Kim Jong Il Gives Field Guidance to Agricultural Field in North Phyongan Province

   Pyongyang, July 9 (KCNA) -- General Secretary Kim Jong Il gave field guidance to the agricultural field in North Phyongan Province.
    The first leg of his guidance was the Unhung Co-op Farm in Thaechon County where Handre Plain, one of the nine scenic spots of Songun, is located.
    Feasting his eyes on the modern cozy houses standing in rows at the foot of a mountain, the hill at the back of the village clad in the thick verdure of fruit trees of various species and the vast expanse of fertile fields of standardized shapes, he said that he could not find any traces of patches of paddy fields and peasant houses that stood here and there among dry fields. He expressed great satisfaction over the fact that the appearance of the village changed beyond recognition in less than a decade.
    The officials and working people of the farm overfulfilled their production plan every year and, at the same time, completed so vast construction project by their own efforts, turning the village into a paradise and a socialist land of bliss in the era of the WPK, he noted, highly appreciating this as an admirable success and extending warm greetings to them.
    After learning in detail about the farm work this year, he instructed the Unhung Co-op Farm to set an example to be followed by all other farms of the country in grain production by thoroughly meeting the requirements of the Juche methods of farming and set forth the tasks to be fulfilled by the farm and ways to do so.
    He met with farmer Om Jong Sil in a field of the farm and had a cordial talk with her.
    After learning in detail about her work and life, he said it is very commendable that she has devoted herself to the agricultural production since she volunteered to work on the farm. He highly appreciated the patriotic deed of Om Jong Sil and her parents who fully supported the determination of their daughter.
    When young people in other countries are nervous about getting the right of citizenship of the capital, youth in our country unhesitatingly leave the capital city dear to them and volunteer to work in fields, coal mines and in the places to be developed, he said, adding that this is the genuine appearance of our youth who are boundlessly faithful to the party and the revolution.
    The next leg of his guidance was the Phyongbuk Pig Farm newly built in North Phyongan Province.
    After being briefed on the pig farm before a huge painting showing a panoramic view of the farm, he went round the outside and inside of the pig farm to learn in detail about the construction and management and operation of the farm.
    He was greatly satisfied to learn that North Phyongan Province successfully built a big modern pig farm with great capacity by its own efforts. He highly appreciated the feats performed by its builders and set forth the tasks to be fulfilled by the farm.
    Then he moved on to the Thaechon Youth Rabbit Breed Farm.
    He made rounds of the renovated rabbit-hutches and other places of the farm to learn in detail about the production.
    Noting that the farm was a significant farm personally established by President Kim Il Sung during the hard-fought war for the diet of the people in the province, he stressed the need to always remember the great loving care of the President and steadily increase the production of young rabbits and add luster to his leadership exploits.
    He said what is important in raising rabbits is to set up the system of breeding and supplying rabbits of good stock, take measures for ensuring the supply of feed, establish an anti-epidemic system and properly solve scientific and technical problems and proposed the tasks to be fulfilled by the farm and ways to do so.
    On the same day he acquainted himself with afforestation brisk in North Phyongan Province.
    He said that long-term plan for afforestation is seen at all factories and rural villages of the province and all the units and all the people work hard to materialize them full of enthusiasm, adding that this fact suffices to show the transparent stand and attitude of the officials and working people of the province to implement the party policies.
    If all the people promptly accept the party line and policies and work hard to implement them just as the people of the province do, the country will turn into a more beautiful paradise of the people good to live in, its mountains and fields thick with green foliage, he emphasized the need to learn from their fighting spirit and work style.
    He said the determination of the people in the province to take the lead in opening up the gate to a great prosperous powerful nation is very strong and expressed the conviction that the province would play a pioneer's role in agricultural production, too.
    He was accompanied by Chief Secretary Kim Phyong Hae of the North Phyongan Provincial Committee of the WPK.

    The rest home was built under the warm care of President Kim Il Sung who devoted his all to the happiness of the people.
    The President visited the Onpho area in April, Juche 35 (1946) and instructed officials that a cultural recreation centre should be constructed in the beautiful place for the working people.
    He went to the area scores of times since then. He chose lots for rest-home buildings, examined their blueprints down to details, worked out holiday program and took steps to preferentially solve all the problems arising in providing living conditions to the holiday-makers and in managing and operating the rest home.
    As a result, the rest home has turned into a cultural recreation centre which is greatly conducive to the improvement of the people's health and their cultural and emotional life. It is visited by quite a few working people every year.

