Solidarity with Cuban people's just struggle expressed
Pyongyang, March 6 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun on Sunday dedicated a signed
article to the 40th anniversary
of the revolutionary slogan "Motherland or death, we will win" set forth by
Fidel Castro Ruz for the Cuban people.
Under this slogan of faith the Cuban people have smashed the U.S.'s
repeated moves of aggression,
intervention, subversion and sabotage and honorably defended the fatherland
and revolution and the socialist gains,
the paper noted, and said:
Today they are reliably defending socialism in the western hemisphere,
holding higher the slogan "Motherland
or death, socialism or death, we will win," rallied close around the
central committee of the Communist Party of
Cuba headed by Fidel Castro Ruz.
From the first day of victory in the Cuban revolution the Korean people
have invariably stood on the side of the
Cuban people and expressed firm solidarity with their just struggle to
repulse the outrageous maneuvers of the U.S.
and defend the gains of the revolution.
This position still remains unchanged.
The United States should change its Cuba policy, squarely looking at
the trend of the times towards support to
the Cuban people's indomitable will and just cause.
The just cause of the Cuban people, who are valiantly struggling under
the slogan of revolution and faith
"Motherland or death, we will win," is sure to win.
Social role of Korean women
Pyongyang, March 6 (KCNA) -- Women, a half of the population in the
DPRK, take their share in society.
They are taking an active part in state affairs with equal rights with
men and playing an important role in various
sectors of the national economy.
Women account for 20.1 percent of deputies to the power organs at all
levels.
The proportion of women in the composition of labour force of the
national economy is nearly 50 percent.
In particular, women are playing a big role in the fields of education,
culture and public health as well as
commercial circulation, public service, textile, daily necessities and food
processing.
Numerous factories, enterprises and educational and cultural
institutions are operated only by women and many
of them are working at the responsible posts.
The state provides all conditions for all the women to participate in
public life.
For example, the labour activity of women workers at the Pyongyang
Textile Combine can be seen.
The factory with a plottage of more than 703,500 square meters is a
leading textile producer of the country.
It is managed and operated by women who make up 75 percent of the total
employees.
It has nearly 20 nurseries and kindergartens, a children's ward and a
fishing pond for children. It boasts of a
sanatorium, a hospital, shops, a rice cookery and other public service
facilities.
It has more than 60 workshops for mothers of children, who enjoy
additional benefits from the state.
In February General Secretary Kim Jong Il took measures for solving the
attendance and leaving and housing
problems and supplying vegetables, meat and other non-staple food for women
workers even under the hard
economic situation. He also sent 1,140 cultural instruments including
accordions and harmonicas for their optimistic
life.
Scores of women workers became "Kim Il Sung Order" bearers, labour
heroines and merited weavers under the
infinite loving care of the party and the state.
Kim Jong Il's birthday commemorated in S. Korea
Pyongyang, March 6 (KCNA) -- The Sonamu Publishing House of South Korea
brought out a picture album
"Architecture of Pyongyang" on the occasion of the 58th birthday of General
Secretary Kim Jong Il, the
Seoul-based radio Voice of National Salvation reported.
Carried in the album are sixteen pictures of the President Kim Il Sung
and General Secretary Kim Jong Il going
round grand monumental edifices in the workers' party era.
It also contains 50 odd pictures of many edifices built in Pyongyang,
including the Grand People's Study
House, the Pyongyang Maternity Hospital, the Tower of the Juche Idea, the
Arch of Triumph and the ice rink.
Attempt of S. Korean "Intelligence Service" to edge itself
Pyongyang, March 6 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun today in a signed commentary
denounces the "Intelligence
Service" of South Korea, headquarters of anti-north, anti-reunification
operations, for trying to edge itself into the
north-south dialogue for national unity and reunification. This is a
mockery of the dialogue and an intolerable insult
to the partner of the dialogue, the commentary says, and goes on:
Gangsters of the "Intelligence Service" should not be allowed to use
the inter-Korean dialogue aimed at
promoting the national unity and achieving national reunification as a
lever in carrying out their anti-north
operations.
