London 11th of July 2026
The  British Group for the Study of the Juche Idea (BGSJI ), the Korean Friendship Association of the UK (KFA UK )  ,issued the following joint statement denouncing the holding of RIMPAC 2026;

Recently we learnt the so-called "Pacific Rim " (RIMPAC) aggressive war exercise started on the 24th of June and will last until the 31st of July , a duration of 5 weeks .
  

 We denounce the RIMPAC aggressive exercises of the US imperialists against the Democratic Peoples' Republic of Korea 

  RIMPAC is an aggressive exercise which targets the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK ) and is aimed at intimidating and bullying People's Korea into submission . 

 The  RIMPAC joint military exercises are in pursuance of the U.S. imperialists' aggression policy to attain its scenario of stifling the DPRK by blockading it from the sea. The exercises are part of a premeditated plan by the US to not only stifle independent Juche socialism by force but to dominate and control the whole Asia-Pacific region.

  RIMPAC involves a total of 31  countries and will include a total of 30 ships , 5 submarines , 30,000 troops and 206 aircraft as well as 15 national land forces .  . This goes to prove that the US imperialists are intensifying the hostile policy against People's Korea 

  . The RIMPAC exercises have assembled a so -called multi-national "coalition " to attack and crush the DPRK. It includes the US imperialists and south Korean puppets as well as NATO countries plus reactionary regimes in the Asia-Pacific such as  Brunei, Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines .Israel is also joining the exercises  

RIPAC started  the day before the 76th anniversary of the provocation of the Korean War against he DPRK and is  very reminiscent of the so-called UN forces in the last Korean war which consisted of the satellite states of US imperialism. Any state participating in RIMPAC in joining hands in the anti DPRK moves of the US imperialists as well helping US imperialism in its strategy to control the Asia-Pacific region.

We denounce the British government for acting as  a puppet of the US by sending British forces to participate .

NO TO RIMPAC 2026 !

London 11th July 2026

 The British Group for the Study of the Juche Idea (BGSJI) and  the  Korean Friendship Association of the UK( KFA UK)  issued the following joint statement in support of the press statement of  the spokesman of the Foreign Ministry of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK ) which was issued on Saturday 11th of July concerning the recent NATO summit ;

Recently , NATO , an aggressive war alliance of Western imperialism held a summit in Turkey at which the US , Japan and ROK(south Korea ) held their own meeting on the sidelines of the summit and called for the "complete denuclearisation " of the DPRK despite the fact that the DPRK has rejected this dozens of times. The secretary general of NATO expressed the intention of NATO to interfere in the Asia-Pacific region and confront other countries.

The Foreign Ministry of the DPRK press statement rejected the interference of NATO in the Asia -Pacific region and expressed  "serious concern over the fact that the U.S. and its vassal allies are adding an element of instability to the international situation through massive arms buildup, while being so engrossed in the unfounded and malicious politically-motivated denunciation of sovereign states and the strengthening of a military bloc of aggressive nature"

As to the so-called "denunclearisation of the DPRK " , the DPRK's status as a nuclear power is irreversible .

The press statement of the DPRK Foreign Ministry rightly draws attention to the efforts of imperialist Japan and the fascist ROK to acquire nuclear weapons . It would truly be a disaster for mankind if both of these states ever became nuclear powers . As the DPRK Foreign Ministry statement says it should be a priority for Japan and the ROK to denuclearise not the DPRK.

The DPRK will continue to take measures to defend its sovereignty .

We support the press statement of the DPRK Foreign Ministry . We believe that NATO should keep out of Asia where it does not belong!
NATO Out of Asia !

No the nuclearisation of Japan and the ROK !

Press Statement of DPRK Foreign Ministry Spokesperson

Pyongyang, July 11 (KCNA) -- A spokesman of the DPRK Foreign Ministry issued the following press statement on Saturday:

At the recent NATO summit, the U.S. and its vassal forces denounced the DPRK's exercise of its just sovereign right as a "threat", and more openly showed their intention for inter-camp confrontation through the NATO's arms buildup and the intensified military cooperation with their Asia-Pacific allies.

The U.S., Japan and the ROK had a separate confab, at which they talked about "complete denuclearization of the DPRK" and "response to cyber threat". And the secretary general of NATO expressed the intention to intensify NATO's interference in the affairs of the Asia-Pacific region, maliciously finding fault with the normal development of relations among sovereign states including the DPRK.

