Kim Jong Il inspects University of Automation
Pyongyang, April 3 (KCNA) -- General Secretary Kim Jong Il inspected
the University of Automation on April
2.
He went round its education room, bedroom, lecture room and
entertainment and supply facilities and was
greatly satisfied to see it arranged in a cultural and sanctuary way that
befits an educational institution.
He saw materials on class and revolutionary education and stressed that
it was particularly important to intensify
class education among the new generation who has not experienced
exploitation and oppression.
He looked round an exhibition of achievements in scientific education
arranged at the university and noted with
great satisfaction that its teachers and cadets have made great
contributions to increasing the national defence power
in hearty response to the Juche-based military line of the WPK.
Then, he went to a lecture hall on military technology to learn about
details of education.
He said that experiment and practice are one of the basic ways to train
cadets into able ones possessed of useful
knowledge. He stressed that the university should teach cadets a wealth of
modern military knowledge to train them
as able commanders and experts who can successfully perform their duties in
modern warfare.
The position and role of the university are very important in
strengthening and developing the revolutionary
armed forces, he said, and set forth highly important tasks which would
serve as guidelines in the education and
management of the university.
He posed for a photograph with its teachers.
He was accompanied by KPA vice marshals Jo Myong Rok and Kim Il Chol
and other KPA general officers.
He was also accompanied by Choe Thae Bok and Kim Kuk Thae, secretaries
of the Central Committee of the
WPK, and first vice department directors of the party central committee.
Greetings to Senegalese President
Pyongyang, April 3 (KCNA) -- Kim Yong Nam, President of the presidium
of the DPRK Supreme People's
Assembly, yesterday sent a message of greetings to Abdoulaye Wade on his
presidential inauguration in Senegal and
on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of its independence.
The message extended warm congratulations to him and expressed the
belief that the good friendly and
cooperative relations between the two countries would grow stronger.
It sincerely wished the president great success in his responsible work
for national unity and prosperity of the
country.
Pyongyang-Shenyang regular air service opens
Pyongyang, April 3 (KCNA) -- The Pyongyang-Shenyang regular air service
has opened under the agreement
on air transport between the governments of the DPRK and China.
The newly opened service will promote travelers' convenience.
Kanggye spirit calls for uninterrupted advance in socialist construction
Pyongyang, April 3 (KCNA) -- The Korean people are now turning out as
one in the struggle to build a
powerful nation in the Kanggye spirit created under the wise guidance of
General Secretary Kim Jong Il, says
Rodong Sinmun today in a signed article.
The Kanggye spirit is the militant spirit the people of Kanggye created
by setting an example in self-reliance
despite difficulties during the "arduous march."
This spirit calls for most steadfastly defending socialism and bringing
about uninterrupted advance in socialist
construction, overcoming difficulties and trials.
This spirit has gripped the hearts of the popular masses and displayed
tremendous attractive power, the article
says, and goes on:
The people of Jagang Province created the Kanggye spirit by setting an
example in self-reliance despite the
imperialists' continued desperate maneuvers to isolate and stifle the DPRK.
This spirit fully proves that a people
who have risen up, believing in their own strength, never yield to
difficulties. It is a precious truth taught by the
people in Jagang Province that if a people struggles believing in their own
strength they never wavers before
difficulties but creates something out of nothing.
This spirit also proves that a people possessed of do-or-die fighting
spirit can carry out any difficult tasks on
their own efforts and only a people with a firm will can steadily advance,
surmounting all hardships.
The people in Jagang Province are unanimous that everything goes well
when they do as taught by Kim Jong Il
and nothing is insurmountable only if they have the spirit of carrying out
the tasks given by the WPK
unconditionally under any circumstances. It is the truth they have learned
in practice.
Complete collection of Kim Il Sung's works published
Pyongyang, April 3 (KCNA) -- The complete collection of Kim Il Sung's
works vols. 29 and 30 were brought
out by the Worker's Party of Korea Publishing House on the occasion of
Sun's Day.
The complete collection of his works, a library of the Juche idea,

Juche 51 (1962) while vol. 30 records 24 works including speeches,
conclusions and talks by him from November,
Juche 51 (1962) to March, Juche 52 (1963).
The complete collection of his works comprehensively deals with the
outstanding ideas, theories and policies
the President put forward to put socialist construction on a new higher
stage overcoming all difficulties and trials and
consolidate the revolutionary bases in the North Korea in terms of
politics, ideology, economy, culture and military
affairs and fully reflects precious achievements and experience gained in
the course of materializing them.
