                                       London 30th of May Juche 107(2018) 
 The Association for the Study of Songun Politics UK(ASSPUK), the Juche Idea Study Group of England (JISGE) ,the UK Korean Friendship Association(UK KFA) and the British Solidarity Committee for the Peace and Reunification in the Korean Peninsula(BSCPRKP) issued a statement condemning the outrageous lies of the BBC :
  The BBC ,also known as the British Brainwashing Corporation or the Biased Broadcasting Company , carried a report attacking People's Korea , which had a horrendous headline and slandered the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK .
    The report claimed falsely that there is dissatisfaction in the DPRK .
The report played the trick of trying to represent what were  actually , at best , second and third accounts as if they were first hand hand accounts . Two thirds of the way through the report it admitted that the information came from the notorious "Daily NK "  a south Korean anti-DPRK propaganda which is linked to the  US CIA and south Korean NIS as well  as ultra rightists , fascists and south Korean nazis .  It receives funding from the US government funded " National Endowment for Democracy  Even the south Korean "Unification Ministry " once criticized the "Daily NK " saying that the  " “flood of raw, unconfirmed reports” from organizations including Daily NK "complicates efforts to understand the North" . However the BBC is quite happy to present " raw and unconfirmed reports " as if they are first hand facts ! In fact the "Daily NK " is well known a centre for spreading false information about the DPRK .
    There is no such one thing as disunity or conflict in the DPRK  because the DPRK is a most stable and harmonious society without social conflict or class contradictions.There is no source of dissatisfaction in the DPRK because everyone has the right to work , to free medical car , to free education, to housing and taxation was abolished in 1974.
The DPRK is based on the Juche Idea , the philosophical principle of which is that man is the master .Thus because of the socialist ownership of the means of production which is both underpinned and enhanced by the Juche Idea , people in the DPRK have a high sense of ‘taking ownership’ of ‘stakeholding’ which does not exist in any capitalist country. Moreover politics in the DPRK are based on benevolence and trust ,the supreme principle of the party and the state is to improve living standard.
  This report from the BBC served not only to smear the DPRK in the eyes of the British public and tarnish its reputation but also has a more sinister agenda to try and foster "regime change " in the DPRK that is to destroy the socialist system in the DPRK and restore capitalism . Thus the BBC is aiding and abetting the hostile campaign against the DPRK by the US imperialist and south Korean reactionaries .
 The BBC stop stop broadcasting recycled lies about the  DPRK !
HANDS OFF PEOPLE'S KOREA !

KCNA Commentary Ridicules Despicable Farce of LKP

Pyongyang, May 30 (KCNA) -- The "Liberal Korea Party" coteries of south Korea including Hong Jun Phyo staged a disgusting confrontational farce, to provoke laughter of the world people.

Hong called a press conference to make public an "open letter" reflecting the "request of LKP regarding U.S.-north Korea summit".

In the "open letter", the LKP raised "7-point request" to the U.S., in which it emphasized that no discussion on the reduction or withdrawal of the U.S. forces in south Korea should be made and the north's dismantlement of biological and chemical weapons and human rights issue must be tabled, while calling for "maintaining the principle of denuclearization".

It even reeled off rhetoric that "it truly hopes for substantial progress for the north's nuclear dismantlement" and that "gradual lifting of sanctions on the north out of political consideration and judgment would bring the worst disaster to the Korean peninsula".

The LKP men bluffed they would make the English version of the "open letter" and send it to the White House, CIA, U.S. Department of State and U.S. Congress.

This is an unbridled act of a handful of traitors keen on marring the success made at the Panmunjom meeting and destroying the phase for the DPRK-U.S. dialogue.

In this regard, people from all walks of life in south Korea heap censure and curses on the LKP for its act of "throwing a wet blanket ahead of north Korea-U.S. summit" and "making assertions that can be made only by war maniacs".

Even the U.S. master was said to have got blushed at the despicable act of the traitors. It is easy to see how pitiful they have been looked by their master. They were put out of the favor of their master for their sickening flattery.

The day after the publication of the "open letter", Hong Jun Phyo posted on Facebook a sentence reading that "the U.S. and Moon Jae In government have run on a rock while trying to solve the north's nuclear issue through south-north peace show and bargaining".

Clear is with what attitude the master has responded to this.

Top class traitors steeped in concept for confrontation with the fellow countrymen to the marrow of their bones are fated to be snubbed and cold-shouldered.

Hong and his LKP group are inviting their own end.