The U.S.-led NATO allies and their partners incited the confrontation throughout the NATO summit. This clearly proved that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization is a war and confrontation body that goes against the international peace and security in all parts of the world, including the Asia-Pacific region and the European region, while pursuing exclusive geopolitical interests.

The Foreign Ministry of the DPRK expresses serious concern over the fact that the U.S. and its vassal allies are adding an element of instability to the international situation through massive arms buildup, while being so engrossed in the unfounded and malicious politically-motivated denunciation of sovereign states and the strengthening of a military bloc of aggressive nature, and strongly condemns and rejects it.

"The DPRK's denuclearization" is an agenda which reached an irreversible and final conclusion both theoretically and practically.

The U.S., Japan and the ROK's call for "denuclearization", which completely lost the timeliness and practical feasibility, can never affect the position of the DPRK, and the reality faced by the forces who have denied it for decades is a sufficient answer to this.

The concept of denuclearization should be applied on a priority basis to the attempts of Japan and the ROK to go nuclear by themselves in an extremely dangerous phase under the active patronage of the U.S. and to the ambition for nuclear confrontation of NATO member states sharing the U.S. nukes.

NATO is systematically exacerbating the security environment of Europe through the implementation of its reckless easternward advance policy and expansion of its support for the neo-Nazi forces to maintain illegal justification for its existence which should have been extinct with the end of the Cold War, and creating instability in the Asia-Pacific region by shifting its responsibility on to other countries. Its provocative moves can never be overlooked.

The reckless acts of the confrontation forces posing a destructive threat to the world security mechanical structure give a realistic justification to the renewal and expansion of the physical deterrent to confront them.

The DPRK will reliably defend the national sovereignty and security interests and the regional peace and stability by building up at an accelerated pace the strength capable of deterring the enemy countries' ever-increasing attempt for collective confrontation and their military threats and exercising its sovereignty in a responsible manner. -0-

Let Us Guarantee Victorious Advance of Revolution by Strong and Sound Order and Strict Legal Discipline Report on Joint Meeting of Party, Government and Army of DPRK

Pyongyang, July 11 (KCNA) -- The Workers' Party of Korea and the DPRK are carrying out the most righteous mission and great historic cause, taking full responsibility for the destiny and future of the people. Their prestige and mightiness are based on the strict national law and strong and sound discipline system.

The Ninth Congress of the WPK put forward it as the foremost requirement of the times to ensure the complete unity of action and establish the strong discipline in socialist construction as a whole. And the state law of the DPRK is directing the spearhead of resolute struggle against the acts of exercising privilege, abusing power and resorting to illegalities and corruption which destroy the basis of the Korean revolution and erode socialist state system.

A joint meeting of the Party, the government and the army took place in Pyongyang on July 10 to give a warning to all sorts of anti-revolutionary, anti-socialist, anti-people acts going against the trend of the times when the whole Party and the entire people are going all out for implementing the decisions of the Party congress, and signify the intensified high-intensity struggle.

The respected Comrade 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, attended the joint meeting.

Present at the meeting were senior officials of the Party, government and armed forces organs, commanding officers of the Korean People's Army units at all levels, leading officials of the ministries, national agencies, Party and power organs and major industrial establishments and officials in the discipline inspection sector and law enforcement organs.

Put on the agenda at the meeting was the issue of drawing a serious lesson from the crimes committed by corrupt elements in the political organ of the People's Army who were engrossed in high-profile irregularities and corruption.

The joint meeting informed the participants of the data exposing high-profile irregularities and corruption committed by Pak Hui Chol, former vice-director in charge of organizational affairs of the General Political Bureau of the People's Army, and his followers.

The Central Military Commission of the WPK took a measure in late June to bring a charge of irregularities and corruption against Pak Hui Chol and investigate him.

Pursuant to the measure, the Second Plenary Meeting of the Ninth Central Committee of the WPK decided to dismiss him from the Party central leadership body and refer him to a law enforcement organ.

The highest law enforcement organ of the DPRK examined the crimes of the accused, who engaged in acquiring ill-gotten wealth by various means while holding an important post in the political organ of the People's Army, and accomplices who catered to his heinous irregularities and corruption.

All the crimes committed by the accused were clearly proved by objective evidence at the trial.

The accused Pak Hui Chol committed scandals and illegally acquired wealth by abusing his power of arranging organizational work and appointing cadres, seriously betraying the trust and expectation of the Party Central Committee and the people and challenging the Party's line of strengthening discipline. He exerted a very harmful influence on strengthening the ranks of cadres of the People's Army in a qualitative way, enhancing its fighting efficiency and establishing sound military traits by receiving a large amount of bribes and leading a dissipated life.