The whole nation is now closely watching the moves of the "Intelligence
Service," an obstacle in the way of
national unity and reunification and a wrecker of the north-south dialogue,
and urges it to draw a proper lesson from
the crimes committed by the "Agency for National Security Planning."
The north-south dialogue should not resign itself to a plaything of the
tricksters as it is aimed to achieve the
reconciliation and unity between the north and south and bring in national
reunification and prosperity in the new
century.
Peru commemorates Sun's Day
Pyongyang, March 6 (KCNA) -- A Korean photo, book and handicraft
exhibition and a film week opened in

when General Secretary President
Kim Il Sung was born.
On display at the opening ceremony place were pictures, books and
handicrafts introducing the achievements
made by the Korean people in socialist construction under the leadership of
General Secretary Kim Jong Il.
Speakers at the ceremony said that those pictures, books and
handicrafts exhibited to commemorate the birth
anniversary of President Kim Il Sung make them have a better understanding
of the developing culture of the
DPRK.
Saying that independent politics is peculiar to the mode of politics
shaped by Kim Jong Il who is creditably
carrying forward the revolutionary cause started by Kim Il Sung, they
stressed that only when the world people
follow this independent politics of the DPRK can the global peace and
security be guaranteed.
The participants saw a Korean film.

fdns denuncia asesinato de surcoreana por efectivo militar norteamericano
pyongyang, 6 de marzo (atcc) -- segun la radio "voz de salvacion
nacional" en seul, el comite central del frente
democratico nacional de sudcorea (fdns) publico el 29 de febrero una
declaracion de condena al imperdonable
asesinato perpetrado por agresor imperialista norteamericano.
el documento senala que el presente asesinato de una surcoreana por un
soldado de tropas norteamericanas no se
debe solo a su brutalidad individual y continua:
la historia de ocupacion de mas de medio siglo del sur de corea por las
tropas agresoras imperialistas
norteamericanas es la de asesinato, violacion, brutalidad y bandolerismo y
otros actos criminales.
en este lugar lleno de crimenes nuestro pueblo perdio centenares de
miles de habitantes, mayor numero que
durante una guerra entera.
los efectivos militares norteamericanos estacionados en el japon y
alemania, paises vencidos en la guerra estan
restringidos por las leyes de estos paises. pero en la tierra surcoreana
disfrutan del privilegio de jurisdiccion
extraterritorial.
la banda de kim tae jung, preconizando "aliadosanguineo" y "pais amigo"
ampara los crimenes de su amo
norteamericano, suplica la "permanencia perenne de las tropas
norteamericanas" causando asi la indignacion
vehemente.
todos, para la dignidad y el honor de la nacion, deben levantarse
resueltamente en la lucha nacional antiyanqui
por castigar severamente a los criminales militares norteamericanos,
expulsar de esta tierra a las tropas agresoras
imperialistas norteamericanas y lograr la independencia.
ee.uu. debe atender labor de su pais
pyongyang, 6 de marzo (atcc) -- el diario "rodong sinmun" en un
comentario de ayer denuncia el departamento
de estado estadounidense que en el "informe anual sobre el estado de
derechos humanos del mundo" evaluo
arbitrariamente a otros paises interviniendo en los asuntos internos de estos.
el comentario senala que los estados unidos debieran atender solo los
quehaceres de su pais y continua:
ese informe tergiversa la realidad de la rpdc como si tuviera un "grave
problema de los derechos humanos". esto
es una accion vil y descarada. ee.uu. no tiene honra ni derecho de hablar
de nuestro "problema de derechos
humanos" porque el mismo lleva en si un sinnumero de defectos al respecto.
no tiene calificacion de "juez de
derechos humanos" ni de hablar de ese asunto del otro.
ee.uu. no resulve sus graves problemas de los derechos humanos. la
amnistia internacional lo acusa de un "pais
problematico en los derechos humanos" y se propone llevarlo al banco de los
acusados.
pero ee.uu. actuando de "juez de derechos humanos" del mundo habla de
este problema. su ridiculez es insulto
y burla intolerables a la conciencia y moral de la humanidad.
ee.uu. debe poner fin a su absurda accion y atender solo los problemas
de derechos humanos de su pais y tomar
medida para el respecto.