The strong wave of reconciliation and peace that has arrived in this land will mercilessly sweep away the dirty rubbish sticking to national division and confrontation with fellow countrymen while being parasitic on outsiders. Only then will south Korea be clean. -0-

Answers from the Anti-Imperialist National Democratic Front of south Korea to Questions Raised by Dr Dermot Hudson of the ASSPUK, JISGE and UK KFA

Reply to questions raised by the UK KFA, Juche Idea Study Group and Association for the Study of Songun Politics UK from the Anti-Imperialist National Democratic Front of south Korea(AINDF)
Dermot Hudson , KFA UK Chairman, Chairman of the Juche Idea Study Group and President of the Association for the Study of Songun Politics  sent a list of questions to the Pyongyang Mission of the Anti-Imperialist National Democratic Front of south Korea .
Here are the answers from the AINDF:
Some days ago, I received your email requesting view of the Pyongyang Mission in connection with favorable situation is being created on the Korean Peninsula. 
After making a deep studying on the questions raised by you, I would like to inform you of view of the Pyongyang Mission in some aspects.
First, our view on Libyan style denuclearization touted by the US. 
Of late, the Libyan style of denuclearization is hotly debated in the US as the scheduled DPRK-US summit is approaching. 
National security advisor Bolton, US vice-president Pence and other senior US officials of the White House are making reckless remarks “nuclear abandonment first, compensation later”, while taking about the Libyan style of nuclear abandonment and “complete, verifiable and irrevocable denuclearization”.
These allegations are far from any negotiated settlement of the issue and they reveal a sinister scheme to impose on the DPRK what Libya and Iraq suffered after leaving themselves at the mercy of powers.
As you know, the victory of the WPK's line was won and thus the struggle of the Korean people who worked hard to acquire a powerful treasured sword for defending peace was successfully concluded and the firm guarantee for an eternal foundation for the prosperity of the posterity was provided.
No nuclear test and intermediate-range and inter-continental ballistic rocket test-fire are necessary for the DPRK, given that the completion of nuclear weaponization was verified.
The DPRK declared that it will discontinue nuclear test and inter-continental ballistic rocket test-fire from April 21, Juche 107 (2018).
As the mission of the northern nuclear test ground has come to an end it was dismantled on May 24 under the global spotlight.
The DPRK made its clear stand that it will make every possible effort for peace of humankind and worldwide nuclear disarmament.
Mistaking the DPRK’s magnanimity and generous measures for expression of weakness, the US is trying to bill them as the results of their sanctions and pressure campaign. The US advertises the fact that it would offer economic compensation and benefits in return for the DPRK’s nuclear abandonment.
It is preposterous that comparing the DPRK with Libya, bended to the US, that ended up in destruction. The US bigwigs are still ignorant of the DPRK.
The AINDF fully supports the DPRK’s attitude and standpoint.
Next, I would like to mention about the “policy change” in the DPRK much touted in the West.
The 3rd Plenary Meeting of the 7th Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea declared with pride victorious conclusion of line of simultaneously developing the two fronts and advanced new strategic line of concentrating all efforts on the socialist economic construction.
It is not “policy change” and it is strange to “reform” and “opening” advertised by the West.
The DPRK will take the road of independence, and socialism chosen by itself by dint of self-development and science in any adversity.
A reality will tell what eye-popping change would take place in the DPRK.
When you visit the DPRK you will witness rapid progress of the DPRK and you will keenly feel the “policy change” in the DPRK vociferated by the West is nonsensical.
Next, I would like to mention about withdrawal of the US troops from south Korea and the south Koreans’ struggle for abolition of the “National Security Law”.
Independence, democracy and reunification are the final goal of the AINDF and the south Korean people.
To this end, the US troops in south Korea should be withdrawn and the NSL stamping out the popular resistance should be abolished.
The pullout of the US forces from south Korea and abolition of all legal and institutional mechanism blocking reunification and prosperity of the nation are essential demand for realizing the righteous cause of the south Korean people and peace and independent reunification of the Korean Peninsula.
It is an impending issue in view of improving inter-Korean relations and the scheduled DPRK-US summit thanks to proactive effort of the DPRK.
The AINDF and people of various circles will launch a vigorous drive to drive out the US troops, the source of national division and an obstacle to Korea’s reunification, from south Korea as early as possible and abolish the NSL and other fascist laws hampering inter-Korean reconciliation and unity.
We hope your organizations would make active solidarity campaign such as release of statements, protest letters and picket to support the south Korean people’s action to withdraw the US troops from south Korea and abolish the NSL and treacherous acts of the opposition Liberty Korea Party and conservative forces against the April 27 Declaration. 
Your solidarity campaign would offer a great inspiration to the Korean people’s drive for independence, democracy, reunification, peace and prosperity. 
Next, I would like to mention on dispatch of the UK’s warships to the waters off the Korean Peninsula.
Some days ago, Max Thunder with involvement of many stealth fighters was conducted in south Korea. Thus the scheduled inter-Korean high-level talks came to rupture.
The UK’s engagement in the hostile acts of the US is an anachronistic act and an intolerable challenge to the Korean nation and humankind desirous of peace on the Korean Peninsula.
Had the UK sincerely wishes peace and reunification of the Korean Peninsula, it should not join the US reckless military action. We hope your organization would spare no efforts to check the moves of the British government pursuant to the US. 
These are my views on the questions you asked me.

