Present on invitation were Kim Yong Il, vice-minister of foreign affairs, and other officials concerned. Speeches were made at the gathering. Then the participants talked to each other about boosting the friendly relations between the two countries. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Korean people's struggle supported Pyongyang, January 6 (KCNA) -- Mouhammad Bouchiha, General Secretary of the People's Unity Party of Tunisia, met the DPRK ambassador to Tunisia some days ago. He said he is well aware that leader Kim Jong Il has led the Korean people's struggle to build a powerful nation to victory with his army-based revolutionary policy, frustrating the imperialists' moves to isolate and stifle the DPRK. He noted that Kim Jong Il's army-centered policy is, indeed, an effective way of attaining victory despite all sorts of difficulties. He expressed conviction that the Korean people would achieve successes in their efforts to build a powerful nation and accomplish the cause of the country's reunification under the leadership of the Workers' Party of Korea with Kim Jong Il as its general secretary. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Abolition of "Security Law" demanded Pyongyang, January 6 (KCNA) -- The Kwangju and South Jolla Provincial Federation of University Student Councils in South Korea on January 3 strongly condemned the South Korean investigation authorities for forcibly taking away Kim To Hyong, acting chairman of the tenth-term federation and vice-chairman of the general student council of Chonnam National University, on charge of violating the "Security Law," according to a news report. The federation declared that it would hold a rally to protest this action and demanded the abolition of the "Security Law" and the disorganization of the "public security investigation force." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Seoul citizens' meeting reviews implementation of June 15 joint declaration Pyongyang, January 6 (KCNA) -- The 2001 general meeting of Seoul citizens was reportedly held in Seoul on Dec. 31 last year to review the implementation of the June 15 South-North Joint Declaration. It was sponsored by the solidarity for the implementation of the south-north joint declaration, the council to inherit the spirit of pro-reunification patriotic martyr Kim Ryang Mu and the Seoul District Federation of University Student Councils. The meeting reviewed one year's activities conducted to smash the U.S. hardline policy towards the north and implement the joint declaration and vowed to wage a struggle in the New Year. It also served as a forum to try the anti-reunification forces for working hard to frustrate the implementation of the joint declaration, depending on foreign forces, not seeking cooperation between compatriots. A resolution adopted at the meeting charged that the implementation of the declaration is faced with a serious obstacle entirely because of the U.S., calling for an all-out struggle to foil the U.S. hostile policy towards the north. It strongly demanded the "government" authorities stop all the military actions, among other things, and sincerely approach the south-north dialogue. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Japan's bad habit assailed Pyongyang, January 6 (KCNA) -- Japan, talking about "possible terrorism" during the forthcoming world football championships, is working hard to deliberately connect it with the DPRK. Commenting on this, Rodong Sinmun today says: The Japanese police office in a report on "the review of public security and its prospect" issued at the end of last year underscored the "need" to closely watch the moves of the DPRK, letting loose a string of speculations and nonsense that there might be terrorism from outside during the 2002 world football championships. This is a symptom peculiar to the Japanese reactionaries seized with hostility towards the dprk. They seek to attain a certain aim by taking advantage of the situation where the DPRK still remains on the u.s. list of "sponsors of terrorism" with the world football championships at hand. They intend to use the championships as a good chance to launch a fresh anti-DPRK campaign throughout Japan. By doing so, they seek to round off the militarist fascist system now in the making in Japan and, at the same time, make all the Japanese regard the DPRK as the "arch enemy" and provide legal and institutional mechanisms to mobilize all the resources, manpower and material, needed for Japan's participation in the second Korean war to be ignited by the united states. The groundless anti-DPRK smear campaign launched by Japan with the championships as a momentum only touches off bitterer anger and hatred of the Korean army and people against it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Great national unity called for Pyongyang, January 6 (KCNA) -- In order to bring about a decisive phase in the struggle for national reunification this year, the Korean nation should get united above all. Unity alone can advance the