U.S. Military Nexus with S. Korea Blasted

   Pyongyang, July 9 (KCNA) -- The U.S. is tightening its military nexus with the south Korean puppet armed forces, a proof that the U.S. has not given up its hostile policy towards the DPRK but is keen to plug south Korea deep into its strategy to establish a military domination over Northeast Asia.
    Minju Joson today observes this in a signed commentary.
    It goes on:
    The Korean Peninsula is the biggest hot spot in carrying out the U.S. strategy to dominate Northeast Asia.
    The situation on the peninsula is so dangerous that it may develop into a crisis all of a sudden.
    Exactly in this region the U.S. seeks to destroy the foundation of peace, which has been barely maintained, in other words, to upset the military equilibrium.
    It is the scenario of the U.S. military warlike forces to carry out without fail their strategy for preemptive attack on the DPRK by fully securing the military superiority of the U.S. and the south Korean puppet armed forces to the military strength of the latter, deterrent for self-defence.
    It is in pursuance of this aim that the U.S. has recently made an agreement on jointly establishing a missile defence system with the south Korean puppet government and zealously helped it in its moves.
    The denuclearization process is now making progress on the Korean Peninsula and it is hailed by the international community as it has a positive impact on the situation in Northeast Asia and the overall world situation. Obviously, the U.S. clarified its stand of hailing the measure taken by the DPRK for denuclearization, though the former's real intention is yet to be confirmed.
    It is against this backdrop that the U.S. is holding confabs to thrust its dagger into the back of its dialogue partner behind the scene. The DPRK can never remain a passive onlooker to this development.
    Gone are the days when empty talks could be made about the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
    The U.S. double-dealing tactics can never work on the DPRK and such practice will only push the above-said denuclearization process to collapse.
    If the U.S. truly stands for the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, it should behave properly to be trusted by the DPRK.
    The U.S. would be well advised to drop its hostile policy towards the DPRK at once.


Fuller Play to Koreans' Mental Power Called for

   Pyongyang, July 9 (KCNA) -- The Korean people are fully demonstrating their dignity as a people with the strongest mental power in the world. This mental power of the servicepersons and people in the DPRK is based on the Juche idea which was founded by President Kim Il Sung.
    Rodong Sinmun Wednesday says this in a by-lined article.
    It goes on:
    The Juche idea means the ideological foundation of the transparent spirit of independence cherished by the Korean people.
    The Juche idea is the most steadfast idea of independence the core of which is sovereignty.
    It was the Juche idea that helped the Korean people know about themselves as social beings and emerge new type human beings well aware of the fundamental principles governing the revolution for achieving independence and ways to do so.
    The strong national self-respect nurtured by the Juche idea serves as a driving force for working epoch-making miracles in the on-going general charge for building a great prosperous powerful nation.
    The Juche idea serves as an ideological and moral foundation of the strong unity of the Korean people.
    They are now united close around the headquarters of the revolution on the basis of the monolithic idea, faith, steadfast spirit of devotedly defending the leader and the revolutionary comradeship.
    The Juche idea serves as a fundamental source of the Korean people's conviction of sure victory and strong will.
    It was by dint of mental power that the Korean people could register epoch-making victories and create immortal heroic epic under the leadership of the Workers' Party of Korea and Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il. This mental power proves the tremendous vitality of the great Juche idea, concludes the article.


Conclusion of Agreement on Peace on Korean Peninsula Urged

   Pyongyang, July 9 (KCNA) -- Personages of different social standings in south Korea made public a 1,004-persons declaration for the conclusion of an agreement on peace on the Korean Peninsula on July 4.
    The declaration accused the U.S. of persisting in its moves to tighten the "alliance" for aggression in order to keep its forces in south Korea even after the reunification of the Korean Peninsula.
    The U.S. frantic moves to realize the "strategic flexibility" of its forces present in south Korea and its pressure upon south Korea to participate in PSI and MD are just part of the above-said moves, the declaration noted.
    If the U.S. military domination over south Korea is to be brought to an end and genuine peace is to settle on it, the Lee Myung Bak "government" should make the U.S. forces, the root cause of a war, pull out of this land and opt for scrapping the "alliance" with the U.S., removing its "nuclear umbrella" and carrying out disarmament, urged the declaration.


