DPRK Professor Slams the lies of BR Myers
During our visit to the DPRK we were extremely privileged to have discussions with the renowned and esteemed DPRK social scientist Professor Kim Chang Gyong of the Korean Association of Social Scientists .
Professor Kim strongly denounced the reactionary slanders against the Juche Idea by the CIA's hired fake academic BR Myers . He refuted the slanders of Myers saying that the Juche idea is a human centred philosophy which therefore rejects racism . Juche is an independent people centred philosophy suited to the demands of the people and is in accord with the views of all progressives so has nothing in common with racism .
Prof Kim urged us to strongly counter-attack the filth being spread by BR Myers

Against increase of upkeep expenses for US army
Now south Korean people’s struggle against the increase of upkeep expenses for the US army is developing in south Korea.
On Oct. 22, the People’s Party had a press conference in Seoul at which it declared that would launch struggle against the increase of upkeep expenses for the US army.
The upkeep expenses for the US army should be reduced instead of the increase. We’ll form the campaign headquarters against the increase of upkeep expenses, it said.
In particular, simultaneous action would be held at over 600 places and all members of the party will immediately go into emergency action in November, it noted.
On Oct. 23, two civic organizations called a press conference near Chengwadae to denounce gangster-like demand of the US.
The organizations stated that they have no money for the US that is going to wrest exorbitant amount of money from the people and they would continue protest against it.
They also said that the unequal special agreement of sharing expense for upkeep for the US army must be abolished and the and south Korean government should get rent, taxes and trillions of won for purification of environment of the military bases from the US.
They stressed that it would launch demonstration against the increase of upkeep for the US troops and a nationwide signature campaign across south Korea.
Cowardly Violence
The south Korean authorities made a reckless violence against students who occupied the US embassy in Seoul to stage a protest against the US demanding a hike in the defense cost share.
On Oct. 18, seventeen south Korean students affiliated to the Progressive Federation of Students climbed over a wall of the US embassy to find their way into the embassy.
In the embassy they staged the protest carrying placards written “Harris, who is forcing defense cost for the US force by five times, leave this land ”, while shouting slogans “no hike in the defense cost share”, “denounce the US” and “withdrawal of the US army”.
The south Korean authorities made four students arrests.
The surprise protest is reminiscent of occupation of the US culture house in Busan in the 1980s. It is a patriotic deed of dissatisfaction with the US that regards south Korea as a low-ranking ally and to put an end to the lopsided relations between south Korea and the US.
It is a righteous action speaking for the public sentiment toward the US which is coercing south Korea to offer astronomical amount of defense cost.
The progressive south Korean bodies including the Progressive Federation of Students and the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions strongly demand immediate release of the students, praising them as patriots.
However, the south Korean authorities termed their action as an illegal one. It is a never-to-be-condoned crime against the students and people of various circles aspiring after a new politics and a new life.
The broad segments of south Korean people accelerate a vigorous struggle to terminate domination and occupation of the US, achieve national independence and eliminate the pro-US forces.

KCNA Commentary on S. Korean Submission to U.S.
Pyongyang, October 29 (KCNA) -- It was recently disclosed that the south Korean military took care of depleted uranium shells of the U.S. forces in south Korea, which provoked a public outcry.
The south Korean Air Force has reportedly mobilized its manpower to maintain 1.32 million depleted uranium shells of the U.S. forces, which are stored in an air force airport in Suwon, Kyonggi Province, and have outlaid a large sum of money on it every year.
Revelation went in the past that the U.S. transferred all the depleted uranium shells to south Korea from the U.S. military base in Okinawa in the face of strong protest by the Japanese people and that it stockpiled a total of 2.74 million of them in the U.S. military bases in Suwon and Osan in Kyonggi Province and Chongju, North Chungchong Province, to provoke a furor. But this is the first time they were revealed to have been under the direct management of the south Korean military.
It shows to what extent the south Korean authorities have gone in their shameful submissive attitude towards the U.S.
As to the depleted uranium bombs, their use is universally forbidden as they seriously damage the ecological environment and cause leukemia, cancer and other fatal diseases.
The U.S. used lots of such bombs in the Gulf War, Balkan War and Iraqi War to kill many people and even GIs who used the bombs in those wars are suffering from diseases.
The south Korean military have stored such devil-like bombs at the expense of the blood tax collected from the south Korean people.
The above-said act of the south Korean military is so disgusting as it has carefully stockpiled the bombs the world people curse, not content with making the whole of south Korea a biochemical weapon test area and waste disposal ground.
Only south Korea is begging the U.S. to station its forces in south Korea, offering the tax to it and is even keeping such WMDs although there are U.S. military bases worldwide.
South Korea is a pitiable colony of the U.S., and the south Korean authorities are peerless attendants and traitors as they make no scruple of bringing disaster to the people, kowtowing to their master.
The south Korean people and mass media are shocked by the above-said fact, unacceptable and unimaginable, even though it complies with the humiliating south Korea-U.S. "Status of Forces Agreement".
Their submission to the U.S. will bring them nothing but maltreatment, contempt, disaster and sacrifice. -0-

