(2012):
Commanders of the combined unitsof the People's Army that are
reliablydefending the outposts of the countryon the eastern sector
of its front andother commanding personnel,
Today we celebrate the 52ndanniversary of the start of
Songun-based revolutionary leadership byGeneralissimo ·.
As I greet the day in the first year afterhis passing, I miss
the General all themore and feel my eyes wet with tears tolook back
on the great pains he took forthe country and people holding aloft
thebanner of Songun throughout his life.
Burning his heart with the will of lovefor the country and
people under thebanner of Songun, he provided invinci-ble military
capabilities and the strengthof single-hearted unity between
thearmy and people, which the wholeworld is envious of, and thus
raised the dignity of thecountry and people to the highest plane in
the historyof the nation. His achievements will shine forever.
Availing myself of this meaningful occasion and reflect-ing the
unanimous wish of all the service personnel and peo-ple, I extend
the noblest respect and eternal glory to the greatGeneralissimo ·,
who dedicated his all to theSongun-based leadership with love for
the country and peo-ple, burning his heart with passion and
affection all his life.
Comrades, Greeting this day on the front, when the enemy is
staging under our very eyes aggressive war exercisesreeking of
powder, I am now here with my comrades-in-arms in the eastern
sector of the front.
August 25, together with April 25, is a day that isetched in the
history of building up our revolutionaryarmed forces, as well as in
the history of our country.
Associated with this day is the strength of ourPeople's Army,
which takes pride in being a powerfulrevolutionary Paektusan army,
and the image of ourcountry, which has emerged as a world-class
military
giant and dignified nuclear state. It is the unshakeable
determination and will of our
Party to defend the security of the country and thegains of the
revolution and build on this land a reuni-fied and thriving
country, grasping more firmly thearms of Songun Generalissimo ·
providedwith much effort through his lifelong
Songun-basedrevolutionary leadership.
At this moment, the United States, together with itsvassal
forces as well as its puppet army of southKorea, is staging
large-scale aggressive war exercisestargeted on us, thus seriously
threatening our security.
While inspecting the army units at the outposts of
thesouthwestern sector of the front, I have already issuedto the
entire army the order to keep a sharp watch onthe enemy's reckless
moves and, should they throweven one spark on our holy territory or
territorialwaters, immediately deal an annihilating counterblowand
rise up as one to switch over to an all-round coun-terattack for
achieving the great cause of nationalreunification, reviewed the
corresponding operations
plan and written down my final signatureon it.
Right at this moment, the brave serv-ice personnel of the
People's Army havetaken up combat positions at my order tocope with
the reckless war manoeuvresby the United States and its southKorean
puppets, waiting for an order forfinal charge to fight a
life-and-deathfight against the enemy.
There is a limit to our tolerance. Counter provocations with an
imme-
diate counteroffensive, and an aggres-sive war with a war of
justice for thecountry's reunification!—this is ourprincipled stand
and unshakeable will.
We will never remain onlookers to theenemy's desperate moves for
aggres-sion; we will do all we can to defend thedestiny of the
country and nation.
It is a truth confirmed by history thatnobody in the world can
check theadvance of a people who have turned outfor their cause of
justice.
If another undesirable war breaks outon this land as a
consequence of theunpardonable actions of the UnitedStates and its
south Korean puppets,they will sustain an ignominious defeatin the
war and our great nation will greeta bright dawn of their
reunification.
Only victory and glory are in store forus who are advancing
under the unfurledflag bearing the immortal beaming
images of the great ‡ and ·. Today, availing myself of this
meaningful occasion, I
reaffirm my determination to invariably follow the roadof Songun
for our motherland and revolution, the roadtravelled by General ·,
arm in arm andshoulder to shoulder with you, my comrades.
Comrades, let us be confident of victory. A brilliant future
lies before our people. Let us hold the arms of revolution more
firmly to
defend the happiness and security of the people andthe dignity
of our great Paektusan nation.
To the final victory of the Juche revolutionarycause, the Songun
revolutionary cause, pioneered andled successfully by the great
Generalissimos‡ and ·,
To the good health of the commanders of combinedunits and other
commanding personnel present hereand all other soldiers of the
People's Army, and
To the victorious advance of the powerful revolu-tionary
Paektusan army,
I propose this toast.

