From Voice of Korea-Railway Station Built on the Wihwa Island

http://vok.rep.kp/index.php/detail_com/comde/iee260810002/57/en

  The Sinuiju Combined Greenhouse Farm built on the shore of the River Amnok at the northwestern end of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is a monumental creation with a beautiful combination of a thousand and hundreds of modern greenhouses of different types, vegetable science research centre, modern houses, various bases for cultural life and peculiar landscape.

  It was inaugurated on February 1, 2026.

  In the farm area there is the Wihwado Railway Station which deals with the transportation of the vegetables produced at the farm and the processed goods produced at the vegetable processing factory.

  Here is a story telling how the railway station was built on the Wihwa Island.

  While guiding the construction of the Sinuiju Combined Greenhouse Farm, the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un specially emphasized that our construction should be steadily oriented to the new and development and the designs should reflect the multi-functional, multipurpose and practical ways suited to the characteristics, functions and prospectiveness of the projects concerned.

  Learning about the plan of laying out the Sinuiju Combined Greenhouse Farm, he said the Wihwado Railway Station should be a freight station carrying the vegetables produced at the farm, not tourists or passengers.

  And he stressed the need to change the functional structure of the railway station so that it can enhance its functionality and practicality as a comprehensive transport centre, build a new vegetable storehouse and place the vegetable processing factory around it.

  This is how the Wihwado Railway Station was built into the one fit for its use.

 80 years ago on the 1st of October 1946 , KIM IL SUNG university was founded .This was the first people's university in Korea , a new type of university which would serve the interests of the working people and contribute greatly to the building of a new socialist state in Korea. It was. and is, totally different to the so-called "seats of higher learning "in the capitalist countries which only cater for the children of the bourgeoisie and the rich and privileged sections of society. Such capitalist universities only teach the most reactionary and backward anti-popular ideology and social science whereas KIM IL SUNG University teaches the advanced social science of Juche .Indeed KIM IL SUNG University is the palace of Juche-orientated social science and the acme of revolutionary education and learning in People's Korea.
   

KIM IL SUNG University is associated with the leadership feats of the great leader President KIM IL SUNG. He set up the university with the patriotic rice donation of the peasant Kim Je Won.KIM IL SUNG university was the first institution of higher learning in the new People's Korea which had previously not had any university or institute of higher learning.
   

 The University is also closely associated with the revolutionary activities of the great leader comrade KIM JONG IL who studied at the university for 4 years.It was here that comrade KIM JONG IL made his pledge to glorify Korea .Standing on the Ryongnam Hill he said 

  "As I stand on Ryongnam Hill at sunrise,

The land of 3,000 ri greets my eyes.

Learning the leader's great idea,

I will be the master of the revolution in this land, Korea.

0 Korea, I will add glory to thee.

-

On the road of Juche I will be firm and steady

Under the guidance of the great leader.

Braving the raging waves and storms,

I will lead Korea into the future.

O Korea, I will make thee famous.

I will go on for ever with the cause of the sun

That shines over the whole world.

I will bring about the era of communism

When the red glow of Juche will cover the earth. 

O Korea, my Korea!

    It was here at the KIM IL SUNG University that the great leader comrade KIM JONG IL wrote many important works such as The Characteristics of Modern imperialism and Its Aggressive Nature and The Place and Role of the County in the Building of Socialism.
  

Today KIM IL SUNG University is the premier university of the DPRK. It is a truly world class university it has many faculties and departments and the latest equipment .Visiting the University in 2012 and 2015 delegations of the ASSPUK, JISGE and UK KFA were most impressed.The University has an e-library and also a modern swimming pool and gymnasium.It is far superior to any university in a capitalist country. Moreover the education is given free of charge. We understand that there are plans to expand the university even further .
   On the occasion of the 80th anniversary of its foundation we wish the teachers, staff and students of KIM IL SUNG University every success in their responsible work.

25th of September 2026

 The British Group for the Study of the Juche Idea and  the  Korean Friendship Association of the UK  KFA  UK )  , issued a joint statement in support of the press statement   of the spokesman for the Foreign Ministry of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) that was issued on the 24th of September;

Recently , a  ministerial meeting of the ghost-like so-called  "Friends of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty" was held in New York at which a joint statement was issued which condemning the DPRK's self-defensive nuclear activities.

The Spokesman for the DPRK Foreign Ministry correctly terms this as " a grave political provocation against the DPRK such behavior of the hostile forces who took issue with the DPRK's legitimate and just exercise of its sovereign rights under the pretext of the promotion of earlier effectuation of the CTBT"  which the DPRK both rejects and condemns .

Ironically those countries sponsoring the meeting were all satellite states or close allies of the US , a country which has done more to destroy the international nuclear non-proliferation system than anyone else .

The US since the 1950s deployed nuclear weapons abroad . In recent years it created the AKUS alliance and transferred to Australia a nuclear submarine . The US is conniving at the remiltarisation of Japan and its possible nuclearization ,

We would like to add the comment that it seems to us , that the US deep state and certain other forces are too keen to revive the old "nuclear issue " of the DPRK and set the scene for a confrontation with the DPRK .

