Cambodian King on Relations with DPRK

   Pyongyang, February 12 (KCNA) -- The relationship between the Kingdom of Cambodia and the DPRK is the relations of friendship provided by Great King Norodom Sihanouk, father of the Cambodian nation, and Generalissimo Kim Il Sung, the great leader of the Korean people.
    Cambodian King Norodom Sihamoni said this when meeting the DPRK ambassador to Cambodia who paid a farewell call on him on Feb. 7. He expressed the belief that the historical relationship would continue to develop on good terms in the future, too.
    In recent years the Korean people have achieved great successes in their efforts for national prosperity and the independent and peaceful reunification of Korea under the wise leadership of Kim Jong Il, the king noted, heartily congratulating them on the achievements.


Immediate Withdrawal of U.S. Troops Demanded in S. Korea

   Pyongyang, February 12 (KCNA) -- The Youth and Students Solidarity for Implementing the June 15 Joint Declaration of south Korea reportedly made public a statement on Feb. 9 in demand of the immediate withdrawal of the U.S. troops from south Korea.
    The statement noted that the United States was making haste with the project to expand its military base in Phyongthaek under the pretext of "maintaining peace in Northeast Asia" while working hard to finalize the preparations for a war on the Korean Peninsula by boosting the military position and role of the now defunct "UN Command"
    The people of all social standings strongly oppose the "meeting on security policy initiative" for justifying the U.S. forces' presence in south Korea, it said, adding: The U.S. forces in south Korea should not hasten the transfer of their base to Phyongthaek but return to their den of war and crimes, taking with them all their nukes and death tools.


S. Korean People's Struggle against FTA Supported

   Pyongyang, February 12 (KCNA) -- The south Korean people's struggle against the signing of the "Free Trade Agreement" is an eruption of their resolute will to defend national dignity and interests and vital rights from foreign economic aggression, declares Rodong Sinmun in a commentary Monday.
    The analyst goes on:
    The FTA in question is a catastrophic document which would intensify the U.S. domination and economic subjugation of south Korea and worsen the economic crisis, thus bringing unemployment, poverty and social confusion and driving people's living to the bottom of misery.
    The United States has imposed unbearable misfortunes and sufferings upon the people while occupying south Korea for over 60 years. Now it is going to rob south Korea of everything and its people of their elementary right to live by binding it to such unequal and shackling yoke as the FTA.
    Still more intolerable is that the pro-U.S. conservative forces in south Korea including the Grand National Party of south Korea captive to flunkeyism toward the U.S. are trying to abuse the struggle of the people against the FTA for grabbing power, crying over "people's living" and "economy."
    The south Korean people cannot get rid of misfortunes and pain by leaving alone the U.S. which is tightening the noose of looting around the neck of south Korea, regarding it as a chunk of fat.
    The south Korean authorities should stop the FTA negotiations without delay as demanded by the people.


Japan Urged to Fulfil Its Commitment under Intl' Law to Settle Its Past Crimes

   Pyongyang, February 12 (KCNA) -- Members of the U.S. House of Representatives recently presented to Congress a resolution demanding the Japanese government make a clear formal apology for the crimes related to the "comfort women" for the Imperial Japanese Army committed during the period of the Second World War. This can be interpreted as one reflecting the public mindset demanding Japan redress without delay the crimes perpetrated by it in the past. Rodong Sinmun Monday observes this in a signed commentary.
    Japan is a criminal state which brought unspeakable sufferings, misfortune and disasters to the Korean people after illegally occupying Korea in the past, the commentary notes, and goes on:
    It has become an international trend for any country to reflect on its past wrongs and redeem them.
    The fair world public is, therefore, lifting its just voices demanding the Japanese government own its responsibility for the above-said crimes and make a state compensation for them. It was quite natural for the U.S. lawmakers to have presented the above-mentioned resolution to Congress.
    Any country which fails to fulfil its commitment under international law and a moral obligation can hardly get the trust of the international community. Japan should fully settle its past crimes including those related to the "comfort women" for the Imperial Japanese Army. This is the only way for Japan to live in peace with a clean conscience, trusted by the international community. For Japan to settle its past wrongs is not a business-like matter but a political and moral issue and a matter related to international law, an issue of redressing the crimes committed against humanity and purifying its blemished conscience. This serves as a yardstick to judge whether Japan is willing to turn over a new leaf, drawing a lesson from its crime-woven history.
    If the Japanese authorities continue playing sleight of hand in a bid to flee without redressing the crimes committed by Japan in the past, they will stand marooned by the public and the times for good.


