AUCPB STATEMENT ON DPRK FOUNDING DAY

SEPTEMBER 9, 1948 – DPRK FOUNDING DAY

September 9, 1948 lit up the brightest star in North-East Asia, ushering in a new, socialist state, point out to the countries of the third world a practical way of fighting for their independence, for the legitimate right of every people to self-determination of their historical development.

The founding of the DPRK has become a landmark in the history of the Korean nation, the beginning of the implementation of autonomy and independence of the Korean state, created for the benefit of the working man, for the benefit of his real interests and improving the lives of ordinary people. After Korea's liberation from Japanese colonial rule in 1945 under the leadership of the Great Commander Comrade Kim Il Sung, the Great Leader had done a great job in the direction of unification of the Korean nation, divided geographically into two parts, with the Americans occupying south Korea in the final period of World War II and had refused to leave the territory of the Korean Peninsula after its ending. Unfortunately, the question of unification still remains on the agenda due to the criminal, hostile, U.S. hate policy, strongly opposing this union, contrary to the wishes and aspirations of the entire Korean people.


In the newly-born young Socialist Republic, the creation of an independent and self-sufficient economic base began. The country set its sights on the training of its own intelligentsia and scientific and technical personnel. Adopting the plan of development, tasks were set that were always successfully implemented by the heroic people of the DPRK. During the 63 years, the DPRK has become a country of universal literacy of the entire population, where one in four people have higher education, which has created a high potential of science and culture. But cadres, as we know, are everything. It is therefore not surprising that in response to continued threats, blackmail and diverse direct provocation by the U.S., the nation’s scientists and scientific and technical personnel of DPRK have established a reliable defence of peaceful labour of citizens in the form of nuclear weapons and against the threat of preemptive attack on the country from the crazy arbitrariness of the U.S.. And know matter what one says, it is the presence of the nuclear shield that is currently the only guarantee of peace in Northeast Asia and the Korean peninsula in particular.

Advances in the development of the economy, science and the growth of living standards, continually improving health care in the most remote areas from the capital, large-scale housing construction, both in urban and rural areas, speak volumes. Today,the DPRK has a highly advanced industry and agriculture. Socialism in the DPRK is very difficult to build because of the continuing U.S. interference in all affairs of the Korean Peninsula and the venality of changing South Korean puppet governments, their subordination and subservience to America. However, despite these enormous difficulties, the constant stifling economic blockade against the DPRK, the country is not only not weakened, but grown up, matured and continues to move forward confidently, and recognized by virtually all nations of the world (diplomatic relations have been established). The basis of all achievements is the heroic work of the people of the DPRK, the monolithic unity around their Leader and Party. The Armed Forces of the DPRK are the flesh and blood of the people, not only standing on vigilant guard over the gains of socialism, but also taking a very active part in its future construction. The unity of the people around the Leader and the Party has created a monolith, which no one can destroy.

It now 17 years since the death of the Great Leader, and at the helm of the country is a worthy successor of his cause, Comrade Kim Jong Il. He enjoys the great love and confidence of the people.

His re-re-election as Chairman of the DPRK National Defence Commission of September 3, 2003 indicates his services to the country and the people and his extraordinary abilities as a politician, ideologue, a wise statesman, and gifted military leader. It is no accident that people of the DPRK call him the Great KIM JONG IL.

Now, the people are preparing themselves for new labour successes to celebrate in the upcoming 2012 centenary of the Great Leader.

We congratulate the courageous and hardworking people from the DPRK on the 63rd anniversary of the founding of their Socialist state, and we wish them continuing strong and confident strides on their path to the top of a highly prosperous socialist state.

On the day of the 63 anniversary of the DPRK, congratulating the Korean people on this holiday, we sincerely wish every family happiness and every success in strengthening the might of the socialist state.

AUCPB STATEMENT ON FATHERLAND LIBERATION DAY IN THE DPRK

AUGUST 15, 1945 - DAY OF RESTORATION OF THE FATHERLAND


For twenty years there was a long tense, bitter armed struggle for the revival of enslaved by the Japanese – the Motherland of Korea. This struggle was headed, while still quite young, by Kim Il Sung. On October 17, 1926, the future great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung formed the Down with Imperialism Union (DWIU), and on May 5, 1936, he founded the League for national liberation. He formed guerrillas who attacked the Japanese, did not allow them to live in peace, permanently damaging the manpower and arming themselves with weapons captured from the them. Japan in the 1940-s of the twentieth century, did not officially go to war with the Soviet Union, but held in the Far East the largest armed force in the face of the Kwantung Army of a million, choosing the time of the attack on the USSR. Only in Korea did the Japanese during World War II, built four fortified areas, concentrating a huge amount of military equipment there.

The organized armed struggle against the Japanese began with the creation of Kim Il Sung's guerrilla groups. The guerrillas brought a lot of trouble to the Japanese. The armed struggle for the liberation of the motherland has become ever more powerful and more dangerous for the Japanese. Though of course, to fight against the heavily armed and well equipped with arms, ammunition and food regular Kwantung Army was very difficult. The victory was not achieved to easily. But so great was the hatred for the oppressors, that th guerrillas soon grew into the anti-Japanese People's Revolutionary Guerrilla Army, which later became the basis of the Korean People's Army.

The end of World War II in Europe did not mean the end of hostilities in North-East Asia. In August 8, 1945, the Soviet Union, the faithful to allies and international duty, carrying out the commitments adopted at the Teheran and Yalta conferences, today declared a state of war with Japan. On August 8, 1945 the Soviet army inflicted a devastating blow to the Japanese. On August 9, 1945, Comrade Kim Il Sung gave the order to all units for a general offensive for the liberation of the motherland. The troops, who were on the initial positions, carried out operations made according to an operational plan predetermined by Kim Il Sung.

The troops who focused on the basin of the river Tuman (border with the USSR), breaking through the border reinforced by the Japanese, liberated the border regions and captured a vast territory of Korea. The remains of the Kwantung Army, defeated the Soviet army, demoralized and fragmented, still continued to resist. But it was already the end for them. On August 15, 1945 Japan announced its unconditional surrender. Officially, the victorious military campaign of the USSR against Japan lasted 24 days.

Korea started the construction of a new life. At a rally in Pyongyang on October 14 people enthusiastically greeted Kim Il Sung.

"You could say that the people's jubilation on October 14, 1945 in Pyongyang stadium was a public evaluation and compensation for the fact that we had overcome all difficulties and hardships, fighting for the motherland and the nation for half their life. I saw it just as a reward, as an expression of love and trust of the people. I often say, where on earth can be more happiness than the love and support of the people? ..

I was so touched by this trust that people gave me, and I believe this to be the greatest happiness that I experienced in my life." Kim.Il Sung "With the Century" - memoirs.

At the heart of Pyongyang stands a great triumphal arch in honour of Fatherland Liberation Day.

We congratulate the heroic Korean people and its glorious leadership on Fatherland Liberation Day.

We wish the DPRK's complete victory over fascism today - American-Zionist Nazism.

Such people as a nation as the DPRK will never be beaten!

JULY 27 DPRK CELEBRATES VICTORY

ON JULY 27 THE DPRK CELEBRATES VICTORY IN THE FATHERLAND LIBERATION WAR AGAINST THE ARMED AGGRESSION OF THE USA (JUNE 25, 1950 - JULY 27, 1953)


On June 25, 1950, the U.S. committed armed aggression against the newly-born DPRK (1948), hoping to destroy this country and turn the entire Korean peninsula into a bridgehead for the conquest of East Asia. But quite unexpectedly the U.S. was met by a so dignified and stubborn resistance by the DPRK that their, "blitzkrieg" intended to last a week became for the U.S., three years of heavy loss of life and equipment that ended in the signing of "truce" on July 27, 1953. For the first time in its history of military adventures, the U.S. received a powerful slap in the face. The great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung led the resistance of the people to U.S. aggression. He was always in Pyongyang, at the headquarters where he directed military operations and civilian work in the factories that produced weapons. There, in the headquarters, his son, little KIM JONG IL was oftern there watching the work of his father the Great Leader, and carefully studied the maps of military action.

Then, in the Fatherland Liberation War against the American occupiers, the entire people of Korea liberated from Japanese colonial slavery, rose up to defend their homeland. When the plant’s electricity was cut off (from the constant bombing and electrical cable breaks), people turned heavy flywheels which drove the machines by hand. Over Pyongyang, American bombers dropped such an enormous number of bombs, that they turned the city into the ashes and complete ruins. The heroism of the people on the front and rear was universal. Men and women fought to the death against the armed to the teeth American aggressors. And they achieved victory in the unequal fight! The great spirit of freedom, independence and courage of the Koreanshad won, defending the future of the Korean nation, the right to an independent, elected by the people, path of building a new, free society from exploitation. And in this victory lies the great merit of the great military leader Comrade Kim Il Sung.