For Peace on the Korean Peninsula

For Peace on the Korean Peninsula The People for Achieving Peace and Reunification including 84 other civic organizations and personages formed a committee for promoting peace candlelight and held a press conference in front of the US embassy in Seoul on May 21. The spring of peace is in the balance, the committee deplored through its press release.   The US has threw hurdles in the way of the DPRK-US summit by forcing unilateral concessions from the DPRK, it charged and added that Bolton and other hardliners are increasing sanctions and pressure on the DPRK. In a press release, the committee demanded that the US discontinue such provocative actions as war exercises if it is truly interested in the dialogue with the DPRK. It called for changing the candlelight, symbol of democracy, into symbol of peace and holding it up until peace has settled in the Korean Peninsula and the country has been reunified. About seventy civic groups including the People's Solidarity for Revising Unequal SOFA held a news conference in front of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to demand total revision of the unequal SOFA with the US.  Environmental pollution is very serious at the US military bases in Bupyeong and Yongsan compared with other bases in south Korea, the press release noted.  Irresponsible attitude to issue of the environmental contamination at the US military bases in Bupyeong and Yongsan would produce ensuing consequence in other military bases in south Korea, it said. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs should demand the US forces in south Korea should own responsibility for the environmental contamination, it held.   The south Koreans have been under constant threat of serious environmental pollution at the US military bases, the bacteria of anthrax and biochemical weapons, and crimes committed by the US army for half a century. It is attributable to the lopsided SOFA agreed with the US, it stressed.   The press released declared that the organizations would present a written opinion in demand of total revision of the unequal SOFA to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the US embassy in Seoul and launch a vigorous action including a protest rally.

KCNA Commentary on S. Korea-Japan Agreement

Pyongyang, May 29 (KCNA) -- Now the Korean nation and the whole world hope that the Panmunjom Declaration on Peace, Prosperity and Reunification of Korean Peninsula would be implemented as early as possible.

But, a number of hurdles still lie in the way for implementing the declaration.

Such dangerous hurdles should be removed without fail as they harm the improvement of the inter-Korean relations and create a war crisis on the Korean peninsula.

That's why south Koreans from all walks of life have recently pressed for the abrogation of the agreement on protecting military intelligence with Japan.

The south Korean people have waged an all-people signature campaign, saying that it is unpardonable to conclude a military agreement with war criminal state Japan and any attempt for military cooperation with Japan should be stopped as the top leaders of the south and the north declared that there would be no more war on the Korean peninsula.

This reflects the mindset of south Koreans who hope for the improvement of the inter-Korean relations and peace on the peninsula. It is also their demand that the authorities have to live up to the expectation.

As was clearly disclosed, the south Korea-Japan agreement on protecting military intelligence is a criminal product traitor Park Geun Hye and the Abe group made under the pretext of "threat from the north". So, it is an extremely dangerous and treacherous war agreement as it ferments distrust and confrontation among the fellow countrymen and opens the door to the Japanese reactionaries bent on the revival of militarism for the reinvasion of the Korean peninsula.

Now Japan, seized with the wild ambition for overseas aggression, is rushing headlong into militarism and gravely threatening peace and security in the region.

The desperate efforts of Japan to stem the current of reconciliation and peace prevailing on the peninsula are inviting criticism and derision from the world.

The conclusion of military agreement with Japan is quite contrary to the desire of the fellow countrymen for the Korean peninsula free from war.

There is no justification for the existence of the agreement.

The existence of such treacherous agreement is disgrace on the nation when the north and the south promised to open a new era for the independent reunification, peace and prosperity by their concerted efforts. It also goes against the expectation of the Asian people and the international community hoping for the stable situation in the peninsula and the region.