During the past four years when he had been in a responsible post of the political organ, he created special illusions about him while being engrossed in all sorts of abuses of authority and arbitrariness, and received a large amount of bribes from dishonest elements obsessed with greed and thirst for a high post.

He fostered the acts of buying and selling posts, receiving bribes and committing political fraud in the army and seriously hindered the establishment of the Party's monolithic command system across the entire army by appointing his confidants and toadies to important posts.

He neglected every affair related with the implementation of the Party's command policy across the entire army by plundering the maximum amount of state funds, materials and dwelling houses and squandering them in dissolute and depraved life.

Pak Hui Chol's scandals are extra-large crimes that go beyond imagination in view of their dangerousness and harmfulness.

As a result of the strict struggle against scandal, our army came to be provided with a powerful motive force capable of removing the poison and evil practices lurking inside the military and political guidance organ at the right time and further renewing its militant prestige.

Through the serious political struggle, the People's Army has made a stride forward in making the entire army ideologically elite. The reality proved that the further the struggle against scandals is intensified, the stronger the army becomes, the cleaner its purity becomes and the deeper the trust of the Party and the people in the heroic strong army becomes.

The participants in the meeting realized once again the necessity and urgency of observing the strict political and moral discipline and intensifying the uncompromising struggle, which have defended the qualitative growth and firm union of the revolutionary ranks, in the present important historical course.

A verdict on the accused was issued.

The Supreme Court of the DPRK sharply condemned extra-large scandal corrupt elements for their crimes and imposed penalties on them.

Comrade Kim Jong Un made an important concluding speech.

The essence of the recent case lies in the fact that the person in a responsible position, who has heavy duty and authority to contain, detect and eradicate such an act as illicit accumulation of wealth so despised by the Party and the people, abused the authority as a weapon for his own interests and emerged as the chief culprit of irregularities and corruption, Comrade Kim Jong Un said, stating that this is a political crime against the Party's line of building discipline and a deliberate act of embezzlement and plunder against the interests of the state and the people.

Seriously pointing to the gravity of this high-profile corruption that occurred when our Party declared an all-out war against the abuse of power, bureaucratism and irregularities and corruption and has steadily enhanced the intensity of the struggle, he cautioned the discipline inspection units at all levels.

Saying it is a lesson taught by the recent case that if we fail to steadily intensify education and control to prevent the officials from getting contaminated with irregularities and corruption and abandoning Party principles, it is impossible to prevent such wrongdoings, he stressed that all the officials should keep principle and uprightness as their lifeblood and should be mindful of the Party's trust and think of the people first.

Comrade Kim Jong Un clarified the solemn stand of the Party Central Committee to steadily enhance the intensity of the organizational and ideological offensive for transforming the ranks of cadres into an elite and the legal struggle for rooting out irregularities and corruption.

The joint meeting strongly signaled that there is no place for irregularities and corruption harmful to the developing revolution and the elements infected by them to exist. And it re-expressed the unshakable will of the Workers' Party of Korea and the DPRK government to proactively and positively suppress and repel all sorts of corruption and violations of discipline and thus open up a new phase of building a ruling party, strong and sound in discipline and full of a vital revolutionary climate, and dynamically accelerate the building of a powerfu

Crime of Japan, Sworn Enemy of Korean Nation

Pyongyang, July 10 (KCNA) -- Before and after the defeat of the Japanese imperialists, many Koreans were killed by sinking of Japanese ships.

The explosion of Ukishima-maru was one of them. After the liberation of the country from Japan's colonial rule (August 15, 1945), Koreans, who were compelled to forced labor in Japan, got aboard the ship with a desire to return to their homeland where their parents, brothers, sisters, wives and children were waiting. But they were buried in the sea all at once by the explosion of the ship.

On August 22, 1945, the Japanese naval transport ship Ukishima-maru anchored at Ominato naval port in Aomori Prefecture, Japan.

At that time, thousands of Koreans, who had toiled and moiled at coal mines and construction sites in the surrounding areas, gathered at the port to return to their homeland.

They, deceived by the propaganda of the Japanese navy gendarmes who said that Ukishima-maru was tasked to repatriate Koreans, got aboard the ship.

That night, the ship left the port and sailed to the south along the coastline of Japan. On August 24 when it reached the vicinity of Maizuru Port in Kyoto Prefecture, the gendarmes veered the ship to the port on the pretext of filling up water.

Suddenly, loud explosive sounds were heard several times and the ship was sunk, broken in two, in the water some 300 meters off from the coastline of Maizuru Port and the Koreans were buried in the sea at once.

