KCNA on Japan's moves for militarization
Pyongyang, September 3 (KCNA) -- The Japan Defence Agency on August 30
reportedly adopted the policy of building a "specialized unit" to "cope with
attacks of guerrillas and special units". The adoption is nothing but
hysteria of aggression intended to further expand and beef up its aggression
troops under the pretext of non-existent "threat" from the DPRK and thus
accelerate the militarization of Japan.
This is clearly evidenced by the fact that the Japanese reactionaries
cited the "infiltration of an operation ship of North Korea" and the case of
a "stranded submarine" as a pretext for creating the "specialized unit" and
they are planning to stage a "field drill" in Hawaii "under the simulated
conditions of repelling armed guerrillas attack" and send its agents to U.S.
intelligence operation facilities to let them learn latest technology.
With the DPRK's launching of the satellite as a momentum Japan
deliberately created a terror-ridden atmosphere internally and craftily
built and has consolidated its political and military foundations to step up
militarization and fascism, inciting hostility against the DPRK. Japan is
now earnestly putting its program of military action into practice while
peddling the old fiction of "threat from North Korea."
The people's army and people of Korea are following with surging
resentment and vigilance the attitude of Japan putting spurs to the buildup
of aggression forces, far from redeeming its blood-stained past, its history
of aggression, remaining hostile to the DPRK.
We have warned more than once that militarization of Japan will lead to
reinvasion and it will get nothing but a final ruin.
Japan is well advised to reasonably judge where a real threat and danger
come from and get rid of hysteria of militarism before it is too late.

Papers welcome President Jiang Zemin's Korea visit
Pyongyang, September 3 (KCNA) -- Papers here today editorially welcome
the official goodwill visit of Jiang Zemin, General Secretary of the Central
Committee of the Communist Party of China and President of the People's
Republic of China, to the DPRK at the invitation of Kim Jong Il, General
Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and Chairman of the National
Defence Commission of the DPRK. Rodong Sinmun says: Respected Jiang's Korea
visit marks an important occasion of further boosting the friendly relations
between the two peoples and creating a favorable environment for peace and
security on the Korean peninsula and in the rest of Asia. His visit takes
place at a time when the Korean people are making energetic endeavours to
build a prosperous and powerful nation and achieve national reunification.
The DPRK-Sino friendship is long-standing and has deep roots. The
peoples of the two countries have hewed the path of victory, waging the
common protracted and arduous struggle against imperialism and for
independence, sovereignty and socialism.
This friendship continues to develop in the new century.
Kim Jong Il's visit to China in the first year of the 21st century and
his visit in the last year of the 20th century marked an epochal event as it
brilliantly decorated the history of the DPRK-China friendship and made it
possible to further strengthen and develop the friendship in the new
century.
Jiang Zemin's current Korea visit is a demonstration of the bonds of the
DPRK-China friendship growing stronger in the new century.
The Chinese people are hard-working and dignified people.
They have embarked upon the road of making a new advance to attain a
higher goal of socialist modernization with Chinese characteristics under
the leadership of the CPC with Jiang Zemin at the core. They are working
hard to successfully carry out the three major tasks, thoroughly meet the
demands of the "three represents" and achieve the reunification of the whole
country.
The PRC's authority and say are growing stronger in the international
arena.
The Korean people are pleased to note that everything is going well in
China and extend firm solidarity to the Chinese people in their struggle for
the complete reunification of the whole country.
It is the consistent stand of the workers' party and people of Korea to
steadily consolidate and develop the DPRK-China friendship. We are convinced
that the DPRK-China friendship will grow stronger in the new century thanks
to the joint efforts of the two parties and peoples.
Minju Joson says that there is no change in the stand of the government
and people of the DPRK to strengthen and develop the DPRK-China friendship
in line with the need of the new century and the common interests of the two
peoples.

S. Korean "Grand National Party's" anti-DPRK diatribe under fire
Pyongyang, September 3 (KCNA) -- The secretariat of the Committee for
the Peaceful Reunification of the Fatherland today released its information
bulletin no. 810 denouncing the South Korean "Grand National Party's"
anti-DPRK diatribe. It says:
As already known, the DPRK sent a message to the "minister of
unification" of South Korea yesterday proposing the earliest resumption of
inter-Korean dialogue.
No sooner had the message been conveyed to the south side and the world
become known about it than it commanded positive support and welcome from
the public at home and abroad.
However, only anti-reunification forces of the "Grand National Party"
styling itself a political party of South Korea, is talking nonsense,
displeased with our proposal.
They let loose a string of rubbish terming the DPRK's
reunification-oriented proposal for dialogue a "very doubtful" offer aimed
to save a minister of South Korea and that it is an "expression of trust" in
a minister.
This only discloses the vulgarity of the "GNP" as it cannot distinguish
the proposal for the resumption of the dialogue for reunification, the offer
related to state affair and the destiny of the nation, from an issue related
to a minister.
It is a shameful act disclosing its narrow mindedness and political
ignorance for the "GNP" to try to use the great cause of the nation for its
selfish interests and strategy.
The "Grand National Party" is well advised to stop adding to its crimes
against the nation.
The DPRK strongly warns that it will have no future.

