People's Korea society of single-hearted unity

                                                     


In People's Korea there is complete Single -hearted unity which is based on both the Juche idea and socialist ownership of the means of production , distribution and exchange . 

  There are no antagonistic classes in People's Korea and there is social equality . Everyone works for the common good . There is no such thing as internal unrest , disturbances , riots or strikes . The DPRK was able to implement  the counter -epidemic measures without any problems .

  The DPRK has never gone in for 'reform ' and 'opening up' and has always rejected imperialist ideological and cultural infiltration .

 People's Korea will advance along the road of Juche and socialism come what may 

Fairy tales by Julienne. Such a petty bourgeois mode of thinking. An example of the face of British revisionism!

 

Speech to Online Meeting 28.11.2022 About the 5th anniversary of the Hwasong 5 ICBM launch by Dr Dermot Hudson

Recently , the DPRK successfully tested the Hwasong-pho 17 ICBM which represented a great advance in missile technology  but we are here tonight to recall an earlier great achievement 

Five years ago on the 29th of November 2017,  the Democratic People's Republic of Korea tested the Hwasong -15 Intercontinental Ballistic Missile under the guidance of the dear respected leader Marshal KIM JONG UN , an ever-victorious iron-willed brilliant commander who guides the successful defence building of the DPRK and is defying US imperialist pressure and diktat .


   Although since then the DPRK has tested even more powerful missiles, the Hwasong 15 ICBM was a watershed moment because it basically completed the process of the DPRK becoming a nuclear power and an ICBM power . The DPRK had raced across the ultimate nuclear finishing line with credit .

                                      


 The Hwasong 15 ICBM was tested at a time when the US imperialists had through their puppet UN Security Council imposed massive sanctions on the DPRK . Tension was running high because the US imperialists and south Korean puppets had carried out many military exercises and the US had threatened to unleash ‘fire and fury ‘ on the DPRK .


       At 02.48 hours in the morning of the 29th of November the Hwasong -15 ICBM, a new type of ICBM  blasted off in the darkness . The missile reached an altitude of  4 475 km and made a flight over the distance of 950 km for 53 minutes before making an accurate landing in the waters of the open sea in the East Sea of Korea.


                       



  Respected Marshal KIM JONG UN himself guided the test of the ICBM in person .Although it was the early hours of the morning , the Marshal denied himself sleep and rest to come out to the cold and frosty testing ground of the missile. Those venal imperialist politicians who hurl abuse and slander at the DPRK would have been fast asleep.However respected Marshal KIM JONG UN believes in leading from the front , he is not an armchair general but a man of action , a strong and dynamic leader who is always with the people and the soldiers.


                                                




The Hwasong 15 was more advanced than the Hwasong 14 ICBM that was tested in July 2017. The Hwasong 15 was able to strike all of the US mainland , which means in simple terms that the US imperialists may be able to run but they can never hide from the powerful retaliatory nuclear strike of the heroic Korean People's Army commanded by the dear respected leader Marshal KIM JONG UN . Thus the nuclear monopoly of the US imperialists has been shattered . Now the DPRK and US are facing each other on a level playing field . Korea is not the old feudal Korea of the 1900s which was totally powerless in the face of the Japanese empire nor is the Korea of the 1950s . The hired hacks and so-called experts of US imperialism are saying openly that the DPRK has reached the goal of having an ICBM that can hit the United States mainland , much earlier than they expected , maybe one year earlier than predicted . Thus the calculations of the US imperialists  were torn to shreds .


    It is said that the Hwasong 15 soared to a height 10 times that of the International Space Station. This is incredible . The scientific and technical advance of People's Korea is something truly phenomenal , absolutely breathtaking .Even the US imperialist's own experts are conceding that the DPRK has made big strides forward .The British newspaper the "Independent " quoting an American expert stated  "Several analysts noted that the missile looked like the American Titan II, which was initially an ICBM but was then later used by the US Air Force and Nasa as a space launch vehicle."


    The scientists and technicians of People's Korea produced a new type ICBM in the space of a mere 3 or 4 months  . It would take some countries years and even decades to do this. It becomes even more amazing when some facts are taken into consideration.Firstly some developed or advanced countries do not have their own ICBM . Britain scrapped its own medium range ballistic missile the Blue Streak in the late 60s . Imperialist countries such as Japan , Germany and Italy do not have their own ICBMs. Secondly, it is an advance that has not taken place under ideal conditions  but conditions of multiple sanctions imposed by the US imperialists and their marionette the UN Security Council and also the EU, Japan ,south Korea and other puppets and lackeys of US imperialism.The ICBM Hwasong-15 weapon system is a Juche based self-reliant one , which was developed with domestic efforts and technology 100 percent to suit the specific conditions of the country .The great advances made by DPRK scientists in the field of ICBM technology could also be applied to civilian space programme of the DPRK as well as other fields of science and technology . Truly the DPRK under the leadership of dear respected Marshal KIM JONG UN is becoming an advanced sci-tech power and will soon overtake the imperialist countries in the field of science and technology. I witnessed this myself visiting the Sci-Tech Complex in Pyongyang several times.