movement for reunification and is a decisive factor of its victory. Rodong Sinmun today says this in a by-lined article. It goes on: The movement for national reunification which has been dynamically waged since the publication of the June 15 North-South Joint Declaration clearly proves that when the Korean people get united and build up thousand-fold strength they can eventually attain reunification. The prevailing situation more urgently requires the unity of the Korean people than ever before. The United States is persisting in its offensive to isolate and stifle the DPRK, groundlessly accusing it of "terrorism," "human rights issue" and "nuclear suspicion". It is aimed to tarnish the international image of the DPRK and egg the anti-reunification elements in South Korea on to prevent compatriots from getting united with each other. There still go on in South Korea such abnormal developments as cracking down upon pro-reunification patriots on the charge of the violation of the "Security Law" and getting on the nerves of the fellow countrymen in the north by advocating the "arch enemy" theory. All this is intended to serve outsiders' purpose of creating seeds of discord among fellow countrymen in a bid to bar the Koreans from going united. Once the nation is firmly determined to get united, it can shatter any moves of the anti-reunification elements and achieve great national unity. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ For Spanish-speaking people ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dignidad y autoridad de corea juche pyongyang, 5 de enero (atcc) -- el diario "rodong sinmun" en un articulo de hoy senala que el ano pasado la dignidad y autoridad de corea juche se han manifestado plenamente en todo el mundo y continua: en el mundo no hay tal pueblo como el pueblo coreano que lleno del gran orgullo, dignidad y felicidad recuerda con gran emocion el ano pasado. el pueblo coreano pudo conservar en lo profundo de corazon el orgullo y la dignidad nacionales porque se elevan la autoridad y el prestigio de corea juche gracias a la sabia direccion del dirigente kim jong il. la situacion del ano pasado era de veras muy complicada. ee.uu. persiguio abiertamente la politica de fuerza y recurrio a todos los medios y metodos para realizar su heguemonia mundial. la administracion bush de ee.uu. que tomo el poder en el nuevo siglo volco la politica de su precedente poder sobre corea y emprendio la politica dura sobre ella. pretendio eliminarla en lo militar para demostrar al mundo la "eficacia" de su politica dura y de esta manera, doblegar facilmente a otros paises revolucionarios y progresistas. el dirigente kim jong il, con la excepcional presciencia y la clarividencia cientifica tomo la medida revolucionaria de responder con la sobredureza a la dureza de los enemigos para enfrentarse al cambio de la situacion y al fortalecimiento de la politica de hostilidad de ee.uu. a corea y llamo con dinamismo a nuestro ejercito y pueblo a la lucha por la defensa de la patria y la construccion socialista. por eso se hicieron anicos los complots absurdos de las fuerzas belicosas de los imperialistas tendentes a doblegarnos con las fuerzas por la gran politica de priorizacion militar. por esta gran politica se han creado las circunstancias exteriores favorables a la revolucion coreana y se ha fortalecido la solidaridad internacional con la justa causa del pueblo coreano. las visitas del dirigente kim jong il a china y rusia fueron un evento historico de trascendental significado para dar gran influencia al cambio estructural de la politica del mundo y consolidar y desarrollar mas las relaciones de amistad corea-china y corea-rusia conforme a la demanda del nuevo siglo. esto sirvio de un motivo importante para llevar adelante la causa de la humanidad por la paz y la independencia. tambien la visita a la rpdc de la delegacion de nivel supremo de la union europea efectuada el ano pasado y el establecimiento de las relaciones diplomaticas entre la rpdc y la ue son la demostracion del nuevo desarrollo de las relaciones corea-ue y del desarrollo de las relaciones exteriores de la rpdc en el ambito mundial y son un gran fruto de la politica exterior independiente del partido del trabajo de corea y el gobierno de la rpdc. el ano pasado se elevaron tambien las voces de apoyo y solidaridad con el pueblo coreano en la escena internacional. de veras 2001 fue un ano en que esparcieron sus brillos la dignidad y el honor de corea juche y se elevaron aun mas su prestigio y autoridad en todo el mundo. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ nuevos libros de ciencia y tecnica pyongyang, 5 de enero (atcc) -- en la rpdc se dan a luz numerosos libros de ciencia y tecnica. la editorial ciencia y enciclopedia dio a luz mas de 10 libros tales como "lengua de composicion del programa" (parte basica), "realidad y creacion de descripcion artisitica de fotos", "cirugia de rehabilitacion ortopedica", "cirugia de organos digestivos", "clinica cirujana de hemorragia cerebral hipertensiva".