Choe Ryong Hae Makes Speech at 18th NAM Summit
Pyongyang, October 29 (KCNA) -- Choe Ryong Hae, member of the Presidium of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK), first vice-chairman of the State Affairs Commission of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) and president of the Presidium of the Supreme People's Assembly, who is leading a delegation of the DPRK, made a speech at the 18th Summit of the Heads of State and Government of the Non-Aligned Movement.
The Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) is a powerful independent force against imperialism, a peace-loving force against war, he said, and went on:
The NAM has played a significant role in achieving independence and progress of the developing countries and safeguarding global peace and security.
The present international situation bears a resemblance to the early days of Cold War between the East and the West when the NAM was born.
Now is the time when the NAM Member States should turn out in the resolute fight for building a peaceful and prosperous world, an independent and just world, braving through the challenges with concerted efforts.
Now the situation on the Korean peninsula is at a critical crossroad of either moving towards durable peace along with the trend of détente or facing again a touch-and-go crisis.
A year has passed since the adoption of June 12 DPRK-U.S. Joint Statement. But the DPRK-U.S. relations see no improvement and the situation on the Korean peninsula is still caught up in the vicious cycle of escalated tension. This is ascribable to the U.S. pursuit of its anachronistic policy hostile to the DPRK and its continued political and military provocations.
Comrade Kim Jong Un, chairman of the State Affairs Commission of the DPRK, stated in his historic policy speech in April that there is a need for the U.S. to quit its current method of calculation and approach us with a new one.
We believe that preventing war and achieving durable peace on the Korean peninsula fully accord with the ideals of the NAM and it will also contribute to safeguarding global peace and security.
In view of its mission and ideals, the NAM is a group for international justice, and it is a force that has potential to realize international justice.
We take that a most pressing task now for the NAM is to struggle for realizing a genuine international justice.
If international justice is not realized, the purposes and principles enshrined in the UN Charter will be reduced to a blank sheet of paper, and worse still, the sovereignty and the right to existence of small countries and NAM member states will never be guaranteed.
The countries, which value justice, should build on their strength on the principle of self-reliance and self-development and bring earlier a new independent and just world by uniting and cooperating with each other under the banner of anti-imperialism and independence.
Along with the political unity, the NAM Member States should develop South-South cooperation by strengthening exchange and collaboration by regions and continents on the principles of equality, mutual benefits and complementing one another.
In the face of ever-increasing sanctions and pressure of the hostile forces to deprive our Republic of its sovereignty and right to development, the people of the DPRK are making dynamic efforts to build a powerful socialist country by dint of self-reliance and self-development.
The Government of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea will discharge its responsibility and role as a member state of NAM to invariably maintain the purity and ideals of the Movement, further develop the friendly and cooperative relations with its member states and strengthen and develop the Movement. -0-

Japan Can Never Shirk Responsibility for Sinking DPRK Fishing Vessel: KCNA Commentary
Pyongyang, October 28 (KCNA) -- Japan is trying to carry the war into the enemy's camp despite its burglar-like act of sinking our fishing vessel when it was on its normal navigation in the waters of the East Sea of Korea.
The Japanese authorities, opening to the public on Oct. 18 a video showing our vessel sinking, talked nonsense that "while our patrol ship was sailing frontward, the north Korean vessel turned the helm to the left" and "we took an appropriate measure to control illicit operation."
This is none other than a trick to evade the responsibility for sinking the vessel by ascribing the incident to so-called "illicit fishing operation" and "mistake in controlling vessel."
The fishing vessel incident obviously is nothing but a deliberate barbarity as it is a vivid expression of the Japanese authorities' insane hostile policy toward the DPRK.
The chief executive of Japan at the full-dress session of the House of Councilors on Oct. 8 said that an illegal fishing operation by the north Korean vessel was not confirmed. His official statement clearly shows that the DPRK vessel was on a normal navigation in the waters of the East Sea of Korea.
Nevertheless, the Japanese government, far from honestly admitting their gangster-like act, has gone so shameless as to spread the video, not content with peddling a story that the DPRK-flagged vessel didn't respond to its "interception" but made an abrupt turning only to collide with the patrol ship.
The video which shows only a scene of the collision of the vessels and the sinking of the DPRK vessel lays bare the foul mind of the Japanese authorities to hush up the truth of the incident.
Now the Japanese reactionaries are vocal that the DPRK-flagged fishing vessel met with an accident during an illicit fishing, backed by "data" which they made up deliberately to stop the whole story of the incident from being known.
But the broad media are casting strong doubts on the assertion of Japan, saying "it is difficult with the video to understand whether the north Korean vessel's turning was the direct cause of the incident" and "in the video was seen something like a net on the north Korean fishing vessel, but no crew of the north Korean side were seen working."
The fact that the Japanese patrol ship with a displacement of 1 300 tons dashed its head against the middle of the left side of a small ship with a displacement of 400 plus tons vividly proves that the former intentionally caused the collision to sink the latter.
This shows that the Japanese authorities are spreading sophism over the incident and with nothing can they shirk their responsibility for their gangster-like crime that sank our vessel and gravely threatened the life and safety of its crew.
The DPRK already gave an advance warning to the Japanese side that the interception and control of the action of its fishing vessel and other physical act could lead to a sudden clash.
However, as long as the Japanese side came out provocative, it is to be left with no reason to complain about the DPRK when it takes a corresponding action.
We strongly demand that the Japanese government compensate the material damage done to our fishing vessel and press for steps to prevent the recurrence of similar incident.
If such incident occurs again, Japan will see an undesirable result. -0-

