International Duty to Preserve Ozone Layer Discharged in DPRK

   Pyongyang, September 15 (KCNA) -- Ever worsening destruction of ozonosphere does a serious harm to the human health and natural ecosystem.
    The government of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is doing its best to perform its international duty for realizing the program of reducing ozone-destroying substances in accordance with the Vienna Convention on preserving the ozone layer and the Montreal Protocol on reducing ozone-destroying substances.
    The government has instituted and enforced various laws and regulations including the Law on Environmental Protection and Law on Appraising Environmental Influence, thus taking practical measures for the preservation of ozonosphere.
    As part of such undertakings, the government sees to it that the substances destroying ozone layer are collected and regenerated for use from cold-storage facilities and the industrial production processes are being converted into ones which do not use ozone-destroying substances.
    The government also took a step to restrict and ban the import and use of the air conditioners and cold-storage facilities emitting ozone-destroying substances.
    It sponsors colorful activities in various forms and methods on the International Ozone Day (September 16) every year.
    This year, too, a national seminar on the protection of ozone layer was organized on the occasion of the day.
    The seminar introduced activities across the country for protecting the ozone layer and heard speeches on relevant technical issues.
    A drawing contest of primary school pupils on the theme of preserving ozonosphere was held at the Pyongyang Schoolchildren's Palace.
    Meanwhile, the mass media give wide publicity to activities for preventing the ozone layer from being destroyed.


Russian Dancers Perform in Hamhung

   Hamhung, September 14 (KCNA) -- The State Academic Moiseyev Dance Company of Russia performed at the Hamhung Grand Theatre from Sept. 12 to 14.
    The performance was appreciated by Kim Phung Gi, chairman of the South Hamgyong Provincial People's Committee, Kim Kyu Bin, secretary of the South Hamgyong Provincial Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, and people from all walks of life.
    Russian artistes put on the stage colorful numbers.
    In dances "Summer", "Kalmyk" and "Tartar Girl" they truthfully represented the lifestyle and feelings of Russians with peculiar rhythms and perfect ensemble.
    They staged one-act ballet dance drama "Mt. Rusaya at Night", making the performance impressive.
    They also presented Moldovan dance suite, Uzbek dance "Dish Dance" and dances of other countries as well as Korean dance.


Reckless Remarks of Ri Myong Bak under Fire

   Pyongyang, September 16 (KCNA) -- Ri Myong Bak, presidential candidate from the Grand National Party of south Korea, is letting loose a spate of reckless remarks intended to oppose the development of inter-Korean relations, peace, prosperity and reunification and incite confrontation, war and division. It is, indeed, an intentional traitorous act aimed to throw a wet blanket over the hope of the Koreans and baffle the national feast for reunification by provoking the DPRK.
    Minju Joson today observes this in a signed commentary.
    The DPRK can never overlook the behavior of Ri who dares to provoke it and incites confrontation and war, making an issue of the north-south summit for no reason, the commentary says, and goes on:
    When provoking the DPRK, Ri pretended to be interested in the settlement of the nuclear issue, but this only laid bare his ignorance. The root cause of the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula is the United States which has shipped nukes into south Korea and threatened the DPRK with them.
    He also expressed his will to attach importance to the relations with the U.S., unreasonably criticizing the forthcoming inter-Korean summit and slandering the fellow countrymen. It is a product of wicked scheme to curry favor with the U.S. in a bid to place himself in a "presidential" seat under the patronage of it, his master, in disregard of the destiny of the nation. This glaringly revealed his true colors as a philistine and a traitor who does not hesitate to misuse even the important event of the nation for a political purpose in order to gratify his covetous greed for power.
    Therefore, it is as clear as noonday that if the GNP comes to power it would sell off the interests of the nation to the U.S. and run headlong towards confrontation, division and war. In order to prevent such aftermath it is necessary to drive all the gentries of the GNP, who are parasitic on the U.S. while turning against the nation, out of the political circles.
    All Koreans would sternly punish the traitors turning aside from the desire of the nation and trend of the times and agitating confrontation, war and division, mad for personal distinction and greed for power.


