Chairman of DPRK Red Cross Society Sends Notice to President of S. Korean Red Cross

   Pyongyang, April 28 (KCNA) -- The chairman of the Central Committee of the Red Cross Society of the DPRK Thursday sent the following notice to the president of the Red Cross of south Korea:
    We have strongly urged your authorities more than once to disclose the truth behind the group allurement and abduction of citizens of the DPRK by gangsters of the Intelligence Service of your side in Zhejiang Province, China in broad daylight and to immediately and unconditionally send the abductees back and sternly punish or hand over to the inviolable court of the DPRK side those involved in the abduction.
    A particular mention should be made of the fact that I sent through media a notice in which I requested your side to take immediate technical measures for the families of the abductees to go to Seoul via Panmunjom to have face-to-face meetings with their daughters and confirm their will, as your authorities unreasonably assert that what happened recently was "group defection from the north at free will".
    But your authorities categorically turned down our just request to have the earnest wish of the families of victims realized, while talking about "international practice."
    We cannot but view this otherwise than a mean and childish act to prevent the truth behind the premeditated and organized group abduction from being revealed.
    We know details of how the gangsters of the Intelligence Service of your side worked out a scenario from the beginning to lure and take the innocent citizens of the DPRK to south Korea and put it into practice, and have evidence proving the crime.
    The evil-minded agents of the Intelligence Service of your side, in conspiracy with brokers in China, allured and abducted the group of citizens of the DPRK in the most base and vicious manner to take them to south Korea. This hideous unprecedented crime against humanity has touched off towering indignation of the public at home and abroad.
    What is all the more intolerable is that your authorities separately put the abductees in custody in solitary rooms and are pressurizing them into "defection" by employing all possible means of appeasement, deception, threat and blackmail while keeping them strictly away from the outside.
    Our citizens are now on hunger strike, strongly demanding their prompt return to their motherland. Some of the girls have fallen in a faint.
    We cannot but ask if this is "humanitarianism" and "defence of human rights" often touted by your side.
    A big question is for what reason they have been detained in solitary rooms, kept away from the outside and prevented from expressing their own will if they had gone to south Korea at "their free will".
    Your side is preventing parents from meeting their children under the pretext of "international practice." This is the height of inhumanity.
    It is universally accepted international practice and humanitarianism to ensure the earliest possible reunion between parents and children who had been separated from each other against their will.
    Your side does not have any reason whatsoever to refuse to meet the just demand of the DPRK to let the parents directly meet their children to know what they want.
    Your side has already completely lost face to talk about reunions of separated families and relatives as you divided their harmonious families by taking their beloved children from the embrace of their parents.
    We regard the Red Cross of your side's fence-sitting attitude towards the hideous group abduction as an inhumanitarian act of diametrically running counter to the noble spirit of Red Cross.
    We would like to remind your side of possible unimaginable and catastrophic consequences if the situation is allowed to go on.
    If the Red Cross of your side remains true to the humanitarian mission, it should play a role in making your authorities apologize for the allurement and abduction, unconditionally and immediately send back the abductees and sternly punish those involved in the monstrous crime.
    As an immediate step, we once again strongly demand your side take prompt technical measures to ensure that the families of the abductees meet their children face to face in Seoul.
    If your side persistently turns down our just demand, your side will have to be accountable for all ensuing serious consequences. -0-