DPRK contrasted with the old USSR
It is worth mentioning as well that during the Cuban Missile Crisis the DPRK gave Cuba important political and material support to Cuba The staff of the DPRK embassy stated that they would take up arms and fight alongside the Cuban people to the end. Then, dressed in Cuban military uniforms, they turned out in the showdown with the US aggressors, to the admiration of the world’s people. The DPRK also sent a KPA general to be ambassador in Cuba .

Juche Idea Study Group of England answers slanders of AP against the Juche Idea
A few week ago Associated Press published an article on the Juche Idea which quoted the renown DPRK social scientist Professor Kim Chang Gyong of the Korean Association of Social Scientists and also used a few lines of the interview by Dr Dermot Hudson chairman of the Juche Idea Study Group of England .
However the article contained grave slanders and distortions about the Juche Idea and People's Korea quoting some reactionary bourgeois overpaid so-called Korea experts who had never set foot in the DPRK !!!
Those jumped up fake experts and reactionaries tried to claim that the DPRK is 'dependent on aid ' . This is utter nonsense and denies the reality of People's Korea which is building socialism under the conditions of the toughest ever sanctions of the imperialists and world reactionary forces .
The book "Korea in the 21st Century " points out how a US academic discovered that only 4.8 per cent of the DPRK's Gross National Product comes from foreign trade whereas it was assumed it would 15 per cent . In contrast south Korea gets 80 per cent of its gross national product from foreign trade making it vulnerable to recessions , downturns and trade wars.
Some go on about "Soviet aid to the DPRK " and there are a view amongst some on the British left that the DPRK's achievements were the result of Soviet aid and the DPRK is a mere creation of the USSR or China or both . However , the USSR ceased to exist 28 years ago and the DPRK has lived well on its own since then . Secondly , it is a little known fact the the USSR imposed its own form of sanctions on the DPRK in 1962 because of the DPRK's anti-revisionism .
As the great leader President KIM IL SUNG said " It is not true that we cannot live without aid. We can not only live as well as we wish even without aid, but also build socialism splendidly, and must certainly do so." . Recently respected Marshal KIM JONG UN said " we should neither want help from anyone nor lend an ear to any temptation,that we should choose the prosperity based on our own efforts only as the immutable road of development and keep holding higher the banner of self-reliance as we do now"
KFA Romania support Kim Yong Chol's statement
On October 27, Juche 108 (2019), comrade Kim Yong Chol issued a statement regarding the hostile attitude of the US against the measures the DPRK has taken for its own self-defence.
Recently, the US imperialists are again finding fault with the DPRK's measures for self-defence. As comrade Kim Yong Chol put it, "the US is more desperately resorting to the hostile policy towards the DPRK, misjudging the patience and tolerance of the DPRK" and also that "the US strategic forces commander called the DPRK a 'rogue state' out of an evil intent, and the warlike forces of the US military are reportedly planning nuclear strike exercises against the DPRK". This is an unpardonable behaviour of the US imperialists, which clearly shows that the US is not interested at all in the negotiations and is constantly rattling the saber of war, threatening the peace and stability on a the Korean Peninsula with its joint military exercises held with the south Korean puppets and other satellite states.
Moreover, as we always see, the US imperialists didn't get rid of the old Cold War mentality, being determined " to isolate and stifle the DPRK in a more crafty and vicious way than before, instead of complying with our call for a change in its calculation method". The US imperialists shall not put DPRK's patience to the test, as "there is a limit to everything", comrade Kim Yong Chol said.
The US is seriously mistaken if it thinks it can force the DPRK into submission, using all kinds of threats and blackmail, including the so-called " sanctions resolutions", which are totally illegal and have no justification whatsoever.
We fully support this statement and urge the US to come to its senses, keeping in mind that if it dares to start a war on the Korean Peninsula again, it will face an even more humiliating defeat than during the Fatherland Liberation War. Under the leadership of the Supreme Leader Comrade Kim Jong Un, the People's Army is always ready to annihilate the imperialist aggressors if they dare intrude even an inch into the DPRK's territory, and complete the cause of national reunification.
US troops, out of Korea!
KOREA IS ONE!