Vital rights demanded in S. Korea
Pyongyang, April 3 (KCNA) -- A mass rally against neo-liberalism and
for vital rights was held in Seoul on
Apr. 1 with the attendance of at least 6,000 representatives of 30
organizations including the South Korean
Confederation of Trade Unions, the "National Alliance for Democracy and
Reunification" and the "National
Federation of Peasants Associations."
The representatives requested the "government" not to sign an agreement
on investment with the U.S. and
Japan but reduce peasants' debts drastically.
They in a resolution declared they would defend their vital rights
through the anti-"government" struggle to
check the second-phase restructuring after the "national assembly election."
After the rally they launched a street march.
"Suspected kidnapping" refuted
Pyongyang, April 3 (KCNA) -- Representatives of the Niigata prefectural
people's council for the promotion of
the establishment of Japan-DPRK diplomatic relations visited the
prefectural police authority on March 24 and
asserted that the "suspected kidnapping by North Korea" was unreasonable.
Recalling that a girl who had been known to be missing for ten years
was found in the prefecture in January,
they strongly urged the police to stop describing the missing case as a
"kidnapping case by North Korea" without
evidence.
They called a press conference at which they said that the discovery of
the missing girl gave a great shock and
called for drawing a lesson from it and stopping talk about "suspected
kidnapping."
U.S. skepticism over DPRK-U.S. agreed framework
Pyongyang, April 3 (KCNA) -- The U.S. conservative hard-liners are
talking nonsense casting doubt about the
DPRK measure of freezing its nuclear facilities and calling for
"verification devices" for all its nuclear activities after
the recent conclusion of the DPRK-U.S. talks in New York.
There is no reason for the U.S. to be skeptical over the DPRK measure.
No sooner had the DPRK-U.S. agreed
framework been released than the DPRK took the step of stopping the
development of its independent nuclear power
industry from a sincere stand to solve the "nuclear issue" on the Korean
peninsula and this remains unchanged up to
now.
It is proved by the acute shortage of electricity in the DPRK in recent
years. This is attributable to its failure to
push ahead with its own nuclear power industry.
It is not difficult to guess the real aim sought by the U.S. in
feverishly spreading the rumour about "nuclear
suspicion," still remaining skeptical over the DPRK measure of nuclear
freezing.
It is nothing but a U.S. foolish design to evade the responsibility for
its failure to fulfil its commitments under
the agreed framework under the pretext of the DPRK's "nuclear suspicion."
The U.S. has dragged out the LWR project and nowadays it claims that
the project is expected to be completed
beyond 2007. This assertion suggests that it is hard to tell when the
project is expected to be completed and it may
end in smoke.
It has not properly fulfilled its commitment to provide the DPRK with
heavy oil, creating difficulties and
confusion in the DPRK's economic performance. It is overshadowing the
prospect of the agreed framework.
Refusing to mind their own business, the U.S. conservative hard-liners
are crying that it is essential to make
"verification devices" for all nuclear activities of the DPRK. This is an
intolerable act as it is the height of moral
vulgarity.
This, in fact, is an expression of their abhorrence and doubt about the
agreed framework and a criminal move to
scrap its provisions one after another in the future.
An "amendment" to the DPRK-U.S. agreed framework precisely means its
abrogation.
If the U.S. tries to "amend" the agreed framework, skeptical over the
DPRK measure of nuclear freezing and
the agreed framework itself, instead of sincerely implementing it, the
agreed framework will be bound to be
abrogated.
Japan should be forced to stand international trial
Pyongyang, April 3 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun today in a signed commentary
deals with the international
tribunal's recent start of trial of rape cases in several countries.
The commentary says:
Japan is the first to be judged by the international tribunal. Many
wars are recorded in human history, but there
is no precedent of Japan's abduction of women in the occupied countries,
including nearly 200,000 Korean women,
to reduce them to sex slaves for its army.
The crimes related to "comfort women for army" should have already been
brought to the international tribunal
as they were an organized group rape and hideous crimes against humanity.
But Japan has not yet been forced to stand trial at the international
tribunal.
Japan is so crafty as to try to hush up these crimes with a petty
amount of money.
These crimes can never be settled in that way.
Former "comfort women for army" say they cannot die before making the
Japanese government apologize and
compensate for the Japanese imperialist brutes' outrages.
The Japanese authorities should not turn deaf ears to this strong
demand, if they are human beings.
The crimes related to "comfort women for army" were ordered by the then
Japanese government and committed
by its military.
Therefore, the Japanese government can never escape from its
responsibility for the crimes.
The international community should force Japan to stand an
international trial.