(2012)
Kim Jong Un, First Secretary of the Workers'Party of Korea, sent
a message of congratulations tothe participants in the Youth Day
celebration con-ference and other young people across the countryon
August 27.
The editorial board of The Pyongyang Times car-ries the excerpts
from the message:
August 28 is Youth Day, the revolutionary holidayof the young
people of Korea.
From the remote front line, I extend warm congrat-ulations and
militant greetings to all the participantsin the Youth Day
Celebration Conference and otheryoung men and women across the
country, who aregreeting Youth Day in the first year of the new
centu-ry of the Juche era with a feeling of boundless jubila-tion
and excitement.
The current events held in celebration of YouthDay are a grand
political festival that demonstratesthe patriotic loyalty and stout
mettle of our youngpeople, who are adding lustre to the proud
history andtradition of the youth movement of Korea which haswon
victory after victory on the strength of the ideaof our Workers'
Party of Korea of giving prominenceto young people and are
advancing straight forwardtowards final victory under the Party's
leadership.
Our Youth Day is the eternal holiday of the Koreanyoung people,
which was instituted and exalted bythe great ‡ and ·.
In the history of our country spanning 5 000 years,there have
always been young people and some ofthem earned fame; but never has
there been an era ofworthwhile youth like today, when all young men
andwomen, cherishing the high honour of being youthvanguard of the
Party, perform feats for their countryand fellow people.
Today our motherland has started a historic marchfor final
victory in the building of a thriving country.
Our Party expects that all young people would givefuller play to
the valour, sense of unity and fightingpower of the Korean youth in
national defence andthe current campaign for building of a thriving
coun-try as befits the indomitable youth vanguard whogrew up in the
embrace of the great ‡ and·, by inheriting the heroic fighting
spiritof their revolutionary forerunners and seniors.
If hot-blooded young people march forward in elat-ed spirits
blowing bugles and beating drums, thewhole nation will become
ebullient, the hot wind ofleap forward will sweep across the
country and theprosperous morrow will be brought closer.
Our young people must defend their socialist coun-try unto death
by inheriting the heroic fighting spiritof the defenders of the
country in the 1950s.
The service personnel of the People's Army mustload the powerful
arms of the mighty revolutionaryPaektusan army with surging hatred
for the enemyand set the sights on the objects of strike; when
adecisive battle has to be fought, they must becomefierce tigers in
the sacred war for national reunifica-tion and perform proud
exploits.
If the enemy recklessly blows war clouds over us,young men and
women across the country must takearms in their hands in place of
hammers, sickles orpens, and turn out for an all-people war, as
thedefenders of the country in the 1950s did, to annihi-late the
aggressors at one stroke and staunchly defendtheir streets,
villages and schools.
Burning their hearts with the will to annihilate theenemy, our
brave young people should dynamicallymake breakthroughs for advance
at all the sites ofbuilding a thriving country.
"We will go through fire and water in response tothe Party's
call!"—this is the patriotic cry emanatingfrom the hearts of the
millions of young people.
By making fresh miracles and innovations in diffi-cult and
challenging sectors of the building of a thriv-ing country, young
people should become heroes whoexalt the brilliance of their
country and their era.
All young people, regarding their workplaces aspositions for
attack, should make the flames ofHamnam blaze higher and wage a
vigorous campaignfor increased production with the traits and
mettle ofthe Korean youth, who like making a revolution andwho love
working, so as to do a large share in fulfill-ing the national
economic plan.
It is our young people who ought to stand in thevanguard of the
effort to push back the frontiers ofscience and technology for the
industrial revolutionin the new century.
Young people should hold aloft the slogan "Let us
open up a shortcut to final victory by breakingthrough the
cutting edge!" and briskly wage a brainswarfare, a technological
warfare, with a global visionand self-respect due to a great
nation, so as to becomethe pioneers and champions of cutting-edge
scienceand technology and preeminent talented people.
They should become excellent young people of theSongun era who
love our own ways and things, arepossessed of beautiful and
ennobling moral qualities,and strive hard to do good things more
for the benefitof society and the collective.
The youth league organizations should build up allthe primary
organizations into units that are as steel-strong as the
organizations of the Young CommunistLeague which demonstrated their
might in the flamesof the anti-Japanese struggle, and push forward
alltheir undertakings in a novel and bold way as suitedto the
characteristics of young people.
Giving prominence to young people is the perma-nent strategic
line of our Party and revolution.