What the visit of respected Marshal KIM JONG UN to Mt Paektu shows-special article by Dr Dermot Hudson
For revolutionaries, the blizzards of Paektu are a warm wind which sharpens the edge of their revolutionary faith and assures them that they can achieve miracles and victory, whereas for renegades of the revolution and traitors, they are a biting blast which deals them a crushing blow. Those who have appreciated the “feel”
of the blizzards of Paektu become revolutionaries, and those who have not, renegades. In retrospect, those who were unwilling to climb Mt Paektu and gave in for fear of the blizzards of Paektu, degenerated into renegades and traitors. When renegades and traitors appeared and challenged it in the past grim days, our Party punished them without mercy by dint of the blizzards of Paektu.
KIM JONG UN
Respected Marshal KIM JONG UN has visited and climbed up to the top of Mt Paektu several times since becoming supreme leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea . The world media say that when respected Marshal KIM JONG UN visits Mt Paektu it is a portent of great changes and heralds policy changes etc. Some believe that the ascent of Mt Paektu signifies that the period of engagement with the US which started in the spring of 2018 will finally come to an end . Well the imperialist media scribblers and keyboard jockeys can speculate as much as they want and make as many guesses as they please but what the visit and ascent of respected Marshal KIM JONG UN to Mt Paektu really shows is that is firstly , respected Marshal KIM JONG UN will carry forward the Juche revolutionary cause that was started on Mt Paektu , secondly , he will remain true to the great ideas of President KIM IL SUNG and Chairman KIM JONG IL , thirdly , Marshal KIM JONG UN will lead the Korean people to defy the sanctions of the imperialists and march forward in the revolutionary spirit of self-reliance. Mt Paektu is a very high mountain and not easy to ascend. Even on a bus it takes a long time and you have to walk the last part of the way up a steep path . To ascend Mt Paektu by horse would be particularly arduous and difficult even dangerous . When respected Marshal KIM JONG UN ascended Mt Paektu by horse snow was already on Mt Paektu It is a feat that takes great courage and fortitude . Ascending Mt Paektu in difficult conditions is symbolic of the path of the Korean revolution, which is a difficult and arduous path with many obstacles caused by the imperialists and other enemies .Moreover it symbolic of the will and intention of the dear respected leader Marshal KIM JONG UN to lead the Korean people to victory despite the sanctions and pressure of the imperialists as well as the big power chauvinists.. Respected Marshal KIM JONG UN has iron-willed determination to lead the DPRK to victory with no turning back or hesitation.
Earlier when looking at the construction of the new Samjiyon town respected Marshal KIM JONG UN was reported by KCNA as saying that " the pain the U.S.-led anti-DPRK hostile forces inflicted upon the Korean people has now turned into anger ...whenever the enemies try to strangle us with the chain of pressure, we should pave the way with our own efforts to continue to live well-off in the great spirit of self-reliance so that the enemies feel pain in their stomach and head...we should neither want help from anyone nor lend an ear to any temptation... we should choose the prosperity based on our own efforts only as the immutable road of development and keep holding higher the banner of self-reliance as we do now.'
This is a militant declaration by respected Marshal KIM JONG UN , it is a great statement of defiance as well a vow to push ahead with the revolutionary spirit of self-reliance which is the treasured sword of prosperity of People's Korea .
The imperialists , hostile forces and enemies of Juche Korea had hoped because of the DPRK-US summits plus the 3 inter-Korean summits and DPRK-China summits that the DPRK would abandon the revolutionary road of Juche and adopt 'reform' and 'opening up' but by visiting Mt Paektu and ascending it on horseback despite difficult conditions respected Marshal KIM JONG UN has demonstrated to the world that the DPRK will continue along the great independent , Juche-orientated road of self-reliance !

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 British Solidarity Committee for Peace and Reunification (BSCPRKP) issued a joint statement in support of the statement of Kim Yong Chol Chairman of the DPRK's chairman of the Korea Asia-Pacific Peace Committee, (KAPPC):
The statement of Kim Yong Chol the chairman of KAPPC addresses the issue of the stalled negotiations between the DPRK and US and the whole question of the future course of DPRK-US relations. It is made that "The U.S. is now more desperately resorting to the hostile policy towards the DPRK, misjudging the patience and tolerance of the DPRK.". Behind the figleaf of 'dialogue' and 'improved relations' the US has basically kept up its hostile anti-DPRK policy such as maintaining very extreme and draconian sanctions on the DPRK . On top of this the US has shown signs of intensifying its hostility to the DPRK by taking issue with the justified measures for increasing self-defence capabilities and still insisting on so -called "Final Fully Verifiable Denuclearization" which is in essence a call for the DPRK's one-sided unilateral nuclear disarmament, an echo of the so-called 'Libyan solution' . Worse still some US military figures have called for nuclear strike exercises against the DPRK , a most intolerable provocation to say the least .
The statement of the KAPPC chairman Kim Yong Chol correctly observes that " The situation points to the U.S. intent to isolate and stifle the DPRK in a more crafty and vicious way than". This is indeed very true . The US is trying to stifle and overthrow the socialist system of the DPRK under the cover of "peace ' and 'improved bilateral relations" .However the DPRK has shown that is not fooled by this trick of the US and is not falling into the trap being set by the US . The DPRK is showing that it has no illusions about the US.
Moreover although the rapport between the Chairman of the DPRK State Affairs Commission Chairman respected Marshal KIM JONG UN and President Trump has been an important factor in defusing tensions , the DPRK does not intend to rely on this alone and warns that "'there can be the exchange of fire any moment."
We unreservedly support this excellent statement and urge the US to end its hostile policy towards the DPRK . The clock is ticking and time is running for the US ! They should heed the warning given by the chairman of the DPRK KAPPC!