CPRK Spokesman Demands S. Korean Regime Send Back DPRK Abductees

Pyongyang, April 28 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea (CPRK) in a statement on Thursday warned that if the south Korean puppet regime fails to send back group citizens of the DPRK allured and abducted by the Intelligence Service under its manipulation early in April, the DPRK will take a merciless counteraction.
    The statement said:
    No sooner had the incident occurred than the DPRK vehemently censured the brutal act of the puppet regime and strongly urged it to unconditionally send back the abductees without delay, severely punish or send those involved in the abducting operation to a sacred court of the DPRK and take prompt technical measures to help the families of the DPRK side meet their children face to face in Seoul.
    But the Park regime flatly turned down the just demand of the DPRK, terming it a "far-fetched assertion" and the abduction a "group defection made at free will" and spouting such sheer sophism that it "cannot accept the demand for face-to-face meeting of families in view of international practice."
    The above-said incident was a premeditated and organized group allurement and abduction Park Geun Hye perpetrated by hurling gangsters of the Intelligence Service to all intents and purposes.
    Under the direct instruction of Park, bandits of the IS, in conspiracy with an already bribed agent and brokers in China fooled and lured 12 gullible women citizens of the DPRK to a Southeast Asian country by telling them they were to tour the area for service as a new restaurant would be inaugurated in another country, and then let them take a flight to south Korea from there.
    When the abductees learned in the plane that it was flying to south Korea, not a third country, and demanded their return to their homeland, the gangsters of the IS deceived them by telling they should carry out a "special task" and took them to south Korea in a forcible manner.
    The Park regime is putting pressure upon them to "defect" by employing all base and heinous methods such as appeasement, deception, threat and blackmail after keeping them in solitary confinement and imposing a news blackout, etc., so that they are kept away from any contact with outside.
    The abductees of the DPRK are now staging a hunger strike in demand of immediate repatriation and some young girls are in a critical condition after falling in a faint.
    What should not be overlooked is that the puppet forces are talking volumes about the DPRK citizens' "skepticism about social system in the north" and their "admiration" at south Korea.
    The DPRK citizens abducted by the puppet forces have no ground whatsoever to defect to south Korea by abandoning their native places and parents, brothers and sisters.
    It is a sheer lie that they are "admiring" south Korea, a veritable hell torn with appalling confusion, as they translated their dreams and ideals into realities under the best social system centered on the popular masses in the DPRK.
    Now that the puppet forces produced "new divided families" through allurement and abduction, they should not even dream of talking about the reunion of separated families and relatives and solution to humanitarian issues.
    The Park group, keen on confrontation, bereft of reason, far from judging the grave consequences to be entailed by its crimes, had better drop far-fetched assertion to justify its inhuman abduction and stop at once its gangster-like act and unconditionally and immediately send back the innocent abductees.
    It should take prompt technical measures to enable the families of the victims to go to Seoul and meet their daughters face to face and bring them back home as unanimously demanded by them. -0

DPRK Foreign Ministry Blasts U.S. New "Sanctions Doctrine

  Pyongyang, April 27 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the Foreign Ministry of the DPRK gave the following answer to a question raised by KCNA Wednesday as the U.S. has come out with new "sanctions doctrine":
    Officials of the U.S. administration including those of the Treasury Department have suggested so-called "sanctions doctrine" to ratchet up the sanctions and pressure on other countries.
    Throughout history the U.S., regarding sanctions as a major means for pursuing its foreign policy for aggression, deliberately wielded a sanctions stick against those countries and people disobedient to it in defiance of international law, thereby inflicting untold pain and misfortune upon them.
    The "sanctions doctrine" advocated by the U.S. is the evil "doctrine" that can be produced only in the U.S., the hotbed of high-handed and arbitrary practices, as it is a collection of mean methods for bringing into submission those countries and their people courting its displeasure.
    The gap between the rich and the poor is widening and the social inequality and conflict are festering with each passing day and people suffer from unemployment and economic difficulty. Moreover, innocent people fall victim to shooting sprees for the mere reason that they hurt one's feelings. This is daily occurrence in the U.S.
    It is ridiculous for the U.S. to invent the "sanctions doctrine" to impose pain on others, far from minding its own business.
    It is foolhardy for the daily declining U.S. to resort to sanctions against other countries. What matters here is that the U.S. sanctions have become a root cause of unreasonable pressure, inequality, tensions and stand-off in the international relations.
    Countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America hit by U.S. sanctions stick should destroy the cesspool of high-handed and arbitrary practices in unity in order to stop the bigger disaster that may be caused by the evil "doctrine". -0-

Ryomyong Street

Another street, Ryomyong Street will be built in Pyongyang, the capital of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.

The site of Ryomyong Street is the meaningful place where Kumsusan Palace of the Sun in which President Kim Il Sung and Сhairman Kim Jong Il lay in state, and Ryongnam Hill on which Chairman Kim Jong Il took a historical oath to add luster to Korea, entering Kim Il Sung University in September Juche 49(1960).

