anniversary of the Korean People's Army in Juche 40 (1951), a geological map of the Kapsan Mine personally examined by the President.
Also on display there are a table clock, an inkstone, a collection of poems "The Leader Calls", magazine People and dozens of other relics.
94th Anti-U.S. Solidarity Rally Held in S. Korea
Pyongyang, July 14 (KCNA) -- Members of civic and public organizations of south Korea including the South Headquarters of the National Alliance for the Country's Reunification and the People for Achieving Peace and Reunification held the 94th anti-U.S. solidarity rally in Seoul on July 10 demanding the dismantlement of the "UN Command", according to a news report.
The speakers at the rally charged that if the "right to command wartime operations" is transferred to the "UN Command", it will give the U.S. a lever for perpetuating its forces' presence in south Korea.
A resolution read out at the rally disclosed that the "plan for the transfer of the right to command wartime operations" signed by the U.S. and south Korean armies is intended to set up a permanent mechanism for south Korea-U.S. "military cooperation ", not aimed at the "return of the right to command wartime operations".
Recalling that the commander of the U.S. forces in south Korea, who was not pleased with the "transfer of the right to command wartime operations", described the plan as an "important document which developed the follow-up plan," the resolution pointed out this fact clearly indicates the real intention of the U.S. to strengthen the "UN Command" into a "core command to provide support to combat operations."
The farce of "transferring the right to command wartime operations" is nothing but a chicanery to fool the people, the resolution said, adding that the implementation of the "plan" would make it impossible for the south Korean army to get rid of the U.S. interference and its military control.
The resolution calls upon the people to pool efforts and wage a more dynamic action for the dismantling of the "UN Command."
Withdrawal of U.S. Forces from S. Korea Urged
Pyongyang, July 14 (KCNA) -- Voices demanding the U.S. forces' pullback are growing stronger in south Korea, according to a news report.
The South Headquarters of the National Alliance for the Country's Reunification in a statement on July 10 denounced the commander of the U.S. forces in south Korea for blustering on the same day that "the U.S. forces will remain on the Korean Peninsula even after the transfer of the right to command the wartime operations to the south Korean army" and "the U.S. forces will continue performing their mission to deter provocations."
This gives lie to the promise made by the U.S. that it would transfer the above-mentioned right to the south Korean army and openly discloses its true intention to keep its forces on this land for an indefinite period, the statement said, and continued:
What should not be overlooked is the fact that the U.S. forces command in south Korea explicitly labeled the DPRK as a "provoker," while asserting that it would convert its forces into more powerful ones to deter the provocations on the Korean peninsula.
The people from all walks of life are becoming increasingly assertive in demanding the U.S. forces' pullback from south Korea, the statement said, urging the U.S. to immediately withdraw its forces from south Korea, bearing this in mind.
The South Headquarters of the National Alliance of Youth and Students for the Country's Reunification on July 12 released militant slogans calling for driving the U.S. aggressor forces, the sworn enemy of the Korean nation, out of south Korea.
The slogans called for condemning the U.S. forces in south Korea keen on arms buildup and preparations for a new war and intensifying the actions for the withdrawal of the key U.S. military bases from south Korea in a bid to escalate those actions throughout it.
They also called on the youths and students across south Korea to turn out in the struggle for the dismantlement of the U.S. military bases with July 27 as a momentum and thus become proud sons and daughters of the nation who would take the lead in the struggle for the withdrawal of the U.S. forces from south Korea under the uplifted banner of attaching importance to the nation, defending peace and achieving unity.
Rodong Sinmun on Korean War Started by U.S. Imperialists
Pyongyang, July 14 (KCNA) -- The Korean War ignited by the U.S. imperialists was a product of their strategy for world domination as they sought to occupy the whole of Korea and invade Asia and, furthermore, conquer the whole world with Korea as a base of military strategic importance.
Rodong Sinmun Saturday says this in a signed article.
It goes on:
The Korean Peninsula is the gateway to China and Russia (the then Soviet Union) and "a bridge" to the continent as it is linked to the continent and bounded on three sides by the sea.