The DPRK Foreign Ministry spokesman declares that " Such stereotyped racket of some dishonest forces has no impact on the DPRK's position as a nuclear weapons state."

Our organisations resolutely condemn all attempts by dishonest forces to revive the old 'nuclear issue ' of the DPRK which was resolved when the DPRK's nuclear status became protected by the laws of the DPRK !

"Decisive Centre of Collective Defence" Will Be Decisive Target of Collective Punishment: Section Chief of DPRK Institute of Enemy State Studies

Pyongyang, September 25 (KCNA) -- An article of Kang Chol Su, section chief of the DPRK Institute of Enemy State Studies, titled "The 'decisive centre of collective defence' will be a decisive target of collective punishment" was published on September 25.

The following is the full text of the article:

The U.S. is more openly revealing its gangster-like nature to use the ROK as its key base for implementing its hegemonic strategy and as its mercenaries in the regional conflict.

At a recent "ROK-U.S. international security seminar", the commander of U.S. forces in the ROK termed the ROK a "decisive centre for collective defence," asserting that the security on the Korean peninsula is directly linked with the stability of Northeast Asia, the western hemisphere and the whole Pacific.

He talked about the redesigning of the security of the Korean peninsula, stressing the need for the ROK and the U.S. to jointly cope with the threat from outside the Korean peninsula.

This is a clearer manifestation of the attempt to completely discard the deceptive veil of "defense of the ROK," which has so far been used as the justification for the existence of the U.S.-ROK alliance, and to tie the ROK to the aggressive "collective defense" system for implementing the strategy for world hegemony.

The "collective defense" is a keynote of the present U.S. administration's "National Defence Strategy". It is a brigandish doctrine of aggression aimed at driving its allies to any strife-torn areas in the world under the pretext of "joint response to a common threat".

The fact that the military value of the ROK has been promoted to "decisive center of collective defense" means that the whole territory of the ROK will play the role of a key base for the U.S. in fighting the overseas aggressive war and the ROK's forces will be deployed as first mercenaries, earlier than any others, in any place indicated by their American master.

Getting clearer is the reason why the U.S. has openly revealed its intention to use the geopolitical position of the ROK for carrying out its strategy for hegemony outside the Korean peninsula under a "upside down map," highlighting the ROK's position as a fixed aircraft carrier for deterring the DPRK, China and Russia and a dagger in the heart of Asia.

In fact, the U.S. attempt to place the ROK at the centre of the "collective defence" system has been put into speedy practice to pose real danger.

The U.S. has reduced its forces in Europe and other regions, but deployed MQ-9 Reaper drone unit for strategic purposes and more F-16 fighters in the ROK. It even seeks to deploy the multi-domain mobile task force. This is a part of its practical design to involve the ROK in the "collective defence" system.

This has been proved by the fact that the U.S. has enhanced the joint operation system and integrated operation capacity by involving the ROK forces in such multi-national military exercises in the Asia-Pacific region as RIMPAC and Pacific Vanguard conducted far beyond the Korean peninsula and its vicinity, not content with Ulji Freedom Shield and other joint military drills with the ROK and Japan.

Shackled by the U.S. "collective defense" system, the ROK is playing a suicidal role as top-class war servant of the U.S. by willingly accepting to increase its defense cost, build nuclear submarines, introduce multi-domain operational system and integrated missile defense system, massively purchase U.S. war hardware and build and overhaul U.S. warships, all of which are transcending its "defense requirements."

The U.S. strategy of "modernizing the alliance," which is being carried out on a global scale, beyond the boundary of the Korean peninsula, under the signboard of "collective defense", and sycophancy of the ROK blindly following it are exposing the security of the Korean peninsula, the region and the world to graver danger.

The ROK, which will play the role of a "decisive center for collective defense," has turned into the most obvious cancer-like entity that stokes the instability of the region and the world, and this will inevitably provoke the heightened vigilance and strengthened readiness of the countries and the region regarding it as a threat.

The DPRK, which borders the ROK, has already made full preparations in anticipation of such developments and clarified its resolute stand to mercilessly deter and frustrate any challenge doing harm to the sphere of its security by dint of its superpowerful military muscle.

The ROK, which has emerged as a "decisive center for collective defense," pursuant to the U.S. strategic interests, will become a decisive target of collective punishment. -0-

Spokesman for DPRK Foreign Ministry Issues Press Statement

Pyongyang, September 24 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the Foreign Ministry of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea released the following press statement on September 24:

A "joint statement" accusing the DPRK of its self-defensive nuclear activities was cooked up and released at a recent ministerial meeting of the "Friends of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty" held in New York.

The Foreign Ministry of the DPRK strongly condemns and rejects as a grave political provocation against the DPRK such behavior of the hostile forces who took issue with the DPRK's legitimate and just exercise of its sovereign rights under the pretext of the promotion of earlier effectuation of the CTBT.

The member states of the "Friends of the CTBT", which sponsored the recent ministerial meeting, are the allies or satellite countries of the U.S., the chief culprit systematically destroying the international nuclear non-proliferation system. So they have neither qualification nor face to debate the DPRK's legitimate exercise of its right to self-defence.