Today is a very difficult time for the DPRK due to constant provocations by the U.S. who dream to destroy the freedom-loving people, and by the treachery of the Korean nation's ruling elite in South Korea, fully sold to America. The puppet government of the Republic of Korea (South Korea) is actively engaged in "intimidating" the DPRK (North Korea) by their military maneuvers near the borders of the DPRK, by falling for bribery and powerful ideological propaganda, trying to tarnish the DPRK and its leaders. But the people of the DPRK peacefully and with irony refer to such provocations, strongly believes in its leadership and is ready to carry out any order of their beloved leader - the Great Kim Jong Il.

The most painful issue for the U.S. now is the possession by the DPRK of it own nuclear weapon created by the genius of Korean scientists and engineers. The DPRK is now reliably protected from a possible pre-emptive strike by the United States, which earlier constantly threatened the DPRK. Therefore, discussions about the resumption of six-party talks, which were devoted to at meetings in July in Bali (Indonesia), is, it seems to us, an old song by the United States to force the DPRK and its leadership under any pretext and various false promises from the U.S. into rejecting nuclear weapons.

In recent history, there have been many examples that prove that a lack of a nuclear shield by a number of sovereign states ended in the destruction of their own independence and demise, accompanied by the physical extermination of the civilian population in these countries by the United States aggressor. The real U.S. attitude towards the DPRK has been well known the across the world over the past 60 years. "Goodwill" by the U.S. is similar to the "goodwill" of the wolf in Krylov's fable "The Wolf in the dog kennel," namely, when the predator, mistaking the fold, comes to the kennel and being pushed into a corner, vows not to kill, but to protect the sheep, for which he was answered: -

You're gray, but I, my friend, am grey,

And your wolfy nature, I know long ago;

So my custom:

With the wolves is not to make peace,

As taking the skin off them.

And then he released the pack of hounds on the Wolf. This Krylov fable was written in 1812 (during Russia’s war with Napoleon). The fable was immediately sent to the army of Kutuzov ... The Russian general treated the French as the hound did in the fable of Krylov ...

We sincerely wish the heroic people of the DPRK success in building a prosperous socialist state and solving in the near future complex problems associated with unifying the Korean nation into a united Democratic Confederal Republic of Koryo on the scenario developed by the DPRK with the partcipation of the Great Leader Comrade Kim Il Sung and later updated by Great Kim Jong Il .

We wish the DPRK complete victory over modern fascism - US Nazism-Zionism.

Such people as the people of the DPRK, can never be beaten!

Deep reverence of progressive mankind for him is evidenced by the number of the visitors to the Kumsusan Memorial Palace, it added.

The DPRK is now waging a dynamic drive to build a thriving nation, rallied close around Kim Jong Il, it noted, adding:

We sincerely wish the Korean people greater successes in their efforts to build a thriving socialist nation and reunify the country.

KIM IL SUNG MEMORIAL DAY

JULY 8, 1994 - COMRADE KIM IL SUNG MEMORIAL DAY - THE GREAT LEADER OF THE KOREAN PEOPLE, FATHER OF THE NATION, THE ETERNAL PRESIDENT OF THE DPRK, SUPREME COMMANDER, GENERAL-SECRETARY OF THE WORKERS’ PARTY OF KOREA (WPK) UNTIL JULY 1994.


Great Leader Comrade Kim Il Sung went down in history as the liberator of the Korean nation from Japanese colonial rule, as the savior of her great ancient - five thousand years of history and culture, that according to a plan the Japanese invaders had to put an end to in the twentieth century. Japanese eroded the Korean people from everything that was national, prohibited the carrying out of national customs, the use of native Korean language, making the Korean people their slaves. In his early teenage years, Comrade Kim Il Sung embarked on the path of revolutionary struggle and vowed to free the Korean people from Japanese oppressors. By organizing the armed guerrilla groups and intense heavy anti-Japanese struggle, he created a revolutionary people's army, which became the basis of the Korean People's Army - a powerful defender of his country and an active builder of a prosperous Korean socialist state.

The Day of July 8 in the DPRK is not a day of mourning. Rather it is a day of boundless expression of gratitude and respect to the people’s beloved Great Leader - Comrade Kim Il Sung, who as Great Kim Jong Il says, "always live with us!". And the memorial Kymsusansky palace, where the sarcophagus with the body of the Great Leader lies, not a mausoleum in the usual sense, but a hymn of eternal glory of a great man, a hard worker who discovered the path of light for the Korean nation of an independent life. Kymsusansky Palace is a hymn to the triumph of life over death, a symbol of strength and greatness of the Korean spirit, because the idea of the Great Leader today is fully implemented by the talented successor of his cause, Great KIM JONG IL.

How great the respect is for the memory of the Great Leader can be judged by who visits the Kumsusan Memorial Palace, and lots of people visit, not just Koreans but foreigners also, where they are personally acquainted with the multifaceted activities of Kim Il Sung, they see a huge number of state awards, which was awarded this great, simple and very humble man. Today's Korea is the implementation of the covenants of Kim Il Sung. This is great housing, excellent sports palaces, palaces, sciences, arts, theatres, modern libraries, monumental buildings, a beautiful environment in urban areas, cleanliness and order everywhere, trees and flower beds in the cities - this is the appearance of modern DPRK. The capital of the DPRK, Pyongyang, is one of the most beautiful cities in the world with beautiful environment, which none of the capitals of Europe can be proud of. People in the DPRK live in peace, having confidence in the future secured by the state, enjoying free medical care at modern levels of health development and achievements. There are no problems with comfortable accommodation for every Korean. Everyone is entitled to state-guaranteed free secondary and higher education. The system of free preschool is well-developed. A lot of attention and care is given by the state to health, safety and lives of mothers. Taxes in Korea do exist. The problem of its own food supply in a country where 80% of the area is rock and unsuitable for agriculture is almost solved. The DPRK is now a country with a developed economy and energy, able to decide for itself all questions of life support in a state of prolonged economic blockade. The Korean People's Army (KPA) equipped with modern weaponry, including nuclear, safe guards the peaceful labour of DPRK citizens.

Kim Il Sung was a man from the depths of the people, and therefore his whole life was connected with the people. He constantly travelled around the country, visited the most remote villages and towns, and therefore knew and felt the people, their concerns and aspirations. People paid him with sincere love and boundless confidence. Kim Il Sung gave a lot of time and effort in addressing the issue of reunification of the divided Korean nation by the U.S. invaders. He had created a lot of different projects for reunification, one of which was the creation of the Democratic Confederal Republic of Koryo. Crazy U.S. opposition to address this issue remains to this day, the US, which was first defeated by small freedom-loving socialist DPRK during the Korean War 1950-1953. U.S. ambitions are pushing them to new and emerging crimes and provocations against the DPRK. But the country, merged into the ideology of Juche and Songun politics, for more than 60 years under a gruelling inhuman economic blockade caused by the will of the U.S., stands firm and today, rallying around their leader - the Great Kim Jong Il, stands as an impregnable bastion of the North-East Asia , restraining the U.S. attempts to ignite the fire of a new world war in this region. The people of the DPRK are steadily building their own prosperous state, in spite of the U.S., and despite the pressure on it from the entire imperialist world.

Lee Myung Bak Group Can Never Evade Responsibility for Bringing Inter-Korean Relations to Collapse: Spokesman for NDC

Pyongyang, June 1 (KCNA) -- The Lee Myung Bak group of traitors on May 19 let a guy claiming to be a spokesman for Chongwadae spread rumor that the "true intention" reflected in Lee's "Berlin proposal" was conveyed to the DPRK side at a secret contact made between the north and the south of Korea in Beijing recently. A spokesman for the DPRK National Defence Commission Wednesday gave the following answer to a question put by KCNA as regards this:

The above-said group is master hands at fabrications as they cook up lies and deny what they have done and hooligans who renege on the promises made to the nation like a pair of old shoes.


This is clearly evidenced by the "Cheonan" sinking case and Yonphyong Island shelling case.


It is a sheer lie that at the Beijing secret contact the south side briefed the DPRK side on the "real intention" reflected in the "Berlin proposal" made by traitor Lee.


Now that the Lee group let the spokesman for Chongwadae open to public the above-mentioned secret contact first on the basis of fabrications and is busy floating nonsensical stories, the DPRK side has no option but to clarify it as it happened.