It was the calculation of the U.S. imperialists that putting the Korean Peninsula under their control would create very favorable conditions for them to invade Asia as it would make it possible for them to transport without delay their troops and war equipment to the continent by the railways of Korea connected with the rail roads of China and the Soviet Union and ports and bays on the East and West coasts of Korea.
The U.S. imperialists directed the spearhead of attack for world domination to the Far East of Asia and made Korea as their primary target.
They have long stretched out their tentacles of aggression in a bid to conquer the Asian Continent. After the end of the Second World War, they singled out Asia as a "vital continent which would decide on the advance of the world history in 1,000 years to come" in carrying out their military strategy.
The above-said aim sought by the U.S. imperialists can be clearly proved by their "ABC scenario," the plan for Far Eastern invasion.
The first phase of the scenario (A) was to start the Korean War with the U.S. forces and south Korean forces involved and the second phase (B) was to escalate the war into Manchuria with the rearmed Japanese troops and the army of Chiang Kai-shek of Taiwan involved and the third phase (C) was to occupy Ural of the Soviet Union. This clearly testifies to the fact that the U.S. imperialists planned to escalate the Korean War into China and the Soviet Union and thus spark off a new world war.
All these facts go to prove that the U.S. imperialists ignited the Korean War regarding their domination over the whole of Korea as a key issue in realizing their wild ambition to conquer Asia and bring the world under their control.
Great Juche Idea, Torch of Independence Era
Pyongyang, July 14 (KCNA) -- The Juche idea serves as the guiding idea of the present era, era of independence, for its truth, validity and invincible vitality.
It is a new unique idea that can be neither measured nor interpreted with the preceding ideas and theories.
President Kim Il Sung fathered the Juche idea, under which he led the Korean revolution.
By applying the Juche idea to the Korean revolution, he liberated the country at the point of the bayonet and wisely led the revolutionary struggle and construction work of various stages including the construction of a new country, Fatherland Liberation War and postwar rehabilitation and construction, thus performing undying exploits.
The Juche idea, the revolutionary idea of the President, is the only guiding idea of the Workers' Party of Korea and the Korean revolution.
The Korean people have solved all the problems arising in revolution and construction only with his revolutionary idea as the guidelines.
The great reality of the DPRK verifies that no other ideas than the Juche idea can lead the revolution and construction along the right path.
It is the unshakable philosophical truth that the Korean people have acquired, covering the grim revolutionary road.
It is entirely thanks to the immortal idea that the DPRK is throwing radiant rays all over the world as the motherland of Juche, a powerful socialist country independent, self-supporting and self-reliant in national defense.
Indeed, the Juche idea is a great and immortal revolutionary idea representing the future of the humankind.
Famous works of the President which comprehend his revolutionary idea, the Juche idea, have been published in more than 110 countries and seminars on it held on over 17,000 occasions around the world.
The fact shows that people in the world are approving the great Juche idea from the bottom of their hearts and finding their way in it.
Voters' Lists Made Public
Pyongyang, July 14 (KCNA) -- Constituencies and sub-constituencies for the election of deputies to the provincial (city under the direct control of the government), city (district) and county people's assemblies of the DPRK made voters' lists known to the public Saturday.
The lists have been worked out according to the detailed regulations concerning the law on the election of deputies to the people's assemblies at all levels.
Registered there are all eligible citizens residing in the relevant areas.
Japanese Reactionaries' Falsification of Truth behind Incident Blasted
Pyongyang, July 14 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the History Society of the DPRK issued a statement Saturday bitterly denouncing the Japanese reactionaries for falsifying the truth behind the incident that happened in Hague in June 1907 in which Ri Jun, secret envoy of Korean King Kojong, disemboweled himself at the Second International Peace Conference in protest against the Japanese imperialists' gangster-like aggression of Korea.
