Press Statement by Director General of Department of U.S. Affairs of DPRK Foreign Ministry


Pyongyang, May 18 (KCNA) -- Kwon Jong Gun, director general of the Department of U.S. Affairs of the Foreign Ministry of the DPRK, issued the following press statement on Saturday:


Recently, the U.S. Department of State designated the DPRK as an "uncooperative state in combating terrorism" for the reason that the latter does not cooperate in the former's "anti-terrorist efforts".


It is needless to comment on all such annually repeated habitual practices targeting the anti-U.S. independent states, but it is necessary to make our stand clear given that the U.S. talks about "cooperation" devoid of a sense of the reality, utterly ignorant of the current state of the DPRK-U.S. confrontation.


In conclusion, the DPRK and the U.S. are definitely in hostile relations, and it can be said there exists no field of cooperation between the DPRK and the U.S.


The U.S. "anti-terrorist efforts" are disguised encroachment upon sovereignty, which is aimed at interfering in the internal affairs of other countries and justifying its attempts to bring down their social systems and acts of aggression. They have nothing to do with the genuine international efforts for the eradication of terrorism.


It is a universal truth that intensified "anti-terrorist efforts" of the U.S. give rise to the emergence of various terrorist groups and escalated vicious cycle of terrorist attacks and retaliation, far from defusing the danger of terrorism in different parts of the world.


That's why the U.S. slogan of "anti-terrorism" is now being slandered and rejected by the international community and used internationally as an official term for characterizing Washington's aggressive foreign policy.


The U.S. would be well advised to work hard to stop its junior ally in the Middle East in its reckless state-sponsored terrorism, rather than wasting its energy in its foolish act of branding other countries as "terrorist states" under the pretext of the "efforts against terrorism".


It is the consistent stand of the DPRK to resolutely oppose all forms of terrorism threatening international peace and stability.


But we remind the U.S. once again that we have neither intention nor interest in cooperation with the U.S. in its "efforts against terrorism" exclusively used as a tool for interference and aggression on other sovereign states.


The DPRK will continue taking necessary measures to disclose before the international community such interference and acts of aggression openly committed by the U.S. under the signboard of "cooperation in combating terrorism" and to thoroughly foil them. -0-

Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un Guides Production Activities of Major Defence Industrial Enterprise














Pyongyang, May 18 (KCNA) -- Great achievements have been made even in carrying out the tasks for production for national defence assigned by the Central Military Commission of the Workers' Party of Korea, which attaches special importance to it, in the crucial period when epochal results have been achieved in the field of defence industry of the DPRK and remarkable changes are being made one after another in bolstering up its defence capabilities.


Kim Jong Un, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and president of the State Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, Friday visited a defence industrial enterprise which is bringing about an upsurge in the production of major weapons and equipment, and learned about its production activities.


The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un highly appreciated once again the distinguished feats performed by the enterprise in bolstering up the nuclear war deterrent of the country, expressing great satisfaction at the production results it achieved in the first half of 2024 and the prospect for fulfillment of the yearly munitions production plan.


Learning about the technologies of the parts of the newly updated combat equipment, he said he was pleased with the remarkable progress made by the enterprise and it is an encouraging success for the whole field of defence industry.


Noting that we cannot but more strictly acknowledge the necessity of bolstering up our nuclear war deterrent to cope with the security environment of the country created due to the enemies’ reckless military confrontation moves which have become more undisguised and desperately developed recently, he stressed the need to continue to accelerate important activities and production activities for more rapidly bolstering the nuclear force of the DPRK without halt and hesitation.


He said that the enemies would grow dreadful and dare not to play with fire only when they witness the nuclear combat posture of our state which is hard for them to realize, and that this just means war deterrent. He called for clearly showing the enemies the infinite capability of the DPRK developing rapidly.


He clarified the strategic tasks for discharging the important mission of the national defence field to firmly guarantee the peaceful life and safety of our people and defend the stable environment of the development of the country.


When the munitions production plan assigned by the WPK Central Military Commission as a long-term goal to be attained by 2025 is carried out, our nuclear forces will greet a very important change and occupy a remarkably raised strategic position.