Finding it hard to evade the responsibility for having driven the inter-Korean relations to catastrophe, the Lee group was aware that the crisis in the closing period of its rule might further deepen due to the situation. Hence, entering April the group made repeated requests to "hold a secret contact for the 'summit talks,' saying it would no more talk about 'Cheonan' warship sinking case and Yonphyong Island shelling case."


And it made poor excuses that what matters is that Lee's "policy towards the north" is "misunderstood" by the north and the south, in fact, stands for the improvement of the north-south relations.


Kim Chon Sik, chief of the policy room of the puppet ministry of unification, Hong Chang Hwa, director of the intelligence service, and Kim Thae Hyo, senior presidential secretary for foreign strategy of secretariat of Chongwadae, and others came out to the venue of the secret contact that started on May 9. They, however, began playing jugglery to wrest apology from the DPRK side, asserting that the above-said cases were "mountains to be crossed with wisdom" for the improvement of the south-north relations. This was a breach of the promise made to the DPRK side earlier.


When it declared that it was preposterous to say the word "apology" over the cases with which it had nothing to do and just measures for self-defence, they asked it to put forth "a compromise proposal" to be declared before the world, the proposal which cannot be interpreted as apology, when viewed by the north side but as apology when viewed by the south side. They implored the north to "make a little concession".


When the DPRK side told them to go back to Seoul at once, saying it is not necessary to discuss the issue of the summit talks in which unreasonable "apology" raised as a pre-condition, they tried hard to keep the contact going on at any cost, saying that it would not be long before Lee Myung Bak's tenure of office would end, the present authorities are hard pressed for time and it is more favorable to push forward the inter-Korean relations by joining hands with the conservative forces, in stead of doing so with the progressive forces.


Noting that a program for all events for the opening of the "summit talks" has already been worked out, they said that depending on the settlement of the issues of the two cases, they expected to open ministerial talks for the "summit talks" late in May to announce agreed points, hold the first round of the "summit talks” in Panmunjom late in June, the second one in Pyongyang two months later and the third round of the "summit talks" during the summit for nuclear security slated to take place in March next year. They earnestly begged the DPRK side to take this embarrassing situation into consideration.


When the DPRK side clarified its steadfast stand that such summit talks cannot take place as long as the south side insists on the hostile policy towards the DPRK, persistently claiming that the north should "dismantle its nukes first" and calling for "an apology" for the two cases, they asked it to express at least "regret" at the two cases, proposed meeting in Malaysia again to conclude the discussion of this issue and urged it to rapidly push forward the arrangements for opening the "summit talks". They went the lengths of showing off enveloped money to lure someone but suffered shame.


The puppet group asked the DPRK side to keep secret what was said at the secret contact, saying the situation in south Korea is complicated unlike that in the north and if that is known to the south, it will entail adverse consequences. They repeatedly asked the north side to keep secret the accounts of the contact as nobody knows about this except Hyon In Thaek, minister of Unification, the director of the intelligence service and the presidential secretary-general who looked after the secret contact at the personal instruction of "President" Lee and those sent to Beijing for the contact.


It was these guys who first opened to the public the misrepresented accounts of the secret Beijing contact in an attempt to propagandize the "justice" of the "Berlin proposal."


This is the whole story about the secret contact that the spokesman for Chongwadae claimed the real intention reflected in the proposal was conveyed to the north before and after May 19.


Had the Lee group have the true intention to improve the north-south relations, it should not have let loose such reckless remarks as what it called "Berlin proposal" and refrained from perpetrating such perfidy as opening to the public the misrepresented accounts of the secret contact.


All facts glaringly show what desperate efforts the Lee is making to shirk the responsibility for having driven the north-south relations to collapse in the closing period of its rule.


For all his desperate efforts the traitor cannot evade the responsibility for the crimes committed against the nation and reunification for three years in power.


The DPRK will make every possible effort to ensure peace, reunification and stability on the Korean Peninsula but it will no longer deal with the Lee Myung Bak group of traitors which meanly behaves, uttering incoherent words to achieve its sinister political aim.

79-th Anniversary of the KPA

ON APRIL 25, THE DPRK CELEBRATED THE 79-th ANNIVERSARY OF THE FOUNDING OF THE KOREAN PEOPLE'S ARMY

On April 25, the DPRK celebrated the 79-th anniversary of the founding of the Korean People's Army.

The KPA was formed by the great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung during the 15-year armed guerrilla struggle against Japanese colonial rule in Korea. On August 15, 1945, the KPA as liberator from the Japanese yoke was triumphantly greeted by the people of Pyongyang. During the Fatherland Liberation War, 1950-1953, the KPA defeated the American invaders. Today the KPA, armed with sophisticated weapons, including nuclear, is as united as never before around the Supreme Commander Comrade KIM JONG IL, is monolithic in unity of the people and leader, vigilantly standing guard over peace in Northeast Asia, not allowing for the development of an explosive situation in this region despite fierce efforts by the U.S. and their puppets - the South Korean government to set fire to the wick of a new world war.

We congratulate the glorious Armed Forces of the DPRK headed by the great leader Kim Jong Il on this landmark date, and we wish also to stand firmly in the face of the heavily armed U.S. agents provocateurs of a new world war.

US WAR DRILLS BLASTED

KCNA Warns US-S. Korea of Serious Consequences of Their Saber-rattling


Pyongyang, March 3 (KCNA) -- The situation prevailing on the Korean Peninsula is reminiscent of the eve of war due to Key Resolve and Foal Eagle joint military exercises kicked off by the U.S. and the south Korean puppet forces.
The on-going saber-rattling is arousing deep concern at home and abroad as it is the maneuver for a nuclear war with their huge offensive means involved. It was kicked off under the U.S. scenario for a war of aggression against the DPRK to swallow up the whole of the Korean Peninsula by force of arms in order to put pressure on the East of the Asian continent.
It is obviously actual maneuvers for a nuclear war to invade the DPRK in their offensive nature and scale.
These maneuvers put main emphasis on drills for "eliminating and acquiring WMDs through surprise preemptive strike at the DPRK and the operation to cope with the "contingency" and they are larger in scale.
Participating in these exercises are hundreds of personnel of the 20th Support Command present in the U.S., a unit tasked to rapidly cope with, detect and eliminate WMDs, etc. And naval operation groups including U.S. aircraft carrier and strike flying corps including strategic bombers are getting frantic with maneuvers in the seas and sky.
The south Korean puppet Defense Ministry blustered that the large-scale U.S. reinforcements are involved in the military exercises as they are needed for occupying the north. This fully reveals their aggressive nature.
Nevertheless, the U.S. and the south Korean puppet forces are describing the saber-rattling as an annual and usual one for defense. This is shameless rhetoric to cover up the true nature of their maneuvers for a war of aggression against the DPRK.
Those who threw a stumbling block in the way of achieving peace and security on the Korean Peninsula and the region by kicking off the dangerous war maneuvers will have to pay a very high price for them.
Those who like to play with fire are bound to perish therein.

KCNA Denounces US-S. Korea Joint Exercises


Pyongyang, February 28 (KCNA) -- The U.S. imperialists and south Korean puppet warmongers Monday started joint military exercises for aggression Key Resolve and Foal Eagle across south Korea.
Huge armed troops of the U.S. forces and south Korean puppet army are combat-ready and groups for naval operations including a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier are deployed in the waters off south Korea. Strike flying corps including strategic bombers are ready to go into action.
This is another grave move taken by the U.S. and the south Korean puppet forces to escalate the confrontation with the DPRK and ignite a war, opposed to the peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula.
Herein lies a true aim sought by the group of traitors in south Korea in deliberately torpedoing the preliminary talks for opening the north-south high-level military talks arranged with much effort to defuse the military tension on the Korean Peninsula.
As already known, south Korea has consistently responded with ceaseless frantic war exercises targeted against the DPRK to the proposal for opening wide-ranging dialogue between the north and the south made in the joint statement of the government, political parties and organizations of the DPRK.
The day following the publication of the statement the Air Operation Command of the south Korean puppet army let gun-ships fly in the sky above Yangphyong area of Kyonggi Province and fire machine guns and missiles, kicking up a war atmosphere. The 5th Infantry Division of the army, a brigade for special warfare of the navy, the 103rd fighter squadron under the 8th combat flying corps of the air force, etc. of south Korea staged field tactical drills, exercises for naval infiltration, dropping bombs and strafing with offensive war equipment involved.
Whenever the U.S.-south Korea joint military exercises were staged around the Korean Peninsula, the U.S. blustered that the nuclear-powered carrier George Washington would be dispatched there and it was necessary to cope with somebody's "local war."
This is a blatant challenge and perfidy to the DPRK which has made ceaseless efforts and showed magnanimity to ensure dialogue and peaceful environment on the peninsula.
Key Resolve and Foal Eagle are bound to drive the north-south relations to more serious catastrophe and increase the danger of war on the peninsula.
The army and people of the DPRK will counter with their own-style strike method against those who dare challenge its dignified socialist system through their adventurous joint saber-rattling.

