                        The ASSPUK, Juche Idea Study Group of England and UK Korean Friendship Association issued a joint statement in support of the proposals made by the National Defence Commission of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea on the 16th of January 2014. It reads as follows;
                                                                             Now the eyes of the world-peace loving people  are watching the Korean peninsula with unease and apprehension because of the ill-boding moves of the US imperialists and south Korean puppets to hold the "Foal Eagle " and "Key Resolve " military exercises from the end of February . These exercises are very dangerous indeed as last year they brought the situation to the brink of war.
                                               Now the National Defence Commission of the DPRK the highest organ of  state power in the DPRK has on behalf of the DPRK government, parties and organisations , made proposals to defuse tensions that have been created by the annoucement of the plan to stage Foal Eagle and Key Resolve.
               The NDC of the DPRK has proposed that there should be an immediate unconditional halt to all military activities aimed at the DPRK in collusion with outside forces , this would mean the cancellation of Foal Eagle and Key Resolve. It was also proposed that mutual slander should cease and all provocative actions should cease particularly in the West sea region which is a major flashpoint.
       These proposals of the DPRK NDC are a timely measure containing concrete proposals to prevent the recurrence of tension and put the Korean peninsula on the track of peace.  The proposals offer a genuine hope of avoiding a conflict on the Korean peninsula . They reflecting the peace-loving nature of the DPRK a socialist country which does not have a monopoly capitalist munitions industry which profits from war . The proposals are a manifestation of the will of the supreme leader of the DPRK dear respected Marshal KIM JONG UN to prevent way and peacefully reunify the country.
                        Our organisations, the ASSPUK, JISGE and UK KFA , fully support these just proposals . In order to prevent a recurrence of last years extreme tension the south Korean authorities must unconditionally accept these proposals and cancel the reckless and provocative "Key Resolve " and "Foal Eagle ".

