Pyongyang, September 28 (KCNA) -- Sergey Topalov, member of the Central Committee of the Ukrainian Communist Party and second secretary of the Crimean Republic Committee, gave his impressions of the DPRK in a press interview on Sept. 17 after visiting it to take part in the celebrations of the 60th anniversary of the Korean people's victory in the Fatherland Liberation War. He said: The Korean people's day of victory in the war is one of the significant national holidays. The DPRK is on a high level of education in military affairs and patriotism. The Victorious Fatherland Liberation War Museum, a magnificent monumental edifice in the DPRK, contributes to educating the younger generation in patriotic tradition so that they may carry forward the soul of their grandfathers and fathers. Accusing the U.S. and the Western media of conducting their stereotyped false propaganda about the DPRK, he went on: The DPRK is making very successful progress. During my stay there I witnessed once again the free education system, free medical care and other socialist welfare measures enforced in the DPRK. A remarkable leap forward has been brought about in the efforts to improve the people's living standard in the DPRK in recent years under the leadership of Kim Jong Un, the supreme leader of the party and state. The Western media's claim that the DPRK is a closed country is no more than a fiction cooked up and spread by them. He introduced Pyongyang, the capital of the DPRK, as follows: Pyongyang has wide and clean avenues with developed public transportation system such as metro, trolley bus, tramcar and bus services. There are good cultural and amusement facilities including parks. Neither beggars nor paupers could be found there. Pyongyang City is one of the most secure cities in the world. We were deeply moved to see the Korean people's profound respect and reverence for their leader. Society is stable without the rich and the poor. The people are fully confident of their future. Watching the military parade celebrating the 60th anniversary of victory in the war, I came to have conviction of the invincible might of the Korean People's Army. The Western media are releasing misinformation about the DPRK because the U.S. sustained a shameful defeat in the last Korean War. By concluding the Armistice Agreement on July 27, 1953 the U.S. admitted its defeat in the Korean War. This was the first defeat of the U.S. in history. The DPRK, not a big country, lives its own way and its people live well quite contrary to the terrible life described by the "highly civilized West". Many cutting-edge projects were carried out or are now under way in the DPRK. It is capable of implementing its plans for ultra modernization. What is important is that no one should threaten DPRK or disturb its development and impose one's ideology on it. |