Workers in North and South of Korea Publish Peace Declaration


Pyongyang, February 28 (KCNA) -- The Central Committee of the General Federation of Trade Unions of Korea and the Federation of Trade Unions and the Confederation of Trade Unions of south Korea issued a peace declaration of the workers in the north and the south of Korea Monday.
The declaration expressed concern about the touch-and-go situation prevailing on the Korean Peninsula. It urged the U.S. and the south Korean authorities to immediately halt the Key Resolve and Foal Eagle joint military exercises.
The north proposed wide-ranging dialogue and negotiations between the two sides. But the military authorities of south Korea kicked off the big maneuvers while calling for taking countermeasure against it, the declaration said. This is aimed to justify the military exercises, it added.
The exercises are a planned provocation to push the north-south relations to the brink of a war and they also reveal an intention to maintain the confrontation policy, the declaration said, adding:
All the Koreans are calling for negotiated settlement to all the issues amid the mounting danger of a war on the Korean Peninsula.
The south Korean authorities should promptly come out for dialogue and negotiations with the north, though belatedly, from a sincere stand for peace and stability of the peninsula.
Calling for active solidarity and exchanges between the workers in the north and the south, the declaration denounced the south Korean authorities for having repeatedly disallowed contacts and visits between NGOs and people of various strata and inflicted legal punishment on them.
The declaration stated that the organizations would hold colorful events including a meeting of workers in the north and the south for reunification and promote solidarity and cooperation between them.
We will wage unflinching actions against those forces standing in the way of contacts, dialogue and cooperation between the workers from the north and the south, it declared.

69th Birthday of Kim Jong Il

February 16 - Birthday of DPRK leader Kim Jong Il

On February 16, Korean people celebrate the Birthday of the General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea, Kim Jong Il - Chairman of the National Defence Committtion of the DPRK, Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces of the DPRK.

We congratulate Great Kim Jong Il on his birthday and in his name, the entire Korean people on this auspicious occasion.

The years of leadership in the DPRK by Kim Jong Il have been historically the most difficult because of the sharp aggravation of the crisis of world imperialism and attempts by the hawks in the U.S. and world governments to ignite the fire of nuclear war, where only is provided such an opportunity - anywhere in the world, because the globe is actually declared a U.S. "zone of their vital interests."

The severe economic blockade the DPRK, declared by the United States, throughout the life of a young socialist country, the despicable and heinous false propaganda of the world against the DPRK, the South Korean leaders incitement to exacerbate relations with the DPRK, to prevent reunification of the nation - all this is only a few strokes of the fierce political and diplomatic struggle that is constantly engaged by the DPRK government under the leadership of their glorious leader Kim Jong Il, who, like the fairy tale horse Chollima, skillfully overcoming all the obstacles erected in the path of of the DPRK, swiftly and confidently leading the country to a brighter future of prosperity of a socialist highly developed nation.

More than half a century of socialist construction in the DPRK clearly demonstrated that even a small country can live and thrive completely isolated from the world, relying solely on its own strength. (Russian President Medvedev can not imagine Russia without foreign props, as he stated in Mumbai (India) in December 2010. An example of building socialism in the Soviet economy on its own without the help of the West, Medvedev cannot comprehend. He seems according to passed especially recently, laws and reforms, set to the break up all that is left of socialism, even though at the expense of the remaining, of what we exist on now. The reality of modern Russia personally confirms that the activities of the Russian authorities are aimed at the destruction of Russia, rather than creation – and with the advice and the applause of the United States.)

The permanent increase in the level of public education in the DPRK and as a result - the growth of scientific and technological potential of the country (cadres decide everything!), the introduction into operation of enterprises using the latest modern technologies developed by scientists of the DPRK, a grand building of housing, the rapid development of health, development of various sectors in agriculture with only 20% of land fit for this, mining their own mineral resources, the development of metallurgy, hydropower on small rivers and much, much more evidence of self-sufficiency of resources for accelerated economic development of the DPRK and the full independence and autonomy of politics and economy of the DPRK.

The whole world held its breath, following in December the situation on the Korean peninsula, around which at the end of 2010, the United States have focused hitherto on an unknown quantity of modern naval and air forces, military exercises by provoking the DPRK to retaliatory action in the direction of a nuclear War. The world was on the brink. But the iron will, steel restraint and the highest intelligence of Great Kim Jong Il prevented the development of such a desirable scenario of action for the U.S.. In the military exercises, the United States, "intimidating the DPRK”, together with Japan and South Korea's territorial waters near the DPRK have been involved a great variety of military equipment of all arms and military units conceivable – it is a wonder how so many could even fit on such a small area of water and land.

Today, rejecting any kind of grievance, and looking at the facts of misconduct by the leadership of South Korea, the false and unproven, and refutation by facts of the charges, the DPRK, is persistently offering to resolve all issues through diplomatic channels, inviting all sides in South Korean parties and organizations to participate in joint talks. But the USA and their kept woman South Korea does not want this. South Korea demands DPRK full disarmament under the dictate of the U.S., ignoring the obvious, that the number of U.S. nuclear warheads stockpiled are thousands of times greater than available in the DPRK in service. Disarming the DPRK under present conditions means to leave the country defenseless against clashing teeth mad and crazed from blood of a predator - the United States. Everyone knows the truth: the DPRK's nuclear capability is the only true deterrent for today aggressor and thereby preservation of peace in Northeast Asia.

The New Year joint editorial in 3 major newspapers in the DPRK Korea - the party, military and youth papers- offers tremendous prospects for further development and accelerated growth of the people's welfare. 2010 was a year of beginning the era of great uplift, high enthusiasm and achievement of significant success in all sectors of the economy and national defense.

Question number one in the near future - the accelerated development of light industry and food processing to meet the increased demand of the population.

2011 is planned to be the year of a general offensive , in which will see even more powerful development of all sectors of the economy, improving people's lives and committing a decisive turning point in building a prosperous nation. And of course, the leader and mastermind of the revolutionary movement was and remains the country's leader Kim Jong Il. His motto - " We need faith in the victory to make continuous progress, to make continuous advancement and quickly bring a bright tomorrow, and a prosperous nation."

We the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks (AUCPB), wish the hardworking heroic Korean people success in achieving thr ambitious objectives of socialist construction. To Esteemed Comrade Kim Jong Il on his birthday we want to wish - good health, inexhaustible energy and great strength of spirit to defeat the intrigues and provocations of U.S. imperialism.

There is no force in the world capable of turning back the history of the DPRK! Forward Only! Towards the shining heights of a highly prosperous socialist state united nation!

CC AUCPB

On the occasion of the birthday of Kim Jong Il, to Pyongyang and addressed to the General Secretary of the WPK from the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the AUCPB Comrade Andreeeva, a congratulatory telegram has been sent.

AUCPB ON DPRK STATEMENT

STATEMENT BY THE SECRETARIAT OF THE CENTRAL COMMITTEE OF THE AUCPB
IN SUPPORT OF THE DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN POLICY OF THE DPRK