Our Party will brilliantly carry forward the out-standing policy
of giving prominence to young peo-ple pursued by the great ‡ and·
and, by relying on their strength, hastenthe final victory of the
historic cause of nationalreunification and the building of a
thriving country.
I extend warm congratulations once again to ourproud young
vanguard, who demonstrated theunshakeable conviction and will of
the successors tothe Juche cause and the Songun cause, running
withthe torches of the revolution from Mt. Paektu, thesacred
mountain of revolution, and Mt. Osong, themountain symbolic of
Songun, to Pyongyang wherethe great Generalissimos lie in state, as
well as otheryoung people across the country.
Fresh victory and glory are always in store for ouryoung people
who are advancing singing aloud“March of the Korean Youth”.
I am in firm belief that our reliable young men andwomen will
redouble their efforts for the final victo-ry of the great cause of
Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism, following the red flag of the Party,and
thus perform with credit their noble mission andduty before the
times and revolution, the motherlandand people.

It is the harvest season in theUnjong Tea Plantation
inKangnyong.
Farmers are busy picking tealeaves in the fields that sprawl
onthe mountain slopes.
Two or three fresh tea leaves thatcome out at every twig are
picked,but the yield is so good that a bas-ket is filled in an
instant.
"Kangnyong is a bit cold for thecultivation of tea, a tropical
or sub-tropical plant, but we did goodfarming, so we expect good
har-vest," said Ri Sang Ok, farm man-ager.
Tea is known to be grown in thelatitudes lower than 36
degrees.However, the agronomists in theSouth Hwanghae
ProvincialBranch of the Academy ofAgricultural Science have
madepainstaking efforts for over 20years and finally acclimatized
it tosuch places as Kangnyong in thelatitude of above 37
degrees.
Gathered tea leaves areprocessed into black and green teain the
processing factory.
Kangnyong tea, or Unjong tea,makes one feel refreshing,
preventsarteriosclerosis, hypertension andcardiomegaly and is good
forrelieving fatigue, promoting urina-tion, detoxication and
fighting can-cer and retarding aging as it con-tains alkaloids,
essential aminoacids and various vitamins includ-ing vitamins C and
E. In particular,it is winning increasing popularityamong the
locals and foreigners forits distinctive taste, fragrance
andcolour. Recently, the Chineseembassy staff visited the farm
andwished the tea growers good luckand prosperity. Itar-TASS
ofRussia has also introduced Unjongtea recently.
The farmers regard it as the prideof their locality, attributing
its orig-inal taste and aroma to the cleanand fresh environment and
soil.
The farm harvests tea leavesthree times a year, from late May
toearly June and in late July and lateAugust.

Will to destroy enemyruns high
"Counter provocations with animmediate counter offensive, andan
aggressive war with a war ofjustice for the country’s
reunifi-cation!" said supreme leader Kim Jong Un in his speech at
thebanquet given on August 25 forcelebrating the 52nd anniversary
ofthe start of Songun revolutionaryleadership by Chairman·.
His words greatly excited serv-ice personnel and people in
thecountry.
His statement fully representshis faith and will to achieve
thecountry's reunification, the utmostdesire of the Korean
nation.
To respond to a war of aggressionwith a great war for national
reunifi-cation is the requirement of historyand the times and a
righteous deci-sion to remove the root cause of warthat poses
menace to peace.
Not peace, but ceasefire has beenpersisting on the Korean
peninsula.
Behind the scene of the ceasefirethe US has adopted military
inva-
sion as the main point of its policytowards the DPRK and
perpetratedacts of military provocation inces-santly.
It brought the situation on thepeninsula to the brink of war by
dis-patching armed spy ship Puebloand large reconnaissance plane
EC-121 into the country in the 1960sand engineering shocking
incidentsof provocation at Panmunjom in the1970s and 1980s.
In the 1990s it conducted theinternational pressure
campaignsunder the pretext of nuclear issueand in the 2000s it has
set theDPRK as a target of preemptivenuclear strike and staged
nuclearwar exercises annually in andaround south Korea.
It instigated the south Koreanpuppets to trigger an armed
clashin the West Sea and theYonphyong Island artillery firingand
orchestrated such anti-DPRKplot as Cheonan warship sinking.
It egged them on to slander thesupreme dignity of the DPRK.
Not
content with this, it did not hesitateto take an active part in
the recent-ly disclosed grave terror scheme todestroy the statues
of the greatleaders.