U.S. Policy of Strength under Fire

   Pyongyang, February 12 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun in a signed article Monday brands the policy of strength forced by the United States as an anti-historical and anti-peace action going against the trend of the times.
    The Bush administration, advertising "the building of a powerful U.S.", is pursuing the policy of strength, a leftover of the Cold War era, in its hare-brained military adventures to put the world under its control by force of arms, it notes, and continues:
    The Bush bloc has chosen a preemptive nuclear attack as the main mode of military action for implementing the policy of strength and is rounding off its arms deployment and military operational command system to suit it. On the other hand, it openly commits brigandish wars of aggression and military intervention to seize independent countries and military strategic vantages under the cloak of "anti-terrorism".
    The U.S. imperialists have adopted the strategy of preemptive nuclear attack as the main mode of war and are making haste with the miniaturization of nukes geared to it, considering that it is now possible to use nukes safely and effectively today when there is no more military rival in the international arena unlike in the Cold War era when the East and West stood in an acute military standoff.
    It results from the policy of strength and policy of aggression forced by the United States that the global situation is getting more complicated and many countries are embroiled in wars to suffer huge losses, human and material.
    The U.S. policy of strength, a leftover of the Cold War era, is doomed to go bankrupt. The faster the Bush administration races along the road of war, clinging to the anachronistic policy of strength, the deeper it sinks into a political crisis. The Bush administration would be well advised not to run about madly in aggression and war, regarding strength as the almighty means, but to follow the flow of the times toward peace.


U.S. Planned "Verification" of S. Korean Presidential Candidates Ridiculed

   Pyongyang, February 12 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the Central Committee of the Democratic Front for the Reunification of the Fatherland issued a statement Monday dismissing the U.S. planned "verification" of the presidential candidates of south Korea as an extension of the mean methods it employed to install successive pro-U.S. regimes in south Korea and an undisguised interference in its internal affairs aimed at strangulating the forces supporting the June 15 joint declaration and helping the traitorous "Grand National Party" seize power.
    It is well known that whenever there were "presidential elections" in south Korea the U.S. deeply involved itself in them. But it is the first time that it has openly declared its plan to stage the farce of "verifying south Korean presidential candidates," the statement said, and went on:
    This is an intolerable insult and mockery of the south Koreans as it has brought into bolder relief the extreme arrogance of the U.S. as a colonial ruler who has held sway over the south Korean politicaldom as it pleased.
    South Korea is the only place where presidential hopefuls have to visit the U.S. to get "verified" by it.
    The GNP launched a malignant smear campaign against the DPRK, describing its reference to the "presidential elections" in south Korea as an interference in its internal affairs despite the fact that they are related to the country's peace and reunification and national reconciliation and unity. Irony is that this party feigns ignorance of the U.S. blatant interference in the internal affairs of south Korea.
    This clearly proves once again the pro-U.S. sycophantic and traitorous nature of the GNP.
    The U.S. had better stop at once domination and interference in the internal affairs of south Korea, clearly understanding all the Koreans' desire for independence and facing up to the trend of the times.

   Pyongyang, February 12 (KCNA) -- General Secretary Kim Jong Il received a greeting card, a gift and a floral basket from Sazhi Umalatova, chairperson of the Party for Peace and Unity of Russia, on the occasion of the February holiday.
    They were conveyed to the DPRK ambassador to Russia by her last Wednesday.
    He also received a gift from the mayor of Robnya City in the Region of Moscow and a congratulatory message and a gift from the president of the Far East Federal District Boxing Federation.

More and More People Visit Sacred Place of Revolution

   Pyongyang, February 12 (KCNA) -- An increasing number of people are visiting the Secret Camp on Mt. Paektu with the approach of the February holiday (the birthday of Kim Jong Il) in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
    Seen among them are servicepersons who are safeguarding the country like an impregnable fortress, Party members and working people who are making a new leap forward in various sectors for the building of a rich and powerful nation and school children and youth.
    The Secret Camp on Mt. Paektu which was built by President Kim Il Sung as a center for leading the Korean revolution in the latter half of the 1930s is a secret base used by the main unit of the Korean People's Revolutionary Army. It is also a revolutionary sacred place where Kim Jong Il was born.
    Since it was restored to the original state and opened to the public on February 11, Juche 76 (1987), millions of Korean people at home and abroad and foreigners have visited there.
    There are a log cabin for the headquarters where the President worked, a log cabin where Kim Jong Il was born and spent his childhood and others in the camp.
    The visitors to the native home in the camp are making their mind to remain faithful to the Songun revolutionary leadership of Kim Jong Il, son of the guerrillas, looking back on his undying exploits performed for the nation, revolution, times and history.
    Seeing the monument on which the "Poem in Praise of the Bright Star" written by the President on the occasion of the 50th birthday of leader Kim Jong Il is engraved and the highly rising Jong Il Peak, they are convinced that as it is led by the peerlessly great man, the country will continue to thrive as a paradise of the people.
    Overseas Koreans and foreigners, making round of trees bearing slogans written by anti-Japanese guerrillas, sites of tents and campfire and many other revolutionary relics, say in unison that the Secret Camp on Mt. Paektu associated with revolutionary activities of the three generals of Mt. Paektu will shine long as the sacred place of the Korean revolution.