NDC of DPRK Advances Crucial Proposals to S. Korean Authorities


    Pyongyang, January 17 (KCNA) -- It is the 14th year in the 21st century amid the deepening bitterness the Koreans suffer from the national division.
    As the times go by, the nation has suffered ever-bigger pain of territorial division and national partition which were imposed at the hands of outsiders.
    Out of the resolute determination to end this, the peerless patriot declared his iron will to bring earlier national reunification and peace and prosperity with his patriotic mind at a significant moment when the first day of this year dawned, warming up the 3 000-ri territory and the minds of all Koreans and the world people.
    But only the present authorities of south Korea have showed ill-boding movements from the outset of the new year, not doing away with the inveterate bad habit of escalating confrontation.
    They build up the public opinion to convince the people that the present stalemate in the north-south ties is due to the DPRK. They are saying this or that over the internal affairs of the other side and have become talkative about the non-existent "provocation" and "threat", not content with their dream for sort of "emergency", deliberately straining the situation.
    They are even calling for staging from the end of February aggressive Key Resolve and Foal Eagle joint military exercises which they have waged every year under the pretext of "annual and defensive exercises" by resorting to the decade-old trite method.
    Ssangryong landing operation which is envisaged to be included in the war exercises is said to be held in the biggest scale targeting an attack on Pyongyang.
    The danger of the issue lies in that such military movements are being stealthily undertaken in south Korea and its vicinity by new naval and air forces including huge tanks and armored vehicles and airplane formations of the U.S. imperialist aggression forces.
    Under the prevailing grave situation, the National Defence Commission (NDC) of the DPRK makes the following proposals to the south Korean authorities upon authorization of the government, political parties and organizations of the DPRK:
    We propose taking practical measures in hearty response to the warm call for creating an atmosphere for improving the north-south ties.
    It is the invariable stand of the army and people of the DPRK to mend the north-south ties and achieve national reconciliation and unity.
    So, we officially propose the south Korean authorities to take a practical measure of halting all acts of provoking and slandering the other side from January 30, a day before the Lunar New Year's Day.
    This year is a significant year marking the 10th anniversary of the "June 4 agreement" in which the north and the south agreed to stop all forms of slanders and psychological warfare in the spirit of the historic June 15 joint declaration and the October 4 declaration.
    If the south side respects this agreement it signed, there can never be any reason whatsoever for it not to accept our proposal.
    If those in power have true intent for improving the north-south ties, they should take good control of what is uttered by them and lead the media to create an atmosphere favorable for improving the north-south ties and thus make the strong wind of reconciliation and unity rage across the Korean peninsula.
    Now is the time to definitely end the evil cycle of slanders, calumnies and hostility that are harmful to all. South Korea should no longer block the voices of the fellow countrymen calling for harmony of the nation.
    We propose taking a practical step of halting all hostile military acts against the other side in response to the historic call for ensuring the security and peace of the nation.
    Even minor and accidental conflict can immediately lead to an all-out war on the peninsula. This is a stark reality today.
    Any war on this land will help big powers fish in troubled waters and bring unimaginable destruction to Koreans.
    So, we again propose immediately and unconditionally halting all military and hostile acts targeting the fellow countrymen in collusion with outsiders.
    For the present the south Korean authorities should take a crucial political decision of canceling Key Resolve and Foal Eagle joint military exercises which they plan to stage from the end of February under the pretext of "annual and defensive drills".
    If the "coordination" and "cooperation" with the U.S. are so precious and valuable, they had better hold the exercises in the secluded area or in the U.S. far away from the territorial land, sea and air of the Korean peninsula. This is the stand of the DPRK.
    Explicitly speaking, the DPRK will never take military acts detrimental to the nation's security and peace by introducing outsiders in the future, either, as in the past.
    We specially propose stopping all acts provoking the other side on the ground and in the sea and air including five islands in the West Sea, hotpots where both sides are in acute show-down, leveling their guns at each other.
    The DPRK side will show its practical action first for the realization of this proposal.
    We propose taking practical measures to be beneficial to each other to prevent a nuclear holocaust from being inflicted on this land.
    The denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula is a goal common to the nation. This is also the invariable will of the army and people of the DPRK.
    The possession of nuclear weapons and the pursuance of the line on simultaneously pushing forward economic construction and buildup of a nuclear force are a treasured sword common to the nation and the most just option for self-defence which aims at ending the nuclear threat and blackmail against all Koreans by the U.S. and envisages the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula and the rest of the world alike.
    Our nuclear force serves as a means for deterring the U.S. from posing a nuclear threat. It will never be a means for blackmailing the fellow countrymen and doing harm to them.
    We courteously propose the south side not to resort to reckless acts of bringing dangerous nuclear strike means of the U.S. to south Korea and to areas around it, taking this occasion as an opportunity.
    It is the stand of the DPRK to resolutely break with the double-dealing stand of tolerating nuclear weapons of outsiders which are harmful to the fellow countrymen while denying the nuclear weapons of fellow countrymen which protect the nation.
    These crucial proposals reflect the desire and wish of all the Koreans to reject outsiders and bring earlier the independent reunification, peace and prosperity of the nation from the standpoint of By Our Nation Itself.
    If these proposals are put into practice, it will be possible to settle all issues, big or small, arising in the north-south relations including the reunion of separated families and their relatives.
    It is the unanimous wish of the army and people of the DPRK to open up the wide avenue for improving the north-south relations by concerted efforts of the Koreans.
    We express the expectation that the south Korean authorities will positively respond to our principled crucial proposals. -0-

Towering Spirit of Struggle

Towering Spirit of Struggle
The all-people committee to commemorate the lapse of five years since Ryongsan incident made up of 146 civic and social organizations of south Korea held a press conference in Ryongsan District, Seoul on January 13 and pledged to wage an all-people anti-"government" struggle.
Speakers at the press conference accused the authorities of mobilizing police and ruthlessly killing evacuees who demanded the right to existence in Ryongsan on January 20, 2009.
The present "government", however, has added to the pain of wounds of the bereaved families, the speakers said, adding:
The Park Geun Hye regime has paid lip-service to the great unity of people but behind the scene it appointed Kim Sok Gi, then chief of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, who directly masterminded the killings of evacuees as president of an air service company.
The "government" let the prime mover of the tragic incident hold the post of power, far from punishing him even though the wrong development and excessive repression deprived innocent people of their lives in a minute. This amounts to the declaration of its intent to carry forward what was advocated by the Lee Myung Bak regime, the worst regime in history of the nation's division.
We can not hold only a memorial service under the harsh suppression, the speakers said, vowing to fight it out against the "government" until the truth about the incident is probed and the mastermind of the killings is punished.
They said they would hold press conference, information service, candlelight meeting and memorial service as part of the anti-"government" struggle in Seoul and in areas of Kyonggi Province till January 20.

