    He had a photo taken with them, expressing expectation and conviction that they would achieve greater successes in their scientific researches to further bolster up the nuclear deterrent for self-defence by waging a dynamic drive for breaking through cutting-edge science and technology with the same vim and vigor with which they succeeded in the nuclear test.

Chief of KPA Panmunjom Mission Sends Telephone Message to U.S. Forces Commander in S. Korea
    Pyongyang, February 23 (KCNA) -- The U.S. imperialists are escalating dangerous military pressure on the DPRK, having confabs for slapping brigandish new "sanctions" against it over its satellite launch, its legitimate and independent right, and underground nuclear test for self-defence to protect it.
    They are mulling kicking off Key Resolve and Foal Eagle joint military exercises targeted against the DPRK again on March 1 in a bid to bring dark clouds of a war of aggression to hang over Korea despite the strong protest and denunciation at home and abroad. They are employing such sleight of hand as "notifying" the DPRK side of this "in advance".
    A touch-and-go situation is prevailing on the Korean Peninsula due to the hostile acts and military racket of the U.S. imperialist aggressor forces and their followers against the DPRK.
    Pak Rim Su, chief of the Panmunjom Mission of the Korean People's Army, sent the following message to James D. Sherman, commander of the U.S. forces in south Korea, in this regard at 9 a.m. Saturday:
    As you know, a grave situation where a war may break out any moment prevails in Korea due to the brigandish moves of the U.S. and its allied forces to isolate and stifle the DPRK, taking issue with its just satellite launch and underground nuclear test for protecting its sovereignty.
    If your side ignites a war of aggression by staging the reckless joint military exercises Key Resolve and Foal Eagle again under the cover of "defensive and annual ones" at this dangerous time, from that moment your fate will be hung by a thread with every hour.
    You had better bear in mind that those igniting a war are destined to meet a miserable destruction while a great victory is in store for the guardians of justice. 

Il's Feats Performed to Defend Socialism
    Pyongyang, March 1 (KCNA) -- Leader Kim Jong Il made public the celebrated work "Abuses of Socialism Are Intolerable" on March 1, Juche 82 (1993).
    In the work, he clarified the principled matters arising in defending the cause of socialism and accomplishing it, such as the issue of regarding socialism as faith and putting it on a moral basis.
    In the late 20th century, the imperialists desperately attempted to stifle the Democratic People's Republic of Korea politically, militarily and economically, making much ado about the "collapse of socialism" worldwide.
    Under the situation, Kim Jong Il published a series of works, including "The Historical Lesson in Building Socialism and the General Line of Our Party" and "Socialism Is a Science", to give a clear exposition of the scientific accuracy and invincibility of socialism.
    Meanwhile, he paid big efforts to beefing up the national defence capabilities with the unique Songun (military-first) politics. He made ceaseless inspection tours of frontline and all other military units and posts, in disregard of his health and weather conditions.
    Thanks to his devoted efforts, the DPRK has now turned into an invincible military power with self-defensive nuclear deterrent and unbreakable single-minded unity of all the people. -0-



Nanhutou Meeting, Watershed in Anti-Japanese Armed Struggle
    Pyongyang, February 26 (KCNA) -- It has been 77 years after President Kim Il Sung convened the historic Nanhutou meeting in the period of the anti-Japanese armed struggle.
    At that time, the Japanese imperialists intensified harsh crackdown upon the Korean people as never before, in preparation for aggression on mainland China.
    Under the situation, Kim Il Sung hardened his decision to advance the Korean People's Revolutionary Army (KPRA) into the homeland to show the Korean people that Korea is alive.
    To this end, he called a meeting of KPRA military and political cadres in Nanhutou, China's Ningan County, on Feb. 27, Juche 25 (1936).
    At the meeting, he reviewed the military and political activities conducted by the KPRA in areas along the River Tuman in the first half of the 1930s and set forth new strategic policies on the basis of scientific analysis of the prevailing situation and the requirement of the developing revolution.
    The policies involved the issues of advancing the main KPRA forces into the border area adjacent to Korea as well as the area of Mt. Paektu for anti-Japanese armed struggle in the homeland, expanding the movement for anti-Japanese national united front on a nationwide scale and stepping up preparations for founding a party.
    The policies enjoyed full support at the meeting.
    The Nanhutou meeting was of historic significance as it represented Kim Il Sung's steadfast independent stand that the Korean revolutionaries were responsible for the Korean revolution and the Koreans should make the Korean revolution.
    Since then, the Korean revolution entered a new phase of its development in the homeland. -0-