It has been 30 years since the conclusion of the CTBT, but it has not yet come into effect. It is entirely because of the U.S. and its vassal forces which have openly committed criminal nuclear proliferation out of their wild ambition to secure their global nuclear hegemony.

The U.S.-led nuclear proliferation, from the sharing of nuclear weapons with NATO in the 1950s and deployment of its nuclear weapons abroad to the emergence of the nuclear submarine alliance AUKUS and the transfer of nuclear submarine technology to the ROK, has been recorded as grave threats to international peace and security.

In particular, remilitarization of Japan revealing its ill-intended scheme to arm itself with nuclear weapons through the modification of the Three Non-Nuclear Principles and the retrogressive constitutional amendments, oblivious of the lesson from its defeat in the Second World War, constitutes an actual security challenge to be strictly watched and deterred by the international community.

The criminal acts of the countries failing to honour their nuclear-disarmament and nuclear non-proliferation duty are being connived at, but a sovereign state's legitimate exercise of its right to self-defence is being faulted. As such abnormal situation lingers, the international nuclear disarmament system and the nuclear non-proliferation system are being shaken to their roots.

Such stereotyped racket of some dishonest forces has no impact on the DPRK's position as a nuclear weapons state.

The DPRK will never tolerate any attempts to deny its national sovereignty and constitutional position but make positive contributions to the international efforts for ensuring peace of the Korean peninsula and the rest of the world as a responsible nuclear weapons state. -0-

24th of September 2026

 The British Group for the Study of the Juche Idea and  the  Korean Friendship Association of the UK  KFA  UK )  , issued a joint statement in support of the press statement  of  Choe Son Hui, foreign minister of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea(DPRK) which was titled "The DPRK remains unchanged in its will to keep nuclear weapons forever": that was made on Thursday 24th of September ;

Recently , Rubio , the US secretary for state met Japanese and ROK top diplomats on the side-lines of the 81st UN General Assembly and declared that the DPRK should 'denuclearise '.The DPRK Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui rightly characterises this as "The U.S., Japan and the ROK fully expressed their anachronistic and confrontational nature once again to remain invariably hostile to the DPRK by raising the unrealistic "denuclearization" target."

The statement of the US, ROK and Japan shows that no matter what they may say from time to time , they remain fixed with their obsession to "denuclearise " the DPRK which is of course simply a codeword for regime change .

Choe Son Hui as Foreign Minister of the DPRK reaffirmed in the strongest terms the will of the DPRK to maintain its nuclear deterrent  and that the DPRK's nuclear status is irreversible .

Moreover Choe Son Hui declares that   "The strong-arm policy against the DPRK came to failure, and any state or force can never compel us to withdraw from defending the national sovereignty and the core interests.". The DPRK is not backing down or compromising its fundamental interests  . We applaud this.

The DPRK will not consider a dialogue that is accompanied with confrontation . Also so long as the US and its allies continue to demand 'denuclearisation ' , the DPRK will harden its attitude towards them .

Our organisations denounce the denuclearisation racket of the US , ROK and Japan . We also support the will of the DPRK to not abandon its nuclear weapons and to harden its stance towards the US .

Press Statement of DPRK Foreign Minister

Pyongyang, September 24 (KCNA) -- Choe Son Hui, foreign minister of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, on Thursday released the following press statement "The DPRK remains unchanged in its will to keep nuclear weapons forever":

The U.S., Japan and the ROK fully expressed their anachronistic and confrontational nature once again to remain invariably hostile to the DPRK by raising the unrealistic "denuclearization" target.

At the tripartite talks held on the sideline of the 81st session of the UN General Assembly, the diplomatic authorities of the U.S., Japan and the ROK made public a "joint statement", in which they reconfirmed the firm will to "denuclearize" someone according to the "resolution" of the UN Security Council.

This proved once again that no matter how the U.S. and its allies change their expressions and let loose a string of rhetoric, they do not give up a daydream about "denuclearization" and can never drop it.

It is not new that the "denuclearization" issue was discussed at the meeting of the U.S., Japan and the ROK which have adopted antagonism toward the DPRK as their state policies, and on the contrary, it would have been surprised and questionable if there had been no mention about it.

As the foreign minister of the DPRK, I reaffirm and reconfirm in the strongest tone of voice the steadfast will of our state to keep nuclear weapons through all ages, which is irreversible in any case and will remain unchanged forever.

The strong-arm policy against the DPRK came to failure, and any state or force can never compel us to withdraw from defending the national sovereignty and the core interests.

The coexistence of confrontation and dialogue may be workable for anyone, but they can never be considerable one for the DPRK.

Steadfast is our appreciation and stand that nuclear weapons are the core component of national sovereignty and the most reliable guarantee for defending sovereign rights that no one can provoke. And the more loudly the U.S. and its allies may cry out for "denuclearization", the more it will only prove the validity of our state's just access to nuclear weapons and give a justification for strengthening them and harden its stand against the U.S. and the enemies.

To deny the reality is to give up the future.