  It is probable that the successful test fire of the Hwasong 15 ICBM in November 2017 was the reason why the then US president Trump did an about face and decided to enter into negotiations with the DPRK even holding 2 summits with respected Marshal KIM JONG UN.

   


   The Hwasong 15 ICBM test was a  great advance that has been achieved by Juche Korea under the wise leadership of dear respected Marshal KIM JONG UN . What did  it show? Firstly , it showed that the advance of the DPRK in nuclear and missile technology is unstoppable no matter what sanctions the US imperialists may impose. Secondly , it proved the correctness of the line of building the economy and nuclear force in parallel. Thirdly, it  demonstrated  the revolutionary spirit of self-reliance and the self-development first idea .  Fourthly, it was a manifestation of the validity and vitality of the Juche Idea and Songun Idea. Some  reactionaries and revisionists like to be dismissive of Juche and the DPRK but the Hwasong 15 ICBM test proved them wrong . Finally , it demonstrated the will of respected Marshal KIM JONG UN and the Korean people to carry out the line of building up the self-defence potential of the DPRK .


To conclude here , I think it is important to stress a few things namely that it is the independent and sovereign right of the DPRK to conduct ICBM tests as these are for self-defence against the increasing threat from US imperialism which has deployed both conventional and nuclear forces in and around the Korean peninsula . Some say that the DPRK should rely on others for its defence and not build strategic weapons , However this fallacy was shattered 60 years ago when the USSR  pulled its missiles that it had deployed in Cuba after being threatened by the US . Moreover Russia has shown itself to be a less than efficient ally as demonstrated by the shortcomings of its special military operation in Ukraine and China was shaking hands with Biden . The DPRK is absolutely correct to rely on itself for its defence and not entrust its destiny to others . The DPRK will not be a bargaining chip for others.

U.S. – Israel’s Accomplice to Be Placed in Dock


 2022.11.29.

http://www.mfa.gov.kp/view/article/16181

At the recent meeting of the Fourth Committee (Special Political and Decolonization) of the 77th UNGA, the resolution on requesting the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to investigate, on an urgent basis, Israeli attempt at annexing Palestinian territory was adopted by absolute majority of the UN member states.


The adoption of the aforementioned resolution constitutes a just measure reflecting the public sentiment of the international community at large aspiring to justice and peace.


Israel has recently been undertaking a project of building as many as 7,000 Jewish dwellings in the Palestinian territory under its occupation, removing thousands of Palestinian dwellings and even killing hundreds of innocent Palestinian residents who stood up against it, evoking worldwide disapproval and denunciation.


The thing is, the U.S. opposed the adoption of the resolution.


The U.S., despite its expressed “concern” over the Israeli construction of Jewish settlements, and its apparent support for the “Two-State Solution”, has in actual fact been patronizing and backing the Israeli attempt at seizing Palestinian territory.


Without the U.S. backing and patronizing, Israel could not have committed the flagrant crime aimed at permanent occupation of Palestinian territory for the past decades, in utter defiance of the protest and denunciation of the international community.


The reality shows that the U.S. is indeed the accomplice that should be placed under the Palestine-related ICJ emergency investigation together with Israel.


It is only fitting that the U.S. be subjected to the ICJ investigation for its connivance at and encouragement of Israeli act of territory annexation.

Main Culprit Corrupting International Human Rights Arena


 2022.11.29.

http://www.mfa.gov.kp/view/article/16180

Today, protection and promotion of human rights rises as an important matter in guaranteeing the dignity and genuine life of humans and in achieving socio-economic development of the country.


As is stipulated in the UN Charter, realizing international cooperation has a great bearing on promoting and encouraging respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms for all.


However, it is regrettable that acts of inciting mistrust and confrontation, not that of respect and cooperation, are being brazenly committed in the international human rights arena.


This can be clearly seen through confrontation and friction between groups appeared at the recent session of the Third Committee of the 77th session of the UNGA.


At the debate on the agenda item related to promotion and protection of human rights, the U.S. and Western countries had the insolence to groundlessly take issue with the human rights situation in some countries and brand them as “human rights violators” and “anti-humanity criminal states”.


They especially designated those countries that took strong independent stand and made a big fuss about their dire human rights situation and wide-ranging violations of human rights, demanding thorough investigation by the international community to find the ones responsible for them.


Also, during debates on other agenda items including the issue of women, children, persons with disabilities, religion and ethnic minorities, they recklessly slandered selective countries disobedient to them. Not content with this, at the end of the session, they didn’t hesitate to railroad “human rights resolutions” which had seriously distorted and fabricated the human rights situations in individual countries.


This invited great uproar and due negative responses from most of the countries attending the session.


Many countries including China, Russia, Cuba, Iran, Venezuela and Syria resolutely denounced and rejected the groundless criticism of the U.S. and Western countries as political provocation and berated the U.S. and Western countries as the world’s biggest abusers of human rights flagrantly violating the UN Charter and international law on human rights.