KAPPC Chairman's Statement
Pyongyang, October 27 (KCNA) -- Kim Yong Chol, chairman of the Korea Asia-Pacific Peace Committee, (KAPPC) made public a statement on Oct. 27.
The statement reads:
The U.S. is now more desperately resorting to the hostile policy towards the DPRK, misjudging the patience and tolerance of the DPRK.
Faulting the DPRK on its measure for bolstering up its military capability for self-defence at the recent meeting of the First Committee of the 74th United Nations General Assembly, the U.S. delegate said the U.S. would not enter the U.S.-DPRK dialogue with its eyes shut and north Korea must come up with a new methodology for FFVD, which got on the nerves of the DPRK.
The U.S. is persistently pressurizing other countries into implementing the UN "sanctions resolutions" and is leaving no stone unturned to get the anti-DPRK resolutions passed in the UN General Assembly, using its satellite countries.
The U.S. strategic forces commander nominee, speaking at the Senate, called the DPRK "a rogue state" out of an evil intent, and the warlike forces of the U.S. military are reportedly planning nuclear strike exercises against the DPRK.
The situation points to the U.S. intent to isolate and stifle the DPRK in a more crafty and vicious way than before, instead of complying with our call for a change in its calculation method.
The DPRK-U.S. relations that could have been derailed and fallen apart several times due to such hostile acts and wrong habitual practices on the part of the U.S. are still maintained. It goes to the credit of the close personal relations between Chairman of the State Affairs Commission Kim Jong Un and President Trump.
But there is a limit to everything.
The close personal relations can never be kept aloof from the public mindset and they are never a guarantee for preventing the DPRK-U.S. relations from getting aggravated or for making up for.
The U.S. trumpets the crucial measures taken by the DPRK for confidence-building as its own "diplomatic gains" but no substantial progress has been made in the DPRK-U.S. relations and belligerent relations still persists that there can be the exchange of fire any moment.
The U.S. is seriously mistaken if it is of the idea of passing off in peace the end of this year, by exploiting the close personal relations between its president and the Chairman of the State Affairs Commission of the DPRK for the delaying tactics.
My hope is that the diplomatic adage that there is neither permanent foe nor permanent friend does not change into the one that there is a permanent foe but no permanent friend. -0-

Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un Inspects Myohyangsan Medical Appliances Factory
Supreme Leader of the Party, state and armed forces Kim Jong Un learned in detail about the reconstruction and updating of the factory, looking round the factory.
Seeing the whole of the factory, he said that the interior and exterior of the factory now befit a model factory in medical field and it was perfect both in terms of architectural beauty and technology. He said that the factory was given a complete facelift and its look changed fundamentally.
He acknowledged the factory was built into a high-tech factory capable of mass-producing different kinds of highly efficient medical appliances which are badly needed by hospitals in the country.
Putting into operation trial medical apparatuses produced by the factory, he learned in detail about their performance.
Stressing that it is important to produce lots of medical apparatuses vital for protecting and promoting the people's life but they have to be of high quality, above all, he said in earnest tone that it is precisely an issue related to the outlook on the people.
Calling for putting all the medical appliances to be produced by the factory on the level of those produced by the developed countries, he said the factory should look for data on modern medical appliances, steadily update designs and products in an innovative way to suit to the situation of hospitals in the country and the constitution of patients and thus develop and produce quality medical appliances of high performance and practicability.
Noting that the modernization project of the factory is being done as planned by the Party in general but there are some drawbacks when seen in detail, he pointed to the insufficient quality of the construction that comes short of the needs of design and engineering.
The exterior wall tiles and seams of some buildings are not smooth enough and some areas have uneven plastering, he pointed out, criticizing the final work that has not been done in a delicate manner.
He said that he would send a unit high in construction skill soon and the factory should set right the drawbacks of the construction and complete it to be flawless and functional by the end of this year.
He was accompanied by leading officials of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea Kim Yo Jong, Jo Yong Won, Ri Jong Nam, Hong Yong Song, Hyon Song Wol, and Jang Song Ho, Chairman of Jagang Provincial Committee of the WPK Kang Pong Hun and Director of a bureau of the State Affairs Commission Ma Won Chun. -0-
KCNA Commentary on Military Provocation of South Korea
Pyongyang, October 26 (KCNA) -- The military of south Korea has gone beyond the red line in its reckless act of belligerency.
The commander of the missile command of the south Korean army announced at the "National Assembly" that it would conduct a ballistic missile firing drill again this year and regularly stage Hyonmu-series ballistic missile firing drill every year.
This is just an open declaration of war to open fire at the compatriots in the north and an intentional provocation to throw the Korean peninsula into lingering tensions.
As known, Hyonmu-series ballistic missile was developed to target the DPRK and its capacity for preemptive attack has been drastically increased for decades since its introduction.
The military of south Korea has constantly threatened the DPRK, screwing up tensions by ceaselessly conducting ballistic missile launching drills behind the curtains of dialogue and peace.
Billing it as a "missile with a longer range and stronger power than the north's", the military of south Korea has conducted its firing drill more than ten times this year.
Not content with this, it has gone the lengths of openly calling for staging such drill on a regular and annual basis.
Such military provocation will doubtless escalate tensions in the Korean peninsula.
The situation clearly proves who wrecks peace and stability on the Korean peninsula and adds fuel to its tensions.
The hard-won phase of peace on the Korean peninsula is facing difficulties and the north-south relations plunged into deadlock. This is because the south Korean authorities are still seeking their way out in escalating the danger of war, failing to drop their confrontational posture.
It is just the south Korean warlike forces who talked about "reconciliation" in public and staged a north-targeted war games with foreign forces afterwards, touting "unchanged pressure offensive against the north," and lavished a fabulous amount of money on introduction of modern military hardware despite the public opposition inside and outside.
The south Korean regime has gone so shameless as to term the entirely just measure of the DPRK for self-defense "provocation" though it has been crazy about war drumbeats for confrontation with the latter.
Anachronistic confrontational military racket will add fuel to escalating tensions and the south Korean bellicose forces will never be able to endure its consequences.
The military of south Korea should drop its foolish dream for bringing the north-south relations back to the past when the relations were distressed with extreme confrontation and danger of war. -0-