The agreement should be promptly abrogated in view of implementation of the Panmunjom Declaration and the south Korean authorities' combat against the deep-rooted evils.

The abrogation of the agreement, concluded by the Park Geun Hye group and Japan in a hurry, is one of the election commitments made by the present authorities of south Korea.

Actions speak louder than words, and it is more important to yield fruits through bold practice.

The south Korean authorities should show the will to implement the Panmunjom Declaration by taking a bold decision to repeal the treacherous war agreement. -0-

Repatriation of Women Citizens of DPRK Is Urgent Pending Issue: KCNA Commentary

Pyongyang, May 29 (KCNA) -- The truth behind the group abduction of women citizens of the DPRK by the puppet conservative forces of south Korea has been disclosed to touch off a flurry of censure from the public at home and abroad.

The south Korean civic organizations and people from all walks of life demand the authorities' official apology, the assurances for the prevention of recurrence of the similar event, immediate send-back of the women employees and disbandment of the Intelligence Service, and the Bar Association for Democratic Society has taken a legal action of referring those involved in the abduction to the prosecution, saying that "it has been fully disclosed that the women employees of the north were abducted by the Park Geun Hye regime".

With the trend for national reconciliation and peace prevailing in the north-south relations, the families of the victims and other Korean people hold out hope to see their beloved daughters coming back.

National reconciliation and unity are by no means abstract concepts.

The processes of unraveling one by one the tangled issues remaining pending in history and relieving every member of the nation of their pain would be steps toward peace and reunification.

The settlement of humanitarian issues attributable to hideous policy for confrontation with the fellow countrymen pursued by the past conservative regime is a prerequisite.

This would also serve as an important occasion showcasing the sincerity and will of the south Korean authorities for the sustained development of the north-south ties and peace and reunification of the Korean peninsula.

This is the reason why the repatriation of the women citizens of the DPRK draws attention of all the fellow countrymen and the international community, beyond the humanitarian issue.

The atrocities committed by traitor Park Geun Hye who made a mockery of the destinies of the flowering girls and tried to tarnish the image of the dignified DPRK in order to meet her dirty political ambition can never be pardoned.

No one can shun or connive at it.

The concealment of the crime against humanity committed by traitor Park Geun Hye would mean an open denial of the south Korean mindset willing to see the abolition of evils, and a serious crime going against the implementation of the Panmunjom Declaration.

The ambiguous attitude to the send-back of the women citizens of the DPRK would be little short of adding more crime.

A proper step is essential. -0-

Kim Jong Un Meets Moon Jae In Again

Pyongyang, May 27 (KCNA) -- The historic fourth inter-Korean summit meeting and talks took place at the Thongil House in the north side area of Panmunjom on May 26, Juche 107 (2018) all of a sudden.

Kim Jong Un, chairman of the Workers' Party of Korea and chairman of the State Affairs Commission of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, came to the Thongil House to meet and hold talks with President Moon Jae In of south Korea.

Panmunjom, the historic land which had once come under global spotlights as a symbol of peace for making a new start of the north-south relations and opening up a new era of reconciliation and unity, witnessed another significant meeting between the top leaders of the north and the south of Korea in 29 days.

Honor guards of the Korean People's Army lined up at the Thongil House, the venue of the talks, to receive President Moon Jae In.

Kim Jong Un, Supreme Leader of the party, state and army of the DPRK, warmly greeted President Moon Jae In and exchanged greetings with him who arrived at the Thongil House after crossing the demarcation line at Panmunjom.

The two top leaders were so pleased to have a historic meeting once again at the historic place after the lapse of one month, and warmly shook their hands with each other.

Prior to the talks, President Moon Jae In made an entry in the visitors' book of the Thongil House in memory of his visit to the north side area, which reads: "Peace and Prosperity of the Korean Peninsula, together with Chairman Kim Jong Un of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea! May 26, 2018. President of the Republic of Korea Moon Jae In".

Kim Jong Un and Moon Jae In, their hands firmly held with each other, had a souvenir photo taken to commemorate the historic fourth north-south summit.

Kim Jong Un shook hands one by one with the personages of the south side who accompanied Moon Jae In, sharing pleasure of meeting with them.

Then, there were talks between Kim Jong Un and Moon Jae In.

Present at the talks from the north side was Kim Yong Chol, vice-chairman of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, and from the south side was So Hun, director of the National Intelligence Service.

At the talks there were in-depth exchanges of opinions to tackle the matters that should be resolved to quickly implement the Panmunjom Declaration agreed upon at the third north-south summit and to realize the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula and achieve regional peace, stability and prosperity, and the matters the north and the south are now faced with, and the one of successfully holding the DPRK-U.S. summit.