Rodong Sinmun on Japan's "Asian Diplomacy"

   Pyongyang, September 15 (KCNA) -- Japan's "Asian diplomacy" is a very dangerous scenario for militarist reinvasion as it is aimed at Japanizing Asia to establish the order of domination of "Great Empire of Japan" which it failed to do in the past and act an "emperor," observes Rodong Sinmun Saturday in a signed article.
    Japan is now going busy with "Asian diplomacy" in a bid to give impression that it is standing for the establishment of fair relations with Asian countries and peace, the article says, and goes on:
    The real intention of Japan's "Asian diplomacy" is, however, to make an inroad into Asia in real earnest in a bid to establish the sphere of domination, seek its own interests and improve its tarnished international image.
    The attitude of Asian countries toward Japan is, however, negative. Such being a hard fact, the Japanese ruling quarters regard it as the most urgent task to burnish its tarnished image and win favor of Asian countries through positive "Asian diplomacy." This is evidenced by "common strategic interests," "co-existence and co-prosperity," "establishment of peace" and "economic aid" much touted by Abe and other Japanese high-ranking officials during their trips to Asian countries last month.
    Japan launched hectic "Asian diplomacy" mainly in pursuit of its economic interests. It is an intrinsic economic and animal nature of Japan to sacrifice others for its own interests. Japan's talk that it is "sincere in helping others in economic development" is nothing but sophism which can convince no one.
    Japan's oft-repeated "Asian diplomacy" is chiefly aimed at realizing its ambition for reinvasion of Asia.
    Abe came out with "broader Asia" initiative during his visit to Asian countries. This was also prompted by Japan's attempt to escalate its infiltration into Asia on a full scale and realize the old dream of "Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere." By realizing "broader Asia" initiative Japan foolishly seeks to contain the DPRK and China and establish its military domination over Asia and, furthermore, become the "leader" of Asia. Japan's loudmouthed theory of "broader Asia" precisely means a slogan for reinvasion of Asia and a logic of domination over it.
    Japan is, however, grossly mistaken. It is an anachronistic dream to realize its design for dominating Asia through "Asian diplomacy."


Japan's Reckless Moves for Reinvasion Flailed

   Pyongyang, September 15 (KCNA) -- Japan is mulling over purchasing F-22A Raptor from the U.S. while pursuing the development of new type ultra-modern fighters. It is also escalating Japan-U.S. joint military exercises while stepping up the development of Missile Defence System (MD) together with the U.S. This is a vivid manifestation of Japan's moves to emerge a military giant and launch overseas aggression, observes Rodong Sinmun Saturday in a signed commentary.
    Japan seeks to rank itself among military powers by stepping up the moves to become a military giant and thereby establish military supremacy in various regions of the world under the signboard of "making an international contribution to peace", the commentary notes, and goes on:
    It is precisely for this purpose that the Japanese reactionaries have persistently insisted on extending the term of validity of the law on special measures against terrorism which will expire on November 1 this year. By extending at any cost the term of the validity of the above-said law which allows by law the overseas dispatch of their "Self-Defence Forces (SDF)," the Japanese reactionaries seek to justify the long-term presence and activities of the SDF overseas.
    They are working hard to convert Japan into a military power and launch overseas aggression in a bid to realize come what may the old dream of the "Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere" which they failed to do in the last century.
    The DPRK is the primary target of Japan's overseas aggression. The Japanese Defence Ministry is set to conduct field study this month to cope with the "missile threat" from the DPRK. These are war moves aimed to elaborate on its scenario to stage a comeback to Korea and examine and round off the preparedness for a preemptive attack.
    All the military measures and actions taken by Japan are orientated toward realizing its ambition to stage a comeback to Korea to begin with, increasing the danger of its aggression as the days go by.


Withdrawal of U.S. Forces from S. Korea Called for

   Pyongyang, September 15 (KCNA) -- To get the U.S. imperialist aggression forces withdrawn from south Korea is the most urgent task that the Korean nation should carry out to accomplish the historic cause of national reunification, says Rodong Sinmun in a signed article Saturday.
    The Korean nation's ardent desire for the reunification of the country has not yet been realized entirely because the U.S. imperialists have pursued the policy of perpetuating the division of the Korean nation, interfering in its internal affairs since their occupation of south Korea, the article notes, and goes on:
    To drive the U.S. imperialist aggression forces out of south Korea is a key to preventing a war and defending peace in the Korean Peninsula.
    It is a well-known fact that the U.S., regarding the Korean Peninsula as an important strategic vantage for its domination over Northeast Asia and the rest of the world, turned south Korea into the largest nuclear forward base in the Far East, a large military base for invading the DPRK, and has systematically reinforced its aggression forces in south Korea and ceaselessly staged the joint military exercises against the DPRK, thus aggravating the situation and increasing the danger of outbreak of a war.
    The U.S. is now advertising that its military presence in south Korea is intended to "deter any possible provocation" of somebody and "keep peace" in the Korean Peninsula and its vicinity. But it is shameless sophism of confusing the right and wrong and a deception to justify the U.S. imperialist aggression troops' occupation of south Korea and cover up their criminal colors as the forces wrecking peace and the source of war of aggression.
    Their occupation of south Korea can never be pardoned.