Japan's rocket test-fire assailed
Pyongyang, September 3 (KCNA) -- Japan recently test-fired "H-2A"
rocket of an improved type. Paper here today carry signed commentary in this
regard.
The testfire is nothing but a broad hoax to cover up its military
purpose to launch an inter-continental ballistic missile, not for "space
development" as claimed by the Japanese reactionaries.
The rocket, an improved version of a series of prototype rockets
perfected through a number of testfires since 1998, can easily be converted
into an inter-continental ballistic missile to serve various purposes.
Rodong Sinmun says:
The recent rocket test-fire self-exposed the fact that Japan has totally
discarded its spurious signboard of "exclusively self-defensive policy"
which it has advocated since the Japanese imperialists' defeat and that it
has taken a step forward toward the realization of its ambition for overseas
expansion.
The testfire is a clear indication that Japan's militarist policy to
become the leader of Asia through overseas expansion is being pushed ahead
under a carefully pre-arranged plan.
The Japanese reactionaries'rocket testfire is targeted against the DPRK.
The DPRK can never remain a passive on-looker to Japan's reckless moves
to develop missiles primarily targeted against the DPRK and the moves of
Japan's master the U.S. to stifle the DPRK.
The U.S. and Japan should not misjudge the peace-loving DPRK's stand
whereby it suspended satellite launch. It is the DPRK's legitimate sovereign
right to push forward its peaceful missile program. as already clarified,
the DPRK's missiles do not pose any threat to those countries which respect
the DPRK's sovereignty but they have no mercy on Japan keen on a dangerous
missile launch targeted against the DPRK and some countries which actively
support it.
The U.S. and Japan should clearly know this and stop running amuck.

japon debe pagar sin falta precio de su crimen de pasado
pyongyang, 3 de enero (atcc) -- el diario "rodong sinmun" en un
comentario de hoy subraya que el pueblo coreano recibira sin falta en el
siglo 21 la disculpa e indemnizacion del japon que en el siglo pasado
recurrio a toda clase de maquiavelismo para eludir hasta el fin la
liquidacion de sus crimenes cometidos en el pasado al acarrear indecibles
desdichas y penalidades a la humandad. el comentario senala:
ha transcurrido mas de medio siglo desde la derrota del imperialismo
japones. pero las autoridades japonesas no piden disculpa ni hacen
indemnizacion todavia de sus actos criminales cometidos contra el pueblo
coreano. ellas han burlado hasta la fecha al pueblo coreano con terminos
"lastima" y "reflexion" e incluso vociferan que no pueden liquidar su pasado
al inventar hasta el problema de "secuestro" que no existe realmente. esto
demuestra a que grado han llegado la desverguenza y bajeza moral propias de
ellas que rehusan tercamente hasta el fin la disculpa e indemnizacion en
total contraste con alemania y otros paises criminales de guerra que ya las
hicieron.
el japon no reconoce su historia de agresion y crimenes ni pide disculpa
por esta sino elude indemnizacion hasta la fecha de sus crimenes cometidos
en el pasado con la siniestra intencion de realizar en el siglo 21 su
ambicion de nueva agresion a corea que no pudo lograr en el siglo pasado,
ocultar su historia criminal y hacerla desaparecer para siempre en la
memoria de la gente.
la liquidacion del pasado es el unico camino que permite al japon ganar
confianza internacional y vivir tranquilo.
el pueblo coreano no perdonara jamas el japon que no hace liquidacion de
su pasado.

acto contrario a ambiente de ayuda internacional, comentario de atcc
pyongyang, 3 de marzo (atcc) -- en una reciente entrevista con la
agencia noticiera "kyodo" el director de investigacion de la organizacion no
gubernamental "medicos sin fronteras" dijo que la mayoria de viveres donados
a la republica popular democratica de corea "se suministra solo a los
funcionarios del gobierno y ejercito" y cacareo de la "necesidad de
averiguar" el estado de distribucion de 500 mil toneladas de arroz donadas
por el japon. tal peroracion tendente a tergiversar sin fundamento alguno la
realidad y crear opinion erronea no se aviene al deber de un miembro de la
organizacion con mision de contribuir a la prevencion de conflictos y
choques y a la reconciliacion y la paz internacionales. en fin es un acto
contrario al ambiente de asistencia internacional.
como es conocido por todos, los miembros del programa mundial de
alimentos de la onu y otras organizaciones de cooperacion internacional en
la rpdc presencian sobre el terreno el estado de distribucion de granos,
medicamentos y otros materiales donados y confirman la transparencia de su
uso.
sin embargo, el pretende crear la opinion de que la mayoria de viveres
donados se emplea para otros fines. esto nos obliga a pensar que el tiene la
malsana finalidad ajena al objetivo puramente humanitario.
en fin de cuentas, esto prueba que esa organizacion no gubernamental se
deja utilizar por las fuerzas malsanas en las maquinaciones encaminadas a
afectar la comprension internacional sobre la labor de ayuda humanitaria a
la rpdc y crear dificultades en esta labor.
"medicos sin fronteras" debera prestar una debida atencion al hecho de
que debido a los actos irresponsables e insolitos de sus miembros se afecta
la imagen de organizacion de cooperacion internacional y se merma la
confianza de la sociedad internacional en esta.
el fortalecimiento de cooperacion y lazos regionales e internacionales
reviste un significado muy importante en el desarrollo de relaciones
internacionales en el siglo 21.
quienes de veras quisieran fieles a la mision internacional para el
ideal humanitario y la causa de la paz de la humanidad deben dejar de
cometer tal error vergonzoso como el de tergiversar la verdad enganados por
las artimanas politicas de las malsanas fuerzas.