Meanwhile, the NAM and the Group of Friends in Defence of the Charter of the United Nations issued joint statements calling for adherence to the principles of respect for sovereignty and non-interference in the internal affairs of states and for the encouragement of dialogue and cooperation in the field of protecting and promoting human rights. They also raised their voices for putting an end to the ongoing practices of selectively dealing with the human rights situation in specific countries.


The UN arena, which should serve as a platform for seeking practical solutions for protection and promotion of human rights through dialogue and cooperation, has turned into a venue of political confrontation and a three-ring circus. The blame lies squarely on the shoulders of the U.S. and Western countries.


They are the main culprits who exploit the human rights issue under the pretext of “protecting human rights” and “defending democracy” in pursuit of their political aim to interfere in internal affairs and topple the system of anti-imperialist independent countries whom they regard as a thorn in the flesh.


This is vividly proven by the fact that countries which suffer from mistrust and confrontation, conflicts, discord, and instability are inevitably places haunted by the dark shadows of the U.S. and Western countries holding the signboard of “human rights protection”.


All countries aspiring for independence and justice should unite in putting a stop to the U.S. and Western countries who are setting up deliberate roadblocks in the way of resolving the issue of human rights and rise in the struggle to realize justice in the international human rights arena.

Report of Online Meeting to mark the 5th Anniversary of the Hwasong 15 ICBM test fire

 


On the  28th of November at  1800 hours the Korean Friendship Association of the UK (KFA UK )  together with the Association for the Study of Songun Politics UK(ASSPUK) and the British Group for the Study of the Juche Idea held an online meeting to mark the 5th anniversary of the Hwasong 15 ICBM test . Participating were KFA UK officials , activists and members of KFA UK , the British Group for the Study of the Juche Idea and ASSPUK from London , West of England , Staffordshire and other parts of the UK . Also participating were officials and members of KFA Greece , KFA Switzerland and KFA Bulgaria .

A representative of KFA Switzerland ,referring to the recent successful test of the Hwasong-pho 17 ICBM in the presence of respected Marshal KIM JONG UN , said that  the imperialists cannot disarm People’s Korea .

Dr Dermot Hudson Chairman of KFA UK and Chairman of the British Group for the Study of the Juche Idea  said in part that “Five years ago on the 29th of November 2017,  the Democratic People's Republic of Korea tested the Hwasong -15 Intercontinental Ballistic Missile under the guidance of the dear respected leader Marshal KIM JONG UN , an ever-victorious iron-willed brilliant commander who guides the successful defence building of the DPRK and is defying US imperialist pressure and diktat .

  Although since then the DPRK has tested even more powerful missiles, the Hwasong 15 ICBM was a watershed moment because it basically completed the process of the DPRK becoming a nuclear power and an ICBM power . The DPRK had raced across the ultimate nuclear finishing line with credit” and concluded that “The DPRK is absolutely correct to rely on itself for its defence and not entrust its destiny to others . The DPRK will not be a bargaining chip for others.”

Comrade Alan Bolon , KFA UK Organisation Secretary , head of KFA UK West of England branch and editor of “People’s Korea Today ‘ read out a speech titled ‘ For Defence “ which said “The American state government, by murdering thousands of innocent people in Iraq, under the pretext of an imaginary threat to world security by a nuclear weapon that was not actually found, the American government destroyed the sovereign Iraqi country in a bandit attack. The capitalist strategy was to gain control of billions in profits and one of the world's greatest reserves of oil. Such action in the case of DPRK could not be successful and could not even be started.

The DPRK has never attacked any country in the world for the first time in world history. But retaliation against the American attack would be immediate and devastating. This is why 'Hwasong - 15' is not only a physical weapon, but also a psychological defense of this country. And this is what the American imperialists know.

It is worth emphasizing that success in the missile test is not only a military success in the sense of defense, it is a success for the entire independent economy of Peoples Korea . A ballistic missile is a complex system of mechanisms that work together in a variety of systems. From the mechanical mechanisms of the engine to the electronics. It is all made of many composite materials and special hundreds of materials and composites of rare metals. All of this has been produced one hundred percent in DPRK by the domestic industry and is a great success in the economic field in terms of self-sufficiency. The constructors' effort to build such a missile is enormous, but also ordinary people who provided varieties materials and raw materials under the conditions of the DPRK economic embargo, and even more so, it is a success, because it was achieved thanks to the guided Idea of Juche and its self-sufficiency”


A representative of Staffordshire KFA UK said that the test fire of the Hwasong 15 ICBM was a great victory for the DPRK and an application of Songun politics.

The general secretary of KFA Greece said that “ The Korean People not only ignored these petty attempts to make them stray away from Socialism, but kept their hold over the banners of Songun and Juche even more vividly, with adamant passion and kept improving their country, but also managed to surpass new milestones in their pursuit of perfecting their self-defense and their efforts of safeguarding their sovereignty, by successfully launching their second successful Intercontinental Ballistic Missile, the Hwasong-15." 

A KFA UK member from Yorkshire sent in a short paper which concluded with the following ‘For that reason, I close by repeating my initial hypothesis: That the DPRK nuclear weapons program is the ultimate vindication of the Juche Idea.