The vicious acts of the US andsouth Korean puppets have made
theservice personnel and people in theDPRK harden their resolve to
sweepaway the provocateurs mercilessly.
Peace can neither be achieved nordefended without eradicating
theroot cause of aggression and war.
The Korean People's Army isnow fully ready and young peopleand
students are volunteering tojoin or rejoin the army with the willto
annihilate the enemy.
Factories, farms, universities andcolleges across the country
are filledwith a determination to carry out theorder of the Supreme
Commanderat the risk of their lives.
The soldiers and people willbecome human bullets and bombsin a
great campaign for nationalreunification.

2. Advent of blood-stained Yushin
The whole of south Korea wasplaced under martial law onOctober
17 1972, nearly ten yearsafter Park Chung Hee seized presi-dency by
dint of military powerand tricks in the wake of the May16 coup.
That day he mobilized tanks andother armoured vehicles to
dissolvethe parliamentand banned allpolitical activi-ties and
pro-claimed theYushin consti-tution.
Under theconstitution hegrabbed thepresidency of south Korea and
chair-manship of the State Council, theNational Security Council
and theNational Conference for Unification,thereby he was empowered
to con-trol all power machines, revise theconstitution, hold
plebiscite, invokeemergency measures, declare martiallaw and
disband the parliament. Hegot the National Conference
forUnification to elect him presidentand establish a lifelong
presidentialsystem.
Park became a fuhrer, anabsolute monarch, under theYushin
constitution.
Under the Yushin dictatorshipsouth Korea was reduced to a
bar-ren land devoid of democracy.
The dictator saw to it that spyring cases were fabricated one
afteranother to strike the whole of soci-ety with terror, killing
democraticfigures and patriots.
The abduction of Kim Dae Jung,in which his men abducted
theopposition leader in Tokyo andattempted to bury him in the
sea,threw the world into consternation.
South Korean people weredeprived of freedom of speech,press,
assembly and demonstration,elementary democratic liberty andrights
and even the right to exis-tence.
South Korea turned into a theatreof rowdyism of 700 000
troops,over 15 000 agents of the CentralIntelligence Agency, some
400 000political secret agents, about 50000 policemen, more than
320 000police agents and the 3 million-strong Homeland Reserve
Forces.
It was in that period that the sys-tem of watching each
other
between neighbours, betweenspouses and between father andson was
devised.
The south Koreans lived in con-stant fear due to frequently
issuedmartial law and guard order, oft-taken emergency measures,
forcedclosure of schools for political rea-son, the running of
counter-espi-onage month and crime preventionweek and the campaigns
to searchdisturbing elements and eliminateinsurgents against
Yushin.
In two yearsfrom 1974 to1975 notoriousemergency meas-ures were
takenon nine occasionsby which lots ofinnocent peoplewere tried
bycourt martial and
executed.In those days many people were
subjected to water and fire tortureand electric shock torture in
thecells of the Central IntelligenceAgency.
During the dictator's 18-year rulea total of some 14 million
peoplewere arrested, imprisoned andkilled, or 700 000 to 800 000
eachyear. The figures tell what southKorea under Yushin
dictatorshipwas like.
This is the truth about ParkChung Hee's fascist
dictatorship.
By Kim Kil Nam PT
Malignant remarksslammed
South Korean puppets uttered aspate of vituperation, upset
bySupreme Commander of the KoreanPeople's Army Kim Jong
Un'sinspection of islet-defending units inthe frontline area. As to
this aspokesman for the Committee forthe Peaceful Reunification of
Koreaanswered KCNA on August 23. Hesaid:
Looking at the enemy position notfar away, Marshal Kim Jong
Unordered that if the enemy dares startfiring, the service members
shouldnot restrict it to a local war but leadit to a great campaign
for nationalreunification. This is a victoriousdeclaration that has
demonstratedthe spirit, courage and bravery of thebrilliant
commander and a greatthunderbolt that has dealt a tellingblow to
the sworn enemy.
His inspection was a height of hislove for the service personnel
andpeople who are linked to him by thesame intention and feelings
and foryounger generation and a grand man-ifestation of the
harmonious whole inwhich the army and people are
unitedsingle-mindedly around him.