Marshal Kim Jong Un who came to the site where Ryomyong Street will be built in March Juche 105(2016), looking at Kumsusan Palace of the Sun and Ryongnam Hill where Kim Il Sung University situated, instructed to name the street the Ryomyong Street as the street will be built in such a significant place where the dawn break in the Korean revolution.

The main project of Ryomyong Street is to construct the apartment buildings for the educators, scientists and researchers of the Kim Il Sung University, and public buildings and service facilities such as nursery, kindergarten, laundry, post-office and so on.

In order to build Ryomyong Street into a energy-saving street, a green street of 21^st century, we are going to supply lighting and heating with solar light, geothermal heating and natural light and to fit the greenhouse on the roof of buildings.

Now, DPRK is channeling all its national efforts to the construction of the apartment buildings for scientists and researchers.

DPRK have already built Unha Scientists Street in Juche 102(2013), Wisong Scientists Dwellings District in Juche 103(2014) and Mirae Scientists Street in Juche 104 (2015).

To construct Ryomyong Street within 2016, Marshal Kim Jong Un dispatched soldiers who had built Mirae Scientists Street by order of the Supreme Commander of Korean People’s Army and took a measure to assist the construction in the whole Party, the whole state and the whole society.

Marshal Kim Jong Un said that the construction of Ryomyong Street is not a simple construction of a street but a political event which shows mettle of the DPRK dashing up towards the world even under all kinds of embargoes and pressures by US imperialists and their followers, the appearance of the DPRK translating the greatest desire of people into reality, and the fact that we can do anything once we determined to do, and boast of living better in our own way.

Service personnel and people of the DPRK will build a wonderful edifice demonstrating the power of a socialist Korea and our Party’s policies of giving priority to the science and the talented, regarding it as fierce battle against US imperialists and their followers.

Powerful Nuclear Deterrent Power of the DPRK

In March Juche 105(2016) Scientists and technicians in the national defense industry of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea succeeded in standardizing nuclear bomb suitable with the ballistic missile by lightening it and to Ballistic Rocket’s Re-entry Environmental Simulation.

The more the nuclear strike capability is powerful, the better the power to deter the aggression and the nuclear war is strong.

Furthermore the DPRK stands against the USA, the chieftain of aggression, which is advocating “Theory of all-purpose nuclear” and so the powerful nuclear attack capability is important mean to remove the danger of nuclear war in Korean peninsula and clear off the fiery clouds of the nuclear war on the head of Korean nation.

The USA regards their country as the refuge, which is far away across the Pacific from Korean Peninsula.

As a matter of fact the USA invaded many countries and nations after the Civil War occurred in 19^th century, but there is no bomb fallen on their land.

They believe the geographical fortune as forever and are steep in nuclear threats and blackmail to Korean nation through centuries bringing all kinds of murderous means for nuclear war in Korean Peninsula.

By dint of self-reliance and self-development the DPRK has proudly acquired the re-entry technology of the ballistic rocket which carries nuclear warhead to the strategic target of attack safely to put the end to despotism of haughty aggressors and gangster-like warmongers who sways nuclear weapon recklessly.

The might of nuclear strike means of the DPRK is needless to argue scientifically and technologically and it is their military strength and dignity.

Now the land of the USA is never the refuge.

The large tract of land can be changed into the tomb area of ruin uncovered by nuclear attack capability of DPRK.

The DPRK are producing in a serial way the new type large-calibre multiple launch rockets which the US imperialism and south Korean puppet regard as “more dangerous thing than missile” and tremble with fear.

They have possessed the system of new anti-tank guided weapon which makes into boiled pumpkin enemy tanks and armored cars covered with special complex armor and developed in mobility and strike power by the range, rate of hits and the capability to blow the armor out and destroy in maximum level.

The DPRK could manufacture advanced strategic weapon and H-bomb in unprecedented plots of the hostile forces to stifle and isolate by upholding a new strategic line of simultaneously building the economy and nuclear force and the principle of giving priority to self-development

Guiding the production of nuclear weapon in March Juche105 (2016) Marshal Kim Jong Un instructed that the more the nuclear strike capability is powerful, the better the nuclear deterrent power is great and to firmly strengthen the nuclear forces in quality and quantity is the right and reliable way for preventing the disasters of nuclear war on this land.