The birth of a new historically more progressive social and political order has always been associated with the bitter struggle of the old and nascent new one, with great hardships in constructing this new one, and because of the lack of historical experience of creating the new one, and because of fierce resistance and opposition from the old, outdated, but still strong system.
That is the way it was during the construction of socialism in the USSR, accompanied by a bitter struggle within the country by representatives of the exploiting class and on the external front - the desire of the imperialist states at all costs to destroy the Soviet state (the campaign of the Entente, World War I and World War II, the organization's fifth column within the country, wrecking and sabotage, huge finance thrown by the West into subversive activities inside the Soviet Union, to "buy up" unstable elements in power, etc.).
Today, the most powerful pressure on the two socialist states - the DPRK and the Republic of Cuba, is being applied by the old world, represented primarily by the evil empire - the United States. Having fattened and enriched themselves at the expense of armaments supply during World War II, America, unceremoniously looting now underdeveloped countries and third world countries, organized the recent default of the world economy, and has become an insolent monster, dictating to all states, their methods of "play" and their "rules of life", having declared the whole world the "sphere of its own vital interests."
Particularly irritating to the U.S. is the presence of the DPRK (North Korea) on the world map – a socialist country unconquered by them, the superpower United States, or in the period of American military aggression, 1950-1953 (Korean War), nor later, in spite of an organized by the United States of more than five decades of relentless economic blockade, a monstrous, malicious most powerful anti-DPRK propaganda throughout the world by the bourgeois media with the aim - through lies, distortions of facts and gross fabrications to discredit the people's life in the DPRK and its socialist system, and thereby stave off socialism of the working who are fighting for their social rights in the bourgeois capitalist world.
Then, in the Korean War 1950-1953 (the Great Fatherland Liberation War), the people of the DPRK and unbowed by the U.S., delivered a slap in the face to the U.S., which were unable to break the great spirit of heroism in the Koreans in the defence of the Fatherland. All subsequent years, the Korean people bravely and proudly with dignity continue building their bright future of a prosperous socialist nation, marking each year with new labour victories and accomplishments. The monolithic unity of the Leader, the Party and the People –is a pledge the invincibility of the DPRK. The People's Army is an active builder of socialism and a watchful guard over the impregnable borders of the Fatherland. But the U.S. could not for all the years endure their shame the first time they lost the war, could not the first time in its history, bring to its knees the freedom-loving Korean people, and this shame of a superpower can not forgive itself, trying to now by any means break or destroy this rebellious people. But the North Korea, despite the vile machinations of the U.S. and its satellites, confident in the future, and with songs, builds its own prosperous socialist state, while continuing to fight for the reunification of the Korean nation, severed by the will of the United States.
The New Year's 2011 joint editorial of the party, military and youth newspapers reveals the tremendous enthusiasm of the people who decided not only to build in the lifetime of this generation a prosperous socialist state, but also to live in it. Each year in the country's life - is a powerful leap into the future, a solution to enormous challenges in their complexity, astonishing the world community. Great plans, great things, great heroism of the life and the people!
2010 was the year of the beginning of an era of great uplift, high enthusiasm and achievement of significant success in all sectors of the economy and national defence. It is difficult to enumerate all the achievements of the past year. We note only the individual strokes of the heroic pathos of everyday life in the DPRK. This includes the mighty housing construction in urban and rural areas - hundreds of thousands of new inhabitants, and new methods of medical computer diagnosis in remote areas from the capital, and the commissioning of new power plants, and construction giants, chemical and light industries, and commissioning of plants with the latest production technology, and development of space exploration with the launch into space of a satellite, and the strengthening of defence equipment to the Armed Forces of the country with nuclear weapons, and much, much more.
The 65-year anniversary of the Workers' Party of Korea and the party conference in October, confirmed the immutability of the economic and political policies of the country, inspiring confidence in the mandatory achieving of great goals in the coming years, confirmed the national love of the people toward their great leader Comrade Kim Jong Il.
The year 2011 should become according to the party plan, the year of general offensive, when there is still more powerful development of all sectors of the economy, improving people's lives and the completing of a decisive turning point in building a prosperous nation. 2011 should be a year to build momentum in the progressive march to achieve the great upsurge. The the words of Great Kim Jong Il became the slogan of the victorious march: "We need faith in victory to make continuous progress, to make continuous progress and to quickly bring a bright tomorrow, a prosperous nation."
The great enthusiasm of the Korean people who are building their powerful socialist state, is very similar to the enthusiasm of the Soviet people of the 1930-40-s, building socialism, with their labour feats in the name of the Fatherland.
The labour heroism of the Soviet people made it possible for the Soviet Union to step in 3 Stalin decades, hundreds of years ahead in its development from impoverished and backward tsarist Russia, to become one of the superpowers of the world that built its own nuclear weapons and thus bury the attempts of the imperialists to destroy the Soviet Union after World War II, with the creation of the atomic bomb. By many indicators, we had overtaken America. The greatest heroism of the Soviet people during World War II brought the long-awaited victory, made possible by the Soviet system and the formation of new person – the Soviet person. As an example, the Soviet Union raised across the world a huge wave of national liberation movements, which led to the downfall of many of the imperialist colonial empires, to the formation of the countries of the People's Democracy and galvanized popular revolutions in many third world countries. The great achievements of the Soviet Union was due largely because the country was headed by Joseph Stalin, a wise and brilliant politician, devoted to the cause of the working class, a steel Bolshevik, a great military strategist and practitioner. Unfortunately, the war prevented the preparation of a proper succession to the generations of leaders-Bolsheviks and the coming to power of Trotskyist Nikita Khrushchev wrapped up Socialist construction and reversed it. Gorbachev completed the process of degeneration of the socialist state, abandoning socialism.
Today's powerful forward movement in the DPRK is largely due to the fact that the cause of Korean socialism, which was started by the great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung, has been successfully continued by his faithful follower, well-prepared wise politician, a deep thinker, an outstanding strategist and practitioner of socialist construction, talented leader, Great Kim Jong Il. He is constantly with the people, constantly traveling around the country to inspections, always by his own example, inspires people to labour feats. Thanks to his talent as a politician and strategist, the DPRK is still conducting its own independent policies and staunchly defending its borders from unwanted invaders.
WE, the AUCPB, fully support the internal politics of the DPRK, carried out in the interest of the people in the name of the people, for the benefit of the people, for the benefit of world peace against the instigators of a nuclear war in the face of the United States.
We closely monitor and analyze events related to the DPRK and its struggle against U.S. imperialism for peace in Northeast Asia and thus - to preserve peace on Earth. Today, the DPRK is the standard-bearer of peace throughout the world.
U.S. will not forget the slapping by the DPRK throughout the years and today, by all means is trying to get even with the DPRK for its only military defeat in U.S. history. 2010 was a year of difficult, primarily psychological tests for the people of the DPRK, when a huge American military armada, along with Japan and South Korea blocked the maritime territory of the DPRK, continually threatening a pre-emptive nuclear strike, organized so-called provocative military exercises near the border of the territorial waters of the DPRK at a distance of some 30 km from the land border of the DPRK. This presence of the American military armada in conjunction with the armed forces of South Korea and Japan is nothing but military blackmail and psychological pressure on the DPRK, inciting the DPRK to react. The DPRK withstood the pressure. The whole world breathed a sigh of relief. But hawks in the Pentagon would not let up, and continue to threaten the DPRK. The statement made in January this year in Beijing, by Defense Secretary Robert Gates that “North Korea poses a direct threat to U.S. security “(?!!), indicates the continuation of criminal intentions of the evil empire. The Pentagon confirmed the "possibility of a military response to the provocations of the DPRK, which never were, as we know, from North Korea. The provocations been carried out on direct orders from Washington, by the leadership of South Korea – the U.S. kept woman.
On January 10, North Korean social and political organizations sent personally to leaders of public and political organizations in South Korea a written notice of important proposals in the Joint Declaration of the Government, political parties and public organizations in the DPRK, on the practical measures intended to implement the first (in the statement of representative of the Committee on the Peaceful reunification), with specific dates of contacts between the two sides to normalize relations and contacts between North and South. From this it is easy to see who is muddying the waters in the relationship between the North and South.
The people's desire to live in a united country cannot be stifled by anybody. The key to that is in the constant painstaking and persistent efforts of Kim Jong Il on the reunification of Korea into a unified Confederative state.
The All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks fully supports the DPRK's peaceful foreign policy in Northeast Asia and considers the DPRK under present conditions as the standard bearer of the struggle for world peace and as a fighter for the preservation and development of human civilization.
We wish the heroic Korean people success in socialist construction under the leadership of Great Kim Jong Il, high endurance and patience as opposed to the vile provocation by the U.S. and their henchmen.