Long live the DPRK, and long may its nuclear arsenal keep its people free from the shackles of capitalist imperialism”

There were questions and discussion on different topics such as the meaning of the word Hwasong and the self-reliant nature of the DPRK national defence programme.

The music “We will kill the US imperialists when they attack us - 미제가 덤벼들면 죽음을 주리” was played .

Meeting concluded at 2000 hours.

Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un Has Photo Session with Contributors to Successful Test-fire of New-type ICBM Hwasongpho-17



















Pyongyang, November 27 (KCNA) -- Kim Jong Un, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and president of the State Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, had a photo session with the contributors to the successful test-fire of new-type ICBM Hwasongpho-17.


Present there were Kim Jong Sik and Jang Chang Ha.


The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un met with the combatants of the Red Flag Company, the officials, scientists and technicians of the defence science research institute and workers of the munitions factory who made a great contribution to the test-fire of Hwasongpho-17 conducted on November 18, and had a photo session of historic significance with them.


The participants were filled with boundless passion and happiness of receiving undeserved glory and fortune again amid the pleasure and pride over the fact that the rapidly increasing tremendous abilities of the DPRK was strikingly displayed and the strategic and absolute strength of great and dignified Korea was demonstrated to the whole world in the course of the dynamic advance for the Party's far-reaching cause of building a military power.


When General Secretary Kim Jong Un appeared at the photo session venue together with his beloved daughter, all the participants broke into stormy cheers of "Hurrah!", expressing the highest glory and ardent reverence for him, the outstanding leader of our Party, state and people who personally blazed a perfect shortcut to the national defence development of our style with his wisest determination and prominent leadership ability and energetically guided it to reliably defend the brilliant dignity of our Republic with the gigantic event, the completion of the world's strongest strategic weapon.


The General Secretary gave a warm and militant salute of congratulations to the reliable defence soldiers who proudly launched before the world a gigantic crystal made with pure loyalty, extraordinary mental power and outstanding sci-tech force in the struggle for attaining the grand goal true to the Party's line of building up the national defence and thus convinced of our daily-growing military supremacy and powerfully demonstrated to the whole world the great might of our nuclear war deterrent.


Saying that he is very grateful to our loyal and patriotic people who have endured all sorts of hardships and rendered absolute support to the cause of the Party whenever its far-reaching great cause of building a powerful army was achieved one by one, he stressed that Hwasongpho-17, an outcome of the people's unconditional support and encouragement, is just a gigantic creation brought by our people with their own efforts, a great entity of strategic strength and the Korean people's Hwasongpho both in name and reality.


He extended warm thanks to the people who absolutely sympathized with, upheld, encouraged and supported the revolutionary cause of our Party and convinced and prayed for its endless success as usual.


It is the truth taught by history that only when we become the strongest, not the weak, in the present world where the strength in showdown just decides victory, can we defend the present and future of the country and nation, he said, adding that we should consolidate our greatest strength seized firmly with two hands as more absolute and irreversible one, never resting on our laurels, and continue to put spurs to the limitless bolstering of the defence capabilities.


He said with confidence that our self-defence capability would be put on the position of the world's strongest as long as our fighting goal and determination are clear and there are a large army of defence scientists and technologists intensely loyal to the Party and the courageous munitions workers and the absolute support of our people.


He expressed the expectation and belief that our scientists and technicians in the field of national defence and the workers in the field of munitions industry, who have always been boundlessly loyal to their cause, would make a do-or-die struggle in the spirit of unconditional implementation, always mindful of their heavy mission in the advance for achieving the cause of building the state nuclear force in the future, too, and thus expand and bolster up the nuclear war deterrent of the country at an exceptionally rapid speed.


All the participants, who received the great trust and unimaginable glory of the General Secretary, expressed their deep gratitude to him who repeatedly bestowed on them the privileges envied by the whole country and instilled full confidence in the bright future of building the Juche-based national defence. And they hardened their resolve to reliably carry forward our great cause of building the state strategic force for all ages, burning their hearts with a single mind to repay the privileges and trust shown by him at any cost. -0-

Rodong Sinmun Calls for Intensified Class Education


Pyongyang, November 26 (KCNA) -- To strengthen the class education is an issue of paramount importance that does not allow even a moment of negligence in accomplishing the socialist cause, Rodong Sinmun stresses in an editorial Saturday.


Mounting and erupting like an active volcano now is the indignation of our people at the hostile forces desperate to block the forceful advance of our revolution, the editorial says, and goes on:


Class awareness constitutes the core in the socialist idea and a key point in socialist education is class education. It is impossible to think about the independent life of our people and the dignity and value of man, to say nothing of the victory of the revolution and the invincibility of socialism, away from the anti-imperialist, anti-U.S. and class education as fish cannot live without water.


The most important point underpinning the on-going push to further raise the dignity of our Republic and step up the socialist construction is for our people to acquire uncompromising anti-imperialist and class awareness. Weakened class struggle amounts to getting ideologically disarmed.


Only transparent class awareness and firm revolutionary principle will help further consolidate single-minded unity, the greatest might of our Party and social system, fully display the unflinching attack spirit of braving grim trials and reliably defend the idea, tradition and gains of our own.