And he declared that the right of a nuclear-first-strike is not an exclusive property of the USA and he will attack first if the US imperialists infringe upon our sovereignty and the right to live with the nuclear.

The DPRK will consolidate independent deterrent power to the war and nuclear more firmly as long as the US continues to threat with nuclear and the reckless moves for a war provocation to stifle the DPRK militarily are conducted by the US and south Korean puppet.

THE STOKE ON TRENT BRANCH OF THE JUCHE IDEA STUDY GROUP OF BRITAIN GREETS THE 7TH CONGRESS OF THE WORKERS' PARTY OF KOREA

The members and supporters of the Stoke On Trent Branch of the Juche Idea Study Group of Britain take this opportunity to greet the delegates to the 7th Congress of the Glorious Workers' Party of Korea. At this congress of the WPK, important and significant decisions will be taken on the heroic road of transforming the DPRK into a thriving socialist nation, a country strong in ideological power, strong in economic  power, strong in military power and in sports power. The Party and People of the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea are united single heartedly around the WPK's First Secretary Comrade KIM JONG UN. 

The Workers' Party of Korea was born out of the anti-imperialist struggle of the Korean people, during the 1920s and 1930s. Overcoming sectarianism and dogmatism, the Great Comrade KIM IL SUNG founded The Down-With-Imperialism Union on October 17th, 1926. The Great Leader Comrade KIM IL SUNG was able to put the Korean Communist Movement on the victorious path of Juche and Songun, in the 1930s and 1940s.  Comrade KIM IL SUNG, on October 10th proclaimed the establishment of the Workers' Party of Korea to the world, the guiding force of the Korean people. Thus came into being the revolutionary party that inherited the glorious anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle and took the Juche Idea as its invariable guiding idea. With the WPK as its vanguard party, the Korean people were able to triumph in the Anti-Imperialist, Anti-Feudal Democratic Revolution, defeat US imperialism during the Korean War and built the Socialist society.

The Great Comrade KIM JONG IL work tirelessly for the cause of consolidating  the Workers' Party of Korea as the revolutionary party of Juche, since he began work at the WPK Central Committee on June 19th, 1964. Comrade KIM JONG IL put forward the task of modelling the whole society on the Juche Idea and energetically led the work for its implementation. The proclamation of the programme of modelling DPRK society on the Juche Idea was an historic declaration of the birth of a great programme of a revolutionary party to accomplish the cause of human independence. Through both his theoretical and practical activities, Comrade KIM JONG IL, build the Workers Party of Korea into an invincible socialist party, standing forever for the working people's interests. That is why the Great Leader Comrade KIM JONG IL is regarded by  the Korean People as the Eternal General Secretary of the Glorious Workers' Party of Korea, always bringing  victories to the revolutionary cause of Juche.

 The First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, Comrade KIM JONG UN, formulated the revolutionary ideology of Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism, which is a theory in keeping with the present era.  Comrade KIM JONG UN put forward the principles of Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism as being an integral whole of the Juche Idea, and theory and method of the revolution and construction clarified by this ideology. Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism is the people-centred ideology that regards the working masses as the most precious and powerful beings in the world. Under the leadership of The First Secretary KIM JONG UN, today the DPRK is speeding up the building of a socialist thriving nation. The Korean people scored many achievements during the 70 day campaign leading up to the WPK congress, and have already constructed such edifices as the Masikryong Ski Resort, the Mirim Riding Club, the Munsu Water Park, the Mirae Scientists Street and the Sci-tech Complex. Due to the leadership of Marshal KIM JONG UN, during the first half of 2016, the DPRK was able to conduct a successful Hydrogen Bomb test and the launch of the earth observational  satellite Kwangmyongsong-4.