He was accompanied by Pak Jong Chon, vice-chairman of the WPK Central Military Commission and secretary of the C.C., WPK, Jo Chun Ryong, secretary of the C.C., WPK, and Kim Jong Sik, first vice department director of the C.C., WPK. -0-

DPRK Missile Administration Conducts Test Fire of Tactical Ballistic Missile That Employs New Technology





Pyongyang, May 18 (KCNA) -- The DPRK Missile Administration conducted a test fire of tactical ballistic missile, which employed a new autonomous navigation system, in the East Sea of Korea on Friday.


Kim Jong Un, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and president of the State Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, oversaw the test fire.


The accuracy and reliability of the autonomous navigation system were verified through the test fire.


The test fire is part of the regular activities of the administration and its affiliated defence science institutes for rapid technological development of weapon systems.


The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, expressing great satisfaction at the strategic military value involved in the result of the independent development and successful introduction of the autonomous navigation system, highly appreciated the relevant defence science and technology team, which contributed to achieving the valuable success.


He was accompanied by Pak Jong Chon, Kim Jong Sik, Jang Chang Ha and Kim Yong Hwan. -0-

Today Association for the Study of Songun Politics UK(ASSPUK), the British Group for the Study of the  Juche Idea(BGSJI) and the Korean Friendship Association of the UK( KFA UK) issued a joint statement  in support of the press statement of comrade Kim Yo Jong , vice department director of the Central Committee (CC)of the Workers' Party of Korea(WPK);

The mainstream media of different Western countries have falsely asserted that the DPRK is supplying the Russian Federation with weapons including ballistic missiles . In her statement comrade Kim Yo Jong strongly refuted the spurious allegation about exporting weapons to the Russian Federation saying that "The technology of weapon systems we have recently developed and updated cannot be open to the public and, therefore, the possibility of export itself cannot be discussed.". This proves that it is a lie and complete nonsense that the DPRK is exporting weapons.

It is made clear that the DPRK's weaponry is not for display or for export but for war preparations . The DPRK's weaponry will not be exported to other countries but instead it will perform a vital role in deterring the threat of war created by the south Korean puppets.

Comrade Kim Yo Jong declares that the DPRK will continue to bolster its self-defence capablities in order to deter aggression from the south Korean puppets.

We support the correct stance of the DPRK !

Today Association for the Study of Songun Politics UK(ASSPUK), the British Group for the Study of the  Juche Idea(BGSJI) and the Korean Friendship Association of the UK( KFA UK) issued a joint statement  in support of the press statement of comrade  Pak Myong Ho, vice-minister for Chinese Affairs of the Foreign Ministry of the DPRK;

Recently , the miserable south Korean puppets went on a begging trip to the People's Republic of China and tried to draw China into their dirty schemes against People's Korea .

As the statement of comrade  Pak Myong Ho, vice-minister for Chinese Affairs of the Foreign Ministry of the DPRK points out "The root cause and source of ever-aggravating situation on the Korean peninsula just lie in the U.S. and the ROK following it....

No matter how desperately the ROK may try to disguise itself as a victim by racking its brain and playing on words to turn black into white, no one will be taken in by it any more and the DPRK-ROK relations can never be reversed."

It is foolish for the south Korean puppets to expect the DPRK to reverse its correct stance on inter-Korean relations and also ask China for help in doing so .

Moreover the visit of the south Korean puppet Foreign Minister to China is contradictory because south Korea is part of the US led anti-China alliance.

The press statement of the DPRK vice -foreign minister points out that "The ROK foreign minister's recent visit clearly showed that it is impossible to exist or live together in the least with the clans with such chronic disease as inveterate hostility and repugnancy toward the DPRK, and that the regional situation can never see restored stability as long as there exist the U.S. and the ROK kowtowing to it, the evil source and root cause of instability on the Korean peninsula."

This is indeed there can be no 'peaceful co-existence ' or co-operation with the hated ROK puppet regime .

The south Korean puppets should stop trying to drag other countries into their insidious schemes against People's Korea .

