S. Korean Puppet Defence Minister's Reckless Remarks Assailed

   Pyongyang, July 24 (KCNA) -- Shortly ago, the puppet minister of Defence of south Korea at a session of the "National Assembly" openly let loose malignant and reckless remarks labeling the DPRK "biggest principal enemy."
    In this regard, the Secretariat of the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of the Fatherland released information bulletin No. 940 on Wednesday.
    It said: The above-said outbursts let loose by the puppet defence minister in the wake of the call made by the puppet chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of south Korea for "a preemptive attack" on the nuclear base of the DPRK at a confirmation hearing at the "National Assembly" in March are an unpardonable provocation to it.
    The puppet defence minister's recent balderdash cannot be construed otherwise than an undisguised treachery of going against the desire of the nation for reconciliation, unity and reunification and the trend of the times as it revealed once again the true colors of the Lee Myung Bak group which has persistently negated the June 15 joint declaration and the October 4 declaration, the bulletin noted, and went on:
    History records not a few traitors who committed shameful acts of treachery, but it does not know such confrontation-minded maniacs who have run wild, regarding compatriots as "principal enemy," as the group of sycophants and traitors in south Korea.
    The theory of "principal enemy" means the theory of confrontation and theory of war.
    The Lee Myung Bak group's reckless remarks about the "principal enemy" go to prove that their talk about "resumption of dialogue between authorities" and "sincere consultation" is nothing but sophism intended to cover up their treacherous colors and they are an open declaration of a war against the DPRK.
    Their utterances will only precipitate their disgraceful destruction as they are nothing but a foolish ploy to tide over their serious crisis through the moves for confrontation with the DPRK.
    It will never tolerate the above-mentioned reckless remarks made by the Lee Myung Bak group but more strongly react to them. The group of traitors will be held fully accountable for all the consequences to be entailed by their behavior.

KPA Highly Praised

    Minister of Defense Charles D. N. P. Namoloh who was heading the Namibian government delegation said that the DPRK has solved all issues arising in the revolution and construction on the principle of attaching importance to military affairs and giving priority to them.
    Kim Jong Il has turned the DPRK into an invincible country by decisively frustrating all moves of the imperialists with his Songun policy, he noted, adding that the reality of the DPRK proves that the Songun policy serves as an all-powerful treasured sword guaranteeing the country's prosperity and the people's happiness.
    The world people highly praise Kim Jong Il as an outstanding leader and peerlessly illustrious Songun commander.

   Pyongyang, July 24 (KCNA) -- Papers made by ancestors in the period of Koryo were noted for its excellent quality and great utility.
    Among them are snow-white and thin paekchuji absorbing ink stick well, kyonji which was called cocoon paper, achongji on which only noteworthy events and important matters were recorded, graceful kumbunji, jukyobji which was valued by coming generations and changhoji which was used as window paper in daily life.
    The Koryo-made papers had been become famous in the world for their high quality, goodness of writing and long preservation of their original color.
    People of various countries in the Middle and Near East, to say nothing of neighboring countries, came to Koryo, carrying with them rare special products to buy Koryo-made papers.

No Force Can Dampen S. Korean People's Desire for Independence

   Pyongyang, July 24 (KCNA) -- The anti-"government" struggle mounting in different parts of south Korea is a striking manifestation of its people's strong desire and firm will to put an end to the national humiliation and sufferings imposed upon them by foreign forces and traitors and attain genuine rights and dignity as an independent nation and independent human beings.
    Rodong Sinmun today observes this in a signed article.
    It goes on:
    The south Korean people's desire for independence is entirely just and, accordingly, no force can arrest their massive struggle for realizing it.
    If their desire for independence is to come true, it is necessary to put an end to the U.S. military presence in south Korea and its colonial ruling system.
    The history of the above-said occupation and domination has lasted for more than six decades. The south Korean people have not yet been freed from the yoke of colonial slavery, subject to the U.S. domination and interference, while many countries and nations in the world achieved independence, freed from the foreign forces' domination. This is unbearable humiliation for the Koreans.
    The deplorable situation created by the opening of south Korean market to American beef is a product of the U.S. arrogant and high-handed acts to force unconditional servility and submission upon the south Koreans and, at the same time, a natural outcome of the Lee group's treacherous policy. This time the U.S. forced south Korea to open its markets to American beef by using its colonial stooges who have neither elementary national conscience nor an iota of self-esteem. It is as clear as noonday that it will bring bigger misfortune and sufferings to them in the days ahead.
    With no desperate fascist suppression to turn back history can the Lee group put down the struggle of the south Korean people to terminate the foreign domination and interference, achieve independent and democratic politics and national reunification.
    Justice stands for the south Korean people struggling for independence and their just cause is sure to triumph.