Over the course of its seven decades of existence, the Workers' Party of Korea has always been loyal to the principles of proletarian internationalism and to the anti-imperialist cause. The WPK has consistently campaigned for the unity of the International Communist Movement and of the revolutionary parties, with the adoption of the Pyongyang Declaration in April, 1992. The Workers' Party of Korea has been in the vanguard in the struggle against bourgeois ideologies, modern revisionism, dogmatism and ultra-leftism. The Korean Communists have invariably upheld the concepts of self-reliance and living our own way, during the course of the revolution and construction in the DPRK.

The Stoke On Trent Branch of the Juche Idea Study Group regards the 7th Congress of the Workers' Party of Korea as being a truly epochal event, when the final victory of socialism will be assured in the DPRK. The 7th Congress of the WPK will contribute to the progress of human independence and peace, and will be supported by all progressive peoples throughout the world. Our Branch calls upon all Communists and Socialists, Progressives and Anti-Imperialists in Britain to add their solidarity with the revolutionary cause of the Korean Party and People. Only victories and glories are in store for the Korean people under the leadership of the Workers' Party of Korea, guided by the Dear Respected First Secretary KIM JONG UN.

LONG LIVE THE DEAR RESPECTED COMRADE KIM JONG UN!

LONG LIVE THE GLORIOUS WORKERS' PARTY OF KOREA!

GLORY TO THE 7TH CONGRESS OF THE WPK!

LONG LIVE KIMILSUNGISM-KIMJONGILSIM!

Speech on the Korean Peoples Army delivered to the 02.04.2016 Meeting of the ASSPUK and JISGE

The Korean People's Army is known and admired across the world. It has won many victories in its acute confrontation with the United States. The Korean people’s army has firmly defended socialism and the building of a great, prosperous and powerful nation, since the founding of the DPRK.

The Korean people’s army was founded originally as the Anti Japanese Peoples Guerrilla Army, in 1932, by the great leader comrade Kim Il Sung and it developed into the Korean People's Revolutionary Army. Kim II Sung was the founder of the Korean people’s army and was its legendary commander. Kim Il Sung advanced Juche-oriented military ideas, thereby smashing bourgeois military theories, which centre on weaponry. Kim Il Sung’s military ideas are centred on soldiers. He put forward the idea that the masses of soldiers are the most powerful beings. He stressed that soldiers are the decisive factor for victory in war, and that they can emerge victorious against any formidable enemy if they fight with confidence in their strength. By drawing on these ideas, he defeated the one-million-strong Japanese army through a 15-year-long armed struggle and achieved the historic cause of national liberation on August 15, 1945. 

The next military conflict the Korean people’s army fought in was the Victorious Fatherland Liberation War. On the 25th June 1950, in the early hours of the morning, South Korean puppet troops invaded the DPRK. Within three days of the outbreak of war, the People's Army of North Korea had driven back the South Korean invaders and liberated Seoul. The speed of the Korean people’s army’s advance is unparalleled in military history and shows that the great leader comrade Kim Il Sung was a gifted military strategist. The Korean War would drag on until the 27 July 1953, where the US was forced to sign the armistice agreement. The United States was forced to accept that it could not defeat socialist Korea, despite its threats of nuclear war and the use of biological weapons, the Korean people’s army stood steadfast in defending socialism in Korea under the wise and brilliant leadership of the great leader comrade Kim Il Sung.

The next major development in the history of the Korean People’s army occurred On February 6, 1963, when Il Sung who was inspecting the frontline on Mt. Taedok set forth the militant slogan, “a-match- for-a-hundred”. The slogan of a-match-for-a-hundred requires that each soldier should be prepared to face a hundred enemies not only in defense but also in attack. The content of the slogan is not just confined to defense; it means that each soldier of the People’s Army should become a match for a hundred in attack as well as in defensive battle.

During the later years of the 1960s US imperialists had been making the situation on the Korean peninsula extremely tense. They caused this to occur by provoking the Panmunjom shooting incident in April 1967 and ordering an intrusion into the DPRK’s territorial waters by the armed spy ship USS Pueblo, in January 1968. In 1969, there were more provocative acts by the US, which included the spy plane, EC-121, entering DPRK territorial air space. This situation caused the Korean peninsula to be on the brink of war.

