Faith and will
Pyongyang, September 17 (KCNA) -- The editor-in-chief of the Russian
newspaper Patriot in his
article titled "Faith and will" said that the torchlight of the Juche idea,
the torchlight of faith and will,
held high by the Korean people, is throwing its rays over Russia, too, and
the torchlight is a beacon of
turning many people of Russia back to the road of independence and socialism.
The article was carried by Patriot no. 36.
Socialist Korea evokes respect and astonishment, excitement and
admiration among foreign friends
as well as the enemies, said the author.
Referring to the important events recorded in the historical course of
the Korean people, he said that
all the successes and miracles have been made not under easy condition but
under the most difficult
domestic and international situation.
The outstanding leader and father of the people Kim Il Sung and General
Secretary Kim Jong Il
founded the Juche idea and developed it, thus providing the people with an
eternally ideological and
almighty treasured sword, he said, and went on:
Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il instilled into the hearts of all citizens
of the country from children to
adults the faith that they are the master of everything, that is, the
master of their destiny and their
country. This is why all the people of this country will devote their
energies and wisdom to working so
hard and bravely and dedicate their all to the country.
The main weapon, the main strength of socialist Korea, is based on the
fixed faith, the harmonious
whole of the leader, the party, the army and the people.
The people and the leader demonstrated its might in the course of
triumphant creation, trusting in
each other and becoming a harmonious whole, so that the international
authority and prestige of the
Democratic People's Republic of Korea have steadily grown.
DPRK praised
Pyongyang, September 17 (KCNA) -- B. C. Gupta, chief editor of the
Indian magazine Social
Look in a statement on Sept. 5 said that the Korean people hewed the road
of socialism with their faith
and are firmly defending socialism under the uplifted banner of the Juche idea.
In the Democratic People's Republic of Korea the party and the leader
trust in the people and love
them boundlessly, and the people entirely trust in the party and the
leader, he noted, adding that this is a
true picture of the DPRK which has achieved single-hearted unity.
The chairman of the Congolese Association for Friendship Among Peoples
in a statement on Sept.
6 said that the Korean people are strong and the DPRK is steadfast because
the immortal Juche idea
founded by the great President Kim Il Sung prevails all over society and
becomes a nutritious matter of
revolution and construction.
It is also because the great leader Kim Jong Il is carrying forward the
cause of President Kim Il
Sung, he stressed.

Jong Il is an outstanding thinker and theoretician and a brilliant leader.
His party will distribute Kim Jong Il's works to its organizations,
setting them as must books to
imbue and educate the party members with the socialist idea, he stated.
Recent developments on Korean peninsula estimated affirmatively
Pyongyang, September 17 (KCNA) -- Participants in the plenary meeting of
the 55th session of the
UN General Assembly held on Sept. 12 and 13 affirmatively estimated recent
developments on the
Korean peninsula.
Kofi Annan, Secretary General of the United Nations, in his report on
the UN work at the plenary
meeting on Sept. 12 said that developments after the historic north-south
summit talks provide an
opportunity to build up trust between the north and the south and settle
the bitter dispute which lasted for
over half a century.
The Chinese Foreign Minister praised the efforts made by the north and
the south to promote peace
and security in the Korean peninsula and the region.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs and Senegalese abroad said:
The recent development of the inter-Korean relations is an event of the
greatest political significance
in the year 2000, which will help toward peace and security in the Korean
peninsula and the Asian
region as a whole. The United Nations will make a meaningful contribution
to keeping this process.
The resident representative of Finland in the United Nations and
foreign ministers of Japan,
Vietnam, Bulgaria, Honduras and Chile hailed the recent affirmative
developments on the Korean
peninsula.
Outburst of director general of Defence Agency of Japan
Pyongyang, September 17 (KCNA) -- Director general of Defense Agency of
Japan Torashima met
with the U.S. Secretary of Defense in Washington a few days ago and
vociferated about strengthening
of the military ties between Japan and the U.S., vowing to continue
promoting the joint study and
development of the "Theatre Missile Defense" (TMD) system.
Rodong Sinmun today in a signed commentary denounces his commitments as
anachronistic one.
The commentary goes on:
With the establishment of the "TMD" system together with the U.S., the
Japanese reactionaries seek
to introduce latest military technique so as to improve Japan's arms
industry and use it as a lever to build
up armed forces and round off preparations for reinvasion.
That is why they are hell bent on the moves to establish the "TMD"
system, making much ado about
"missile threat" from the DPRK.
Now that the plan for the "National Missile Defense" system has been
put off, the United States is
chiming in with the Japanese reactionaries in a bid to egg them on to
hasten the establishment of the
"TMD" system.
If Japan runs amok in arms buildup and runs high fever in its moves for
overseas invasion,
ignoring the trend of the times, it will pay dearly for it.
Japan should take the road of peace, keeping in step with the trend of
the times, not the road of
arms buildup and overseas invasion.