                    London 16th of January
          The Association for the Study of Songun Politics UK, the Juche Idea Study Group of England and UK Korean Friendship Association issued the following joint statement regarding the recent annoucement by the south Korean puppets concerning the holding of Foal Eagle and Key Resolve;
                                          Despite the peace overture made to south Korea in the New Year Address of the supreme leader of the DPRK dear respected Marshal KIM JONG UN the south Korean puppets and their US imperialist overlords have decided to push on with the holding of Foal Eagle and Key Resolve from the end of February. These exercises will be massive in scale . They are about invading the DPRK and effecting "regime change " by force as they envisage taking control of nuclear facilities in the DPRK and occupy Pyongyang in case of "emergency in  the  north". This leaves the observer  in little doubt as to the true nature of the exercises ; the a practise operation to invade the DPRK and stifle Juche-based socialism centred upon the popular masses.
                                 It is a lame excuse and a sophistry to claim that the exercises are defensive as they include landing craft which are a means to wage offensive and invasive warfare. It is a nonsensical sophistry to assert that as they are "routine " so do pose a threat. The analogy can be used of a fire drill in an office building or factory , these are not held for the sake of "routine" but as a practice for the real thing . It is the same with "Foal Eagle " and "Key Resolve ".
                                                                     Last year the extreme warmongering  moves of the US imperialists and the south Korean puppets brought the situation on the Korean peninsula very close to actual war which could have turned into a nuclear catastrophe which would not have been confined to the Korean peninsula or East Asia.
                       Our organisations, the ASSPUK, JISGE and UK KFA , demand that the US imperialists and south Korean puppets do the right thing and cancel Foal Eagle and Key Resolve at once !
Hands off the DPRK !
No to Foal Eagle and Key Resolve
US Out of Korea !

KCNA Commentary Hits U.S.-S. Korea Joint Military Exercises

  Pyongyang, January 16 (KCNA) -- The bellicose forces of the United States and south Korea are bringing dark clouds of a war again to the Korean Peninsula at the beginning of the year, in disregard of the desire of the DPRK and the international community for peace and stability.
    With the U.S. deploying its aggression forces massively in areas close to the Military Demarcation Line, they announced that huge Key Resolve and Foal Eagle joint military exercises would be staged for months from the end of February.
    The projected exercises, involving the U.S. 3rd marine task force to deploy before all others on the Korean Peninsula in case of emergency, will be the biggest military rehearsal in scale after the 1989 Team Spirit.
    Its purpose is apparently to take control of nuclear facilities in the DPRK and occupy Pyongyang in case of "emergency in the north".
    This is another serious military provocation to the DPRK and an outright challenge to its good faith and the public opinion at home and abroad as it is aimed to drive the situation of the Korean Peninsula again to phase of confrontation.
    No matter how vociferously the U.S. may talk about other's "threat" and about its role in "defending peace", it can no longer cover up its nature of the very one who has continued aggravating the situation on the peninsula cyclically.
    Ensuring peace on the Korean Peninsula is an important link in the chain for securing regional peace and stability and, furthermore, global peace.
    That is why the DPRK's principled stand and sincere measures clarified in the New Year to ease tension, defend peace on the peninsula and improve the north-south relations have commanded full support and aroused a great response from peoples at home and abroad.
    The U.S. and south Korean bellicose forces have made provocative remarks from the beginning of the year only to come under criticism of the world community. They are describing the projected military exercises as "annual" and "defensive", but it is no more than sophism to cover up the aggressive nature of the exercises and their insidious intention.
    It is a bad habit of the U.S. imperialists and the south Korean puppet forces to annually stage large-scale war drills all the year round, extremely aggravating the situation.
    Such war moves of several decades have only engendered antagonism and hostility among the Korean nation, resulting in bedeviled north-south relations, escalated tension and increased war danger in the Korean Peninsula and the region.
    The recent announcement of joint war exercises is tantamount to the total denial of improved relations and dialogue between the north and the south of Korea and a declaration of overall nuclear showdown.
    The provokers had better ponder over the serious consequences to be entailed by the exercises. -0-