Field Guidance, Devotion to People

   Pyongyang, February 12 (KCNA) -- General Secretary Kim Jong Il provided on-site guidance to several units in North Hamgyong Province, with the February holiday drawing near.
    Upon hearing the news, the entire Korean people are deepening their reverence for him, who is making indefatigable efforts to build a great, prosperous and powerful nation.
    He, finding himself worth living in the work for the prosperity of the country and the happiness of the people, continues his inspection tour of army units and field guidance to economic sectors. In January alone he gave field guidance to various units in Pyongyang and Jagang and North Phyongan Provinces following his inspection of KPA units.
    At the renovated East Pyongyang Grand Theatre, he expressed his great satisfaction over the fact that the theatre was reconstructed as a wonderful art center. Making a round of the Huichon Ceramic Factory, he instructed the producers to pour their wisdom and sincerity into each product with a high degree of consciousness that they serve the people.
    Just as President Kim Il Sung dedicated his whole life to traveling a lot to mix with the people, he is seeing in and out days on the road of field guidance to lead the great Songun era.
    Shouldering the destiny of the country and people, he has visited lots of army units, factories and rural communities, crossing over high and steep mountains including Mt. Osong and Chol and Rangrim Passes over the last ten-odd years.
    In those days, so many anecdotes telling his frugal life have been created to move the people. Thanks to his long Songun tour, the defence capacity of the country has been increased as never before and the dawn of the great, prosperous powerful nation has broken.

   Pyongyang, February 12 (KCNA) -- General Secretary Kim Jong Il received a floral basket and a congratulatory letter from the officials in charge of cultural and friendly relations of foreign embassies here on the occasion of his birthday.
    The basket and letter were conveyed to an official concerned on Monday by Esmaeil Babaei Ragheb, second secretary of the Iranian embassy, on behalf of the officials.


Oath-Taking Rally Held in Secret Camp in Mt. Paektu

   Samjiyon, February 12 (KCNA) -- An oath-taking rally to celebrate February 16 took place with splendor in the secret camp in Mt. Paektu, the holy place of the sun, on Monday.
    Present there were senior party, army and state officials, members of the Cabinet, leading officials of the party and military organs and working people's organizations, servicepersons, members of the June 18 Construction Shock-Brigade and working people in Ryanggang Province.
    Speeches were made there.
    Choe Thae Bok, alternate member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea and secretary of its Central Committee, addressing the rally, said that thanks to the historic day when Kim Jong Il was born as a bright star over Mt. Paektu Juche Korea could greet the present with a high pride and have a rosy future. The WPK has demonstrated its dignity as a great guiding force of the Songun revolution, he added.
    He called upon all officials and other party members to devotedly defend Kim Jong Il with a transparent revolutionary outlook on the leader and develop the glorious WPK into the eternal party of President Kim Il Sung.
    Vice Marshal of the Korean People's Army Kim Il Chol, member of the National Defence Commission of the DPRK and minister of the People's Armed Forces, said that the birth of Kim Jong Il was the nation's great event as it promised a bright future of the cause of Juche.
    He underscored the need to thoroughly establish the revolutionary commanding system of Kim Jong Il and dye the whole army with the Songun idea and thus eternally add shine to the glorious history and tradition of the elite revolutionary army which has won victory after victory under the leadership of the three generals of Mt. Paektu.
    Kim Kyong Ho, first secretary of the Central Committee of the Kim Il Sung Socialist Youth League, said that Kim Jong Il is a symbol of all victories and glory of the Korean youth, adding that they would single-mindedly uphold his Songun politics and firmly defend socialism of Korean-style centred around the people.