Kim Jong Un and Moon Jae In shared the view that the two sides should trust and take care of each other and exert joint efforts to make sure that the Panmunjom Declaration reflecting the unanimous desire of all Koreans is implemented at an early date.

They agreed to hold the north-south high-level talks on coming June 1 and further accelerate the talks of various fields including the ones of military authorities and Red Cross.

They shared the opinion that they would meet frequently in the future to invigorate dialogue and pool wisdom and efforts, expressing their stand to make joint efforts for the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula.

Kim Jong Un thanked Moon Jae In for much effort made by him for the DPRK-U.S. summit scheduled for June 12, and expressed his fixed will on the historic DPRK-U.S. summit talks.

Kim Jong Un asked Moon Jae In to positively cooperate with each other as ever to improve the DPRK-U.S. relations and establish mechanism for permanent and durable peace.

They reached a satisfactory consensus on the matters discussed at the talks.

Kim Jong Un warmly embraced Moon Jae In and exchanged good-byes with him, promising to meet again one day.

The top leaders of the north and the south open-heartedly listened to each other's opinions on the crucial pending matters without formality, and had a candid dialogue. The meeting offers another historic occasion in opening up a new chapter in the development of the north-south relations.

The fourth north-south summit held at Panmunjom, recorded in history as a symbol of national reconciliation and unity, peace and prosperity, will provide all Koreans with a new hope and vitality. -0

 The Association for the Study of Songun Politics UK(ASSPUK), the Juche Idea Study Group of England (JISGE) ,the UK Korean Friendship Association(UK KFA) and the British Solidarity Committee for the Peace and Reunification in the Korean Peninsula(BSCPRKP) issued a statement in support of the commentary of the researcher of the Disarmament and Peace Institute of the DPRK Foreign Ministry titled "Who Is to Blame for Escalation of Tensions on Korean Peninsula"
  Recently the US imperialists and south Korea staged the "Max Thunder " war exercises against the DPRK from the 11th of May to the 25th of May . This exercise even involved US B52 bomber aircraft and the original plan was to also involve Japanese armed forces .
 Holding the exercise was a most blatant breach of the April 27th Panmunjom Declaration which stipulates that no hostile actions including military exercises should be carried out. Basically the holding of military exercises by the US and south Korea is seriously undermining the mood of peace and inter-Korean reconciliation .
  As the commentary written by the researcher states " All facts clearly prove once again that the joint military exercises which the U.S. holds in the Korean peninsula are the root cause of the escalation of tension in the region and that they have something to do with the U.S. Asia domination strategy."
   This is indeed true .
If the US and south Korea want peace then they must halt all military exercises against the DPRK .Any planned military exercises should be cancelled at once ! The US must stop interfering in Korea and withdraw its troops as soon as possible.

Resolute Fight against Arbitrary Practices of Imperialists Called For

Pyongyang, May 26 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun on Saturday says in an article that the revolution can neither advance nor the country's sovereignty and the nation's dignity be safeguarded without an uncompromising struggle against the imperialists.
The imperialists are becoming ever more high-handed and arbitrary on the international arena, the article says, and goes on:
The interference and war of aggression perpetrated by the imperialists in different parts of the world are putting the world into chaos. Independent development is hindered in various countries and their people are subject to great misfortune and pain. The world and its people can never rest in peace unless the high-handed and arbitrary practices of the imperialists are checked.
This being a hard reality, not a few countries are remaining tongue-tied about the high-handed and arbitrary practices of the imperialists, far from resolutely fighting against them.
Some countries are behaving feeble-minded, choosing the road of compromise and concession.
The imperialists become servile before the strong and outrageous before the weak.
Making a concession to the imperialists and compromising with them is little short of inviting one's own death.
The aggressive nature of the imperialists will never change. It's the mode of existence of the imperialists to make it their regular job to invade and plunder other countries and nations until they meet an end. If there be any change in the imperialists, it is only the method of aggression, not their nature.
Expecting any "benefit" from the imperialists, especially the U.S. while approaching them with illusions is an act of making concession in revolutionary principle and a servile act of stepping back from the anti-imperialist, anti-U.S. struggle.
The concession and retreat in the struggle against the class enemies including the imperialists mean death.
History teaches a bitter lesson that one should only resolutely fight against the imperialists, not harboring the slightest illusion about them. -0

Japan Should Face up to Trend of Times: KCNA Commentary

Pyongyang, May 26 (KCNA) -- Japan is recklessly going against the trend of the times.