The statement said:
A century has passed since the incident, but this incident recorded in the national history as a tragedy taught a bitter lesson that one should not depend on foreign forces under any circumstances but one should win and protect the national sovereignty and independence by oneself, not through petition.
The Japanese reactionaries and some pro-Japanese elements in south Korea are now distorting the truth behind the incident though it had already been proved as a historical fact.
They are asserting that Ri's self-destruction "was not suicide by disembowelment but a death caused by his unbearable resentment or death he met far away from home," adding that "the incident might be overstated at that time" and "die-hard nationalism helps paint Ri as a martyr."
The frantic campaign being conducted by the Abe team to suppress the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan, in particular, reminds one of the days when the Japanese imperialists were depriving Korea of its sovereignty. And this clearly indicates that their wild ambition to reinvade Korea remains unchanged still today.
It is as clear as a pikestaff that Koreans will have to suffer the same misfortune and disasters as they underwent in the last century if they remain an onlooker to the Japanese reactionaries' frantic confrontation with the DPRK and their moves to stage a comeback to Korea.
Russian Dancing Troupe's Performance Goes on
Pyongyang, July 14 (KCNA) -- The State Academy Beryozka Dancing Troupe of Russia Named after N. S. Nadezhdina continued its performance at the East Pyongyang Grand Theatre after its premiere given on July 12.
On Saturday the Russian artistes put on the stage colorful pieces including the mixed group dance "Gala Dance," the male group dance "Tree Fellers" and the comic dance "Tapping Feet" representing the life of the optimistic and diligent Russian people.
The performers of the female group dance "Autumn Waltz," a new dance created by the dancing troupe, truthfully represented Russians' love for the beautiful nature of their country with elegant and delicate rhythms and good ensemble.
Their repertoire included vocal pieces such as male solo "My Moscow" and female solo "My Oriole".
The performers enthusiastically sang the immortal revolutionary paean "Song of General Kim Jong Il" and other Korean song "The General of Korea" with deep reverence for Kim Jong Il, wining the acclaim of the audience.
Indian Organization Denounces Japanese Authorities' Suppression of Chongryon
Pyongyang, July 14 (KCNA) -- An Indian Association of mediapersons issued a statement on July 6 denouncing the Japanese authorities for their evermore undisguised suppression of the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan (Chongryon).
Abe, who inherited ultra-nationalism and national chauvinistic spirit from his ancestors steeped in bitterness toward Koreans to the marrow of their bones, has escalated the anti-DPRK, anti-Chongryon racket since he assumed the premiership by inciting enmity towards the DPRK, the statement said, and continued:
It is a very clumsy behavior for the Abe group to harshly suppress Chongryon, which has done nothing wrong, as soon as its delegates came back from the six-party talks where they kept mum.
The DPRK cannot but raise a serious question as to whether there is any need for Japan's continued participation in the six-party talks as it is behaving so meanly in a bid to attain its sinister aim.
The statement urged the Japanese authorities to immediately stop their anti-DPRK, anti-Chongryon moves.
Japanese Reactionaries' Suppression of Chongryon under Fire
Pyongyang, July 14 (KCNA) -- Growing stronger in the DPRK are voices condemning the Japanese reactionaries, the sworn enemy of the Korean people, for their vicious moves to exterminate even the right to existence of the Koreans in Japan.
A meeting of the teachers, students and employees of Pyongyang Han Tok Su University of Light Industry took place on July 13 in protest against the Japanese reactionaries' suppression of the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan (Chongryon). Speakers at the meeting branded the Japanese reactionaries' criminal moves against Chongryon and Koreans in Japan as a despicable behavior of those hell-bent on the anti-DPRK campaign, bereft of reason and bitterly denounced the Abe group in the name of all teachers, students and employees of the university.
Terming the criminal acts perpetrated by the Abe group an intolerable provocation to the DPRK and Chongryon and an act of pushing the DPRK-Japan relations to the lowest ebb, they said that this only reinforces the Korean people's will to force the Japanese reactionaries to pay for all the crimes committed against them up to this date.