There is no change in the fact that the DPRK's position as a nuclear weapons state will be everlasting as inviolable one in disregard of the hostile forces' rhetorical assertion, and it is inevitable to reorganize and fix the geopolitical structure centered on the DPRK with nukes. -0

Test of Updated 240 mm-Calibre Controlled Multiple-Launch Rockets Conducted in DPRK

Pyongyang, September 24 (KCNA) -- Under the artillery and missile forces modernization plan for attaining the five-year goal of national defence development, the defence scientific research sector of the DPRK conducted a test of updated 240 mm-calibre controlled multiple-launch rockets on September 22.

The test was guided by Ko Pyong Hyon, chairman of the Second Economy Commission of the DPRK.

The test was overseen by KPA Marshal Pak Jong Chon, vice-chairman of the Central Military Commission of the Workers' Party of Korea, Full General Kim Jong Sik, first vice department director of the Central Committee of the WPK, Full General Jang Chang Ha, general director of the Missile Administration of the DPRK, and Major General Yu Chang Son, director of the Artillery Bureau of the General Staff of the Korean People's Army.

The autonomous pinpoint guide system was applied to the updated 240 mm-calibre controlled multiple-launch rockets. The updated rockets are capable of striking the targets 100 km away in a trajectory flight mode and those 115 km away in a combined glide mode.

That day's test proved the hit accuracy and superiority of the range-extended rockets.

The leading cadres expressed their unanimous view that the development of range-extended rockets assures them of a significant change in the firepower readiness along the southern border.

Referring to the idea of the head of state on giving priority to the development of the army artillery and missile forces, KPA Marshal Pak Jong Chon stressed the need to concentrate the deadliest and destructive attack forces on southern border.

Recalling the idea of the instructions given by the head of state that to constantly expose the enemy to extreme uneasiness and fear constitutes an important and decisive part in exercising the war deterrent, he underscored the need to make the enemy aware of the fact that we have replaced all our armed forces' long-range strike means with the latest ones at the earliest date.

To build the most powerful artillery force is our Party's principal defence building strategy emphasized again at the Second Meeting of the Ninth Central Military Commission of the WPK, he said, requesting for greater efforts and activities of the defence science research sector and the munitions industrial workers to bolster up the military muscle. -0-

 The British Group for the Study of the Juche Idea and  the  Korean Friendship Association of the UK  KFA  UK )  , issued a joint statement in support of the press statement of spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea(DPRK ) that was issued on Monday 21st of September ;

On the 16th of September  the so-called "Multilateral Sanctions Monitoring Team "(MSMT) ", a body that has no real legal authority whatsoever , published a report slandering the DPRK's routine economic  co-operation with other countries . The so-called report consists of fabricated information supplied by paid hack "academics " who pretend to the "experts " on the DPRK.

The so-called MSMT is a body that exists outside of the UN and was something cobbled together by the US and certain other Western countries that are satellite states of US imperialism . The DPRK Foreign Ministry spokesperson correctly states that "The MSMT is a ghost group lacking any legality in the justification and purpose of existence. Its illegal act committed under the signboard of implementing the UN "resolution" is just a violation of the UN Charter and international law and a mockery of the international community"

The MSMT has no right to interfere in relations between the DPRK and other countries .

The so-called MSMT is just a body created by the US and others to try and stifle the independent development of the DPRK by means of sanctions. As the DPRK Foreign Ministry spokesperson says " it is unchangeable that the MSMT is no more than a political tool for ensuring their specific interests and pressurizing sovereign states"

The DPRK will not bow down to the US and the other Western countries but will continue to develop friendly co-operative relations with other countries.

We denounce the MSMT and call for its dissolution !

The lecture referred to the detailed issues for improving the effectiveness of the ideological and political work by further enhancing the sense of obligation and responsibility of the officials in the information sector of the Party in the struggle for modeling the entire Party and the whole society on the revolutionary ideology of great Comrade Kim Jong Un.

Then the workshop dealt with the issue of successfully conducting the education in the revolutionary relics and the leadership exploits of the Party, regarding it as the key point of ideological education.

The lecturer explained the methodological ways for further enhancing the cognitional and educational effect in education through the revolutionary relics and the leadership exploits of the Party, the root and starting point of the ideological work of the Party, and intensifying it in a substantial way on the principle of historicism and scientific accuracy.

There was a lecture on stepping up the information and publicity offensive to rouse the masses to implementation of the decisions of the Ninth Congress of the WPK.

Through the lecture, the participants kept deep in their minds the orientation of information and agitation work and all principled issues arising in making sure that the working spirit and traits, displayed in pioneering the era of comprehensive development, and the trend of gigantic changes prevailing in all sectors of socialist construction result in steady upsurge, and in properly setting the focus of ideological work in conformity with the specific conditions of every sector and unit to wage an intensive campaign for joint and collective innovations.

The workshop also dealt with the issue of studying fresh forms and methods of ideological work and conducting information work in a realistic and appealing manner and the issue of conducting motivation and agitation with visual aids as required by the Party's policy to maximize their effectiveness.

The lecturers explained the principled and theoretical issues, including the one of exploring and applying new forms and methods of ideological work while studying the Party's policies, the situation and the undertakings from an enterprising and positive standpoint, the one of thoroughly ensuring the politico-ideological characters, timeliness, visualization and culture in displaying political visual aids and preparing the information workers to be the ideological standard-bearers of our Party possessed of high political and professional qualifications and noble humanity.