                                       London  17th May Juche 113(2024)

The Association for the Study of Songun Politics UK(ASSPUK),,British Group for the Study of the  Juche Idea(BGSJ)) and the Korean Friendship Association of the UK ( KFA UK) ) issued a joint statement on the occasion of the 43rd anniversary of the Kwangju uprising in south Korea ;
  45 years ago  the residents of Kwangju city in south Korea on the 18th of May 1980 rose up against the rotten and reactionary corrupt rule of the south Korean fascist puppet regime of Chun Du Hwan and the colonial domination of US imperialism over south Korea. The great leader President KIM IL SUNG said " the heroic popular uprising in Kwangju last May when large numbers of people arms in hand ,shook the fascist rule of south Korea to its very foundations and set the US imperialists and their stooges , the military fascists  atremble with anxiety and fear "

 The Kwangju uprising was a brave and heroic manifestation of the anti -fascist, anti- imperialist struggle of the south Korean popular masses and revolutionaries led by the Revolutionary Party for Reunification , the forerunner of the present Anti-Imperialist National Democratic Front of south Korea.
  On the 22nd of May  the spokesman  of the Revolutionary Party for Reunification issued a statement to support the armed mass uprising of patriotic people in South Cheolla Province including Mokpo following Kwangju on May 18, denouncing the cruelty of the Chun Doo-hwan clique which declared the martial law.
    The Kwangju uprising, which lasted 9 days , added a new chapter to the history of the struggle of the south Korean people for independence ,democracy and reunification .  The participants of the Kwangju uprising showed remarkable courage and determination in the face of intense fascist repression by the south Korean puppet reactionaries and the Yankee imperialists.
    The Kwangju uprising was a great inspiration to the peoples of the third world struggling against neo- colonialism and dictatorial regimes and it was a great example to anti- imperialist and anti -fascist fighters throughout the entire world . The Kwangju up risers fought bravely against the suppression of the armed forces of the south Korean puppet regime backed by the US imperialist aggression troops . The blood they shed was not in vain as one day their deaths will be avenged.
    The Kwangju uprising proved beyond doubt that independence and social change cannot come peacefully , that counter-revolutionary violence must be defeated  by revolutionary violence.
   On the occasion of the  44th  anniversary of the Kwangju uprising we salute the heroic spirit of the Kwangju uprisers .The struggle for the full democratization of south Korea including the abolition of the National Security Law. should be stepped up an expanded. The US troops who are the exploiters and oppressors of the south Korean people must be expelled from the soil of south Korea. Only when this happens can the spirits of the Kwangju uprisers finally rest in peace !.

We call for the overthrow of the hated ROK puppet regime.

44 years ago  the south Korean puppet fascists drowned the city of Kwangju in blood  .The south Korean fascist puppet army killed 5,000 people and injured 14,000 in the south Korean city of Kwangju .Here the residents had organised protests against the military fascist dictatorship of Chun Du Hwan . These protests quickly turned into an uprising against the military dictatorship and were forcibly put down by the south Korean military .It was a truly barbaric massacre ,an act of genocide by the south Korean military fascists against the civilian population .It was a fascist despotic act aimed at  suppressing the democrats and patriots of south Korea.
                                 

   Standing behind the south Korean puppets and manipulating them  were the US imperialists At the time the US held peacetime operational command over the south Korean puppet army , it could not move without the say so of the US commander in south Korea . Moreover the then south Korean military ruler Chun Do Hwan had been trained in the US and had also fought in the Vietnam war . He was a special agent of the US CIA.
                                     
                                 





   A special meeting was held at the White House on the 22nd of May 1980 attended by Edmund Muskie, Warren Christopher ,Zbigniew Brzezinski and Donald Gregg among others . It was decided here that the Kwangju uprising should be suppressed.
 

   On the 22nd of May 1980 US commander in south Korea general Wickham gave the green light for the south Korean armed forces to suppress the Kwangju uprising by force. US president Jimmy Carter said that security concerns must override human rights .
   

The US also sent the warship USS Coral Sea to south Korea to be on standby to assist the south Korean armed forces in the suppression of the Kwangju uprising.
  

  Thus the US imperialists are the true author of the Kwangju massacre. US imperialism has the blood of 5,000 south Koreans on its hands!

. Today the perpetrators of the Kwangju massacre still have not been brought to justice and remain at large. 
   Our organisations, the ASSPUK, BGSJI and KFA UK  , remembering the innocent lives that were ended by the south Korean puppets , call for the full facts of the massacre to be made public and for those responsible for slaughter, the remnants and descendants of the Chun fascist regime,  to be finally brought to justice.