All youths and students in the DPRK are renewing their firm determination to force the Abe group to pay for the crimes committed against Chongryon and Koreans in Japan, they noted, adding that the Japanese reactionaries' headlong rush into the country's militarization and its veer to the Right would only invite self-destruction.
Should the Abe group keeps going hostile to the DPRK, Chongryon and Koreans in Japan, youth and students of Songun Korea who have grown up under the care of the brilliant commander of Mt. Paektu will never pardon the Japs of the island country and the Japanese militarists will face a stern judgement of history, they warned.
For Spanish-speaking people
Personalidades de Siria e India elogian a Kim Il Sung
Pyongyang, 14 de julio (ATCC) -- Con motivo del 13o aniversario del fallecimiento del Presidente Kim Il Sung, varias personalidades de Siria y la India publicaron sendas declaraciones.
Saber Ballul, subdecano de la facultad de la politica de la Universidad de Damasco de Siria, elogio en su declaracion fechada 8 que el Presidente Kim Il Sung es el heroe nacional, destacado ideologo y teorico, poseedor de la firme voluntad y genio en los asuntos militares.
Recordo que el Presidente ayudo en lo material y espiritual la lucha de liberacion nacional del pueblo sirio y subrayo que las hazanas de el, quien es el mejor entre los grandes hombres, quedan grabadas en el corazon del pueblo sirio.
El secretario del Comite del Partido del Congreso Nacional Indio Gandhi en Delhi Este, dijo en su declaracion publicada el dia 6 que los amigos extranjeros recuerdan con mucha emocion junto con el pueblo coreano la grandiosa vida y las hazanas del Presidente Kim Il Sung y agrego que la causa del Juche iniciada por este continua con firmeza gracias al Dirigente Kim Jong Il.
Ratifico que gracias al Dirigente, la grandiosa vida y las hazanas inmortales del Presidente brillaran para siempre en el corazon de la humanidad.
Estudiantes coreanos repudian represion a Chongryon en Japon
Pyongyang, 14 de julio (ATCC) -- Suben de tono en Corea las voces de denuncia a los reaccionarios japoneses, enemigos jurados historicos del pueblo coreano, quienes maniobran brutalmente para acabar con el derecho a la vida de los coreanos radicados en Japon.
En particular, los profesores, empleados y estudiantes de la Universidad de Industria Ligera Han Tok Su de Pyongyang celebraron la vispera un mitin de protesta a la campana represiva contra la Chongryon (Asociacion General de Coreanos Residentes en Japon) por parte de los reaccionarios japoneses.
Los oradores calificaron esas barbaridades criminales contra la Chongryon y los coreanos residentes en Japon de una sucia conducta de los tipejos enloquecidos por las maniobras anti-RPDC.
Seguidamente, criticaron categoricamente a la banda de Abe en nombre de todos los profesores, empleados y estudiantes del plantel docente.
Tal conducta criminal de la horda de Abe constituye una imperdonable provocacion a la RPDC y la Chongryon y lleva a la peor fase las relaciones entre la primera y Japon, recalcaron.
Subrayaron que esto hace mas ferrea la voluntad de ajustar la cuenta de modo consecuente con los reaccionarios islenos de todos los crimenes de Japon cometidos en el pasado y que se perpetran ahora en detrimento del pueblo coreano.
Los jovenes universitarios de todo el pais multiplican su determinacion de vengarse de la banda de Abe por el brutal acoso a la Chongryon y los compatriotas en Japon. Lo unico que les toca a los reaccionarios de este pais, que marchan hacia la militarizacion y la derechizacion, es la autodestruccion, advirtieron.
Si los pandilleros liderados por Abe continuan en sus acciones hostiles a la RPDC, la Chongryon y los coreanos radicados en Japon, los jovenes estudiantes de la Corea del Songun (priorizacion militar), que crecieron en el regazo del insigne General del Paektu, Dirigente Kim Jong Il, no perdonaran jamas al clan de los samurais, y los militaristas japoneses seran condenados duro por la historia, concluyeron.