The popular masses' class awareness must grow stronger over time and class education is the crucial issue of the revolution that never allows even a moment of negligence.


All the Party organizations and working people's organizations should heighten the level of anti-imperialist, anti-U.S. and class education among the Party members and other working people and thus make active contribution to speeding up the new victory of our own style socialism. -0-

Epitome of Internationalist Obligation


 2022.11.25.

http://www.mfa.gov.kp/view/article/16173

It was six years ago in November, 2016. Upon hearing the news of sudden demise of Comrade Fidel Castro Ruz, historical leader of the Cuban revolution, respected Comrade Kim Jong Un displayed the epitome of internationalist obligation.


Comrade Fidel Castro Ruz, the prominent statesman who made distinguished contributions to the Cuban revolution and to the accomplishment of the cause of independence against imperialism, passed away to our deep regret on November 25, 2016 at the age of ninety.


He always remembered his visit to our country in March 1986, during which he was met by President Kim Il Sung and General Kim Jong Il. Appreciative of our active support to the Cuban revolution, he made a great contribution to the strengthening of the friendly relations between the two countries.


On the occasion of the demise of Comrade Fidel Castro Ruz who had contributed to the laying of solid foundation for the bilateral friendly ties, Comrade Kim Jong Un personally sent a message of condolence and a wreath and saw to it that Party and government delegation be promptly dispatched to Cuba to convey the Korean people’s warm condolence to the Cuban people.


He also visited in person the Cuban Embassy in our country to share the sorrow of having lost Comrade Fidel Castro Ruz with Cuban comrades and made the meaningful entry in the condolence book as follows: “Though the outstanding leader passed away, his name and feats will always be remembered by all of us. We feel pain of the loss of the great Comrade, the great comrade-in-arms. Kim Jong Un”.


Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un said that although Comrade Fidel Castro Ruz passed away, his great feats will shine forever in the hearts of the peoples of our two countries as well as in the minds of the progressive humankind.


He also expressed his conviction that the revolutionary Cuban people will brave the pain of having lost their prominent leader, and will surely achieve victory in building a thriving, ideal society for people and in the cause of socialism, true to his lifetime intention.


Today the Cuban people, loyal to the pledge made before the bier of Comrade Fidel Castro Ruz and true to his behests, are safeguarding the precious gains achieved by the preceding generations of revolution, and are invariably carrying forward the cause of socialism, achieving many successes during the course.


At the recent 22nd International Meeting of Communist Parties and Workers’ Parties held in Havana, Comrade Miguel Mario Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba and President of the Republic of Cuba affirmed that he will unite the revolutionary forces and educate the new generations with socialist ideology, emphasizing that only socialism will guarantee the future.


We extend full support to and solidarity with the Cuban people’s struggle for safeguarding the sovereignty of the country and the revolutionary gains and for victorious advance of the cause of socialism, and will continue to make every effort to strengthen and develop the strategic and comradely relations of friendship and cooperation between our two countries.

Five years since the Hwasong 15 ICBM soared into the Sky- special article by Dr Dermot Hudson

                                 



 Five years ago on the 29th of November 2017,  the Democratic People's Republic of Korea tested the Hwasong -15 Intercontinental Ballistic Missile under the guidance of the dear respected leader Marshal KIM JONG UN , an ever-victorious iron-willed brilliant commander who guides the successful defence building of the DPRK and is defying US imperialist pressure and diktat .

   Although since then the DPRK has tested even more powerful missiles, the Hwasong 15 ICBM was a watershed moment because it basically completed the process of the DPRK becoming a nuclear power and an ICBM power . The DPRK had raced across the nuclear finishing line with credit .

                                      

 The Hwasong 15 ICBM was tested at a time when the US imperialists had through their puppet UN Security Council imposed massive sanctions on the DPRK . Tension was running high because the US imperialists and south Korean puppets had carried out many military exercises and the US had threatened to unleash ‘fire and fury ‘ on the DPRK .

       At 02.48 hours in the morning of the 29th of November the Hwasong -15 ICBM, a new type of ICBM  blasted off in the darkness . The missile reached an altitude of  4 475 km and made a flight over the distance of 950 km for 53 minutes before making an accurate landing in the waters of the open sea in the East Sea of Korea.

                         


  Respected Marshal KIM JONG UN himself guided the test of the ICBM in person .Although it was the early hours of the morning , the Marshal denied himself sleep and rest to come out to the cold and frosty testing ground of the missile. Those venal imperialist politicians who hurl abuse and slander at the DPRK would have been fast asleep.However respected Marshal KIM JONG UN believes in leading from the front , he is not an armchair general but a man of action , a strong and dynamic leader who is always with the people and the soldiers.

                                                



The Hwasong 15 was more advanced than the Hwasong 14 ICBM that was tested in July 2017. The Hwasong 15 was able to strike all of the US mainland , which means in simple terms that the US imperialists may be able to run but they can never hide from the powerful retaliatory nuclear strike of the heroic Korean People's Army commanded by the dear respected leader Marshal KIM JONG UN . Thus the nuclear monopoly of the US imperialists has been shattered . Now the DPRK and US are facing each other on a level playing field . Korea is not the old feudal Korea of the 1900s which was totally powerless in the face of the Japanese empire nor is the Korea of the 1950s . The hired hacks and so-called experts of US imperialism are saying openly that the DPRK has reached the goal of having an ICBM that can hit the United States mainland , much earlier than they expected , maybe one year earlier than predicted . Thus the calculations of the US imperialists  were torn to shreds .

