Rodong Sinmun on WPK's idea of giving importance to young people
Pyongyang, August 26 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun today dedicates an article to the 10th anniversary of the Youth Day just at hand.
The article says:
Leader Kim Jong Il sent the historical letter "Young Men and Women, Be the Vanguard Unfailingly Loyal to the Party and the Leader" to the young people throughout the country and the workers of the youth league on August 26, Juche 80 (1991) on the occasion of the first Youth Day. It is an immortal work that brought about a turn in further developing the youth movement in Korea and training young people into reliable successors on the basis of the brilliant tradition of the Juche-oriented youth movement established by President Kim Il Sung.
Clarifying the significance and importance of setting as Youth Day, the historical day when Kim Il Sung formed the Young Communist League of Korea on August 28, 1927 in the period of the anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle, Kim Jong Il in the work clearly indicated tasks arising in further developing the youth movement and ways for their fulfillment.
The vitality of the WPK's idea of giving importance to young people is clearly proved by the fact that all the young people live and struggle as absolute worshippers of Kim Jong Il and fighters devotedly defending the leader.
The proud tradition of devotedly defending the leader that the young communists upheld in the period of the anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle is confidently carried forward by the young people today.
The vitality of the idea also finds a vivid expression in the fact that the young people are upholding the WPK's idea and leadership with loyalty.
The Korean young people are fully demonstrating their honour of being young vanguard in upholding the army-first leadership of Kim Jong Il, deeply aware through experiences that stability of the country and the prosperity of the nation are in store for people and youth can have a rosy future only when the revolutionary army is strong.
The young people are glorifying the high honour of being vanguard and shock brigade in the building of a powerful socialist nation.
This is a striking manifestation of the vitality of the idea.

U.S. chiefly responsible for nuclear threat
Pyongyang, August 26 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun today in a signed commentary accuses the U.S. council, on foreign relations, an institute for the study of diplomatic policy, of recently making much fuss about the DPRK's "access to nuclear weapons."
Those with a blacked-hearted intention are apt to pull up others, it says, and goes on:
The U.S. rakes its brain to make the DPRK's "access to nuclear weapons" a fait accompli in a bid to justify its "proposal for the resumption of conditional negotiations" and shift the responsibility for the deadlocked and delayed DPRK-U.S. talks on to it.
By doing so, the U.S. seeks to divert other countries' attention to the DPRK and avert the world's watchful eyes that focused on the U.S.
The U.S has stockpiled hundreds of tons of plutonium for producing nuclear weapons. There are over 20,000 nuclear warheads in the U.S.
Not content with this, the U.S intends to modernize the facilities for producing nuclear weapons and produce and deploy more nukes with a budget of 5 billion dollars spread over 10 years to come.
It is the U.S. which is threating other countries with nukes.
The U.S. is browbeating the DPRK with nuclear weapons massively deployed in and around South Korea.
The Korean people are exposed to nuclear threat no matter where U.S. nukes are deployed. The U.S. is technically at war with the DPRK.
That is why the DPRK is facing a constant U.S. nuclear threat.
The commentary warns: If the U.S. persistently goes in for nuclear confrontation, the DPRK will be left with no option but to take a countermeasure.