Kono, foreign minister of Japan, again talked rubbish that Japan would "put maximum pressure on north Korea." He had once come under public criticism for his offending remarks about the DPRK's "preparations for a nuclear test" in March last when exchanges were brisk between the north and the south of Korea for dialogue.

His voice just sounds like grumbling of a dwarf politician going mischievous, ignorant of where he is standing.

It seems that Japan stills lacks the power of reason and is unaware of what's going on.

International efforts for promoting mutual respect and trust and achieving co-prosperity are getting brisk among countries worldwide.

Notably, there are bold moves to dispel misunderstanding and hostility in the Korean peninsula and the region thanks to the active efforts of the DPRK.

It is annoying that some forces are hindering the positive development, but the DPRK has invariably taken bold measures. The measures are hailed by the international community as they help the positive development of the situation.

What matters against this backdrop is the ill purpose sought by Japan offending the world public in disregard of this situation, being displeased with it.

Japan seeks to bring the situation back to the state of confrontation to divert public attention at home away from its bankrupt policy toward people's living and high-profile graft and to invent a pretext for turning Japan into a militarist country and carrying out overseas expansion.

Japan likes to wreck peace and break stability as it deems it a good chance for carrying out its ultra-right home and foreign policies. So it is quite natural that its policy invites the public denunciation.

Reactionaries of Japan are rejected and alienated worldwide, far from "demonstrating their status," due to the reckless hard-line policy toward the DPRK.

For example, their offer to include a paragraph calling for pressurizing the DPRK in the final document at a recent international meeting held in Tokyo was rejected.

Even in a Mideast country they think share a view with, their offer to put pressure on the DPRK got a frosty reply. In a nutshell, what Japan got for its politics was something unprecedented in the history of its diplomacy and something utterly humiliating in the light of etiquette.

Japan's short-sighted attitude toward the developing situation and the times is just the main reason for its disgrace and humiliation.

Japan should behave with reason, facing up to the trend of the times.

The trend of "passing Japan" will get stronger if the reactionaries of Japan persist in tongue-lashing against the DPRK. -0

UK KFA condemn Boris Johnson for advocating maximum pressure and sanctions against the DPRK

UK KOREAN FRIENDSHIP ASSOCIATION 

    26TH OF MAY 2018

The UK Korean Friendship Association issued the following statement concerning the latest utterances of Boris Johnson the Foreign Secretary of the British government ;

  Recently Trump the president of the US decided to cancel the planned and much talked about DPRK-US summit . Boris Johnson expressed "regret " over this but however went on to call for 

"maximum pressure " and sanctions to be applied to the DPRK and that the so-called "Libyan model " of "complete verifiable and irreversible  disarmament " should be applied to the DPRK .Thus Johnson is basically backing the most extreme war hawks in the US such as John Bolton and siding with the US imperialists in their wild anti-DPRK war moves.

  The so-called "complete verifiable and irreversible  disarmament" being touted by the US imperialists and other reactionaries is about denying independence to the DPRK and destroying its socialist system. The DPRK has stated that it will not become another Libya or Iraq .

  The UK government should not join the reactionary hostile acts of the US against People's Korea . The UK should not call for "maximum pressure " and "sanctions "  but instead should be in the forefront of getting the sanctions on the DPRK revoked !

  Moreover the UK has sent warships to Korean waters , this is a hostile act against the DPRK and is also siding with the US in its insidious war moves against People's Korea !

We demand that the UK stops backing the US in Korea , that the UK stops supporting "maximum pressure " and "sanctions " against the DPRK and that the UK withdraws warship and any other armed forces it has on the Korean peninsula !

HANDS OFF PEOPLE'S KOREA !

Kim Jong Un Inspects Construction Site of Wonsan-Kalma Coastal Tourist Area

Pyongyang, May 26 (KCNA) -- Kim Jong Un, chairman of the Workers' Party of Korea, chairman of the State Affairs Commission of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and supreme commander of the Korean People's Army, inspected the construction site of the Wonsan-Kalma coastal tourist area.

He was greeted by Army General Kim Su Gil, director of the General Political Bureau of the KPA, Army Col. General Son Chol Ju, vice-director in charge of organizational affairs of the General Political Bureau of the KPA, Army Lieut. General Kim Jong Gwan, vice-minister of the People's Armed Forces, commanding officers of the construction headquarters of the Wonsan-Kalma coastal tourist area and officials of the Designing Department of the State Affairs Commission.