Struggle for Independence Called for

   Pyongyang, September 15 (KCNA) -- The cause of the country's reunification is the cause of national independence which started and advances victoriously under the banner of independence.
    Rodong Sinmun today says this in a signed article.
    Noting that national independence is the basic principle and stand which should be adhered to in the struggle for solving problems of the nation and carving out its destiny, the article goes on:
    Strict adherence to the principle and stand of national independence makes it possible to properly settle the problems of the nation and successfully carve out its destiny.
    The history of the Korean nation teaches a bitter lesson that a nation can survive and achieve development and prosperity only when it protects independence.
    The Korean nation had been subject to the miserable colonial slavery, deprived of the country by outsiders.
    The south Korean people are drawing the same bitter lesson from having experienced all sorts of national humiliation and disgrace under the foreign military occupation that came on the heels of the Japanese imperialists' colonial rule.
    Adherence to the principle of national independence is a lifeline in accomplishing the cause of the country's reunification, the greatest task of the nation. The Korean nation greeted the June 15 era of reunification in which the dynamic movement for national reconciliation, cooperation and independent reunification is under way under the banner of national independence, the banner of "By our nation itself." This reality clearly proves that the road of national independence is the only way for the Korean nation to follow.
    It presents itself as the most important matter in the Koreans' struggle to firmly adhere to the stand of attaching importance to the nation.
    It is impossible for the Koreans to achieve the national independence and the country's reunification and live in peace as long as the U.S. forces are allowed to resort to all sorts of arbitrary practices and infringe upon the dignity, sovereignty and interests of the Korean nation. All the Koreans are called upon to wage a fiercer struggle to drive the U.S. forces out of south Korea, bearing deep in mind that the withdrawal of the U.S. forces guarantees the national independence and the survival of the Korean nation.

    The participants of the film shows watched Korean documentary films such as "To Hold Fatherly Leader in Higher Esteem" and "The Brilliant History of Great Leadership".

    The director of a Malaysian company said that the Korean people are sure to build a great prosperous powerful nation under the wise leadership of Kim Jong Il.
    The meeting adopted a congratulatory message to Kim Jong Il.


DPRK's Birthday Marked in Sweden

   Pyongyang, September 15 (KCNA) -- The Sweden-Korea Friendship Association issued the magazine "Information from DPRK" No. 3 on the occasion of the 59th anniversary of the DPRK.
    The magazine gave a detailed account of the fact that the DPRK has covered the road of shining victories under the wise leadership of President Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il over the past 59 years since its foundation and the army and people of the DPRK are accelerating the building of a great prosperous powerful nation while smashing all sorts of moves against it.
    The magazine referred to the movements for peace and reunification that have become brisk on the Korean Peninsula in recent years.
    Demanding the U.S. and Japan roll back their hostile policies towards the DPRK, the magazine assailed the U.S. for staging the "Ulji Focus Lens" joint military exercises together with the bellicose forces of south Korea despite strong protest from the international community and thereby straining the situation on the Korean Peninsula and, at the same time, escalating its vicious ideological and cultural poisoning and psychological warfare against the DPRK.


National Unity Called for in S. Korea

   Pyongyang, September 16 (KCNA) -- The South Headquarters of the National Alliance for the Country's Reunification (Pomminryon) reportedly held a function in Seoul on September 10, in which it called for realizing the national unity under the banner of "By our nation itself".
    Noting that as fellow countrymen they feel bitter pain at the news that the north recently suffered enormous flood damage, speakers at the function said that all the matters such as checking the imperialists' moves for aggression, achieving the reunification and healing the north's flood damage should be solved by the concerted efforts of the Korean nation.
    The progress of the inter-Korean relations in the era of June 15 reunification has proven that the struggle under the banner of "By our nation itself" is the most reasonable, they said, calling for frustrating the wild ambition for power of the conservative forces, who are standing in the way of reunification, by the united efforts of the nation.


Anti-GNP Struggle Urged in S. Korea

   Pyongyang, September 16 (KCNA) -- The South Headquarters of the National Alliance of Youth and Students for the Country's Reunification reportedly released a statement on September 12, calling for turning out in the struggle against the Grand National Party of south Korea.
    The statement referred to the fact that pro-U.S. conservatives, including Ri Myong Bak who was elected as the presidential candidate of the GNP, have openly opposed the forthcoming inter-Korean summit and made remarks critical of it.
    The U.S., too, is zealously inciting the GNP's anti-DPRK campaign while getting frantic with the moves to keep its military presence in south Korea and provoke a war against the DPRK, though talking about the improvement of U.S.-DPRK relations, the statement pointed out.
    The statement called upon the people from all walks of life to invigorate the general offensive against the U.S. and conduct on a mass scale the information action of exposing the anti-reunification deeds of the GNP gentries.
    Youth and students will take lead in the struggle for glorifying the June 15 era of reunification full of confidence in victory, it said.