After the incident, the Japanese reactionaries claimed that the ship was sunk by a mine, but it was a sophism to conceal their crimes.

The facts that the Japanese imperialists took the Koreans on board by appeasing and compelling them and loaded the ship with little amount of fuel and the Japanese sailors and gendarmes escaped by lifeboats go to prove that the incident was not an accident caused by a mine but a planned crime.

The explosion of Ukishima-maru, widely known to the world, is a deliberate massacre committed by the Japanese government under its plan to kill Koreans. -0-

First Enlarged Meeting of Ninth WPK Central Military Commission Held

Pyongyang, July 10 (KCNA) -- The First Enlarged Meeting of the Ninth Central Military Commission of the Workers' Party of Korea was held on July 9.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea, Chairman of the WPK Central Military Commission and President of the State Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, guided the meeting.

Present there were members of the WPK Central Military Commission and, as observers, major commanding officers of the Ministry of National Defence, military and political commanding officers of the large combined units at all levels of the Korean People's Army and officials of relevant departments of the WPK Central Committee.

The meeting discussed important political and military tasks for bolstering up the politico-ideological and military technical might of the People's Army and bringing about a qualitative change in strengthening the combat readiness of the army units at all levels since the strategic orientation, goals and policies for building the armed forces to reflect the present military and political situation and the requirements of the times were set forth at the Ninth Congress of the WPK and the Second Plenary Meeting of the Ninth Central Committee of the WPK.

Saying that the prestige, honor and destiny of socialist Korea are unthinkable apart from the powerful defence capabilities, Comrade Kim Jong Un stated that the security and peace of the country and the people can not be defended with the willingness alone and that only when we build the strong army and control all and contain threats with its powerful strength, is it possible to achieve the true peace.

The People's Army should invariably play a leading and core role not only in defending socialism but also in the struggle for comprehensive development of the state, he stressed, saying that the far-reaching plan and confidence in the future struggle are based on the absolute trust in our army.

He declared that it is our Party's steadfast policy on building a powerful army to turn the People's Army into a strong army united as one in mind sharing the ideas and intention with the Party Central Committee and to develop it into invincible armed forces by steadily strengthening its politico-ideological mightiness and spiritual-moral superiority and military technical superiority.

Stressing the need to thoroughly put the People's Army on a field warfare and modern basis and enhance its actual war capability, he advanced the important tasks facing the army units at all levels.

The meeting decided on the issue for upgrading the technical infrastructure of combat systems, bolstering up the nuclear force both in quality and quantity and pushing ahead with the plan for standardizing, specializing and modernizing military bases in a far-sighted way. And it confirmed the specific orientation and ways for bringing about a substantial change in training sector and putting spurs to the revolution in military education.

The meeting suggested tasks and ways for expanding in a many-sided way the functions and missions of the General Reconnaissance and Intelligence Bureau, which plays a pivotal role in controlling the potential enemies' threats and gathering key information, and enhancing its capability of military reconnaissance and intelligence activities in a radical way.

The meeting also confirmed the direction of activities of the People's Army and its detailed tasks to accelerate the construction of modern naval bases and the technical updating for expanding the capacity of shipyards at all levels in keeping with the start of signal transformation in our Navy's position and role and to accomplish the great historic cause for completely remodeling the coal-mining areas across the country. And it discussed a structural measure for implementing them and a proposal for mobilizing troops.

Saying it is the greatest trust and honor given by the times and the revolution to the People's Army that it is entrusted with the important projects, decisive of the state development and existence, Comrade Kim Jong Un stressed that the whole army should be inspired to turn out in proving once again before history that it is the trait and fighting mettle peculiar to our army to make greater and more vigorous stride of loyalty and feats as the struggle front becomes wider and larger.

Comrade Kim Jong Un signed seven written orders on the important military measures, discussed and decided at the Party Central Military Commission.

The meeting conveyed the directive of the WPK Central Military Commission on the immediate military structural measure.

The meeting dealt with the organizational matter of dismissing, transferring and newly appointing leading officers for key posts of the People's Army.

The important military measures, discussed and decided at the First Enlarged Meeting of the Ninth Central Military Commission of the Workers' Party of Korea, serve as a significant practical step for giving great impetus to the struggle for implementing the WPK's line of building a powerful army on turning the DPRK's armed forces into the strongest one in the world and remarkably enhancing the combat power, activity and leading role of our army in defending socialism and in all spheres of socialist construction. -0-