Trend of development of history can never be stemmed
Pyongyang, April 3 (KCNA) -- Despite many turns and twists in the
course of the advance of history the trend
of its development can never be stemmed, says Rodong Sinmun today in a
signed article.
The article goes on:
The main trend of the development of history can never be stemmed as
the social attributes of human beings can
never change.
It is an attribute of an independent human being to live and develop
independently.
It is the ideal of humankind based on it to enjoy an equal happy life
in a free and peaceful world free from
domination, subjugation, aggression and war. Therefore, it is the main
trend of the development of history for them
to head for such a new world.
The old order of domination and subjugation which tramples down
independence of people is rejected
everywhere in the world as a leftover of the old times.
History is advancing along the road of independence.
Sudden and abnormal things happening in the world are the temporary
phenomena which humankind faces in
the course of advance toward a new independent world.
The collapse of socialism in a number of countries does not mean
victory of the old over the new but a total
bankruptcy of opportunism whose true colors as a counter-revolutionary
ideological trend were brought to light and
condemned in the international communist movement already long ago.
But opportunism disguised as "modern social democracy" has been
advocated as something new in some
countries for many years. Socialism thus got damaged and degenerated and
ended in collapse.
History is bound to forge ahead. The master of the world is popular
masses and they are advancing the history.
History advances and develops thanks to their creative efforts
according to their independent demands.
Grim reality of S. Korea deplored
Pyongyang, April 3 (KCNA) -- The South Korean newspaper Hangyore
deplored the miserable situation of
South Korea subject to the U.S.
Referring to the crimes committed by the U.S. in South Korea, the paper
said:
The U.S. Imperialists unhesitatingly killed innocent South Korean
civilians in the 1950s and sprayed defoliant
in the area south of the Military Demarcation Line in the 1960s, not
informing South Korea of its danger.
They assisted the dictatorial "governments" in the 1970s, 1980s and
1990s and arrogantly forced them to
increase the funds for the upkeep of the U.S. troops in South Korea.
The life and health of the people are exposed to grave threat because
of the U.S. military bases. The bases are
extraterritorial for the U.S. troops and a lawless zone.

abierta ruta aerea regular pyongyang-shenyang
pyongyang, 3 de abril (atcc) -- quedo abierta la ruta aerea regular
pyongyang - shenyang segun el acuerdo sobre
el transporte aereo entre los gobiernos de la rpd de corea y china.
esta linea servira a los visitantes a la rpdc.
ee.uu. no debe abrigar sospecha de acuerdo basico firmado con rpdc, comentario
de atcc
pyongyang, 3 de abril (atcc) -- coincidiendo con el termino de las
conversaciones con la rpdc en nueva york las
fuerzas ultraconservadoras de ee.uu. lanzan sospecha sobre las medidas de
congelacion nuclear de la rpdc y
difunden en maligna intencion la necesidad de "mecanismo de certificacion"
sobre el conjunto de actividades
nucleares de esta.
ee.uu. no tiene fundamento para abrigar sospecha del particular. tan
pronto como se publico el acuerdo basico
rpdc-ee.uu. tomamos medida de interrumpir el desarrollo de nuestra
industria de energia nuclear independiente
partiendo de la sincera posicion de resolver el "problema nuclear" en la
peninsula coreana y hasta la fecha
mantenemos la invariable posicion del respecto.
lo prueba fehacientemente la situacion de nuestra energia electrica que
se torna muy tensa en estos anos debido a
la congelacion de la industria de energia nuclear independiente.
sin embargo ahora ee.uu. difunde de continuo la "sospecha nuclear" a
fin de eludir la responsabilidad del
incumplimiento de su deber segun el acuerdo basico so pretexto de la
"sospecha nuclear".
ee.uu. al cabo de dilatar la construccion de reactores de agua ligera
dice que esta obra se terminara despues del
ano 2007. esto insinua que es la obra indefinida que puede quedar
inconclusa a nuestro parecer.
no cumple su deber en cuanto al ofrecimiento de petroleo crudo creando
obstaculo y caos en la gestion de la
economia de la rpdc y entenebreciendo la perspectiva del acuerdo basico
firmado con la rpdc.
las fuerzas ultraconservadoras de ee.uu. vociferan de que es
"fundamental crear mecanismo de certificacion"
sobre el conjunto de actividades nucleares de la rpdc no problematicas y
asi demuestran su bajeza moral al extremo.
este comportamiento muy insolito no se puede tolerar.
en esencia abrigan sospecha del acuerdo basico y pretenden enmendar en
el futuro los puntos del acuerdo basico
firmado con la rpdc.
la "enmienda" del acuerdo en cuestion significa su destruccion.