Closer South-South Cooperation Called for

   Pyongyang, July 24 (KCNA) -- The present reality urgently requires developing countries to boost South-South cooperation on the principle of collective self-reliance. Rodong Sinmun Thursday says this in a signed article.
    It goes on:
    For developing countries to develop economy as required by the new century means laying a foundation for production based on modern science and technology and putting production and the quality of goods on such a high level that ensures international competitiveness. South-South cooperation provides an important and reasonable way for attaining the goal.
    What is important for developing countries in boosting economic cooperation and exchange is to bring their scope and level to a new height.
    The updating of production facilities is one of the main tasks to be carried out by developing countries to achieve economic progress in the new century.
    If developing countries actively boost cooperation and exchange on the principle of satisfying each other's needs, they can push forward the above-said updating without any help from the imperialists.
    For developing countries to boost cooperation and exchange in the field of science and technology is one of the most important matters in effecting South-South cooperation. Those countries should boost cooperation in developing and using natural resources in order to solve the problem of the things not available or insufficient in their countries through less investment.
    The imperialists are not sincere in helping developing countries in their economic development. It is the real intention of the imperialists to subjugate developing countries economically and intensify exploitation and plunder of them. For developing countries to count on the "aid" from the imperialists would lead them to a national ruin.
    Those countries should wage a creative drive to meet their new higher need and goal for development.
    The DPRK will as ever make positive efforts to boost cooperation and exchange with other developing countries on the principle of collective self-reliance.


S. Korean Prosecution's Deed Flayed

   Pyongyang, July 24 (KCNA) -- The south Korean puppet prosecution demanded prison terms of 7 years and suspension of qualification of 7 years for Yun Ki Jin, chairman of the South Headquarters of the National Alliance of Youth and Students for the Country's Reunification (Pomchonghakryon), in a trial held at the Seoul Central District Court on July 21.
    The prosecution asked for such punishment, charging that "Yun's enemy-benefiting actions have been proved in the course of eight trials and he is still acting as chairman of the South Headquarters of Pomchonghakryon, an enemy-benefiting organization, this year, too."
    Refuting the prosecution's statement on punishment, the defense counsel for Yun contended that "the north can never be an anti-state entity and Pomchonghakryon is a legitimate reunification movement body grouping youth and students organizations in the south and the north and overseas."
    At the court Yun said that he can never tolerate the reckless behavior of the security authorities branding the pure reunification movement as one for "special purpose" and "receipt of instructions".
    He condemned the security authorities' assertion that the dispatch of a delegate of the south Korean Federation of University Student Councils (Hanchongryon) to the grand reunification festival of Pomchonghakryon held in the north in 1999 was applicable to "counts of infiltration and escape" under the "National Security Law".
    He stated that the activities of the Hanchongryon delegate in the north were the same just and legitimate action as the pro-reunification events ceaselessly held by workers, peasants, students, women, men of culture and art, politicians, religionists and other people of different social standings for the past 8 years since the publication of the June 15 joint declaration.
    And he described the NSL as an anachronistic and anti-reunification evil law.
    At the end of the trial, the Measure Committee for the Release of Yun Ki Jin called a press conference, criticizing the reckless behavior of the prosecution as an anti-reunification act of going against the era of reunification.


Violation of Human Rights Condemned in S. Korea

   Pyongyang, July 24 (KCNA) -- The Teachers Union of south Korea issued a statement on July 19, urging the Lee Myung Bak "government" to immediately accept the results of the investigation made by Amnesty International (AI) into the violent crackdown upon the candlelight rallies.
    The statement noted that on July 18 the AI investigator for East Asia made public the results of the investigation made into the fascist police's violation of rights of those involved in the candlelight actions against the American beef import.
    AI has clearly defined as infringement upon human rights the police authorities' crackdown, brutal penalty, indiscriminate arrest and detention, use of water cannons and fire extinguishers, etc. against the participants in the demonstrations, it added.
    This notwithstanding, the prime minister prattled at an "emergency meeting" that "the use of water cannons is more peaceful means than any way of violent repression in other countries," the statement pointed out, adding that this reveals the impudent and violent nature of the Lee Myung Bak group.
    The statement demanded that the "government" admit and accept the investigation results.