The participants watched videos dealing with the successes, experience and lessons recently gained and drawn by information units at different levels and there was a question-and-answer session on the practical issues arising in the Party's ideological work.

While deeply studying the contents of the lectures during the workshop in organic correlation with the immediate practical requirements and the prospective requirements of the revolution, they focused their thinking and research on broadly acquiring the essence, exquisite principle and mature methodology of ideological work.

They actively exchanged and shared the good views and experience that would help acquire the innovative work style and manner of always aspiring after new things and development as a habit and ensure the purposeful and meticulous nature of ideological work under a good plan.

A letter of pledge to Comrade Kim Jong Un was adopted with fervent applause of the participants.

The Third Workshop for Officials in the Information Sector of the Workers' Party of Korea, held under the guidance of Comrade Kim Jong Un, marked a significant occasion in further strengthening the Party and the revolutionary ranks into a fortress of single-minded unity and an ideologically pure entity and reliably guaranteeing the steady advance and succession of our cause by boosting the might of the Juche-based theory of attaching importance to ideology in the course of opening up a new era and a new sphere of struggle. -0-

Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un Makes Important Speech at Closing Ceremony of Third Workshop for Officials in Information Sector of WPK

Pyongyang, September 22 (KCNA) -- Comrade Kim Jong Un, General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea, made an important speech at the closing ceremony of the Third Workshop for Officials in the Information Sector of the WPK on September 21.

He said in the speech:

Comrades,

I think that this workshop has been conducted well in keeping with the intended purpose of making it an important occasion for bringing about an innovation in the ideological work.

First, you must have acquired a full understanding of our Party's immutable ideology-first principle, the common aspiration to a new level of ideological work demanded by the times and its indispensability.

While attending the opening ceremony of the workshop and receiving the report on its daily course, I could feel the high degree of determination and passion of the participants who, with a unanimous awareness of the compelling mission of the times to transform the ideological work, have maintained self-consciousness and attitude to learn even one more thing.

Such attitude of yours has made me, General Secretary, quite pleased.

I could reaffirm that the information workers are surely higher in political awareness, more sensitive and more enthusiastic than the officials in other sectors.

I am convinced that as the ranks of information workers are so prepared ideologically and so exalted spiritually, I can expect more vigorous efforts and substantial changes in the strengthening of the ideological front, the ideological work, from now on.

You must not have learned all the contents of the practical information work in the few days of the workshop, and you will have to promote development while continuing to learn during your practical work. But I think this workshop must have been an important occasion for renewing your sacred revolutionary consciousness and sense of heavy responsibility that we should increase our ideological resources and consolidate the guarantee of succession to our cause.

This is important, I think.

What matters is how we apply this into practice from now on.

More important and valuable than countless oral determinations are propagation of truth that, even though once, raises and develops the consciousness of the masses and the high-pitched motivation work that inspires them with enthusiasm and courage.

Today, before the closing of the workshop, I would like to stress some more points for the information workers, the core frontline workers of our Party.

Comrades,

We need to be always aware of what we should be like as communists.

That is the Juche-oriented theory of ideology that should never change even though everything else in the world may change, and we are thoroughgoing advocates of the ideology-first principle.

Anything else cannot display the strength of the revolutionary ideology as much, nor can it overwhelm the strength.

We are now absolutely confident in our future because we have ideological assets that we have accumulated in the long course of the revolutionary struggle and that will display their inexhaustible might in the future, too.

The biggest asset of our Party is the great revolutionary ideology as well as the powerful forces for the information and motivation work that can turn the ideology into strength for transformation, and the ever-victorious leadership ability of our Party is just based on the strength of its peculiar information and motivation work.

We should prove this in the proud history of perfectly implementing what we aspire to and what we are going to achieve.

As we all experience, the struggle tasks we are faced with are not a representation of the goals we set in the past decades, but their striking development as well as another transformation in the dynamic course of our revolution.

As long as we have shaped the course and assumed the heavy tasks for ourselves, we must carry them out by our own efforts.

What are essential and urgent in the new struggle course are not any material foundations but the patriotic enthusiasm and extraordinary courage of all officials, Party members and other citizens and the strength of ideological motivation capable of amplifying the enthusiasm and courage for pioneering and creation.

Now is the time for all the people, ranging from leading officials to the citizens living in tips of this country, to stake their destiny and future on the development of the state, orient their wisdom and enthusiasm to the goals of a new stage, and overcome all challenges and obstacles with their indomitable fighting spirit and proactive creative initiative.

Being overpowered by objective factors and adapting to them is something that is alien to us, Korean revolutionaries. We should consistently maintain our unique principle of shaping our future and winning opportunities on the strength of the ideology-first principle whereby we synthesize all the people's great spiritual potentials and patriotic exertion in a concentrated way and bring them into full play.

We should harden our revolutionary stand to realize our ideals without fail by holding higher the banner of ideological oneness, which others cannot hold up even if they want to, namely, the philosophy based on the ideological theory that only our Party can advance in making the revolution with a great people.

Comrades,

After this workshop is over, the masses of Party members and other people will certainly focus their attention on our information workers' attitude and style of work, closely watching their future activities.