Suppression of Koreans in Japan under Fire in S. Korea

   Pyongyang, February 12 (KCNA) -- The Youth and Students Solidarity for Implementing the June 15 Joint Declaration in south Korea reportedly released a statement titled "The Japanese authorities and right-wing forces, stop at once suppression of Koreans in Japan" on Feb. 8.
    The statement noted that on Jan. 28 the Japanese police authorities illegally searched offices of the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan (Chongryon) and houses of Koreans in Japan and even a primary school and walked away an official of Chongryon and a Korean businessman.
    The statement went on:
    Japan is inciting the anti-DPRK confrontation and intensifying the suppression of Chongryon and Koreans in Japan under the pretext of the DPRK's access to nuclear deterrent for self-defence. But, such actions are evidently intended to revive militarism.
    We, youth and students, will launch a fierce struggle, mindful that the Japanese authorities' crackdown upon Korean residents in Japan is immediately the suppression of the Korean nation and it is mainly designed to realize Japan's ambition for reinvasion of the Korean Peninsula and revive militarism.
    The statement demanded that the Japanese authorities stop such improper suppression at once.


Legislation for Settlement of "Comfort Women" Issue Demanded in Japan

   Pyongyang, February 12 (KCNA) -- Members of the "Society Demanding Legislation for Settlement of Comfort Women Issue" in Japan reportedly held the 103rd Wednesday Meeting in Tokyo in demand of the enactment of a law for the settlement of the issue of "comfort women" drafted for the imperial Japanese army.
    Speakers at the meeting said they fully sympathize with the Korean women and the international community denouncing the sexual crimes committed by the imperial Japanese army in the past and the Japanese women would turn out vigorously in the struggle for the settlement of the "comfort women" issue, transcending national differences.
    Apology and compensation by the Japanese government for the brutalities committed by the Japanese army in the past must not fail to be made, they said. They stressed that the Japanese Diet should pass a law for the settlement of the "comfort women" issue so as to satisfy the grudges rankling deeply in the hearts of the women of Korea and other Asian countries.
    After the meeting they staged a silent demonstration.

Rodong Sinmun apoya la lucha del pueblo surcoreano contra el TLC

   Pyongyang, 12 de febrero (ATCC) -- La lucha de la poblacion surcoreana contra la concertacion del "Tratado de Libre Comercio" (TLC) con Estados Unidos muestra su firme voluntad de salvaguardar la dignidad e intereses de la nacion y defender el derecho a la existencia frente a la agresion economica de las fuerzas extranjeras.
    En un comentario individual difundido este lunes, el diario Rodong Sinmun califica que el TLC es un protocolo destructor que recrudece el dominio y la subyugacion economica sobre el Sur de Corea por parte de EE.UU y arruina la vida del pueblo al generar el desempleo, la pobreza y el caos social agravando la crisis economica.
    Prosigue el rotativo que EE.UU., que durante mas de 60 anos de ocupacion del suelo surcoreano, ya habia infligido insoportables desgracias y sufrimientos a los habitantes locales, intenta ahora arrebatar todos los recursos del Sur de Corea y privar a la poblacion surcoreana hasta del mas elemental derecho a la vida al imponerles ese leonino "TLC".
    Lo mas irritante del caso es que las fuerzas conservadoras proyanquis, incluyendo el "Gran Partido Nacional" enloquecido por el servilismo a Estados Unidos, pretenden malemplear la lucha del pueblo contra el "TLC" en su complot para usurpar el "poder" abogando fingidamente por la "vida del pueblo" y la "mejora economica".
    Al dejar intacto a EE.UU. que aprieta cada vez mas la horca de saqueo contra el Sur de Corea pensando que este es un sabroso bocado, el pueblo surcoreano nunca podra liberarse de desgracias y penalidades.
    Las autoridades surcoreanas deben poner fin a las negociaciones para concertar el "TLC" segun la demanda de los habitantes surcoreanos, exige Rodong Sinmun.