DPRK - joint New Year editorial

Pyongyang, January 1 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun, Joson Inmingun and Chongnyon Jonwi, leading newspapers of the DPRK, on Saturday carried a joint New Year editorial titled "Bring about a Decisive Turn in the Improvement of the People’s Standard of Living and the Building of a Great, Prosperous and Powerful Country by Accelerating the Development of Light Industry Once Again This Year".
Following is the full text of the joint editorial:
Today we are greeting the year 2011, a year filled with hope, a year of new prosperity, after glorifying the stirring first decade of the 21st century as a decade full of great victories.
The last was a decade when we invariably defended the ideas and cause of President Kim Il Sung, a decade full of creations and miracles when we built a solid springboard for achieving the status of a great, prosperous and powerful country. In the crucible of the complicated 21st century, our country has always stood in the limelight of the world, at the forefront of anti-imperialist independence.
Our service personnel and people, who have written a heroic epic of victory after victory under the energetic leadership of General Kim Jong Il, are full of ambition for a brighter future and confidence in sure victory.
Last year 2010 was a year of great changes, when miraculous events that provided a picture of a prosperous tomorrow took place one after another.
Our Party’s strategy of the building of a great, prosperous and powerful country is the most scientific and realistic. Our onward march of last year for a great upsurge was propelled as General Kim Jong Il had planned and intended, and came to wonderful fruition as he had visualized. Korea does what it is determined to do—this immutable truth was confirmed by the reality.
The promising future and invincibility of our Party and revolution were fully demonstrated through the grand political events of last year noteworthy in the history of our nation.
The Conference of the Workers’ Party of Korea that was convened amidst the mounting political enthusiasm of our people and the great interest of the world proved to be a major milestone in the development of our Party eternally into the party of President Kim Il Sung and in the enhancing of its leadership authority to the maximum. That the fundamental guarantee for carrying forward and accomplishing the cause of the Party, the Juche revolutionary cause, was provided is a great glory for our service personnel and people.
The celebrations held on the highest standard and in a characteristic way greeting the 65th anniversary of the founding of the Party vividly demonstrated in front of the eyes of the world the might of the single-minded unity and invincible military strength that reached a new high. Notwithstanding the complicated situation, our public sentiment remained stable on a high level, and the will of the service personnel and people to stoutly follow the long road of revolution under the leadership of the Party grew stronger. There are no party and people in the world as great as ours, which have an ever-victorious history and a highly promising future.
In the crucible of the onward march of last year for a great upsurge, a road was opened definitely for remarkably improving the people’s standard of living at an earlier date.
The Party’s call for channeling everything into improving the people’s standard of living stirred the whole country and brought about thrilling sounds of victory in all the hard-fought projects for a great upsurge. Under the wise leadership of the Party the projects for modernization were promoted dynamically in the industrial sectors related to the people’s living, such as light industry, chemical industry and metal industry, opening a bright prospect of mass-producing the Juche-based steel, fibre and fertilizer. Hundreds of major projects including the Taegyedo tideland reclamation and Ryesonggang Youth Power Station No. 2 were brought to completion, and spectacular scenes in the Songun era unfolded in various parts of the country. The establishment of foundations for realizing the ideals of a great, prosperous and powerful country we have so long desired is a precious achievement made in the onward march for a great upsurge.
Last year witnessed the spirit of Songun Korea dashing toward the world.
World-shaking, brilliant achievements were made in such fields of latest science and technology as information and nuclear technologies through the high-pitched drive to push back the frontiers of science and technology. Kim Il Sung University, Hamhung University of Chemical Engineering and other institutions of training talents were refurbished splendidly as required by the era of the knowledge-based economy. The mass-based culture and art were developed onto a new high stage, and works of art and literature with perfect ideological and artistic qualities, like the light comedy "An Echo among the Hills," were produced one after another. These are a source of great pride to our country, a socialist cultural giant. Infinitely bright is the future of our country as all the people are giving free rein to their thoughts and feelings in a bid to make their great Party and Kim Il Sung’s Korea admired by the world.
Last year was a historic year, when the outstanding leadership ability of General Kim Jong Il, who is translating his grand plan for achieving prosperity into reality, was demonstrated on the highest level.
Our drive of last year to build a thriving nation was conducted under extremely tense situation and vicious sanctions of the enemy. Our Party’s idea is that of offensive, and its mode of making revolution is also that of offensive. The will of the great General to defend the dignity of the nation to the last in any storm and stress remained steadfast, and his art of leading the whole army and all the people to a dauntless offensive was quite extraordinary and adroit.
Etched in the chronicle of General Kim Jong Il’s leadership for a great upsurge in 2010 are on-site guidance trips of forced march beyond human imagination. During the whole year from its outset, he continuously visited the battlefields for a great upsurge across the country, including the construction site of the Huichon Power Station, rousing Party organizations and officials to action and giving fullest play to the mental strength of service personnel and people. Following the great General, who continued his field guidance trips day and night, braving the biting cold and sultry weather, heavy rain and snowstorm, the harmonious whole of service personnel and people rose up, kindling raging flames of great innovations and leap forward. Two rounds of his visit to China in the limelight of the world were historic, in that they put the traditional relations of friendship between Korea and China onto a new stage and created an environment favorable for our revolution.
Our cause of building a great, prosperous and powerful country will make steady progress toward the historic milestone set up by the respected General—this is the conviction our service personnel and people etched in their hearts in the worthwhile struggle of last year. The forthcoming decades of the 21st century will continue to shine as decades of great victories of sophisticated and experienced Kim Jong Il’s style of politics.
New Year 2011 is a year of general offensive, when a radical turn should be brought about in the building of a thriving nation by kindling more fiercely the flames of great upsurge in improving the people’s standard of living.
General Kim Jong Il said:
"We should bring earlier the bright future of a thriving nation by making continuous innovations and advance, full of confidence in victory."
Our people’s struggle to put up the plate of a powerful nation at the gate of the dignified Kim Il Sung’s Korea has entered an important phase.
Next year we will be greeting the centenary of the birth of President Kim Il Sung. President Kim Il Sung is the founding-father of socialist Korea and the pioneer of the cause of building a Juche-oriented powerful nation. His lifetime instructions are tantamount to the programmes of the Party that must not be contravened to the slightest degree. We should launch an all-out, vigorous offensive for a breakthrough to realize the wish of the President to build a prosperous country, and thus greet the centenary of his birth as the greatest holiday of Kim Il Sung’s nation and a great event of humankind.
Ours are a heroic people who carry out without fail whatever they are determined to do, and an indomitable people who never mark time even for a moment in the struggle to realize their lofty ideals. The world is now witnessing what great miracles are being wrought by our service personnel and people who, full of great ambition, are rushing toward the status of a powerful country, invincible and prospering.
This year’s general offensive is a continuation of the grand onward march for improving the people’s standard of living, and its new, higher stage.
We have already made a big stride in implementing our Party’s ambitious strategy for improving the people’s standard of living. We are now faced with the urgent task to consolidate and develop the already achieved successes in order to raise the people’s standard of living to the level appropriate to a great, prosperous and powerful country. It is a steadfast stand of our Party that the improvement of the people’s standard of living should be regarded as the most important issue, the highest goal of its struggle, and carried through to the end. We should make the whole country reverberate with the echoes of continued innovation and advance, echoes of general offensive, for a bright future, when people will enjoy all kinds of blessings to their hearts′ content.
"Bring about a decisive turn in the improvement of the people’s standard of living and the building of a great, prosperous and powerful country by accelerating the development of light industry once again this year!"—this is the militant slogan we should uphold in speeding up the onward march for a great upsurge in the New Year.
Light industry is the major front in the general offensive of this year.
Now we have built up key industries and a strong force of scientists and technicians that support the revolution in light industry, and we have accumulated valuable experiences of putting light industry on the stage of upturn against all odds. To accelerate the development of light industry is a mature requirement and most pressing task for building the country into an economic giant.
Today the stand on light industry is an important matter directly related with the attitude toward the people and the Party and with the viewpoint of the revolution. We should make sure that this year, a year of light industry, the whole country seethes with efforts to give priority to and concentrate everything on the sector of light industry.
The modern light-industry factories, splendid producers of consumer goods serving as models in the new century, all of which our Party built at great cost, are precious assets for the improvement of the people’s standard of living. The sector of light industry should pay first and foremost attention to making the factories and enterprises associated with the Party’s warm care keep their production running at a high level. It should focus on the production of primary consumer goods and other necessities widely used in life, and expand and augment the overall production of other consumer goods. Respect for people and patriotism find expression in bringing about a radical improvement in the quality of consumer goods. The sector of light industry should turn out commodities that would be favoured by people, immaculate by any standard and competitive on the world market. It is also necessary to increase the kinds of consumer goods to meet people’s diverse demands and tastes.
