Kim Jong Un Inspects Artillery Company under KPA Unit 963
Pyongyang, December 2 (KCNA) -- Supreme Commander of the
Korean People's Army Kim Jong Un, first secretary of the Workers' Party of
Korea and first chairman of the National Defence Commission of the DPRK, Monday
inspected the Artillery Company under KPA Unit 963 which started the new year
combat and political drill.
He, to begin with, watched a specialized training of
soldiers at a lecture room.
Hearing in detail questions and answers between trainer and
soldiers and conversing with them, he taught ways of making the company the one
of crack shots by conducting the drill suited to the nature of its combat duty.
He set forth important tasks for successfully conducting the
New Year combat and political drill.
He underscored the need to fully prepare all service
personnel of the People's Army as stalwart fighters equipped with the
ever-victorious Kim Il Sung-Kim Jong Il strategy and tactics, brave offensive
methods and perfect real war capability and help them take on the appearance of
the powerful elite revolutionary army by thoroughly carrying out the four-point
strategic line and three major tasks for bolstering the military capability.
He said that all commanding officers and soldiers should
bear deep in mind the slogan of faith "Do not abandon the revolutionary
faith though one may die" and prepare themselves as vanguard fighters
strong in faith advancing with arms in the one direction only as indicated by
the party by sincerely taking part in all political lectures.
He gave an instruction to conduct various forms of intensive
combat drills including specialized training under the simulated conditions of
an actual war in order to help soldiers have perfect mastery of their weapons
and combat and technical equipment and train them as crack shots.
He also underlined the need to intensify heavy gymnastics
training among soldiers so that they may have strong physical bodies.
All commanding officers should always find themselves among
the soldiers of the company, take warm care of their living as their parents
would do and settle in time the problems arising in their drills and military
service so that they may devote themselves to drills only, he said.
He underlined the need to make the hearts of all the service
personnel burn with a single desire to perform proud distinguished military
merits in the drive for implementing the training order by conducting an
ideological offensive as required by the prevailing situation in order to bring
about collective innovations in combat and political drills.
He looked round the newly built barracks of the company.
In order to turn the company into a dear native home of its
soldiers, it is necessary to provide them with warm beds and hearty meal and,
at the same time, make warm feelings prevail in the company, he said, calling
for making sure that the company is pervaded with such traits of revolutionary
comradeship as officers and men helping and leading each other forward and
respecting and loving each other.
Praising the unit for having successfully built the barracks
of the artillery company directly under it with an innovative eye and by
introducing everything appreciated by the party as a good one into its
construction, he again expressed his satisfaction, noting the barracks is a
good icon to be proud of as it meets the requirements of the new century.
He acquainted himself with the military targets and combat
equipment of the artillery company that day.
He had a photo session with the service personnel of the
company after giving them a pair of binoculars and an automatic rifle as gifts.
He was accompanied by KPA Vice-Marshal Hwang Pyong So,
director of the General Political Bureau of the KPA, and Army Col. General Pak
Jong Chon, vice-chief of the KPA General Staff and director of its Fire-Command
Department.
KCNA Commentary Ridicules EU's Bat-blind Behavior
Pyongyang, December 2 (KCNA) -- Some countries of EU took
the lead in cooking up the anti-DPRK "human rights resolution" at the
UN, pursuant to Washington's scenario.
This is being ridiculed by the international community as a
bat-blind act of impairing the image of EU which claimed the establishment of a
pole in the world and enforcement of independent policy when it came into
being.
In today's international relations the issue of strictly
observing the principle of respect for others' sovereignty and the principle of
impartiality presents itself as a fundamental requirement for ensuring the
independent development of countries and global peace and security.
The present situation where sovereignty of various countries
is encroached upon and world peace and security are seriously threatened by the
high-handed and arbitrary practices of the imperialists strongly urges all
countries to remain true to the principle of impartiality in international
relations.
Nevertheless, some countries of EU joined in the U.S.-led
fabrication of "human rights resolution", an impudent
politically-motivated farce peppered with intrigues and fabrications aimed to
encroach on the sovereignty of the DPRK and topple its inviolable social
system.
As known, the UN history does not know such precedent as the
fabrication of the half-baked "report of the Commission of Inquiry"
on the human rights situation in the DPRK.
EU must have known that the "report" should at
least undergo verification for lots of its drawbacks.
It should be noted that the DPRK published the report of its
Association for Human Rights Studies, reflecting its human rights policy and
system for ensuring human rights and the human rights enjoyed by its people,
providing an opportunity for EU to verify the former's human rights
performance.
The DPRK, therefore, accepted the visit of the UN
"special rapporteur" on the human rights situation in the DPRK and
the special representative for human rights of EU to the DPRK and proposed on
its own initiative the resumption of dialogue with EU on the human rights
issue.
However, EU suggested having dialogue after the adoption of
the "resolution", raising various unreasonable excuses.
This leaves the international community skeptical about the
"independence" of EU.
Does EU have no self-esteem?
It is not a secret at present that a U.S. intelligence organ
has perpetrated systematic wiretapping espionage against VIPs including heads
of state of dozens of countries including Germany called the leader of EU,
France and Italy.
The intelligence organ even planted in secrecy an
eavesdropping device at the headquarters of EU in Brussels, a venue of EU
summits, regularly snooped on data in computers and telephone networks there
and traced out confidential information related to its stand toward
international issues and matters of contention among its member states and
studied measures for countering them.
As seen above, EU was stripped by the U.S., its ally, to its
skin, but maintained no principle in its approach to the human rights issue,
contrary to the common interests of the international community, only to
disgrace itself.
If EU countries are to keep impartiality in dealing with the
human rights issue, they should take issue with the crimes of the U.S., the
worst human rights tundra in the world, to begin with.
The DPRK never looks for anyone's "recognition"
and, moreover, feels no need to read others' face.
Anything meeting its people's demand and interests is
precisely its standard of human rights.
It is self-evident that a country can preserve the
international justice and the principle of impartiality and develop its
relations based on equality with other countries only when it deals with and
settle all the issues arising in the international relations with correct
criterion.
The U.S. has applied biased criteria in dealing with
international issues, according to its interests, attitude of relevant
countries toward it and their political systems.
Styling itself a "human rights judge", the U.S.
has been keen on interference in other countries' internal affairs, pulling
them up over their human rights situation.
The principle of equality and impartially should be
thoroughly abided by in the international relations and such acts as
interfering in others' internal affairs and forcing a country to accept one's
own demand should never be allowed.
If EU wants to be placed on higher stage as a world's
independent pole in the 21st century, it should not blindly follow others in
carrying out its foreign policy.