As a matter of fact, our people are now looking forward to new changes and innovations in the information and motivational work and cultural creation, which will inspire them in their struggle and enrich their life.

The tasks facing the Party's information sector are much heavier than they were in the past, and accordingly, the Party, the revolution and the times demand a great deal from its information workers.

The wider the area of our advance becomes and the faster we move forward, the greater challenges and difficulties we will inevitably face, Comrade Kim Jong Un said, stressing that responsible and sincere thinking and efforts are required to overcome one bottleneck after another.

He continued:

Our Party's information work should be improved remarkably and it should be more skilful, profound and effective than ever before.

This can be called a challenge for our information workers to overcome, or a big mountain for them to scale.

They should resolutely overcome this challenge with a renewed sense of their mission and through strenuous exertion, thus making sure that this workshop is recorded in our Party's history as a significant milestone in bringing about innovations and improvement in its overall ideological work.

We should, first of all, develop and enrich the contents of ideological education in keeping with the requirements and characteristics of the new era.

The might of ideological work is determined by its contents, and the development of its contents demands improvement of its forms, methods and means.

Sticking to the conventional contents and materials in disregard of the rapid and diversifying changes in the present era or repeating stereotyped logics and arguments cannot be called otherwise than an anachronistic error.

We keep setting ourselves greater ideals and goals in the economy, national defence, culture and all other realms of social life, which we translate into reality at a rapid pace, and our people are witnessing substantial changes in their living environment. Such being the case, the contents of our Party's ideological work should be composed and enriched in an innovative fashion.

By this I never mean that we should reject or reform the traditional contents of our ideological education, but that we should develop them in depth as required by the cause of the advancing revolution.

Therefore, achieving new innovations and a radical improvement in the information and education work should naturally begin with an in-depth development of the contents of the ideological education.

After referring to the importance of conducting the information and education work in a logical and realistic way, Comrade Kim Jong Un went on:

In ensuring that all the people cherish our truthful and advantageous ideology and policies as an element of their unshakeable faith, and in making our ideology and policies serve as a source of their great strength with which to brave difficulties and trials, no method is better than giving them a clear theoretical understanding of the justice of their cause and the inevitability of its victory.

If we adopt a schematic and cramming approach towards the information work, regardless of the principles of things and phenomena and the laws of life and cognition, the truth may be perverted or distorted, and this will finally evoke suspicion and denial.

It is beyond dispute that the ideological education should be not only logical but also down-to-earth.

Truth has an absolute power that defies description by any flowery language.

Comrade Kim Jong Un said that if there were ten or one hundred prescriptions for educating people in the past era, there should be one thousand or ten thousand prescriptions in the present era, and went on:

To base oneself on the concrete living conditions and environment of the people and their psychology is just to base oneself on the reality.

You, information workers, should prepare a lecture plan while always delving into people's inner thoughts and feelings and putting yourselves in their place, and give them an explanation in a way that you can build rapport with them through it and it can result in a substantial change in their cognition.

The forms and means of our information and education work should also steadily be updated in keeping with the development of the times.

The originality and influence of the ideological education work also depend largely on its forms and means, as well as its contents and methods.

As the saying goes, clothing makes the man. Even if it is a good material for information and education, it can neither draw the interest and attention of the masses nor have influence on their thoughts and feelings without the help of new forms and means.

People reject even the right words, if the method is trite. This is human psychology.

Comrade Kim Jong Un said it is a lesson of history that an ideology can either be a source of inexhaustible strength for victory and success or be a terrible toxin for frustration and failure, according to how much a party and a state that are building socialism attach importance to ideological work and how they conduct it, and continued:

If we do not pay attention to ideological education and arming of people with a spirit and to making constant innovations in this regard, while praising ourselves over the modern buildings rising up and the appearance of the country undergoing changes, it will be as good as building a castle on sand by depleting the foremost resources of the state.

The advance of the times is the flow of people's struggle and life and, therefore, in order to apply the character of the times to the ideological work, we should make an in-depth study of the people of today and explore and apply new forms, means and methods to suit them.

The information sector should concentrate the thinking and study on achieving greater effectiveness by finding out and grasping the forms and means that can attract the people, even if the contents of ideological education are on the same theme, and make the creation of new things a habitual trait.

It should not confine itself to conducting information and education work, but constantly improve it by making a scientific and quantitative analysis of how much it is effective and which means, forms and methods are most effective.

And efforts should be directed to the use of modern IT and other technical means in the direction of increasing the promptness and effectiveness of the information and education work and completely stopping the spread of reactionary ideology and culture.

Comrades,

The demand for innovation of ideological work boils down to the demand for the increasing of the awareness and capabilities of the officials in the information sector of the Party.

In order for our ideological work to raise the revolutionary spirit and revolutionary fighting morale of the masses and lead the times, information workers should be the first to have an extraordinary sense of responsibility and devotion.

As the information and education work is the work with the psychology of the people in all walks of life, even a lecture or motivation for increased production requires much effort.

The character of information workers, who can find the worth of making the revolution in doing difficult work without regarding it as trouble, is formed and consolidated just by an unusual sense of responsibility.

The mind of officials in the information sector should always be dominated by a sense of responsibility that if they fall back, their units, regions and sectors will collapse, and filled with the thinking and search as to how to improve the information work.