    It is said that the Hwasong 15 soared to a height 10 times that of the International Space Station. This is incredible . The scientific and technical advance of People's Korea is something truly phenomenal , absolutely breathtaking .Even the US imperialist's own experts are conceding that the DPRK has made big strides forward .The British newspaper the "Independent " quoting an American expert stated  "Several analysts noted that the missile looked like the American Titan II, which was initially an ICBM but was then later used by the US Air Force and Nasa as a space launch vehicle."

    The scientists and technicians of People's Korea produced a new type ICBM in the space of a mere 3 or 4 months  . It would take some countries years and even decades to do this. It becomes even more amazing when some facts are taken into consideration.Firstly some developed or advanced countries do not have their own ICBM . Britain scrapped its own medium range ballistic missile the Blue Streak in the late 60s . Imperialist countries such as Japan , Germany and Italy do not have their own ICBMs. Secondly, it is an advance that has not taken place under ideal conditions  but conditions of multiple sanctions imposed by the US imperialists and their marionette the UN Security Council and also the EU, Japan ,south Korea and other puppets and lackeys of US imperialism.The ICBM Hwasong-15 weapon system is a Juche based self-reliant one , which was developed with domestic efforts and technology 100 percent to suit the specific conditions of the country .The great advances made by DPRK scientists in the field of ICBM technology could also be applied to civilian space programme of the DPRK as well as other fields of science and technology . Truly the DPRK under the leadership of dear respected Marshal KIM JONG UN is becoming an advanced sci-tech power and will soon overtake the imperialist countries in the field of science and technology. I witnessed this myself visiting the Sci-Tech Complex in Pyongyang several times.

  It is probable that the successful test fire of the Hwasong 15 ICBM in November 2017 was the reason why the then US president Trump did an about face and decided to enter into negotiations with the DPRK even holding 2 summits with respected Marshal KIM JONG UN.

   

   The Hwasong 15 ICBM test was a  great advance that has been achieved by Juche Korea under the wise leadership of dear respected Marshal KIM JONG UN . What did  it show? Firstly , it showed that the advance of the DPRK in nuclear and missile technology is unstoppable no matter what sanctions the US imperialists may impose. Secondly , it proved the correctness of the line of building the economy and nuclear force in parallel. Thirdly, it  demonstrated  the revolutionary spirit of self-reliance and the self-development first idea .  Fourthly, it was a manifestation of the validity and vitality of the Juche Idea and Songun Idea. Some  reactionaries and revisionists like to be dismissive of Juche and the DPRK but the Hwasong 15 ICBM test proved them wrong . Finally , it demonstrated the will of respected Marshal KIM JONG UN and the Korean people to carry out the line of building up the self-defence potential of the DPRK .

Tragedy of Ulsa year must not be repeated



 


Now is the 117 year since the fabrication of "Ulsa Five Point Treaty", the outcome of the aggressive ambition of brigandish Japanese imperialism on Korea.


With the conclusion of the so called "Treaty" the Korean nation, bereft of the country, was destined for a long period of 40 years either obeying the Japanese laws or being killed under the Japanese colonial fascist rule of harsh political and ideological suppression, material plundering and nation killing.  


The whole country turned into a prison without bars and a Japanese base for war supplies. Our nation deprived of even Korean names and language to say nothing of dignity and soul were doomed to a fate of beast in the killing battlefield, labor camps and ignominious "comfort house".


The colonial rule of Korea by Japan is a large-scale crime against humanity meant to exterminate a country, Korea and its nation from the globe.


However, even today that is the 77th year of Japan's surrender and 117th year of usurping the power of our nation, the Japanese reactionaries have not yet liquidated their past unlawful and immoral crimes.


Japan does not properly recognize her occupation of Korea and crimes committed but rather behaves impudently to distort historical facts.


Shunning deliberately the demand of victims for an apology and reparations, high ranking politicians including the prime minister call on in groups Yasukuni Shrine where specters of chief instigators for aggression wander inciting militarism and Japan participates actively in military exercises against the DPRK to realize an ambition for "the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere" and alleges that Dok islet sacred land of Korea belongs to Japan.


All these are the revelation of the dangerous ambition of Japan to reaggress Korea, thereby repeating its past aggression.  


In spite of these the Yoon Suk-yeol traitorous group is fanning Japanese reactionaries in their maneuvers to revive militarism and reaggress Korean Peninsula clamoring to improve ties with Japan. It took part in naval review and made reverence to the rising sun flag tainted with the blood of aggression thus openly committing an alarming reckless act.  


The reality shows clearly that if the distortion of history by Japan and its move to seize Dok islet are tolerated and thoughtless acts of pro-Japanese submission are overlooked the tragedy inflicted 110 odd years ago would repeat itself.