Action Speaks Louder than Words: KCNA Commentary


Pyongyang, May 17 (KCNA) -- There is a string of rhetoric spouted by the U.S. rulers styling themselves "apostle of peace".


"The U.S. has no hostile intention towards the DPRK."


But the U.S. behavior is too shameless to blind the world people with such mere words "there is no hostile intention" as it is devoid of respect for the sovereignty and social system of the other party and guarantee for genuine right to development and peace.


Daily Mail, a British newspaper, said days ago that the U.S. air force deployed more than 100 missiles for destroying or neutralizing the nuclear facilities, various military bases and missile systems of the DPRK.


The missiles will reportedly be used to launch an EMP attack on not only the DPRK but also China and Russia in contingency, mounted on B-52 nuclear strategic bombers, drones and others.


The U.S. already staged "combined joint formation drill" with its ROK puppets, where they conducted training for making precision strike at the "core target" in the DPRK by mobilizing even MQ-9 Reaper, the air combat drone, for the first time.


What should not be overlooked is the fact that during the Freedom Shield joint military exercises in March this year, they conducted training according to the new OPLAN 2022 which made it a fait accompli to make a preemptive attack on the core facilities and areas of the DPRK, and designated more than 25 000 major objects in the DPRK as the first targets of strike in contingency and worked out a list of them.


In addition, the U.S. has actively promoted the nuke modernization such as the development, production and deployment of new-type intercontinental ballistic missile LGM-35A Sentinel, new-type nuclear bomb B61-13 and Stealth nuclear strategic bomber B-21 Raider under the pretext of coping with so-called "nuclear threat" from the DPRK, China and Russia, and officially approved the operational use of the modified version of B61-12 tactical nuclear bomb in the end of last year.


Against this backdrop, the large-scale joint military exercises Ulji Freedom Shield planned for August are already called "nuclear attack drills" in view of the prevailing situation and its nature.


The August joint military exercises aimed at finally perfecting and fully implementing the nuclear war plan like OPLAN 2022 by introducing ultra-modern military hardware, including nuclear strategic assets, clearly prove that "no hostile intention" often touted by the U.S. is deceptive hypocrisy.


The "nuclear strike drill," which set the DPRK as the main target and will be staged near its southern border can go over to an actual war any time in any way. Such unpredictable situation tells us that we should believe in our own strength absolutely overwhelming the enemies, not their words.


If the U.S. tries to test our strength and will through such provocations as large-scale joint military exercises in collusion with its stooges, it should first ponder over the disastrous consequences to be entailed by it.


We judge whether the U.S. has any hostile intention towards us or not by its action, not by its words. -0-

Military Commentator's Article


Pyongyang, May 17 (KCNA) -- Following is the full text of an article "Provocation to regional peace and security can never be tolerated" issued by a military commentator of the DPRK on Friday:


On May 16, the U.S. military sent F-22 stealth fighters deployed in Hawaii to the Korean peninsula and staged a "simulated air battle" with the Republic of Korea (ROK) for the first time.


Two F-22 stealth fighters of the U.S. air force and two F-35A stealth fighters of the ROK air force, involved in the drill, exchanged the roles of attack and defence with each other. The enemy media claim that the drill demonstrated the powerful "deterrent" to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK).


Without any explanation, we are well aware of why stealth fighters boasting of the "world's strongest" have been introduced.


The "revisit" of F-22 stealth fighters to the Korean peninsula only after seven months and their first "simulated air battle" are another clear proof of the hostile nature of the U.S. which has persistently encroached upon regional countries' rights to security while seeking the showdown of force with the DPRK.


The military gangsters of the ROK are now driving the military tension on the Korean peninsula into the extremity, keeping pace with their master's anti-DPRK confrontation scheme.


In May alone, the ROK staged the largest-ever drill, allegedly to cope with the DPRK's "air infiltration", by mobilizing the ground, naval and air forces, along with "2024 simultaneous joint drill of military corps" and "joint drill for defending islands in the first half of the year" near the border of the DPRK.


It also plans to stage a large-scale air drill involving more than 60 fighters such as F-35A and F-15K from May 17 to 24 and have a talk of special operation commanders with the U.S. at the end of this month so as to discuss "beheading operation".