U.S. Moves for Nuclear War under Fire

   Pyongyang, July 24 (KCNA) -- The U.S. imperialists are mulling deploying nuclear-powered carrier George Washington at Yokosuka Port, Japan till late in September under the pretext of coping with "contingency on the Korean Peninsula".
    The secretary of the U.S. Navy disclosed this in Hawaii on July 21.
    The above-said carrier, the biggest Nimitz-class nuclear-powered carrier in the U.S. Navy, will reportedly be deployed at the port to replace Kitty Hawk in supervising the military operations in the West Pacific including the Korean Peninsula.
    Meanwhile, the U.S. Air Force is now busy with war maneuvers after transferring 6 F-22 Stealth fighters to Guam from Alaska State on July 18.
    The ill-boding military moves clearly prove that the U.S. imperialists' loudmouthed "dialogue" and "peace" are nothing but sheer sophism to hide their bellicose nature.

    En este lugar el Presidente organizo y dirigio la justa lucha del ejercito y el pueblo de Corea a la victoria y manifesto al mundo la dignidad y el honor de Corea del Juche venciendo las fuerzas aliadas de los imperialistas.
    Alli se conservan el sitio donde el Presidente se fotografio luego de recibir el titulo del Mariscal de la Republica Popular Democratica de Corea, el puesto de mando y la sala de operaciones, de la Comandancia Suprema, y otros edificios historicos, el lugar donde el Presidente sostuvo charlas con los Heroes de la Republica y los combatientes ejemplares y otros.

    Al recorrer los lugares historicos donde estan impresas las huellas del Presidente Kim Il Sung quien con la destacada idea militar, estrategia y tactica habiles y la extraordinaria direccion logro la victoria historica en la guerra contra las fuerzas aliadas de los imperialistas y creo asi el gran milagro militar del siglo 20, los visitantes arden el corazon de la voluntad de hacer brillar eternamente las hazanas del Presidente para la victoria en la Guerra de Liberacion de la Patria levantando en alto el fusil de la revolucion y uniendose firmemente en torno al Dirigente Kim Jong Il.


Fiscalia titere surcoreana demanda pena de prision contra Yun Ki Jin

   Pyongyang, 24 de julio (ATCC) -- En el juicio publico efectuado el dia 21 en el tribunal local central de Seul la fiscalia titere surcoreana demando 7 anos de prision y 7 anos de suspension de calificacion contra Yun Ki Jin, presidente de la Direccion Surena de la Alianza Pannacional de Jovenes y Estudiantes por la Reunificacion de la Patria (APJERP).
    La fiscalia le aplico tal pena so pretexto de que "el caracter pro-enemigo de Yun fue probado en el proceso del juicio publico de 8 ocasiones. Sigue cumpliendo en este ano tambien el cargo del presidente de la Direccion Surena de la APJERP, entidad pro-enemiga".
    El grupo de abogados de Yun resistio a la proposicion de la fiscalia insistiendo en que "El Norte no es la entidad anti-Estatal, y en particular, la APJERP es la entidad legal del movimiento por la reunificacion compuesta de jovenes y estudiantes del Sur y el Norte de Corea y en Ultramar".
    En el tribunal Yun dijo que no puede perdonar la locura de las autoridades de seguridad publica que tildan al puro movimiento por la reunificacion del "cumplimiento del objetivo especial" y "cumplimiento de orden".
    Denuncio la conducta de las autoridades de la seguridad publica que cuestionan el envio de delegado de la "Federacion de Consejos Generales de Estudiantes Universitarios del Sur de Corea (FCGEUS)" al gran festival por la reunificacion de la APJERP efectuado en 1999 en el Norte de Corea diciendo que este se corresponde al "crimen de infiltracion y fuga" de la "Ley de Seguridad".
    Refuto que las actividades en el Norte de representante de la FCGEUS eran las justas y legales como innumerables actividades por la reunificacion que los obreros, campesinos, estudiantes, mujeres, hombres de cultura y artistas, politicos y religiosos y los demas habitantes de distintos sectores desarrollaban durante 8 anos posteriores a la publicacion de la Declaracion Conjunta del 15 de Junio.
    Senalo que de veras, la "Ley de Seguridad" es maligna ley anti-reunificacion que contraviene a la epoca.
    Terminado el juicio publico, el Comite de Medidas para la Liberacion de Yun Ki Jin, presidente de la Direccion Surena de la APJERP sostuvo una rueda de prensa para condenar la conducta de la fiscalia titere calificandola de un acto anti-reunificacion que contraviene a la epoca de la reunificacion.