It is the responsible attitude of Party information workers to be able to feel the psychology of the masses even through a single word by them or a look of their eyes and promptly respond to the negative ideological elements with a keen sense as sharp as the blade of a knife touching the flesh.

They, whose life and blood can be said to be ideology, should fulfil their duty not only at work but also in their daily life. If they, who transmit the Party's ideas and policies, say this in front of the masses and act in a different way behind the scenes, it will foster distrust among the masses and cause the consequence of destroying the ideological position by themselves.

Officials in the information sector should not compromise with negative practices that are detrimental to the Party's ideology and the socialist principles, even if they may be struck by lightning or threatened with a dagger on their neck. In particular, they should never be involved in abuse of power, bureaucracy and accumulation of wealth by illicit means.

To decisively improve their level and abilities is a pressing task which has a direct bearing on the substantial innovation of the ideological work.

Recently it has been continually stressed that officials throughout the Party should acquire good writing and oratorical abilities, and these abilities are all the more vital and essential for information workers.

Party information workers should be fully versed in the Party's ideas and policies, ever prepared to influence the masses with the Party's intentions at any place and at any time and to give proper guidance and assistance to the work of primary information workers, and they should make steady efforts to improve their qualifications.

They should be all-round officials who are qualified politically and ideologically, well-versed in economic affairs and modern science and technology, and rich in cultural attainments and emotions.

Today, every field and unit needs talented personnel more than ever before, but the information sector demands that every worker be a talented person.

The information sector should take revolutionary measures to decisively improve the level of political and theoretical qualifications and practical abilities of its workers, and I think that it is natural that the endeavour to this end should begin in the Information and Publicity Department of the Party Central Committee.

It is natural that the department should plan and vigorously lead the innovative, creative and offensive ideological campaign required by the present era.

By forcefully pushing ahead with an all-out ideological campaign, it must restore its original features and resilience as the department which specializes in leading the Party's ideological work as a whole and conducting information and motivation work.

It should work out a scrupulous plan for innovating the Party-wide ideological work, adopt scientific, realistic and novel tactical measures, and make it its daily routine to strictly review information and motivation work on the basis of its efficiency and take relevant measures.

A change in the level and work style of its officials will bring about an improvement in the professional qualifications and work style of the information workers of the entire Party.

Comrade Kim Jong Un stressed the need to make every element of the ideological work an ideological and spiritual sustenance indispensable to everyone in the new era of transformation and a driving force of their genuine life and struggle, calling on all the participants to make their work run through with the principles, tactics and methods they acquired in the workshop, steadily learn and consolidate them through practice and constantly explore new keys to innovating the ideological work, thereby further enriching the wealth of the ideological work of the Party.

He continued:

Comrades,

Party information workers in all sectors and at all levels,

Ideology is, as has always been, fuel to the Korean revolution and the foremost resource for our state building.

It is a source of the greatest honour and special glory to live and work as an information worker of the Workers' Party of Korea which regards ideology as the first and foremost weapon and leads the revolution on its strength.

I am convinced that all the participants in the workshop will, by bravely shouldering their responsibility assigned by the times and revolution, play the vanguard role in dynamically writing textbooks for the ideological revolution which will be remembered in the history of our Party and handed down to posterity along with our era of transformation.

On this opportunity, I feel reassured to see your responsible attitude, overflowing vigour and pronounced confidence.

Greater successes and epochal achievements will continuously be etched on our journey for bringing earlier the attainment of our great ideals, a beautiful future, by dint of the invincible might of ideology.

Believing that all the participants and officials will open up the road of advance in the new era holding high the great banner of ideology-first principle and with enthusiasm and courage as befit ideological guards of the Workers' Party of Korea, I declare the Third Workshop for Officials in the Information Sector close. -

DPRK Missile Administration Tests New, Important Combat Weapon System

Pyongyang, September 22 (KCNA) -- The Missile Administration of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea successfully tested a new-type weapon, which is of great significance in the rapid technological development of weapon systems, on September 20.

The test did not have any adverse impact on the security of neighboring countries.

It is an extension of the regular activities of the DPRK Missile Administration and its defence science research institutes aimed at implementing the national defence policy.

Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and President of the State Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, oversaw the test.

Saying that the test was undoubtedly a striking demonstration of ultra-modern defence technology and clear progress in the modernization of the armed forces, he stressed that it represents the irresistible might.

To acquire such a technology is of weighty significance in the state's readiness for war and the future development of the armed forces, he said, adding that the enemy will know better what such progress means without any explanation in the aspect of military technology. He affirmed that such reality would give the enemy an incurable headache and a very cruel and unavoidable blow.