Continuous efforts should be directed to putting the production of consumer goods on a modern, scientific basis. It is our Party’s plan to press ahead with the upgrading of light industry, not partially but in an all-round way, not on an ordinary standard but on a standard of cutting edge, and with a sight set far ahead into the future. The upgrading of light industry should be carried on effectively by employing the finish-one-by-one method. Officials and workers in this sector should steadily improve the level of their technical skills so that they can adeptly operate CNC-based and other modern equipment and meet the scientific and technological requirements in their production and business activities.
Local industry has a considerable share in the country’s output of consumer goods. Upholding the torch of a revolution in local industry General Kim Jong Il kindled in Changsong, all the people should launch a campaign to bolster up the local-industry factories across the country. It is important to follow the examples of Hoeryong and Kanggye in developing local industry as suited to one’s actual conditions and tapping all the locally available raw and other materials to run local-industry factories at full capacity.
Public and nationwide concern for light industry should be heightened. True to the Party’s policy of attaching great importance to light industry, raw and other materials, fuel and funds necessary for this sector should be provided in good time and in sufficient amounts. A great effort should be channelled into putting the production of raw and other materials on a Juche-oriented, domestic basis. The drive for August 3 consumer goods production, which is demonstrating its vitality in making a revolution in light industry, should be more vigorously conducted, and units, as many as possible, should launch a drive to markedly increase the production of daily necessities. A revolution should be brought about in commodity supply and public catering service to make the people-oriented policies of the Party pay off.
The present grand onward march for the improvement of the people’s standard of living demands that a full-scale offensive be launched in the overall economic front.
Now our Party expects the officials and working class in the vanguard sectors of the national economy, the sectors of basic industry, to become the starting fire, like the heroic working class of the Kim Chaek Iron and Steel Complex, in making the flames of the great upsurge flare up more fiercely in improving the people’s standard of living. Achieve the victory of the great upsurge with the faith, mettle and practical abilities of the Kim Chaek Iron and Steel Complex—this is a call of our Party.
Rapid increase in coal production leads to the mass-production of fertilizers, fibres, electricity and steel. The sector of coal-mining industry should concentrate effort on the coal mines with large deposits and favorable mining conditions and develop new coal fields in order to radically increase the output of coal. The whole country should assist the coal-mining sector with a sense of responsibility so as to inspire the coal-miners’ morale. The sector of electric-power industry should direct efforts to running the generating facilities at full capacity at all times, and improving and perfecting the system of power transmission and supply. The officials and working class in the sector of metal industry, while consolidating the great victory achieved in perfecting the Juche-based steel-making system, should attain without fail the high target of iron and steel production. Railway transport is the pilot of the national economy. A drive for increased transport should be more vigorously conducted to satisfy the growing, overall demand for transport by the national economy, and the whole country should turn out in upgrading railways radically.
A revolution in light industry is just a revolution in chemical industry. The renovated large-scale chemical-industry bases in the Hamhung, Namhung and Sunchon areas should put their production on a normal track, thus turning out more fibres, plastic goods, various kinds of basic chemical goods, fertilizers and agrochemicals indispensable to improving the people’s standard of living.
The agricultural front is the lifeline for solving the problem of people’s living. We should take bringing about an innovation in agricultural production as the key to giving full play to the advantages of our style of socialism and opening the gates of a thriving country. The agricultural sector should thoroughly implement the Party’s policies of seed revolution, double cropping, revolution in potato farming and soybean farming, and actively introduce advanced farming methods and techniques including organic farming. Competition should be vigorously pressed on to drastically boost unit-area grain yield by learning after the model units that are realizing with credit the Party’s far-reaching plan of rural construction. Today, our Party appeals for a revolution in aiding the countryside. Upholding the intention of the Party to solve the food problem without fail, state investment in the agricultural sector should be radically increased. All sectors and all units should give priority to the provision of materials necessary for farming in advance of farming processes.
The Songun era of great upsurge is a thrilling age, when monumental structures for people’s happiness are being set up in a way larger than ever before. The construction of the Huichon Power Station, the coal gasification project in Hungnam, the construction of 100, 000 flats in Pyongyang and other major construction projects should be accelerated to the maximum for their completion at the earliest date possible. It is essential to ensure the quality of structure on the highest level cherishing the lofty feeling of patriotism to take responsibility for the safety of the projects and guarantee their absolute quality for all eternity. Production of building materials should be radically boosted, and the work of building modern bases for building-materials production vigorously pushed ahead.
An important way to accelerate the speed of the onward march for a great upsurge in the whole of economic construction is to continue to intensify the drive of breaking through the cutting edge.
It is our Party’s idea of breaking through the cutting edge that all sectors should surpass in the shortest time the scientific and technical standards the world has reached and stand in the van of the age of knowledge-based economy, on the basis of experience of having secured supremacy in the CNC technology. It is necessary to actively learn after the Huichon Ryonha General Machine Factory which is rushing forward in the van of the drive to push back the frontiers of science and technology. The intense drive of breaking through the cutting edge should be waged not only in the machine-building industry but in all other industrial sectors and not only in central industry but in local industry. The fields of core, basic technologies and cutting-edge science and technology, including information technology, nano technology and bioengineering, should be developed radically, and science and technology brought close to production. Strong national self-respect that we will beat others in the competition of science and technology and self-confidence that we can crush the enemy’s blockade of science and technology by dint of the campaign for pushing back the frontiers of science and technology should overflow in our hearts. Scientists and technicians should vigorously wage a campaign of brains, a technological campaign, to produce research findings of great value that are conducive to the revolution in light industry and the development of the national economy, and everyone should take an active part in the mass technical innovation movement.
The principle of self-reliance should be applied thoroughly. Structures built with our own efforts and wisdom are soundly based, highly profitable and surely prospective. We should be persons strong in the spirit of self-reliance, who make a sturdy dash only in reliance on their own strength, like the Taegyedo tideland reclaimers who carried out the instructions of President Kim Il Sung despite the shortage of everything. We should develop and harness underground resources abundant in our country as much as we can to secure raw materials and funds needed for the improvement of the people’s standard of living and the building of the country into an economic giant.
Improving the economic management becomes more urgent at the moment, when the national economy is put on the trajectory of revitalization. Enterprise management should be undertaken in a scientific and profitable way and in line with the principles of the socialist economic management of our own style, and a strict discipline observed in planning, finance and labour administration in all the units.
Greater efforts should be made to spruce up the overall looks of the country as appropriate to a thriving nation.
Those who transform their sectors and units in a revolutionary way with a broad and innovative vision of looking out over the world while keeping their feet firmly planted on their own land are the genuine builders of a thriving nation. The sector of education should raise the quality of education and improve the teaching conditions and environment in line with the requirements of the IT era, so as to develop ours into a world-class country of intellectual elite. The sector of literature and the arts should ensure that many excellent works of the times which are clear in the ideological principle and political stand and are down to earth, which can serve as textbooks for socialist education, are produced. The medical workers should add further brilliance to the advantages of the socialist free medical service by rendering sincere devotion to the care for the people’s health and developing the medical science. A hot wind of sports should be raised in all parts of the country to make Songun Korea widely known as a football and sports power.
Boundless devotion to the cause of building a great, prosperous and powerful country is displayed in the undertakings to spruce up the country including land development and city management. The landscaping and afforestation should be done on a long-term basis and in a scientific way, and everyone should turn his or her native place and workplace into a socialist fairyland. Nationwide efforts should be channelled into drastically improving the roads. Cities should be designed and built in our own style as suited to the local characteristics and the global trend of development. Pyongyang, the capital of the revolution, should be built into a pollution-free city covered with verdure, into a magnificent world-class city.
A decisive guarantee for this year’s successful general onward march is in raising the Party’s leadership role in every way. This year will be the first worthwhile year since the Conference of the Workers’ Party of Korea.
The spirit of the conference is a spirit of single-hearted unity to invariably defend the centre of unity and leadership despite the passage of time, an indomitable spirit of forced march to brave a multitude of hardships and build a prosperous and powerful nation and a spirit of continuous revolution to accomplish the revolutionary cause under the leadership of the great Party. At present the building and activities of our Party should be conducted with this spirit as a starting point and be consistent with it.
The Party’s leadership system should be established more thoroughly in politics, the military, the economy and all other sectors. The entire Party should be built up into an ideologically pure entity and an organizational whole, which shares life and death with the leader to the last and into the ranks of death-defying vanguards who translate the leader’s intention into brilliant reality.
Our Party wants all its organizations to be powerful and lively organizations that lead the onward march for improving the people’s standard of living in the van. The habit of the Party organization and the administration carrying out revolutionary tasks as a harmonious whole and the principle of conducting all the economic activities in a way of doing political work should be applied thoroughly to Party work. The Party organizations should fully get acquainted with the public sentiment as required by the revolutionary mass line, intensify the work with people accordingly and deal with problems arising in the people’s living in a responsible manner.