The US imperialists and thesouth Korean warmongers
andconservatives, seized with extremefear after pushing the
situation onthe Korean peninsula to the brinkof all-out war with
their joint mili-tary exercises for aggression,talked about
"provocation", "creat-ing the tension" and "propaganda
and agitation".This is a reckless act of those
who are taken aback by the sky-high spirit of the brilliant
commander of Mt. Paektu and thefirm determination of the army
andpeople to annihilate the enemy anda last-ditch effort of those
sufferingfrom a persecution complex.
The puppets have kicked offlarge-scale war exercises against
theDPRK in league with the US anddared talk about "provocation"
and"remarks for rallying ranks" and "fordemonstration". It is an
unpardon-able mockery of the whole Koreannation and public opinion
at homeand abroad and base utterancesrevealing their ignorance.
The puppets let out a stream ofmalignant invective which can
con-vince no one. This is aimed to playdown even a bit great
reactions andshock sparked by the field inspec-tion, control
internal confusion, jus-tify their reckless moves for
con-frontation and war and avoid beingisolated within and
without.
The malignant remarks onlyharden the will of the DPRK armyand
people to wipe out the con-frontation seekers.
As was declared solemnly inter-nally and externally, the
DPRKwill neither tolerate the recklesswar exercises and
provocations ofthe US imperialists and the southKorean puppets nor
miss the price-less opportunity.
Truth disclosedafter 37 years
It has recently been revealed thatJang Jun Ha, who died
enigmati-cally in the period of Yushin mili-tary dictatorship, was
murdered.
Jang was a renowned dissidentwho fought against the SyngmanRhee
regime and Park Chung Hee'sYushin dictatorship through pro-gressive
literary activity in southKorea. He opposed the Yushin dic-tator
point-blank in demand ofdemocracy and reunification.
He, however, met withuntimely death in August 1975.
At the time the Yushin regimeannounced that Jang fell over
aprecipice to death in the midst ofmountaineering, but
nobodybelieved it as there were so manymoot points.
In those years the Yushin dicta-tor put in motion the then
CentralIntelligence Agency and all otherrepressive forces to
execute any-one who demanded democracyand national reunification
oncharges of being "pro-communistelement" or kill them in
secrecy.
Park Chung Hee killed lots ofdemocratic figures and patriots
bycooking up such cases as therebuilding of the RevolutionaryParty
for Reunification, theNational Democratic Youths andStudents League
and the spy ringon Ullung Island. His men kid-napped opposition
leader Kim DaeJung in broad daylight in Tokyoand tried to bury him
in the sea.
The family of Jang and therelated organizations in southKorea
have demanded a probeinto the truth of his mysterious
death on many occasions sincethen, but the death has remaineda
mystery due to the obstructivetricks of the remnants of theYushin
regime and the conserva-tive clan patronizing them.
However, in the course ofremoving his remains to the newly-built
Jang Jun Ha Park in Augustthis year a hole and signs of
rupturecaused by hammering were discov-ered on the skull and a
judgmentconfirmed that he was murdered.
At present, opposition partiesincluding the Democratic
UnitedParty and people are strongly con-demning the outrages
committedby the Yushin dictatorship anddemanding that Park Kun Hye,
thedaughter of the Yushin dictator,renounce the presidential
candida-cy, and Jang's relatives are cryingout for the settlement
of the issue.
Nonplussed, the conservativerulers are busy finding
excuses,claiming that the case of Jang Jun Hahas already been
settled and a furthersurvey will make no difference.
The murder of Jang Jun Hawhich has been disclosed after37 years
is another living witnessto the cruelty and outrageousnessof the
Yushin dictatorship andthe truth of it should be probedthoroughly
and those responsiblefor it punished heavily.
The south Korean people shouldnever tolerate the attempt of the
con-servative forces, which are crackingdown on the movement for
democ-racy and national reunification, torevive the Yushin
dictatorship.

Exploits will go down in DPRK-Russia annals
Most recently, a report onradioactive warfare worked out bythe
Federal Bureau of Investigationof the US on April 20 1951 hasbeen
discovered.
The report revealed an attemptthe US made to spray a huge
quan-tity of radioactive materials includ-ing plutonium and nuclear
waste inthe area bisecting the Koreanpeninsula and create a
no-man's-land which is inaccessible by any-one when the Korean war
(June 251950-July 27 1953) it started wasin a stalemate due to its
repeateddefeat in battles, a bid to divide theKorean peninsula
permanently.
