Pyongyang, September 16 (KCNA) -- The Latin American and Caribbean
Regional Committee for Supporting Korea's Reunification and the People's Front
of Workers, Peasants and Students of Peru and 13 other political parties and
organizations of Peru issued a joint statement on Sept. 5 55 years after
the U.S.
forces occupied South Korea.
Owing to the U.S. forces' occupation of South Korea for 55 years, the
Koreans have been forced to live separated in the north and south, not
knowing of
the fate of their parents, husbands, wives and children, the statement said.
It described the U.S. forces present in South Korea as the most shameless
occupationists, rulers, thrice-cursed murderers and plunders ever known in the
history of humankind.
It strongly demanded the U.S. government and the U.S. military authorities
pull the U.S. forces out of South Korea at once as demanded by all the Korean
people and the progressive humankind.
It earnestly appealed to governments, political parties, public
organizations and
individuals of all countries around the world aspiring after the independent and
peaceful reunification of Korea and world peace to wage a vigorous struggle
for the
withdrawal of the U.S. forces from South Korea.
International Day of ozone layer protection observed
Pyongyang, September 16 (KCNA) -- Today marks the International Day of
ozone layer protection.
Minju Joson carries an article by Jang Chol Gyun of the institute of
environment protection under the Ministry of Land and Environment Protection on
this occasion.
Many countries around the world have various colorful events including
national seminar, public presentation of science and photo exhibition and
conduct
activities to protect ozone layer under the theme "Let us protect our sky,
let us
protect yourself and ozone layer" on the occasion of the international day
of ozone
layer protection, the article says, and goes on:
Ozone layer useful to the people's health and the existence of organism is
destructed.
Under the correct policy of environment protection pursued by the Worker's
Party of Korea which values the people's health and life most, the DPRK
government approved the two basic conventions to protect ozone layer on January
27, 1995, and took a measure to remove production process of substance
destructive to ozone layer in 1996 when the international campaign for
ozone layer
protection was lukewarm.
The DPRK government will carry through the program of reduction of
substance destructive to ozone layer laid down in Montreal protocol and
amendments and thus sincerely implement national and international
obligations in
the environment protection to realise the people's desire to live in the
safe and clean
circumstances.
U.S. embassy in Seoul on alert
Pyongyang, September 16 (KCNA) -- The U.S. embassy in Seoul is on the
alert to cope with the anti-U.S. struggle, according to the South Korean
newspaper
Hangyore.
Installed over the fence are ten ultra high efficiency cameras.
These cameras help see faces of those more than 30 m away in darkness, and
with them the embassy side watches its surroundings around the clock.
Roadside trees outside the fence have been bound with belts with thick iron
needles so that people may not climb up the trees.
British preparatory committee formed
Pyongyang, September 16 (KCNA) -- A British preparatory committee for
celebrating the 55th anniversary of the Worker's Party of Korea (WPK) was
formed in London on Sept. 5.
At the inaugural ceremony participants said that the birthday of the
WPK is a
significant day for the world people who are aspiring after independence, peace,
friendship, solidarity and socialism against imperialism.
The ceremony decided to hold various celebrations on the occasion of
the 55th
anniversary of the WPK.
Malian Association for Study of Juche Idea formed
Pyongyang, September 16 (KCNA) -- The Malian Association for the Study of
the Juche Idea was inaugurated on August 15.
An inaugural ceremony took place at the conference hall of the African
Party for
the Solidarity and Justice of Mali.
The deputy secretary for administration of the executive committee of
the party
said that the Juche idea which was authored by the great leader Kim Il Sung
and has
been developed and enriched by the great leader Kim Jong Il is a great idea
which
illumines the road ahead of humankind and it is now displaying great
vitality in all
aspects of social life.
A letter to Kim Jong Il was adopted at the ceremony.
Statement of spokesman for DPRK FM supported
Pyongyang, September 16 (KCNA) -- The Nepal-Korea Friendship
Association, the Nepal Institute for Juche Studies and the International
Study Center
for Juche-oriented Mass Media in Nepal issued a joint statement on Sept. 8 in
support of the statement of the spokesman for the DPRK foreign ministry.
They were shocked at the news that the DPRK delegation was compelled not to
participate in the UN Millennium Summit owing to the U.S. shameless
obstructions, the statement said, and went on:
The brazen-faced obstructions of the U.S. Air Security Agents, a product of
instructions of the U.S. government, are a wanton violation of the international
usage and elementary diplomatic usage, an unbearable intervention in the
sovereignty of an independent state and, furthermore, a grave challenge to the
international community and the UN.
Such behaviour proves once again that the United States is clean
indifferent to
the independence and sovereignty of other countries as well as to
diplomatic usage
and international norms of conduct.
Seminar on Juche-oriented party building held
Pyongyang, September 16 (KCNA) -- A seminar of political parties of Italy on
the idea, theory and experience of the Worker's Party of Korea on Juche-oriented
party building was held in Rome on Sept. 11.
Speakers said at the seminar that the history of the WPK is a proud history
replete with the struggle against imperialism and for the sovereignty of
the people.
Today the Korean people are working world-startling miracles under the tested
leadership of the WPK, they noted.
The WPK is the only party which most successfully solved the issue of
inheriting the revolutionary cause of the leader, they said, adding that
the WPK is
fulfilling its duty with credit as a guiding force of the popular masses because
General Secretary Kim Jong Il is carrying forward the Juche cause of President
Kim Il Sung.
Noting that the realities of Korea prove the truth of history that
socialism is
invincible, they said that all the political parties in Europe should
follow the WPK
and keep pace with one another in expressing international solidarity with the
anti-imperialist struggle.
A letter to the great leader Kim Jong Il was adopted at the seminar.
The seminar made participants keenly feel that the WPK is, indeed, a tested
guide of the socialist cause and a pioneer of the world socialist and communist
movement at the present time, the letter said.
It noted that the participants gain faith and encouragement from the
fact that the
WPK is successfully building socialism of Juche and confidently peep into the
victory of socialism, the future of humankind.
