Rodong Sinmun on WPK's Line of National Reunification
Pyongyang, October 1 (KCNA) -- The line of national reunification pursued by the Workers' Party of Korea is a patriotic line for putting an end to the tragedy of national division and guaranteeing and propelling the realization of the Koreans' unanimous desire for independent reunification and an invincible line for smashing the anti-reunification moves of the separatist forces inside and outside Korea and bringing about a steady surge in the movement for national reunification.
Rodong Sinmun Monday says this in a signed article.
It is none other than the WPK which is more thoughtful of the Koreans' desire and wish for national reunification than of anything else out of its heavy responsibility for the destiny of the country and nation and has worked hard for their realization, the article says, and goes on:
The WPK has regarded the great unity of the whole nation as a sure guarantee for meeting the challenges of the anti-reunification forces inside and outside Korea by concerted efforts of the nation and bringing earlier the day of independent reunification and waged a dynamic struggle for it.
The WPK's line is an effective line for building a reunified great prosperous powerful nation on this land under the great banner of Songun.
It is the WPK's steadfast stand and unshakable will to preserve and eternally glorify the immortal exploits President Kim Il Sung performed in the efforts for national reunification.
The adoption of the historic June 15 joint declaration and signal progress made in the inter-Korean relations and movement for national reunification based on the idea of "By our nation itself" are the brilliant fruition of Kim Jong Il's patriotic Songun politics.

Pyongyang, 1 de octubre (ATCC) -- Segun fuentes castrenses, se reportaron en septiembre mas de 160 casos de espionaje aereo contra la Republica Popular Democratica de Corea, de ellos mas de 110 por parte de las tropas agresoras norteamericanas y mas de 50 por el ejercito surcoreano.
Un "U-2" de EE.UU., que tiene su base en el Sur de Corea, realizo esa operacion mas de 20 veces.
Especificamente, los dias 27 y 28, incurrio en el reconocimiento electronico y filmacion sobre toda la extension de la RPDC realizando vuelos de ida y vuelta en el cielo sobre la isla Tokjok, Phochon, Rinje y Sokcho.
Por otra parte, el dia 24, 4 unidades de "RC-12" se enfrascaron en la vigilancia y espionaje sobre las zonas de la RPDC sobrevolando todo el dia la Linea de Demarcacion Militar.
Los dias 5, 7 y 13, se sumaron a esas actividades las aeronaves de tipo "RC-135" de EE.UU. provenientes de las bases en ultramar.
Los dias 7, 9 y 24, un "EP-3" despegado de su base en Japon, sobrevolo de dia a noche las costas de los Mares Este y Oeste de Corea en la parte surcoreana realizando el sondeo y el reconocimiento electronico sobre las costas y el fondo maritimo de la RPDC.
El dia 5, un "E-3", que se traslado de su base en ultramar al firmamento surcoreano, hizo otro tanto al tiempo que dirigia las escuadrillas de aviones en los ejercicios de combate aereo.
En tanto, los belicistas de la capa militar del Sur de Corea mandaron cada dia 2 o 3 aviones de marcas "RC-800" y "RF-4C" para espiar la RPDC.
Rodong Sinmun desenmascara la politica de DDHH de EE.UU.
Pyongyang, 1 de octubre (ATCC) -- La politica reaccionaria de derechos humanos es la fuente de la violacion de la soberania y la perturbacion de la estabilidad.
Asi revela el diario Rodong Sinmun en un articulo individual del 30 de septiembre y continua:
La aplicacion de la pauta de doble rasero en el sector de derechos humanos es, en su esencia, la revelacion de la erronea concepcion ideologica y actitud de ignorar la dignidad y derechos independientes del ser humano y de demandar la "integracion" del mundo a base de la "concepcion de valor" determinada.
EE.UU. y otros paises imperialistas sostienen que no hay problema en el sector de DDHH para los paises que le obedecen docilmente, pero existe grave "problema de DDHH" para los paises que mantienen la posicion independiente.
EE.UU. sale con la erronea pauta de doble rasero al blandir el latigo de "DDHH" para lograr que la "concepcion de valor" y el modo de vida suyos predominen en todos los paises y americanizar el mundo.
La aplicacion de la doble pauta de EE.UU. en el sector de DDHH origina la confrontacion y el conflicto de los paises y perturba el orden de la paz internacional.
EE.UU. lanza la ofensiva de "DDHH" contra otros paises y en caso de que esta no surte efecto recurre sin titubeo al acto bandidesco de poner en accion las fuerzas armadas.
La leccion historica demuestra que sin frustrar la ofensiva de "DDHH" de los imperialistas es imposible lograr el desarrollo libre de la nacion y defender la soberania del pais.
La garantia para frustrar la siniestra ofensiva de "DDHH" de los imperialistas radica en establecer la politica conveniente a la realidad de cada pais, movilizar el pueblo en llevarla a efecto, y mantener en vigencia las costumbres propias y las tradiciones culturales de la nacion.