Actions against FTA Unabated in S. Korea

   Pyongyang, September 15 (KCNA) -- Rallies to check the conclusion of the south Korea-U.S. FTA reportedly took place all at once in over 70 cities and counties in south Korea on Sept. 11 under the co-sponsorship of the Headquarters of the All-People Movement for Checking the south Korea-U.S. FTA, the Central Association of Agricultural Managers and the Federation of Peasants Associations in south Korea.
    They were participated in by at least 40,000 people from all walks of life.
    Speakers at the rallies branded the FTA as an agreement to destroy agriculture as it is aimed at selling off the interests of the people to the outside forces and posing a grave threat to the existence of peasants.
    They said that people would actively turn out in the all-out actions for foiling the authorities' moves to conclude the FTA.


Conference Held in S. Korea to Inaugurate Solidarity for Progress

   Pyongyang, September 15 (KCNA) -- The preparatory committee of the "Solidarity for the Progress in south Korea" reportedly held a conference on September 12 in preparation for its inauguration.

It was agreed to have a meeting on coming Sept. 16 to inaugurate the organization and arouse all the people to a campaign for the victory in the "presidential elections." An action plan was made public there.
    The conference also adopted a programme and statute which called for achieving the independent and peaceful reunification of the Korean Peninsula by implementing the June 15 joint declaration under the banner of "By our nation itself", winning the sovereignty of the nation, protecting the right of the people to existence and standing against the U.S. policy for colonial domination and neo-liberal "globalization", etc.

   Pyongyang, September 15 (KCNA) -- The South Headquarters of the National Alliance for the Country's Reunification, the People for Achieving Peace and Reunification, the Solidarity for Implementing the South-North Joint Declaration and other civic and social organizations held the 96th anti-U.S. solidarity meeting in front of the U.S. embassy in Seoul on September 11, according to a news report.
    Speakers at the meeting said that the U.S. moves to increase the role of the "UN Command" are aimed at realizing its strategy for dominating the whole of Korea, urging the U.S. to give up its hypocritical "transfer of the right to command wartime operations" and dismantle the command.
    A resolution read out at the meeting denounced the U.S. for its moves to reorganize the U.S. forces in south Korea into a "rapid task force" in a bid to boost its capability for military intervention in Northeast Asia and, at the same time, create a highly integrated "military cooperation headquarters" going beyond the existing capability for military command system under the pretext of "transferring the right to command wartime operations".
    The resolution said that in order to establish a peace-keeping mechanism on the Korean Peninsula the U.S. should, first of all, give up its hostile policy toward the DPRK and withdraw its forces from south Korea.

    The participants of the film shows watched the Korean film "The Great Leader Comrade Kim Jong Il Visits the Far Eastern Region of the Russian Federation".

Rodong Sinmun fustiga intento de Japon de reagredir a ultramar

   Pyongyang, 15 de septiembre (ATCC) -- Al presentar en un comentario individual publicado este sabado las pruebas coherentes de las maniobras de Japon para convertirse en una potencia militar y agredir a ultramar, el diario Rodong Sinmun cito las tentativas de desarrollar un nuevo caza ultramoderno y comprar de Estados Unidos el caza Stealth "F-22A Raptor", el impulso del desarrollo conjunto del sistema antimisiles y la intensificacion de los ejercicios militares conjuntos con este imperio.
    Ahora, ese pais isleno trata de ocupar la posicion de potencia militar al dar acicate a las maniobras para este fin e intenta practicar el despotismo militar en varias regiones del mundo bajo el pretexto de la "contribucion a la paz internacional", comienza el comentarista y prosigue:
    En ese contexto, los reaccionarios japoneses insisten obstinadamente en dar prorroga a la "ley de medidas especiales frente al terrorismo", que permite legalmente el envio de las "fuerzas de autodefensa" a ultramar y que va a vencer el primero de noviembre.
    De esa manera, se proponen a legalizar el estacionamiento a largo plazo de esos efectivos en ultramar y sus operaciones.
    Todas esas maniobras parten del intento de los reaccionarios nipones de realizar a toda costa en este siglo su largamente acariciado sueno de la "esfera de coprosperidad de gran Asia oriental", que no pudieron alcanzar en el siglo pasado.
    La Republica Popular Democratica de Corea es el primer blanco de la agresion a ultramar de Japon.
    El Ministerio de Defensa de Japon planea realizar este mes una investigacion de campana para hacer frente a la "amenaza de misiles" de Corea, lo cual deviene una maniobra belica para concretar mas el plan de nueva agresion a ella, revisar y perfeccionar la disposicion para el ataque preventivo.
    Todas las medidas y acciones militares de Japon se encaminan en primer lugar a nueva agresion a Corea y se tornan cada dia mas peligrosas.