ASSPUK and JISGE on the 25th Anniversary of the Publication of "Socialism Is A Science "

London 25th of October Juche 108(2019)
The Association for the Study of Songun Politics UK and the Juche Idea Study Group of England today issued a joint statement on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the publication of the work "Socialism Is A Science" by the great leader generalissimo KIM JONG IL;
On the 1st of November it will be a quarter of a century since the publication of the work "Socialism Is A Science " by the great leader comrade KIM JONG IL . It can be said without any hint of exaggeration nor fear of contradiction that this was the most important piece of writing on socialism published in the last part of the 20th century and that the great leader comrade KIM JONG IL was the only leader of a socialist country and leader in the international communist movement to tackle the question of defending and expounding the scientific nature of socialism and its inevitability. Marx, Engels and Lenin had turned socialism from a Utopian dream into a science. However towards during the late 1980s and early 1990s a series of abnormal events took place namely the frustration of socialism in a number of countries owing to the conspiracy and intrigue of the modern revisionists the agents of imperialism with the socialist camp and international communist movement. As the great leader comrade KIM JONG IL wrote:"The crumbling of socialism in various countries does not mean the failure of socialism as science but the bankruptcy of opportunism which has corrupted socialism. Although socialism is temporarily experiencing a heartrending setback because of opportunism, it will without fail be revived and win ultimate victory for its scientific accuracy and truth".
This was a timely rebuff to the imperialists and reactionaries who taking advantage of the abnormal developments made extremely false and slanderous assertions that 'socialism had failed' and socialism was in some way "unscientific " or 'infeasible'.
The work was an unparalleled inspiration to the world revolutionary peoples looking for answer in the difficult international situation caused by the frustration of socialism in some countries . It was a real shot in the arm, a tonic for the international communist movement.The work fully proves and reasserts the scientific nature of socialism .
Eternal Chairman KIM JONG IL smashes sophistries about 'class co-operation ' advocated by reformists and revisionists explaining that : "The exploiter class and their stooges put forward the "theory of class cooperation" and tried to block the struggle of the exploited working masses against exploitation and oppression. Within the communist movement, reformists and revisionists demanded "class cooperation" and seriously harmed the revolutionary movement, Today, traitors to socialism are also clamoring for a return to capitalism, harboring illusions about capitalism and expecting "aid" and "cooperation" from the imperialists. History shows that to expect "good will" or "class cooperation" from the exploiter class is to make a mess of the revolution."
This was a telling blow to the theories collaborating with imperialism and given up class struggle. In some capitalist countries reformists and traitors advocated "social partnership " , compromise with the exploiting class but the teachings of comrade KIM JONG IL in "Socialism In A Science " demonstrates that such ideas are fallacious . All those who aspire for socialism and who are active in the labour movement should take to heart this teaching of the great leader comrade KIM JONG IL and uphold like a red torch. Today under the leadership of dear respected Marshal KIM JONG UN the DPRK is upholding self-reliance and self-development.
Moreover in the work "Socialism Is A Science " the great leader comrade KIM JONG IL showed that socialism is the banner of independence for the popular masses and the means for the popular masses including the working class to realise their independence, to become masters of their destiny. Thus leader KIM JONG IL defined socialism in a fresh way free from any dogmatic interpretations.
"Socialism Is A Science " proved the accuracy and validity of the socialist idea. It fully demonstrated the scientific nature of socialism and inevitability of its victory . At the time its publication it served a beacon or lighthouse for the socialist ,communists and progressives of the world groping in the darkness caused by the frustration of socialism . "Socialism Is A Science " was the second "Communist Manifesto". It showed the true genius of the comrade KIM JONG IL as a great theorist and ideologist .
There is no doubt that "Socialism Is A Science " is as relevant and valid today as it was 25 years ago. It charts the way ahead for the world socialist movement . Without hesitation we recommend a deep study of this work to the progressive and revolutionary people of the UK and the world,

Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un Inspects Yangdok County Hot Spring Resort
After being told in detail about the construction of the resort by leading officials of the construction headquarters, Supreme Leader of the Party, state and armed forces Kim Jong Un looked around places for medical treatment and fitness and multi-purpose sports and cultural district including indoor and outdoor spas and ski ground.
He expressed his great satisfaction over the fact that the resort is being successfully completed though it has been just over 50 days since he inspected the construction site late in August.
Seeing the resort which is taking its majestic shape as a complex for spa medical treatment and a sports, culture and recreation ground for the promotion of the people's health, he said that the resort is a perfect match for the geographic characteristics and natural environment of the area. He made a particular mention of blocks in good harmony and buildings in excellent combination with each other. Calling it a leaping progress in the architecture, he said that he felt pride in our own architecture.
Feasting on the service buildings in the hot spring resort from the observation deck, he said it is peculiar and absolutely perfect. He added with delight that the dwelling houses of the employees of the service units are like deluxe villas and farm villages around the resort have turned into a model for the construction of farm villages. He further stressed that this is our style, Korean-style construction.
He said that the Yangdok County Hot Spring Resort is not only new and peculiar in the architectural style and contents but everything in it is on the high level ranging from designing to construction.
He emphasized that as the project is now in its final stage, full consideration should be given to the impact of seasonal climatic conditions on its operation, and it should be built in a qualitative way with attention paid to detailed issues so that the people who visit the resort would not feel even the slightest inconvenience.
He said a new field was developed in the service sector by turning the Yangdok County Hot Spring Resort into a curative and recuperative complex, adding that all the service workers have to learn general knowledge about spa culture and also the service form and contents of those countries with advanced spa culture.
We have to adjust and develop cultural and tourist bases throughout the country one by one just as how we developed the Yangdok County Hot Spring Resort so that our people can put the natural resources of the country to effective use, he said, noting that even though doing so is arduous now, the future generations will benefit from it if we do it in our generation.
It seems just yesterday when we unrolled the master blueprint for the construction of the hot spring resort in the quiet mountainous area and discussed the construction, but a miracle occurred in less than a year and Yangdok County has undergone an overall face-lifting, he said with deep emotion, adding that so good are the environment and atmosphere of the resort and that the place will be lively with people when spa and ski ground start operation. He said he might have felt so pleased if he had shown the changed view of Yangdok to Chairman Kim Jong Il.
He said he feels refreshing and reviving after touring the resort, adding it is a striking contrast to the Mt Kumgang tourist area, an overall and intuitive illustration of the fundamental difference between the architecture of capitalist businesses targeting profit-making from roughly built buildings and socialist architecture embodying the desire and aspiration of the working people.
Even a piece of architecture reflects the idea of the times, the height of the dignity of the people and the level of civilization and, therefore, construction is like an important ideological work, he said, calling for establishing Juche in architecture and thoroughly embodying our nation-first spirit and people-first spirit.
Calling the Yangdok County Hot Spring Resort a present of our Party to the people, he called for setting higher requirements and building it to be flawless.
He was accompanied by leading officials of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea Jang Kum Chol, Kim Yo Jong, Jo Yong Won, Ri Jong Nam, Yu Jin, Hong Yong Song, Hyon Song Wol, Jang Song Ho and Director of a bureau of the State Affairs Commission Ma Won Chun. -0-
UK KFA slams Foreign and Commonwealth Office's slanders against DPRK over "human rights "
UK KOREAN FRIENDSHIP ASSOCIATION
24th of October 2019
The UK Korean Friendship Association denounces the slanders against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) made in the Human rights priority countries: autumn 2019 ministerial statement of the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office :
Recently ,on the 22nd of October , the Foreign Office Minister Lord (Tariq) Ahmad of Wimbledon made a statement singled out the DPRK and other progressive countries such as Venezuela and Syria over "human rights " claiming that the DPRK and others were "human rights priority " countries . In particular Lord Ahmad claimed that "There was no improvement in the dire human rights situation in DPRK" though actually contradicted his own assertion by saying that there had been some areas of improvement . Such a contradictory statement by the Minister just goes to show that the FCO is talking nonsense and has politicized the issue of human rights in the DPRK , The FCO clearly lacks any objectivity and is trying to impose a subjective and distorted value system on the DPRK ,
There are no human rights violations in the DPRK , there are no concentration camps etc . Everyone in the DPRK has the right to free health , free education as well as a job and housing .These rights are not guaranteed in the UK and other Western countries.
Recently visiting the DPRK a delegation of UK KFA ,the Juche Idea Study Group of England and Juche Idea Study Group of Scotland saw no evidence of human rights violations , When they visited the Kim Jong Suk Textile Mill in Pyongyang they were told that workers got 2 hours break per day actually longer than many workers in Britain, The delegation also saw the Pohyon Temple in Mt Myohyang which showed that in fact religion is not suppressed in the DPRK and there is religious freedom.
UK KFA rejects the statement of the Foreign Office Minister as a total travesty and we denounce it.
The FCO should stop trying to interfere in the DPRK and stop making false statements about the DPRK .