All the facts remind us once again that the strengthened military alliance and deployment of strategic assets by the U.S. are the main root of further escalating the military tension and unpredictability in the region.


The deployment of F-22 will only precipitate the advent of a situation that the U.S. does not want to see, rather than its military effect.


The more frequent "visit" by unbidden guest across the ocean will further promote the epochal occasions that help step up the war readiness of the DPRK and, the accumulation of such occasions will be turned into a new strategic phase that the U.S. is afraid of and has to be frightened.


It will not be a wise behavior to neglect the bolstering of the force capable of neutralizing the military effect of the U.S. deployment of strategic assets and annihilating the source of provocation and the commanding forces in possible case of emergency, though it is hard to completely contain such deployment, to be continued in the future.


The military provocations of the U.S. and the ROK against the DPRK will never escape frustration due to the powerful practical counteraction of the DPRK for defending the national security and regional peace. -0-

Press Statement of Vice Department Director of C.C., WPK Kim Yo Jong


Pyongyang, May 17 (KCNA) -- Kim Yo Jong, vice department director of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, issued the following press statement on Friday.


As already reported, our defence industry has made rapid progress, repeating technological transformation.


I am not going to give another explanation of it but I feel need to take the fact that the hostile forces are misleading the public opinion with a false rumor that the weapon systems produced by the DPRK are "for export to Russia".


As we have already stated several times, the "rumor about arms dealings between the DPRK and Russia" woven with mistaken view and fiction is the most absurd paradox which is not worth making any evaluation or interpretation.


The technology of weapon systems we have recently developed and updated cannot be open to the public and, therefore, the possibility of export itself cannot be discussed.


We have no intention to export our military technical capabilities to any country or open them to the public.


But to satisfy great curiosity, I make our stand clear.


The recent diverse activities in our national defence sector are pursuant to the five-year plan for our national defence development and it is aimed at bolstering our army's combat efficiency from A to Z.


What is most urgent for us is not to "advertise" or "export" something, but to make the war readiness and war deterrent of our army more perfect in quality and quantity and to make the enemy unable to overcome the inferiority in military capability.


No matter how much rhetoric they spread with such wild guess as that our weapon systems are "for export", it would not be easy for them to allay their security uneasiness while seeing our increased military muscle which they are hard to feel actually.


Tactical weapons including multiple rocket launchers and missiles shown by us recently are produced to discharge the only one mission.


We don't conceal the fact that such weapons will be used to prevent Seoul from inventing any idle thinking.


The more persistently the U.S. resorts to different military acts of threatening the DPRK by instigating the ROK military vassals and the more desperately the ROK keeps clinging to its confrontation posture while boosting its reckless "boldness", in reliance on its master, the more thickly the dark clouds and shadow of curse would hang over their heads.


We will more briskly conduct necessary activities in direct proportion to the undisguised and tricky political scheme by the hostile forces against our state. -0-

Press Statement of Vice-minister of Foreign Affairs of DPRK


Pyongyang, May 16 (KCNA) -- Pak Myong Ho, vice-minister for Chinese Affairs of the Foreign Ministry of the DPRK, released the following press statement titled "ROK is bound to meet disgrace and ruin for its 'soliciting' and 'begging' diplomacy" on May 16:


Jo Thae Ryol, minister of Foreign Affairs of the ROK, visited China some days ago.


It is needless to explain why the top diplomat of the ROK, distressed with extreme internal and external crisis brought by its sycophancy toward the U.S. and Japan and anti-people misrule, hastily opted for a foreign trip.


I also don't care about with what current and to what direction the boat in danger of wreck called the ROK, lost at sea, would drift away.


But I can never overlook Jo Thae Ryol's awful attempt to hurt the dignity and prestige of the DPRK.


During his trip, Jo Thae Ryol impudently said "the north defined the south-north relations as hostile ones in denial of unification," expressing "concern over the north's threatening remarks and various provocations that escalate tensions on the Korean peninsula and other parts of the region.


He reportedly made a series of requests for a "constructive role for peace and stability on the Korean peninsula and denuclearization of the north."


This is just like a guilty party filing the suit first.