Looking at the panoramic view of the construction site along Myongsasipri seaside, where various buildings are taking their shapes, he encouraged builders, praising them for having done a lot in just several months.

Saying the period when the Ryomyong legendary stories were created became the old period on this land where fresh leap and progress are taking place every day, he noted that new miracles in construction are being created again at the construction site of the Wonsan-Kalma coastal tourist area.

Going round various places of the construction site, he acquainted himself with the overall construction, including its scale and progress and measures for supplying building materials and equipment, and discussed the issues arising in hastening the construction.

He highlighted the need to set a day's feasible schedule of the construction and strictly adhere to the requirements of the standard of design and construction and building method on the principle of taking responsibility for the safety of the projects and thus guarantee their absolute quality for eternity in all construction projects and thus ensure the quality of buildings on the highest level.

He said that frontline-style political work and collective emulation should be waged dynamically so that the whole construction site could seethe with the frontline-style propaganda and agitation, ardent patriotism and zeal for struggle and emulation.

He underscored the need for the sector of producing building materials and other relevant units across the country to provide equipment, building materials and finishing building materials needed at the construction site in time by vigorously conducting the increased production drive and the drive for creation.

It is the determination of the WPK to wonderfully build the Wonsan-Kalma coastal tourist area as a Korean-style coast city without an equal in the world to make our people enjoy the highest civilization at the highest level, he said, giving instruction to complete the construction till the Day of the Sun, the birth anniversary of President Kim Il Sung, next year.

Accompanying him was Jo Yong Won, vice department director of the Central Committee of the WPK. -0-

U.S. Is to Blame for Escalation of Tension on Korean Peninsula

Pyongyang, May 25 (KCNA) -- A researcher of the Disarmament and Peace Institute of the DPRK Foreign Ministry made public a commentary titled "Who Is to Blame for Escalation of Tensions on Korean Peninsula" on Friday.

He in the commentary denounced the U.S. for having staged the madcap 2018 Max Thunder joint air combat drills to be the largest against the DPRK from May 11 through 25 and thus ruptured the north-south high-level talks.

Branding the U.S.-south Korea joint military exercises as an open challenge to the Panmunjom declaration the north and the south of Korea agreed and made public to the world, the commentary said:

Clear is the ultimate purpose sought by the U.S. in continuously holding joint military exercises going against the atmosphere of détente created on the Korean peninsula.

That is to further spur the formation of the U.S.-Japan-south Korea triangular military alliance and maintain a military edge in Asia-Pacific.

This is clearly evidenced by the involvement of B-52 strategic bombers in the 2018 Max Thunder and the original plan to hold it as the U.S.-Japan-south Korea combined air drill involving fighters of Japan and south Korea.

Last year there were a total of four U.S.-Japan-south Korea missile warning drills under the manipulation of the U.S., an indication that the U.S. has long tried to inveigle Japan into the U.S.-south Korea joint military drill to have Japan form military nexus with south Korea.

All facts clearly prove once again that the joint military exercises which the U.S. holds in the Korean peninsula are the root cause of the escalation of tension in the region and that they have something to do with the U.S. Asia domination strategy.

The international community is required to see with awakened eyes that the U.S. and south Korean warlike forces have escalated the situation through military provocations like the joint military exercises whenever important agreements were reached between the north and the south, and to see who really stems the trend toward peace and reconciliation on the Korean peninsula.

As long as the U.S. and south Korea continue to hold joint military exercises, the sky over the Korean peninsula will not be clear even a single day and it would be hard to guarantee the present trend toward détente and the peace and stability in the region. -0-

                                       London 25th of May Juche 107(2018) 
 The Association for the Study of Songun Politics UK(ASSPUK), the Juche Idea Study Group of England (JISGE) ,the UK Korean Friendship Association(UK KFA) and the British Solidarity Committee for the Peace and Reunification in the Korean Peninsula(BSCPRKP) issued a statement in support of the statement of  Nuclear Weapons Institute of the DPRK issued on Thursday ;
   The DPRK Nuclear Weapons institute issued a statement explaining that it had, on the 24th of May , held a ceremony for completely dismantling the northern nuclear test ground of the DPRK, in accordance with the decision reached at the 3rd Plenary Meeting of the 7th Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea  held on April 21st this year. The plenary meeting decided to discontinue with nuclear tests as the DPRK had completed the work of becoming a nuclear state.
    The dismantling of the nuclear test ground of the DPRK was done on the 24th of May in an open, transparent manner in the presence of journalists from many different countries.
  The DPRK has taken an epochal step for peace , probably becoming one of the few nuclear powers to dismantle its nuclear test site . Shamefully the US has answered this sincere peace-loving gesture by the DPRK by cancelling the DPRK-US summit .
 As the statement of the DPRK Nuclear Weapons Institute says "The discontinuance of the nuclear test is an important process moving towards global nuclear disarmament, and we will continue to join hands with the world peace-loving people in building a nuclear-free peaceful world, a new independent world where the dream and ideal of humanity are realized. - "
 We support this noble peace-loving gesture by the independent DPRK . We believe that the US and other nuclear powers should reciprocate by taking measures towards global nuclear disarmament .