Today's success is the priceless fruit brought by a special think tank of the sci-tech forces involved in development of the important weapon system for a specific purpose and their sincere efforts, he said, expressing thanks to the Missile Administration and its defence science institutes and working groups. -0-

BGSJI and KFA UK support the statement of comrade Kim Yo Jong titled " The prejudiced viewpoint and double standards of the IAEA are the main factor that incurred the collapse of the international nuclear non-proliferation system"

 BRITISH GROUP FOR THE STUDY OF THE JUCHE IDEA 

 email juche007@yahoo.co.uk

                                                         

20th of September 2026

 The British Group for the Study of the Juche Idea 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 department director of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea , which was titled   "The prejudiced viewpoint and double standards of the IAEA are the main factor that incurred the collapse of the international nuclear non-proliferation system"  that was issued on the 19th of September;

On the 17th of September , the so-called International Atomic Energy Agency at is 70th General Conference passed an anti-DPRK resolution which called into question the legitimate self-defensive nuclear activities of the DPRK. Comrade Kim Yo Jong denounces this as "Such meaningless and inefficient "resolution", which the IAEA is cooking up every year at the instigation of the U.S. and the West, is not something new for us and has no effect on the DPRK's position as a nuclear weapons state"

It seems strange that the IAEA is passing resolutions about the DPRK' s nuclear activities because the DPRK is no way bound to the IAEA or beholden to it because it left the IAEA 32 years ago . The DPRK also finally withdrew from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty 23 years ago . So it is nonsensical for the IAEA to make any comment on the DPRK's nuclear activities . The DPRK will not recognise any 'resolution ' cooked up by the IAEA 

Comrade Kim Yo Jong draws attention to the double standards of the IAEA which is only taking issue with the DPRK and not other states. For example the IAEA has never made an issue of the plan for an introduction of a nuclear submarine by south Korea . We could also add that the IAEA has never investigated Israel ! Thus the IAEA has been a reduced to  " a Western power organization"

The IAEA is also silent about Japan's accumulation of weapons grade nuclear materials and the mumblings of the ROK puppet about the acquisition of nuclear weapons.

In reality the IAEA has become "  the U.S. atomic energy organization, and it is no exaggeration to say that the international nuclear non-proliferation system has degenerated into the U.S.-led nuclear proliferation system" as comrade Kim Yo Jong states .

The IAEA is calling for the unilateral, one -sided disarmament of the DPRK but at the same time turning a blind eye to the nuclear proliferation of the US , Japan and ROK . It is basically trying to deny the DPRK's right to existence .

Comrade Kim Yo Jong firmly declares that "We will not in any case mortgage our sovereignty and security rights to the "tolerance" of the U.S. and the West"  . We applaud this . Bravo to People's Korea !

We strongly denounce the IAEA for acting as a puppet of the US in its dirty schemes to stifle Korean style socialism ! We support the statement of comrade Kim Yo Jong .

Press Statement of DPRK Foreign Ministry Spokesperson

Pyongyang, September 21 (KCNA) -- A spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea released the following press statement on Monday:

The foolish behavior of the U.S. and the West is again sparking off criticism and ridicule of the world as they have openly ignored the principles of international law with respect for sovereignty and non-interference as the core and sought to save the structure of sanctions and pressure on the DPRK from its total bankruptcy.

Recently, the U.S.-led "multilateral sanctions monitoring team (MSMT)" cooked up and announced a "report" pulling up the beneficial and routine economic cooperative relations between the DPRK and other countries and thus vividly revealed its true colors as a plot-breeding organization which distorts normal as abnormal and brands legal as illegal.

The MSMT is a ghost group lacking any legality in the justification and purpose of existence. Its illegal act committed under the signboard of implementing the UN "resolution" is just a violation of the UN Charter and international law and a mockery of the international community.

The U.S.-led isolated minority group has never been given the mission and authority to act on behalf of the UN, and "resolutions" against the DPRK cooked up by the UN Security Council wantonly violating the sovereignty and the rights to development of a sovereign state have never been recognized by the DPRK.

What the MSMT, made up of pseudo experts addicted to the compilation of sanctions, has done is nothing but to devise all sorts of conspiracy theories under the U.S. command, and there is no room for discussion about the reliability and objectivity of such documents they have produced.

The DPRK's relations of exchange and cooperation with other countries cannot be subject to interference or investigation of a third party in any case as they are the exercise of legitimate rights under bilateral and multilateral treaties and agreements.

The UN Charter stipulates as one of the main purposes of the UN to develop friendly relations among nations on the principle of equality and self-determination, and the declaration on the principles of international law on friendship and cooperation among nations under the UN Charter, adopted as Resolution 2625 of the UN General Assembly, specifies that any country or group of states has no right to interfere in the internal affairs and external affairs of other countries.

What should be questioned and rejected in the present international relations are bad behaviors of the U.S. and the West openly conducted worldwide, in contravention of the purpose and principle of the UN Charter which disallows the use of and threat by force against the political independence and territorial integrity of any country.

No matter how zealously the U.S. and the West resort to chop logic, it is unchangeable that the MSMT is no more than a political tool for ensuring their specific interests and pressurizing sovereign states.

No matter what new document of sanctions the hostile forces may cook up and no matter what semblance of "legality" they may give to their illegal conspiratorial organization, they cannot break the steadfast will of the DPRK to thoroughly defend its core interests and grow stronger nor check its constant development trend.

The DPRK, as in the present so in the future, too, will never tolerate the malicious attempt of the hostile forces to bind and obstruct the state development and normal and reciprocal cooperative relations of independent countries but will strongly counter it and thoroughly defend the dignity and development interests of the state. -0-