The whole world knows who is the very one that has turned the Korean peninsula and other parts of Northeast Asia into the world's worst hotspot and a touch-and-go powder magazine by staging war drills of aggressive nature almost every day throughout the year, talking about the "end of regime" in the DPRK.


The root cause and source of ever-aggravating situation on the Korean peninsula just lie in the U.S. and the ROK following it.


No matter how desperately the ROK may try to disguise itself as a victim by racking its brain and playing on words to turn black into white, no one will be taken in by it any more and the DPRK-ROK relations can never be reversed.


It is a clear indication of impudence and shamelessness of the ROK that its diplomat visited the capital of the People's Republic of China and talked about "constructive role" in his capacity as a servant proactively involved in the U.S.-led anti-China military alliance inching close to China's security sphere.


This time, Jo Thae Ryol impudently displayed bravery by daringly saying that he is "opposed to zero-sum game" and that he is "willing to jointly open up a new phase of ROK-China cooperation." As the ROK is tightly tied up to the carriage of the "neo-Cold War" recklessly driven by the war coachman called the U.S., I cannot but ask if he has the courage to unloose the tie by himself and jump down from it.


The ROK foreign minister's recent visit clearly showed that it is impossible to exist or live together in the least with the clans with such chronic disease as inveterate hostility and repugnancy toward the DPRK, and that the regional situation can never see restored stability as long as there exist the U.S. and the ROK kowtowing to it, the evil source and root cause of instability on the Korean peninsula.


Sovereignty means national rights and national rights just constitute life.


To preserve our right to security in the present environment has become a primary issue in defending and exercising our sovereignty.


No matter how earnestly the diplomats of the ROK order someone a constructive role through soliciting and begging diplomacy, the trite diplomatic mode of politicians in the 20th century, we will never give up our sovereign rights crucial to our lives.


Politicians of the ROK should first stop at once their reckless act of pushing the regional situation to catastrophe in collusion with outsiders, instead of provoking hatred and disillusionment of the international community toward their mean and disgusting behavior.


It is a matter of time for the wrecked ship "Yoon Suk Yeol" hanging by a thread to sink. -0-

Press Statement of DPRK Ambassador to Russian Federation


Pyongyang, May 16 (KCNA) -- DPRK Ambassador to the Russian Federation Sin Hong Chol Thursday released the following press statement titled "Extreme unethical terrorism must be punished":


Recently, the Ukrainian forces' missile attack and shelling against Belgorod Region, the western border region of Russia, caused many civilian casualties, stunning the international community.


According to media reports, the Ukrainian forces attacked residential buildings in Belgorod Region by using the tactical missile complex Tochka-U and multiple rocket launchers on May 12, leaving 15 innocent inhabitants dead and 30-odd wounded in the collapse of a 10-story apartment building.


This is not the first time for the neo-Nazis of Ukraine, faithful to the U.S. and the West, to launch such terrorist attacks against innocent inhabitants.


As everyone knows, after the outbreak of the Ukrainian crisis, the Zelenskiy puppet clique committed hundreds of unethical atrocities of killing innocent inhabitants by striking civilian objects in the territory of Russia, including Bryansk Region, Belgorod Region, Kursk Region and the People's Republic of Donetsk, with artillery pieces, drones and multiple rocket launchers offered by the U.S. and the West.


The Kiev authorities' persistent acts of terrorism targeting innocent inhabitants and civilian infrastructures, being committed in dirty "revenge" for their repeated defeats in the military confrontation with Russia, are a manifestation of meanness common among the running dogs tamed by the U.S. and the West.


Can the Zelenskiy clique, a puppet of the U.S., turn the tide of war with the rotten stick- and tiger moth-like weapons given by the Western stakeholders?


If they continue such reckless and stupid acts, bereft of normal thinking and judging faculty, they must remember that they will only meet miserable self-destruction.


What should not be overlooked is the fact that the U.S. and the West, which have worked hard to demonize Russia with such labels as “massacre of civilians”, “forcible drafting of children” and “human rights abuses”, feign ignorance of the killings of peaceful citizens by the Ukrainian army.


This fully reveals the sinister intention of the U.S. and the West which have pushed the Zelenskiy authorities to confrontation and war with Russia, while openly conniving at and encouraging even their violent murder, in a bid to inflict strategic defeat upon Russia.


