At the talks both sides exchanged views on a series of issues of mutual concern including implementation of the agreement reached between the heads of the two countries, Korea's reunification and exchange between the two parliaments. Present at the talks were the entourage of the chairman of the DPRK Supreme People's Assembly, Pak Ui Chun, DPRK ambassador to Russia, Artur Chilingarov, deputy speaker of the Russian State Duma, and other officials concerned. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ U.S. nuclear war scenario slammed Pyongyang, March 21 (KCNA) -- Alexandr Brezhnev, representative of the Russian Union of Writers, denounced the bush group for trying to stifle the DPRK by force of arms. The U.S. assertion that if the "plan for nuclear development" of the DPRK is not checked, the world will face a great "danger" is, in fact, prompted by its intention to totally disarm the DPRK and swallow it up, he noted, and went on: The United States has developed, produced and deployed many nuclear weapons. It is keen to attack the DPRK, pulling it up over "nuclear issue" after making all preparations to mount a preemptive nuclear attack on it. The DPRK boasts singlehearted unity which is more powerful than a nuclear weapon, and has a strong army. It is a daydream for Bush to try to destroy Korean socialism even with nuclear weapons. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Most dangerous hotbed for U.S. nuclear war Pyongyang, March 21 (KCNA) -- The Korean Peninsula has become the most dangerous hotbed for a nuclear war at present due to the U.S. policy, says Rodong Sinmun today in a bylined article. The article goes on: The Bush administration is focusing its nuclear strategy on some big countries and small countries going against the grain of it and disclosing its intention to take preemptive nuclear attacks on them in the "event of emergency." What merits attention is that the U.S. designated the DPRK as a main target of its projected nuclear attack. In actuality, the U.S. imperialists attach top priority to the operations for a nuclear attack on the DPRK. The crux of the projected nuclear attack is to pose a nuclear threat to the DPRK and make a preemptive nuclear attack on it. Another reason why the Korean Peninsula is the most dangerous hotbed for a nuclear war is that nuclear weapons have been deployed in and around South Korea more massively than any other areas of the world. The U.S. arsenal has at least 20,000 nuclear warheads. More than 1,000 nuclear weapons are deployed in South Korea alone. The DPRK has always been exposed to a permanent threat of the U.S. strategic nuclear weapons. The U.S. nuclear war scenario is designed to spark a nuclear war with South Korea as a nuclear forward base and a frontline defense theatre and escalate it into a global thermo-nuclear war. The use of nukes on the Korean Peninsula is neither a hypothesis nor speculation, but an actual problem. This is evidenced by a new nuclear attack plan of the bush administration. If a nuclear war breaks out on the peninsula, Asia and the rest of the world will suffer from the nuclear holocaust. The peaceloving people all over the world should heighten vigilance against the reckless nuclear war moves of the war-thirsty bush group and hold them in check with a revolutionary offensive. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ U.S.-S. Korea joint war exercises under fire Pyongyang, March 21 (KCNA) -- The joint war exercises launched by the U.S. imperialists and the South Korean bellicose forces are dangerous maneuvers for offensive operations to invade the north as they are chiefly aimed to mount a preemptive nuclear attack on it in case of "emergency" on the Korean Peninsula, say papers here today in signed commentaries. It is the U.S. imperialists' invariable ambition to contain the DPRK by force of arms and put the whole of Korea under its control, observes Rodong Sinmun. It continues: The U.S. imperialists drew up even a scenario to mount a preemptive nuclear attack on the DPRK after deploying huge aggression forces in and around the Korean Peninsula. It is by no means a hypothesis that they seek to launch a total war against the DPRK all of a sudden while staging these joint war exercises under the simulated conditions of an actual war in the area close to the military demarcation line. The U.S., seized by war hysteria, seeks to launch a nuclear war in a bid to stifle socialism, a life and soul of the Korean people. But this only lays bare the brigandish nature of U.S. imperialism and threatens peace on the Korean Peninsula and the security of humankind. Due to this sabre-rattling of the U.S. imperialists and the south korean war hawks the nation's security is exposed to a grave threat. This situation compels the DPRK to take a corresponding option for self-defense. As the DPRK clarified more than once, it neither wants a war nor avoids it. Limitless is its option for self-defense. If the aggressors ignite a war on this land at any cost, they will face punishment unprecedented in war history and will be bound to drink a bitter cup of defeat. Minju Joson says that the DPRK values the nation's dignity and sovereignty more than anything else and, therefore, will mercilessly retaliate against those who dare encroach upon them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ _________________________________________________ KOMINFORM P.O.