It is for this reason that the broad segments of south Korean people launch an unrelenting campaign against Yoon group and Japan demanding Japanese government to recognize its past crimes against humanity and make an apology and compensation.  

In demand of step-down of Yoon

In demand of step-down of Yoon

 

According to the south Korean mass media it was reported that the students affiliated to the civil organization held the "first candlelight rally urging Yoon Suk-yeol to step down" to denounce Yoon traitors in Seoul on Nov. 12

Yoon's group made unprecedented primary attack targeting at middle and senior high school students never known in the past regime. The authorities all went out to repress students criticizing the work concerning cartoon "Yoon's train" depicting Yoon.

We, Students who are fed up with Yoon's brutalities decided to hold candlelight and Yoon group subjected students to pressure. False news were circulated against our candlelight rally and stepped up repression, they continued.  

All of power organs such as Seoul city administration came forward to threaten students not to hold candlelight using all types of intimidation. Yoon's group is so afraid of students holding the candlelight that they put pressure on them, they asserted.

Though they make thoughtless remarks that today's rally is held at the instigation of adults and with bribes, we are here on volition. Yoon regime must make an apology instead of suppressing freedom of speech of students. Yoon who is engrossing in political suppression and wielding a sword of retaliation against students must be given severe punishment, they denounced in the end.

5th Conference of Security Officers Held

Pyongyang, November 25 (KCNA) -- The 5th Conference of Security Officers took place in Pyongyang, the capital city of the DPRK, on November 19-23.


The Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) convened the grand meeting of security officers of the Republic to firmly guarantee the steady advance and development of the cause of the WPK by remarkably enhancing the functions and role of the security organ, the political security guard of the Party and the vanguard ranks of the class struggle, in line with the ever-changing situation of the revolution and the demands of the period of overall development of socialist construction to bring about a fresh turn in the struggle for defending the Party and the revolution in every way and protecting the ideology and social system of the country and the people's security.


The conference analyzed and reviewed in an in-depth and overall way the successes and experience gained in the past security work as well as lessons, and conducted discussion on the practical issues for bringing about a fundamental improvement in the overall security work.


Present at the conference were Pak Jong Chon, member of the Presidium of the Political Bureau and secretary of the C.C., WPK, Ri Chang Dae, minister of State Security, Pak Su Il, minister of Public Security, and U Sang Chol, director of the Central Public Prosecutors Office.


Also attending it were commanding officials and security officers of security organs at all levels including the Ministry of State Security and security organs in the armed forces sector.

POLICY SPEECH AT THE SEVENTH SESSION OF THE 14TH SUPREME PEOPLE’S ASSEMBLY OF THE DEMOCRATIC PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF KOREA- KIM JONG UN

 

Korean Folk Dance

 












The pictures above are from elegant, gorgeous and cheerful Korean folk dances with deep national characteristics.
The dances are made up of popular dancing movements which are unique to particular regions and easy to learn.
Korean folk dances are widely re-presented thanks to the policy of the Workers’ Party of Korea and the Government on conservation of the national cultural heritage.




Genuine Features of the Korean Society



                                                                     



Twenty-one people including 19 children were reported to have been killed in a gun-related violence at a primary school of Texas in the United States on May 24 last. Earlier, on May 19, there was an exchange of fire following a quarrel among teenagers in downtown Chicago, leaving two killed and eight others wounded.


In the meantime, completely contrary things happened in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. The country moved to the highest-level emergency anti-epidemic system after the malignant virus COVID-19 entered its territory. Many officials, working people and even students and children voluntarily donated food grains, money and medicines to families in difficult conditions. Such beautiful deeds of helping one another are commonplace in the DPRK.


In late 2020, two workers who had been badly burned in an accident were taken to the Hamhung City Hospital in the eastern part of the country. On hearing that skin grafting operations would be conducted, their relatives and colleagues rushed to the hospital. But they were late. Thirty-three doctors and nurses of the hospital had already grafted patches of their skin to the patients. None of them had known the two patients’ names or met them before.


In the DPRK, one can easily hear the phrases a large harmonious family or a large harmonious socialist family. These words mean that all the members of the society live with warm affection and tender feeling like family members.


In this country, if a mishap happens to someone, their neighbours, colleagues and even those who have never met them willingly help them. This is a trait of the Korean society.


This trait had already formed and spread across the country in what the Korean people call the Chollima era in the mid-20th century. The workers of a workteam in the then Kangson Steel Plant sincerely helped those who were lagging behind, in the course of which they brought about collective innovations, thus turning out 120 000 tons of rolled steel with a blooming mill with the annual rated capacity of 60 000 tons.


A woman worker of the then Pyongyang Silk Mill bestowed warm affection and tenderness on her fellow women workers who had poor skills to bring them up into skilled workers and labour innovators. She moved to other workteams three times so as to turn those that were lagging behind, into leading ones.


These examples rapidly spread across society, helping the people to understand that a beautiful and noble life is one which is dedicated to society and the collective and leading them to live such a life. The slogan which was most prevalent among the people in the era was “One for all and all for one!”