The U.S. and the West should be called the top-class sponsors of terrorism as they are adding fuel to the flames of war by encouraging the mad terrorists to attack the Russian territory with the weapons offered by them, not content with providing them with a large number of lethal weapons, far from calming down the madness of terrorists hell-bent on killing innocent civilians.


The Zelenskiy clique and its stakeholders should seriously ponder over what devastating consequences and global disaster would be entailed by the reckless acts of targeting the territory and inhabitants of Russia, a nuclear power, in the end.


The Zelenskiy clique is putting on airs, calling for defeating Russia, a country of compatriots, with the backing of the U.S. and the West, but it is nothing but a "storm in a teacup." And nothing can ever stop the vigorous advance of the heroic Russian army and people armed with ardent spirit of national defence and patriotism.


The valiant Russian army and people all out in the sacred war of justice to defend the sovereign rights and security of the state will bravely overcome the difficulties and challenges and surely win victory in the special military operation to annihilate neo-Nazis. -0-

Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un Inspects Completed Central Cadres Training School of WPK






















Pyongyang, May 16 (KCNA) -- In the historic period, when a new heyday of strengthening the whole Party is being ushered in under the five-point Party building line in the new era clarified by the great Comrade Kim Jong Un, the Central Cadres Training School of the Workers' Party of Korea, the highest institute of training Party cadres, has been successfully built as a model of Juche-oriented architecture and the education sector.


Kim Jong Un, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and president of the State Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, gave field guidance at the school on May 15.


Accompanying him were secretaries of the WPK Central Committee.


He was greeted on the spot by officials of the design and construction units involved in the construction project.


Enjoying a panoramic view of the school, wonderfully built to mirror the valiant spirit and nature of the ever-victorious WPK and show its eternal rosy future, he said with great pleasure that the school looked majestic, and that the genuine model educational institution was built by our own efforts.

KFA UK condemns the presence of British warships in Korean waters


              15th of May 2024

The Korean Friendship Association of the UK today issued the following statement ;

 The Korean Friendship Association of the UK (KFA UK ) totally condemns the presence of " HMS Spey " of the British Royal Navy in Korean waters .

The Royal Navy and UK Ministry of Defence have been boasting shamelessly that they have sent a British warship to Korean waters which infringes on the sovereignty of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK ) and threatens peace . It is nothing to be proud of or brag about . Indeed the British government are indulging imperialist gunboat diplomacy which was outdated even in the 20th century let alone the 21st  century .


The "HMS Spey " is a 2,000 ton vessel equipped with 30mm guns . Its deployment in Korean waters, to supposedly 'police' or 'monitor ' the totally illegal , unjust and unfair sanctions against People's Korea which are aimed at crippling the economy of the DPRK and overthrowing the people-centred socialist system of the DPRK ,is a vile act of intimidation against People's Korea .


The presence of the HMS Spey in waters near to the DPRK is a massive waste of British taxpayers money . Why isn't the HMS Spey deployed in British waters to secure borders ?


We also denounce the British government for increasing co-operation with the hated south Korean fascist puppet regime which is the Number 1 enemy of the DPRK. Britain is helping to prop up the reactionary fascist puppet regime in south Korea  as well as backing US imperialism !


We urge KFA UK members and supporters to send letters of protest to the UK MoD and UK FCDO ! 


Hands off People's Korea !

No to British support for south Korea !

US and British imperialism out of Korea !


KFA UK !

The large architectural group, which presents a spectacular scene with high-rise and super-high-rise apartment houses of various styles, including an iconic 80-storey apartment building, and public buildings, is an admirable gift of labor presented to the country and the people by the reliable young vanguard who are upholding and defending the cause of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) with ardent patriotism and loyalty. It is also a creation of the dynamic advance of Korean-style socialism.

The respected fatherly Marshal Kim Jong Un paid special care for the construction of a new street in the Sopho area where the indomitable stamina of the brave young vanguard always faithful to the call of the Party and the country would be displayed, and gave strength and courage to those young people with his boundless love and trust and guided them step by step to fully demonstrate the organizing ability, unity and patriotic devotion peculiar to the Korean youth in the grand construction site of the capital city.