According to the report, the US,in the wake of mapping out
thescheme, got the Atomic EnergyCommittee to examine and confirmits
feasibility and made field testson the radioactive warfare in
thenuclear test ground in Utah on 65occasions till 1952.
The recent disclo-sure of the horriblescenario clearlyreveals
once againthe true colours ofthe US as a brutaland unethical
crimi-nal that does nothesitate to extermi-nate a nation andreduce
its land to apermanent waste-land for the purposeof realizing its
wildambition for aggres-sion.
The US was thefirst to makenuclear weapons on
the earth and is the sole nuclearcriminal state that inflicted
nucleardisasters on humankind includingthose on Hiroshima and
Nagasakiin Japan and Bikini.
During the Korean war itattempted to use atomic bombs
toannihilate the Korean nation anddue to the US A-bomb blackmail
atthe time lots of Korean familieswere separated and are still
suffer-ing from the separation.
The US is still posing a nuclearthreat to the DPRK, openly
reveal-ing its intention to launch a pre-emptive nuclear strike on
the latterwith a large quantity of nukes itdeployed in south
Korea.
This is evidenced by its inces-sant military provocation and
vari-ous DPRK-targeted war rehearsalsit conducts jointly with the
southKorean puppets by hauling hugeforces of aggression
including
means of nuclear attack as if theywere annual events.
This notwithstanding, it is talk-ing about a "nuclear threat"
fromthe DPRK boisterously, whileclamouring for peace, security
anddenuclearization on the interna-tional arena.
The report called for keepingopen to discussion the
possibilityof the use of nuclear materials, noteliminating it
completely, in thefuture, too. This indicates that theUS remains
unchanged in its inten-tion to resort to nukes.
That is why nukes should becontrolled with nukes as was statedby
the spokesman for the Anti-Nuke Peace Committee of Koreaon August
24 and the DPRK's deci-sion to make a full-scale reexami-nation of
the nuclear issue isabsolutely right.

September 1 is Day of Non-Aligned Movement.
The NAM made its debut inSeptember 1961 with a purpose tooppose
domination and subordina-tion and defend independence tocope with
the aggressive bloc.Over the past five decades it hasstriven to
safeguard global peaceand security, achieve national inde-pendence
and build a peaceful, newworld under the banner of inde-pendence
against imperialism.
The meeting of foreign ministersof non-aligned countries held
inBali, Indonesia last year reviewedthe achievements made by
themovement over the past fifty years,adopted a commemorative
declara-tion and approved the accession ofAzerbaijan and Fiji to
the NAM.
The NAM member states, whichamounted to 25 in its
incipiency,have reached 120, making it possi-ble to enhance its
position on theinternational arena.
Independence against imperial-ism is the banner of struggle
theNAM should continue to holdaloft.
The imperialists remainunchanged in their aggressive
andpredatory nature. They try to dom-inate the world and realize
theirpredatory ambition by pursuing thepolicy of strength. This has
con-strained social progress and inde-pendent development of
non-aligned and developing countries.
When they unite politically andwork together on the principle
ofindependence, non-aligned coun-tries can oppose and reject
theimperialists' aggression and inter-vention and defend
sovereignty.
The imperialist forces applysanctions and pressure to
thosecountries aspiring for independ-ence against imperialism and
eventry to invade them militarily, whilepatronizing those following
them-selves, on the pretext of such issuesas nuclear development
and humanrights. That is why non-aligned anddeveloping countries
should paydue attention to the injustice andnegative effect of the
application ofdouble standard in internationalrelations and reject
it collectively.
They can prevent economic sub-ordination and ideological and
cul-tural infiltration as well as politicaland military domination
by theimperialists when they promotesolidarity and cooperation on
theprinciple of independence, equali-ty, non-interference and
reciproci-ty, settle divergences of opinionand disputes in a
peaceful way andconfront with the imperialists'moves for aggression
and interven-tion by concerted efforts.
The banner of peace against warshould be held up higher.
World without war is the unani-mous desire of humankind.
There can never be genuinepeace as long as there are the
impe-rialists who feed on war of aggres-sion and domination. To
opposewar and defend peace it is neces-sary to resist the
imperialists' poli-cy of strength, strong-arm policy,collectively
under the banner ofindependence.
The DPRK government makesevery possible effort to defend
thebasic principles and ideal of theNAM and develop it
steadily.