Thanks to the ruling Workers’ Party of Korea’s policy of putting forward those who display the ennobling mental and moral traits for society and the collective, the trait could be continued one century into the next.


The WPK set the transformation of man, nature and society as an important goal in building socialism. It is a consistent policy of the WPK to educate and lead those who lag behind and cause trouble, and make all the people live harmoniously and become patriots who devote themselves to the prosperity of the country.



This policy has been translated into reality, in the course of which many examples have been created. An unmarried young woman is looking after several orphans and numerous young people have volunteered to work in difficult and challenging sectors away from their homes.


Such deeds were found when the highest-level emergency anti-epidemic system was put in place in the country. Many doctors and nurses visited the households and patients under their charge before their ill children and husbands. Workers and officials of many factories worked day and night to send medicines and foodstuffs to the people who were suffering from the malignant disease. Some people disposed of their family property to prepare goods needed by those in hostels, students’ dormitories, orphanages and baby homes; and still some others selflessly shared their food grain, subsidiary foodstuffs and daily necessities with families and neighbours in need.


This can never be imagined in the capitalist society in which everyone cares nothing but themselves.


The society in which all people form an integrated whole and live with affection and love for others–this is the socialist society of the Korean style, which the Western media describes as a “human rights desert” and “hell.”

Kimchi, World's Health Food





Kimchi is a traditional food of the Korean nation. It is made through lactic fermentation of vegetables such as bok choy, radish and cucumber and edible herbs mixed with seasonings containing red pepper, shallot, garlic, ginger and other ingredients as well as fruit, fish and pickles.Here is Researcher Kim Kyong Il at the Folklore Institute under the Academy of Social Sciences.

  "Kimchi is a unique food of the nation and one of the typical side dishes the Korean people like more than any other side dishes. The Korean people considered kimchi to be indispensable in the diet. For this reason, they have kept the unique custom of eating kimchi all the time."

  Kimchi created by the Korean ancestors and handed down through generations is drawing the attention of the modern people as a world's health food.

  A foreign magazine gave a wide publicity to kimchi under the title "World's Best Health Food", saying: The Korean kimchi, a fermented food, is a low-fat health food with rich fibre. It has an abundance of Vitamins A, B complex and C and a lot of bacteria good for health, helping good digestion and arresting the growth of cancer cells.

  Kimchi helps the effective absorption of nutrient components in the rice, meat and fish. It gets more popular with each passing day for its refreshing flavour, unique aroma and nutritive and pharmacological value.

  In all parts of Pyongyang City there are stands selling kimchi produced at the Ryugyong Kimchi Factory. Very high is the people's demand for the products of the factory including whole bok choy kimchi, cubed radish kimchi and unseasoned kimchi.

 The Ryugyong Kimchi Factory was built into a model and standard unit of industrialization of kimchi of Korea at the proposal of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un and under his meticulous guidance.

  When he called at the factory for the second time in January Juche 106(2017), Kim Jong Un said: It is necessary to produce kimchi, a traditional food of the nation and one of the world's five health foods, as the food best in the world. The kimchi factory for the people should be the best in the world and perfect. Modern kimchi factories should be built in the provinces, too, with the Ryugyong Kimchi Factory as a model and standard.

  Thanks to his concern, modern kimchi factories have been built in all provinces and they are producing large quantities of kimchi of different kinds, making an active contribution to the improvement of the people's diet and the promotion of their health.

The Association For the Study of Songun Politics UK (ASSPUK) , the British Group for the Study of the Juche Idea(BGSJI), the Korean Friendship Association of the UK (KFA UK )  ,and the British Solidarity Committee for Peace and Reunification in Korea (BSCPRKP) issued a statement in support of the press statement of comrade Kim Yo Jong vice department director of the Central Committee(CC) of the Workers Party of Korea(WPK) that was issued on the 24th of November ;

On the 24th of November comrade Kim Yo Jong issued a press statement which strongly took issue with the stated intention of the south Korean puppets to try and impose  so-calle d'independent sanctions ' on People's Korea . This is indeed laughable because south Korea has no independence whatsover and south Korea is not in a position to impose sanctions on the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK ) . As comrade Kim Yo Jong  says  "Such frequent acts of the south Korean stooges dumbfound me".

Moreover , comrade Kim Yo Jong who is a forthright and straight talking person points out "If they think that they can escape from the present dangerous situation through "sanctions", they must be really idiots as they do not know how to live in peace and comfort."Indeed the south Korean puppet regime are complete and total idiots , they are out and out flunkeys and traitors to the Korean nation . We applaud comrade Kim Yo Jong for calling a spade a spade and not a shovel .

The south Korean people should rise up against the idiotic puppet regime of Yoon and overthrow it , if they want to live in peace .

Comrade Kim Yo Jong rightly says " We warn the impudent and stupid once again that the desperate sanctions and pressure of the U.S. and its south Korean stooges against the DPRK will add fuel to the latter's hostility and anger and they will serve as a noose for them"

We support the warning given by comrade Kim Yo Jong  . The south Korean puppets should cease at once their provocations against People's Korea and abandon silly schemes for sanctions and the like against the DPRK .
