Paek Nam Sun meets EU delegation
Pyongyang, November 27 (KCNA) -- Paek Nam Sun, Foreign Minister of the
Democratic People's
Republic of Korea, met and had a talk with the EU delegation led by
Dominique Girard, director for Asia of
the French Foreign Ministry, at the Mansudae Assembly Hall today.
Korean mineral water
Pyongyang, November 27 (KCNA) -- Korea boasts a lot of mineral waters.
Those with a temperature of
10 degree centigrade number more than 50. Their ingredients are mostly
hydrogen carbonate, carbonic acid
and iron. The renowned ones are Sambang, Sokwangsa and Kangso mineral waters.
Samgang and Sokwangsa mineral waters spring in Sepho and Kosan
counties, Kangwon Province.
Sambang mineral water is famous for the highest content of carbon
dioxide. A litre of water contains
3,256.00 mg of carbohydrate and 1,017.14 mg of mineral matter.
This water is highly efficacious for chronic gastritis, gastric and
duodenal ulcers, hepatitis, nephritis and
other diseases.
Sokwangsa mineral water gushes out from six springs, with a slight
difference in contents of mineral
matters.
This water also has good action on various diseases.
Kangso mineral water with a dozen spas is located in Nampho. The
temperature of this hydrogen
carbonate water is 4 to 12 degree centigrade. The content of hydrogen ion
is 5.7-5.8, low acid. These matters
are of great help in treating stomach and other digestive diseases.
The main spas throughout the country are furnished with resort
facilities and offer a wide range of
therapy to the sick. The mineral water is also bottled at these spas.
Way out for Korean nation
Pyongyang, November 27 (KCNA) -- Reunifying divided Korea into one is
prerequisite to the
prosperity of the nation and its uniform development, says Rodong Sinmun
today in a signed article.
It goes on:
There are ample conditions in the north and south of Korea for building
independent and prosperous
reunified Korea.
There are many competent scientists, technicians and talented men of
culture and art among the 70 million
Koreans.
They are powerful and dependable forces who would work for progress of
reunified Korea and the
prosperity of the nation.
And underground and marine resources guarantee the future prosperity of
reunified Korea.
Cultural heritages and tradition of the nation serve as valuable
treasures in developing the science,
technology and culture of Korea in a uniform way.
Noting that Korea should be reunified into one, the article stresses
national reunification alone will lead to
the prosperity of the nation.
U.S. urged to lift its anti-Cuba blockade
Pyongyang, November 27 (KCNA) -- The United States should drop its
criminal policy towards Cuba at
an early date as demanded by the Cuban people and the international
community, urges Rodong Sinmun
today in a signed article.
It says:
The adoption of a final declaration and resolution at the second world
conference for friendship and
solidarity with Cuba which was held in Havana was in response to the
widespread campaign in Cuba to put
an end to the U.S. blockade against it.
Recalling that a resolution urging the U.S. to lift the decades-long
economic blockade against Cuba was
adopted at the 55th UN General Assembly with an absolute majority approval,
the article notes that this was a
great victory achieved by the Cuban people in their struggle to defend the
dignity and sovereignty of the
country and socialism and a result of the international campaign against
the U.S. unreasonable sanctions and
blockade against Cuba and a manifestation of worldwide support and
solidarity with it.
The Cuban people are dynamically advancing along the road of socialism,
invariably maintaining the
revolutionary principles despite the U.S. ever intensified anti-Cuba moves,
the article observes, and goes on:
It is quite natural that Cuba has waged a campaign for putting an end
to the U.S. blockade against it,
commanding a positive support from the world, and the U.S. policy towards
Cuba is condemned worldwide.
Union organisations agree to form joint struggle committee
Pyongyang, November 27 (KCNA) -- The South Korean Confederation of
Trade Unions and the
Federation of South Korean Trade Unions agreed on November 24 to form a
joint struggle committee to
jointly thwart the authorities' unilateral restructuring and settle shorter
working hours and other pending
labour issues, according to Seoul-based "Christian Broadcasting System."
The organizations demanded the authorities withdraw the restructuring,
saying that they strongly oppose
it because it is the core of the neo-liberalist policy against workers
which forces the sacrifice of workers only.
They decided to hold a joint meeting of trade unions and discuss
concrete methods with a view to calling
a warning strike on December 5 and pressing forward a follow-up general strike.
And they decided to hold a solidarity rally of 25,000 workers in public
sectors on November 26 and a
rally "day of joint action of public sectors" on November 30 in order to
escalate the spirits of the joint
struggle.
Three-point charter of Korean reunification supported abroad
Pyongyang, November 27 (KCNA) -- At least one hundred million people
from more than 100 countries
have participated in the international signature campaign supporting the
three-point charter of Korean
reunification.
This proves the world community's positive support to the struggle of
the Korean people to achieve the
reunification of the country.
The bulletin published by the secretariat of the International Liaison
Committee for the Reunification and
Peace in Korea said that the three principles of national reunification,
the ten-point program of the great unity
of the whole nation and the proposal for founding the Democratic Federal
Republic of Koryo set forth by
President Kim Il Sung are the most reasonable and fair programme for
achieving the reunification of Korea
independently and peacefully, free from the interference of outside forces.
The secretary general of the Asian Regional Committee to Support
Korea's Reunification said that the
three-point charter of national reunification advanced by Kim Il Sung and
formulated by the great leader Kim
Jong Il serves as a banner for Korean reunification and a most just and
realistic program for reunification.
The charter indicates reasonable ways of achieving the reunification of
the country in conformity with the
actual conditions of Korea where the differing ideologies and systems have
existed in its north and south for a
long time and the desire of the whole nation for reunification, he added.
The Bangladesh-Korea Friendship Association in its statement noted the
proposal for founding the
DFRK put forward by Kim Il Sung is an original, just and reasonable one for
reunification as it reflects the
specific realities on the Korean peninsula and the will and desire of all
Koreans in the north, south and
overseas for the reunification of the country.
The Nordic Cooperation Committee for Friendship and Solidarity with the
Korean People in an appeal
said that it would as always positively support and encourage the Korean
people in their just struggle to
reunify the country independently and peacefully.
For Spanish-speaking people
ha de ser levantado bloqueo contra cuba
pyongyang, 27 de noviembre (atcc) -- el diario "rodong sinmun" en un
articulo individual de hoy subraya
que la politica criminal de ee.uu. sobre cuba ha de ser rectificada cuanto
antes segun la demanda del pueblo
cubano y la sociedad internacional.
el articulo senala:
la declaracion final y la resolucion aprobadas en la segunda
conferencia mundial de amistad y solidaridad
con cuba efectuada en la habana son un eslabon de la gran campana de este
pais para poner fin al bloqueo de
ee.uu.
tambien en el 55 periodo de sesiones de la asamblea general de la onu
quedo aprobada por la mayoria
abrumadora de votos en pro la resolucion que exige levantar el bloqueo
economico que mantiene ee.uu.
durante decenas de anos contra cuba.
esto es la gran victoria del pueblo cubano en la lucha por defender la
dignidad, la soberania y el
socialismo del pais y la expresion de la lucha internacional contra la
injusta sancion y bloqueo de ee.uu. y del
apoyo y solidaridad internacionales con cuba.
pese a las recrudescentes maquinaciones anticubanas de ee.uu. el pueblo
cubano mantiene
invariablemente el principio de la revolucion y avanza a pasos firmes por
el camino del socialismo.
es cosa sumamente natural que hoy cuba despliegue la campana para poner
fin al bloqueo de ee.uu. y el
mundo le brinde activo apoyo y solidaridad rechazando la politica
anticubana de ee.uu.