 Comrade Kim Jong Il, immediately ordered that Korea's revolutionary armed forces were to be strengthened and ensured that the KPA became a strong and powerful army, capable of destroying any imperialist aggressor. The Korean people’s army defeated the imperialistic war moves of the US because it is equipped with the Juche-oriented methods of warfare. These methods were created by Kim II Sung and take into account the topographical features of Korea and the requirements of modern warfare.  

At the end of the last century the Soviet Union and other socialist countries in East Europe collapsed. However, socialist Korea stood firm because it is supported by the Korean people’s army led by supreme commander Kim Jong Il. Under the Songun idea the Korean people’s army defends the Korean revolution and guides socialist construction. Even during the period of the Arduous march, when the imperialist forces were directing sanctions against the DPRK, the Korean people’s army stood firm and increased its combat efficiency.

The order and discipline of the Korean people’s army is admired the world over. The source of the Korean people’s army’s successes is its unparalleled political and ideological might. All the soldiers trust their supreme commander and are firmly rallied behind him. Kim Il Sung created a well-regulated system whereby the entire army moves as one under the supreme commander's direction and all soldiers are prepared to lay down their lives to defend socialism and the supreme commander. The Korean people’s army is at the heart of DPRK society and there is a firm unity between the army and the people. The Korean people’s army believes that its mission is to serve the people. The people support the soldiers and regard them as revolutionary comrades, who would sacrifice their lives to defend the people centred socialist system.

The DPRK’s large defence industry means that Korean people’s army is one of the best equipped armies on the planet. The Korean people’s army is fully ready for both attack and defence. It possesses the latest equipment, ammunition and has the technological means to fight a modern war in the IT era. The DPRK even has its own independent nuclear deterrent and on January 6, 2016, the DPRK announced it had successfully conducted its first H bomb test.

History has demonstrated that the KPA has triumphed in the four dimensions of strategy. These four dimensions mean that modern warfare is conducted in four dimensions. There is the operational dimension, which pertains to how effectively a commander employs the forces at his disposal. The technological dimension of strategy refers to the quality of the equipment employed by a belligerent’s armed forces. Success in war also depends on the logistical dimension which is the capacity to bring the largest and best-equipped forces into the operational theatre and to maintain them there until victory is achieved. Finally, the social dimension is the attitude of the people upon whose commitment and readiness for self-denial, the logistical dimension depends.

Only a Songun based revolutionary army operating within a Juche society can successfully achieve these four dimensions. Only a meritocratic army like the KPA can succeed in the operational dimension because its officers are promoted on the basis of talent rather than wealth. This means that the KPA has some of the most talented officers in the world who understand how to fight and win wars against imperialism. This is the opposite of imperialist countries where senior officers are promoted on the basis of class and wealth rather than ability.

The KPA has succeeded in the logistical dimension because of President Kim Il Sung’s wise decision to industrialise the DPRK. This has meant that the DPRK is self sufficient in producing weapons. However, success was only achieved in the logistical dimension because of the social dimension.

This social dimension refers to the Korean people’s desire to work hard and produce war materials to allow the KPA to defend the DPRK. This desire to defend the DPRK comes from feeling the benefits of a socialist system. Indeed, the social dimension can only be fully achieved in a society based on single hearted unity, like the DPRK’s. The DPRK is the only country to fully realise the importance of the social dimension as it believes that people win wars and not weapons. This is the opposite of imperialist countries where the social dimension has been ignored, which creates apathetic soldiers who don’t understand why they are fighting. In the DPRK every soldier knows that he is helping to defend the DPRK and socialism against the hated US imperialist enemy.

Finally, the KPA has shown it’s self to be extremely competent in the technological dimension. This is demonstrated by the vast array of weapons the KPA possesses, including H bombs. The KPA has shown that by pursuing the correct strategy within a Juche based society any imperialist enemy can be defeated.        

The Korean people’s army is a true Juche orientated revolutionary armed force and is the army of the party, the working class and the leader. Under the wise leadership of Marshal Kim Jong Un the Korean people’s army will advance to further victories and will continue to be the central pillar of the revolution. So we Juche idea and Songun idea followers in the UK salute the great achievements of the heroic Korean People's Army under the command of marshal Kim Jong Un on the 84th anniversary of its foundation.