Liquidacion del pasado criminal es deber ineludible de Japon

   Pyongyang, 12 de febrero (ATCC) -- Hace poco, los representantes norteamericanos presentaron al congreso un proyecto de resolucion en demanda de la clara disculpa oficial del gobierno japones por sus crimenes relacionados con el problema de las "ex consoladoras sexuales" para los militares japoneses en el periodo de la Segunda Guerra Mundial.
    Esto es un reflejo de la opinion publica que demanda la liquidacion inmediata de los crimenes de Japon cometidos en el pasado.
    Asi senala el periodico Rodong Sinmun en un comentario individual del dia 12 y continua:
    Japon es el pais criminal que en el pasado ocupo ilegalmente a Corea e impuso al pueblo coreano incontables sufrimientos, desgracias y calamidades.
    Reflexionar de los errores del pasado y rectificarlos constituye una tendencia internacional de hoy.
    La imparcial opinion publica de la sociedad internacional demanda cada vez mas fuerte que el gobierno japones debe responsabilizarse de tal caso de las "ex consoladoras" y recompensarlo a nivel estatal.
    En ese sentido, resulto natural que los representantes norteamericanos presentaran el citado proyecto de resolucion.
    El pais que no asume la responsabilidad y la obligacion moral, correspondiente segun el derecho internacional, no puede recabar la confianza de la sociedad internacional. Si ese pais isleno quiere ser confiado por la sociedad internacional y vivir con conciencia limpia, debe liquidar cabalmente sus crimenes del pasado, incluyendo el problema en cuestion.
    Esto no es un simple asunto de trabajo sino la cuestion politica y moral y la del derecho internacional para librarse de los crimenes antieticos y limpiar la conciencia manchada.
    Tambien, deviene la pauta para medir que Japon tiene o no la voluntad de hacer una nueva partida tras sacar la leccion de su expediente criminal del pasado.
    Si las autoridades japonesas siguen maniobrando taimadamente para eludir la liquidacion del pasado, seran marginadas de la epoca por el repudio de la opinion publica.


Grabadas las letras de elogio a Kim Jong Il en el monte Myohyang

   Hyangsan, 11 de febrero (ATCC) -- Con motivo de la fiesta de febrero fueron grabadas en una roca natural de la entrada del monte Myohyang las letras "El genial comandante del Songun, General Kim Jong Il. El 16 de febrero del 96 de la Era Juche".
     Reflejan el unanime sentimiento de los oficiales y soldados del Ejercito Popular de Corea y el pueblo de elogiar y glorificar de generacion en generacion la noble personalidad del Dirigente, patriota y general celebre sin par junto con el precioso nombre del Sol.
    Las letras, que brillan en el monte Myohyang con paisaje unico en el mundo, son otro patrimonio nacional conmemorativo, que registra en la historia de la revolucion del Songun las inmortales hazanas del Dirigente quien con la original politica de Songun fortalecio al ejercito popular en las invencibles fuerzas armadas revolucionarias del monte Paektu y consolido el invencible poderio estatal que asegura la eterna victoria de la patria y la revolucion exaltando asi a todo el mundo la dignidad y apariencia majestuosa de Corea socialista.
    Tuvo lugar el dia 11 una ceremonia de inauguracion en el mismo lugar.
    Participaron el secretario del Comite Central del Partido del Trabajo de Corea Kim Ki Nam, y el secretario responsable del Comite del PTC en la provincia de Phyong-an del Norte Kim Phyong Hae.
    Kim Ki Nam pronuncio un discurso de apertura.


Belicistas de EE.UU. acarrean nueva guerra fria, revela Rodong Sinmun

   Pyongyang, 12 de febrero (ATCC) -- En un articulo individual publicado en su edicion de este lunes, el diario Rodong Sinmun denuncio la politica de garrote de Estados Unidos como sigue:
     La ejecucion de esta politica deviene un acto antihistorico y antipaz que contraviene a la corriente de la epoca.
     Al profesar la supuesta "construccion de Estados Unidos poderoso", la administracion Bush desarrolla desenfrenadamente sus aventureras maniobras militares para conquistar con las fuerzas armadas a todo el mundo repitiendo la politica de garrote, residuo de la era de Guerra Fria.
     Plantea el ataque preventivo nuclear como principal modo de accion militar para realizar la politica en cuestion, segun el cual completa la ubicacion de las fuerzas armadas y el sistema de mando de operacion militar. Por otra parte, incurre abiertamente en la bandidesca guerra de agresion y la intervencion militar para apoderarse de los paises independientes y los puntos estrategicos en lo militar bajo el rotulo del "antiterrorismo".
     Puesto que hoy desaparecieron en la escena internacional sus rivales a diferencia del periodo de la Guerra Fria cuando se desarrollaba una renida confrontacion militar entre los paises orientales y los occidentales, los imperialistas norteamericanos aceleran la minimizacion de los artefactos nucleares en su intento de usarlos de manera mas segura y eficiente.
     En la actualidad se torna mas complicada la situacion mundial y varios paises son arrastrados en el torbellino belico sufriendo grandes perdidas humanas y materiales debido a la imposicion de la politica norteamericana de garrote y agresion.
     Pero, este modo politico esta a punto de su bancarrota.
     Si el gobierno de Bush desata mas guerras practicando esa anacronica politica, mas critico sera el atolladero politico en que caera. Por eso, debe seguir la tendencia de la epoca hacia la paz en vez de desarrollar las freneticas maniobras de agresion y guerra considerando las fuerzas armadas como un medio omnipotente.