It is our Party’s way of work to conduct ideological work more vigorously when the tasks to be tackled are huge and the enemy’s moves become more vicious. The Party organizations at all levels should undertake education in the Juche idea and Songun idea in a consistent and intensive way to make the ideological position of our style of socialism rock-firm. They should train the Party members and other working people to be stalwart revolutionaries in the Songun era who are possessed of the spirit of defending the leader unto death, the spirit of national self-respect, the spirit of self-reliance and the love of and devotion to the future. They should briskly conduct mass-based cultural and artistic activities that are very appealing and refreshing, and continue to conduct the Three-Revolution Red Flag Movement.
We should further strengthen the militant might of the People′s Army as we hold fast to our Party’s line of the Songun revolution.
At present the Juche-oriented cause of army building is making dynamic progress on a new, high stage.
The People’s Army should bring about a fresh radical turn in all military and political work by faithfully supporting the leadership of the great Songun commander Kim Jong Il this year that marks the 20th anniversary of his assumption of the KPA supreme commandership and the 15th anniversary of the launch of the movement of winning the title of O Jung Hup-led Seventh Regiment.
The People’s Army should firmly carry forward the precious tradition of absolutely trusting and following the Party and the leader and defending them unto death under the slogan "Let us defend with our very lives the Party Central Committee headed by the great Comrade Kim Jong Il!" We should establish more soundly the monolithic command system of the Supreme Commander in the whole army, and deepen the Party’s political work incessantly to defend and add brilliance forever to its revolutionary character as the army of the leader and the Party.
Today’s training is a forge that produces tomorrow’s war hero. The entire army should conduct intense combat training in an atmosphere of actual battle as required by the tense situation so as to reliably prepare all the officers and men to be all-round officers and a-match-for-a-hundred combatants who support our Party’s will of Songun by force of arms.
It is necessary to improve the command and management of units by giving priority to the strengthening of company and amply demonstrate the militant spirit and looks of the revolutionary elite army by enforcing strict military discipline. The entire army should achieve unity between officers and men and combination of military work with political work more thoroughly under the slogan that calls on it to become one comrade, and always take the lead in strengthening unity between army and people in every way. The People’s Army should remain highly alert with the Juche-oriented view of war and the fighting spirit with which to annihilate the enemy.
The spirit of the People’s Army resemblant to its great Supreme Commander is the Paektu spirit of offensive, and the mode of its counteraction of justice is the prompt, merciless and annihilatory action. It will not in the least pardon those who impair our absolute dignity and socialist system even a bit and violate our airspace, territory and waters even an inch, but discharge at any cost the historic mission it has assumed on behalf of the country and the nation with matchless arms.
When the People’s Army rushes forward holding banner as befits the main force of the revolution, the whole of society will be vibrant with life and seethe with the spirit of great upsurge. It should build monumental structures of lasting value and be a model that leads civilians with the revolutionary soldier spirit, soldier temperament and soldier culture in the major theatres of the campaign to build a great, prosperous and powerful country.
The defence industry is a source of the mightiness of Songun Korea and a reliable guarantee for the improvement of the people’s standard of living. The sector of defence industry should continue to admirably perform its mission as a pacemaker in the campaign to break through the cutting edge and a locomotive that leads the overall economy.
It is necessary to radically improve the style and way of work in line with the requirements of the new era of the Songun revolution.
"Fight and create as befit the descendants of President Kim Il Sung!"--this is our motto. We should work optimistically with lofty aims, high ideals and great courage as our President did. We should add lustre to each moment of the age of great upsurge with the indomitable disposition to perform without fail even what others say is impossible, the daring spirit of creating world-shaking things and the revolutionary way of work of doing everything perfectly so that it can bring benefits even to the coming generations.
Success in the grand onward march for improving the people’s standard of living depends on officials, the leading personnel. They should not merely support Party policies but be doers who translate them into reality and fighters who carry out the tasks assigned by the Party most excellently, most sincerely, most faithfully and most perfectly and at the risk of their lives. Like the officials of the March 5 Youth Mine, they should set ambitious, long-term goals and plan every type of work methodologically so as to revolutionize the administration of their respective units. Everyone should realize his or her beautiful ideals to the last with boundless attachment to his or her province, county, village and workplace.
The robust contingent of young people is the main force for national defence and socialist construction. Young people should display mass heroism to the full in every theatre of the campaign for the building of a great, prosperous and powerful nation, flying high the flag of Kim Il Sung Socialist Youth League. Young people in the Songun era should burn their hearts with the great ambition and passion to shoulder the heavy burden of the motherland and seize supremacy in the cutting-edge technologies.
The working people’s organizations should concentrate their efforts on ideological education for enlisting the mental strength of their members, and intensify a variety of mass movements including socialist emulation and shock-brigade movement.
Last year our nation’s movement for the country’s reunification made dynamic progress even in the face of the vicious challenges of the separatist forces inside and outside.
The 10th anniversary of the June 15 Joint Declaration and the 30th anniversary of the proposal for founding the Democratic Federal Republic of Koryo were marked significantly in the north, south and abroad, powerfully demonstrating the ardent desire of the nation for reunification. The more time passes by and the more ordeals and hardships crop up, the stronger the fellow countrymen’s will to reunify their country independently is growing.
Last year the south Korean conservative authorities revealed their true colours as the minion of war and anti-reunification, confrontation maniac. In collaboration with the outside forces they incessantly hatched anti-DPRK plots and perpetrated north-targeted war moves, scuttling the inter-Korean dialogues and national reconciliation. Their reckless and wild behavior stirred up surging indignation of the whole nation. It is entirely thanks to our Songun politics of love of the country and the nation and our persevering efforts that war was deterred in the Korean peninsula and a series of humanitarian activities were conducted between north and south even under the touch-and-go situation.
The new decade of the 21st century is the years of hope, years of reunification and prosperity, when the tragedy of national division must be brought to an end.
Today there is no more vital task than national reunification for the Korean people. The stand of attaching importance to the nation, the stand toward independent reunification, is the touchstone by which to distinguish patriotism from treachery.
This year we should launch a more determined campaign to improve inter-Korean relations and reunify the country under the slogan, "Let all Koreans in the north, south and abroad join efforts and bring a new phase of independent reunification!" Confrontation between north and south should be defused as early as possible.
The south Korean authorities should scrap the anti-reunification policy of confrontation with the fellow countrymen, which is subjected to unanimous denunciation and rejection at home and abroad, and take the road of respecting and implementing the June 15 Joint Declaration and the October 4 Declaration. They should immediately discontinue the anti-DPRK smear campaign and the crackdown on the patriotic forces aspiring after reunification, which are hindering national reconciliation and unity and which run counter to reunification.
The danger of war should be removed and peace safeguarded in the Korean peninsula.
If a war breaks out on this land, it will bring nothing but a nuclear holocaust. The entire nation should rise up as one in the sacred, just and patriotic struggle against war and for defending peace in the Korean peninsula. It is imperative to check the north-targeted war exercises and arms buildup of the bellicose forces at home and abroad that seriously threaten national security and peace. Collaboration with outside forces leads to war and national ruin. The entire nation should never tolerate the criminal moves of pro-US war hawks who stake their fate on foreign forces and drive the situation to the brink of war in collusion with them.
Dialogue and cooperation should be promoted proactively.
Active efforts should be made to create an atmosphere of dialogue and cooperation between north and south by placing the common interests of the nation above anything else. Free travel of and exchanges between people from all walks of life should be ensured and cooperation projects encouraged, to contribute to improving inter-Korean relations and to achieving reunification.
The North-South Joint Declaration is a banner of independent reunification which all the fellow countrymen should invariably hold high and a milestone of national prosperity. A rosy future will be in store for our nation when all its members in the north, south and abroad hold fast to the declaration and the ideal of By Our Nation Itself, its basic spirit, as the lifeline of the national reunification movement, and thoroughly implement it.
The developments last year witnessed in the international arena show that the imperialist high-handedness and arbitrariness cannot make sense any longer and nothing can check the current of the times moving along the road of independence. The DPRK is consistent in its stand and will to achieve peace in Northeast Asia and denuclearization of the whole of the Korean peninsula. We will, in the future, too, strive to develop relations of friendship and cooperation with countries that are friendly towards us and achieve global independence under the ideals of independence, peace and friendship.
The cause of our Party that has followed the victorious road generation after generation and century after century is now registering one victory after another with greater vigor and vitality. To review the one-hundred-year history of
Kim Il Sung’s Korea, there has been no era like today when our nation’s dignity is exalted so highly and confidence in the future is so absolute in the hearts of our people.
The gates of final victory are in sight. Our Party’s militant appeal for putting spurs after spurs to the general onward march of the revolution is a banner of great innovation to rise up to the world by jumping at one go over the stages which have been followed by others, a banner of patriotic loyalty to realize without fail in our generation President Kim Il Sung’s desire for building a thriving nation. We will staunchly advance till the day of final victory by uninterruptedly setting spurs to Chollima in the Songun era for a leap forward and general offensive.
Let us all bring about a decisive turn in the building of a great, prosperous and powerful country in high spirits, firmly rallied around the Party Central Committee headed by General Kim Jong Il.