Actividades deportivas nauticas en Corea

   Pyongyang, 24 de julio (ATCC) -- Adquieren auge en Corea los deportes nauticos con motivo del "ciclo de los mismos en julio y agosto".
    Ultimamente, crece cada dia mas el numero de los trabajadores, jovenes y ninos escolares que acuden a las playas y piscinas acondicionadas por doquier del pais, por ejemplo, el lugar de recreo de Majon transformado magnificamente y la piscina al aire libre de Sariwon construida nuevamente.
    La ciudad de Pyongyang, que se destaco en el pasado en la organizacion de esas actividades, impulsa este ano tambien minuciosos preparativos para la competencia del cruce del rio Taedong de los jovenes y ninos escolares.
    De otro lado, aprovechando su condicion litoral, la provincia de Kangwon hace que los practicantes de deportes nauticos fortalezcan su constitucion fisica, cultiven la firme voluntad y profundicen sus conocimientos de esta materia.
    En la provincia de Hamgyong del Sur se divulgan ampliamente los metodos de natacion entre los estudiantes universitarios y alumnos de escuelas especializadas, secundarias y primarias para formarlos como mejores nadadores.
    Mientras tanto, la provincia de Phyong-an del Norte eleva la capacidad de natacion de los habitantes al ensenarles la concepcion general del deporte nautico y organizar de diferentes maneras las competencias.
    Sucede lo mismo en otras provincias, ciudades y distritos.
    Durante el ciclo arriba mencionado, se libra en el pais una original campana publicitaria mediante los periodicos, las estaciones de radio y la TV para ampliar los conocimientos de referencia de los deportes nauticos de los trabajadores, jovenes y ninos escolares y estimularles a tomar parte activa en los mismos.


Rodong Sinmun llama a intensificar cooperacion Sur-Sur

   Pyongyang, 24 de julio (ATCC) -- La realidad de hoy urge a los paises en vias de desarrollo ampliar y desarrollar aun mas la cooperacion Sur-Sur en el principio de autoconfianza colectiva.
    Asi senala el diario Rodong Sinmun en un articulo individual divulgado este jueves y continua:
    Desarrollar la economia conforme a la exigencia del nuevo siglo significa que los paises mencionados sienten la base de produccion apoyada en la ciencia y tecnologia modernas y pongan en un nivel mas alto la produccion de los articulos y su calidad, de modo que estos adquieran la competitividad internacional. El remedio importante para resolver racionalmente este asunto es precisamente la cooperacion Sur-Sur.
    Lo mas importante para desarrollar la cooperacion y el intercambio en el plano economico entre los paises subdesarrollados es ampliar su esfera y elevar su nivel.
    La modernizacion de la produccion es uno de los problemas fundamentales que ellos deben tomar en cuenta para el desarrollo economico a la altura del nuevo siglo.
    Si ellos desarrollan de modo activo la cooperacion y el intercambio en el principio de las transacciones mutuamente beneficiosas, es del todo posible impulsar la modernizacion de los equipos de produccion sin pedir la ayuda a los imperialistas.
    Intensificar la cooperacion y el intercambio en la rama cientifica y tecnica es el asunto de mayor importancia en la cooperacion Sur-Sur.
    Ellos deben fortalecer la colaboracion en la explotacion y el uso de los recursos naturales para solucionar con la minima inversion lo que no hay o escasea en el pais.
    Los imperialistas nunca ayudan desinteresadamente el desarrollo economico de los paises en vias de desarrollo. Es decir, lo hacen para subyugar economicamente a estos paises y recrudecer la explotacion y el saqueo.
    Por lo tanto, cifrar la esperanza en la "ayuda" de los imperialistas es el camino de autodestruccion.
    Los paises en vias de desarrollo deben librar la lucha creadora proponiendose las nuevas y elevadas metas de desarrollo.
    En el fututo tambien al igual que en el pasado, la Republica Popular Democratica de Corea hara ingentes esfuerzos por ampliar y desarrollar aun mas la cooperacion y el intercambio con esos paises en el principio de autoconfianza colectiva.