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 British Solidarity Committee for Peace and Reunification (BSCPRKP) issued a joint statement in support of the statement issued by the DPRK Foreign Ministry titled "Exclusion of Korean Children from Supporting System Is Undisguised Hostile Move towards DPRK"
The Japanese reactionaries have committed the intolerable act of excluding Korean children from the Japanese educational system .The DPRK Foreign Ministry rightly describes this as a " unprecedented atrocity is a manifestation of vicious attempt to throw the whole of the Korean residents in Japan into a crucible of national exclusion and obliterate their nationality by all possible means." .The Japanese imperialists are basically attempting cultural genocide of Korean residents in Japan. The pent up anti-Japanese feelings of the people of the DPRK have been aroused and are intensifying.
Because the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan (CHONGRYON) is a dignified overseas citizens organisation of the DPRK the action of the Japanese authorities is a grave affront to the DPRK and an undisguised hostile action.
The DPRK Foreign Ministry says that there can be no dialogue with Japan and that the head of the Japanese reactionaries ,Abe , is not welcome in the DPRK , until Japan ceases its hostile actions towards Korean residents in Japan.We support this correct stand as it is fully justified.

KCNA Commentary Urges S. Korean Authorities to Be Prudent
Korean / English / Chinese / Russian / Spanish / Japanese
Pyongyang, October 24 (KCNA) -- The south Korean military authorities have become keen on introducing ultra-modern military hardware targeting the DPRK.
At the recent "parliamentary inspection of the administration", the military warmongers called for developing and updating lots of military hardware such as laser-guided anti-air weaponry, cyber and electronic warfare equipment, nuclear-powered sub, large transport ship and coastal detector and bringing in various sorts of sophisticated arms and weapons including stealth fighters, air tanker and drone allegedly to cope with threats from the DPRK.
The record arms buildup now pushed forward at the expense of astronomical amount of money by south Korea, not content with those that have already been brought for aggression, is an act of defiance against the Koreans and the international community aspiring after stability and peace on the Korean peninsula and in the region.
From the beginning of this year, the south Korean military group has persisted in the introduction of offensive weapons including F-35A and held more aggression war drills with outsiders than last year, maintaining that "there is no change in military posture despite the south-north agreement in the military field".
The arms and weapons which the south Korean military is going to develop and bring are all aggression means evidently targeting the DPRK and dangerous elements bringing serious harm to the stability of the region in the light of the purpose of their introduction and their strategic usage and capabilities in the sky, land and sea.
This reveals the hypocritical and sinister aim sought by the south Korean authorities who never open their mouth without the call for detente of military tension, building of confidence and improvement of ties.
Criticism of the present authorities is heard nonstop from the broad spectrum of the south Koreans over the military expenditure which far surpasses that under the conservative regimes. They are accusing the authorities of exploiting people by imposing the heavy burden of the upkeep for the U.S. forces in south Korea on them while engaging in escalating confrontation with the fellow countrymen, in disregard of their hardships.
The south Korean authorities are obliged to reflect on their dirty act of treachery and perfidy of reneging on the historic north-south agreement, before talking about the threats from someone.
We have warned more than once the south Korean authorities against their act of undermining trust, backtracking on the commitments and getting engrossed in the reckless arms buildup.
They should exercise prudence, clearly foreseeing what catastrophic fate they will meet for their continued military frenzy in defiance of the censure inside and outside. -0-

They are accusing the authorities of exploiting people by imposing the heavy burden of the upkeep for the U.S. forces in south Korea on them while engaging in escalating confrontation with the fellow countrymen, in disregard of their hardships.
The south Korean authorities are obliged to reflect on their dirty act of treachery and perfidy of reneging on the historic north-south agreement, before talking about the threats from someone.
We have warned more than once the south Korean authorities against their act of undermining trust, backtracking on the commitments and getting engrossed in the reckless arms buildup.
They should exercise prudence, clearly foreseeing what catastrophic fate they will meet for their continued military frenzy in defiance of the censure inside and outside. -0-