Lee Myung Bak Group's Unfair Policy on Religion Protested

   Pyongyang, July 9 (KCNA) -- The religious circle in south Korea stood up against the traitorous Lee Myung Bak group's unfair religious policy causing division and conflicts.
    More than 20 Buddhist organizations inaugurated the Buddhists' joint conference to put an end to an unfair religious policy.
    The organisation called a press conference in Seoul on July 3 at which it accused the Lee Myung Bak group of its unjust treatment of Buddhism.
    It recalled that Buddhist relics were desecrated at Kyonggi Women's High School recently and the Ministry of Land and Maritime Affairs deleted all famous temples from the maps used by it, a proof of an unfair religious policy being pursued under the Lee Myung Bak "government".
    It urged the Lee Myung Bak "government" to make an open apology and depose those responsible for the above-said wrong behaviors.
    It warned that it would wage all-people movement until the "government" has taken fundamental measures and carried them out.
    In another development, more than 200 chief priests of temples in North and South Kyongsang provinces held a joint press conference on July 2 at which they made public a statement denouncing the unfair treatment of religionists prevalent among officials of the "government" and demanding an immediate halt to it.


Unabated Candlelight Struggle Called for in S. Korea

   Pyongyang, July 9 (KCNA) -- A candlelight action was launched around the plaza of the Seoul City Office on July 7 under the sponsorship of the Christian Measure Council against the Import of American Beef in south Korea.
    That day religionists and citizens waged protests for several hours, braving the riot police who were mobilized to completely block the candlelight action. They held a candlelight prayer meeting there.
    The participants said that the people turned out in the candlelight action because Lee Myung Bak willfully negotiated with the U.S. on the beef import without understanding people.
    It is important to continue the candlelight action in order to make the Lee group surrender, they said, calling for the sustained candlelight action demanding total renegotiations on the beef import.

    Speeches were made at the functions.
    Bonakele Majuba, secretary of the Mfumalanga Provincial Committee of the South African Communist Party who is chairman of the South African Association of Friendship and Solidarity with Korean People, said that the President, after embarking on the road of revolution in his teens, founded the immortal Juche idea and Songun idea and applied them to the revolution and construction, paving the way for the national resurrection and firmly defending the dignity and sovereignty of socialist Korea.
    The President rendered positive support, material and moral, to the world oppressed people in their struggle for independence and the building of a new society and made an undying contribution to the human cause of independence, he added.
    Jaroslav Kafka, chairman of the Paektusan Czech-Korean Friendship Association who is chairman of the Czech Group for the Study and Materialization of the Juche Idea, highly praised Kim Il Sung for enunciating the philosophical principle that the Korean people are the master of the Korean revolution and leading the revolutionary struggle and construction to victory on its basis.
    The dean of the Socio-Political Faculty of National Autonomous University of Mexico said that even since the demise of Kim Il Sung Korean socialism has grown stronger and has been firmly defended thanks to the Songun politics pursued by Kim Jong Il.
    A message to Kim Jong Il was adopted at the function held in Thailand.

    The exploits the President performed by defeating Japanese imperialism and U.S. imperialism in one generation and firmly protecting the dignity and sovereignty of the country and the nation will be immortal, he said, and went on:

Korean People's Struggle for National Reunification Supported

   Pyongyang, July 9 (KCNA) -- The Paektusan Czech-Korean Friendship Association made public a statement fully supporting the Korean people in their struggle for national reunification on July 2 on the occasion of the month of international solidarity with the Korean people.
    The U.S. imperialists have deployed their huge aggression forces and nukes in south Korea, escalating the tension there, the statement noted, adding: The reality clearly proves that the danger of war and the unstable situation on the Korean Peninsula are attributable to the moves of the U.S. for aggression aimed at dominating the whole of Korea.
    The U.S. directly responsible for the Korean issue should give up its hostile policy towards the DPRK and make a switchover in its policy from a cooperative stand.
    The statement strongly demanded the U.S. withdraw its troops from south Korea and immediately drop its hostile policy towards the DPRK.
    The association sends full support once again to the Korean people in their efforts to achieve the independent and peaceful reunification of the country under the banner of the June 15 North-South Joint Declaration and the October 4 declaration, it stressed.