  Yesterday , the 24th of May , Trump the president of the US, suddenly unilaterally cancelled the proposed DPRK-US summit scheduled to be held on the 12th of June .
    The DPRK had made earnest preparations for the summit .It  had also shown tremendous goodwill to the US by releasing 3 US citizens who had either been convicted by DPRK courts of serious crimes against the DPRK or had been arrested following investigations by DPRK law enforcement agencies (they were never hostages and the use of such a term by Trump is an insult ) . It is the US that went ahead with military exercises , sent warships to threaten the DPRK and continued imposing sanctions on the DPRK .
In our view Trump pulled out of the summit because he knew he was incapable of negotiating  a reasonable and just settlement with the DPRK , he knew that the DPRK would get the better of him on the negotiating table. Also the DPRK would not bow down to the US like the Soviets and others did in the past , it made it clear it would not accept "Libyan style denuclearise"
At the end of the day Trump is the loser and the DPRK is the winner .The DPRK has won a massive moral victory over the US.
  We believe that whatever happens regarding the question of DPRK-US relations  , the DPRK will have a bright future under the banner of self-reliance and Juche !
However we should not overlook the fact that Trump's letter to respected Marshal KIM JONG UN cancelling the summit contained a threat of nuclear war ,so we must all rally around defend People's Korea ! Solidarity with the DPRK  must be increased
DEFEND PEOPLE'S KOREA !
HANDS OFF PEOPLE'S KOREA!

Kim Jong Un Inspects Completed Koam-Tapchon Railways

Pyongyang, May 25 (KCNA) -- Kim Jong Un, chairman of the Workers' Party of Korea, chairman of the State Affairs Commission of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and supreme commander of the Korean People's Army, inspected the completed Koam-Tapchon Railways.

Years ago, he unrolled a plan for building a large-scale fishing village zone in the areas of Koam, Tapchon and Chonapho favorable for developing the fishing industry and set forth the task for building modern Koam-Tapchon Railways as a preceding process.

Builders, scientists and technologists successfully built a railway bridge across the rough sea of Sokjon Bay as a monumental edifice in the era of the Workers' Party and thus hewed out an unprecedented new ground in the DPRK's history of railway construction.

Watching the railways across the rough sea, the respected Supreme Leader said it is fantastic and looks like a huge picture. Another problem about which the Party was concerned has been resolved, he added with great satisfaction.

Noting that the completion of the railways linking Koam with the Songjon peninsula opened up a broad avenue for rapidly hastening the construction of the Tapchon fishing village zone as planned by the Party and satisfactorily transporting fishes caught in the fishing village zone, he highly appreciated the builders, scientists and technologists for having successfully carried out a difficult and enormous project with their own efforts.

Noting with appreciation that they wonderfully designed the marine railway bridge in Sokjon Bay and carried out its construction qualitatively, he repeatedly expressed satisfaction, saying that the longer he sees it, the more pleasant and proud he feels. He added that one more valuable edifice was built on the east coast of the country.

Pointing out that there is no impossibility for the Korean people dynamically advancing by dint of self-reliance and self-development, science and technology and they do whatever they make up their mind to do, he stressed the need to create and develop everything our own way by relying on our efforts, technology and resources in the future, too.

The completion of the Koam-Tapchon Railways is remarkably raising the revolutionary and working zeal of the Korean people dynamically hastening the grand march for economic construction true to the decisions made at the Third Plenary Meeting of the Seventh Central Committee of the WPK, he said, adding that it once again made the people convinced of the powerful Juche-based might of our state making a steady leap forward on the solid foundations of the self-supporting economy.

In high appraisal of the exploits of the builders and officials who successfully completed the Koam-Tapchon Railways through untiring heroic struggle, he gave thanks in the name of the WPK Central Committee to them.

He was accompanied by Kim Yong Su and Jo Yong Won, senior officials of the WPK Central Committee. -0-
