The U.S.
On April 16 the UNSC issued a statement of its
president "condemning" the DPRK's satellite launch for peaceful
purposes.
The DPRK took steps to show the sincerity and
transparency of the satellite launch for peaceful purposes to the maximum from
A to Z as an exception and aroused sympathy of broad world public.
The U.S., finding it hard to conceal the truth,
after hatching all sorts of dastardly trick to prevent the peaceful nature of
the DPRK's satellite launch from being confirmed objectively and persistently
term it a long-range missile launch, imposed upon the UNSC its brigandish
demand that the DPRK should not be allowed to launch even a satellite for
peaceful purposes.
The UNSC has been abused under the pressure of
high-handed and arbitrary practices of the U.S.
UNSC resolutions 1718 and 1874 which the hostile
forces regard as the "ground" to take issue with the DPRK's satellite
launch are a product of their high-handed policy for antagonizing and
oppressing the DPRK and the height of illegality they faked up at random,
disregarding even universally accepted international law.
It is the brigandish essence of these resolutions
that those countries which refuse to meekly obey the U.S.
Such unreasonable double standards are possible at
the UNSC because such standards are in line with the interests of those
countries keen to monopolize such cutting-edge technology as satellite launch.
The present developments clearly show that the
principle of equality as regards sovereignty clarified in the UN Charter is a
mere high-sounding word and justice should be protected by one's own efforts.
The DPRK Foreign Ministry declares as follows in
connection with the grave infringement upon the right of the sovereign state to
launch satellites for peaceful purposes:
Firstly, we resolutely and totally reject the
unreasonable behavior of the UNSC to violate the DPRK's legitimate right to
launch satellites.
It is the unshakable principle of the army and
people of the DPRK not to tolerate even the slightest element to deride and
encroach upon the dignity of the nation and the sovereignty of the country.
Secondly, we will continue exercising the
independent right to use space recognized by the universally accepted
international laws which are above the UNSC resolutions.
We will expand and strengthen space development
institutions and continue launching a variety of working satellites needed for
economic development of the country including geostationary satellites under
the state plan for space development.
Nothing can stand in the way of the DPRK's space
development for peaceful purposes.
Thirdly, as the U.S.
We have repeatedly clarified from the outset that
we will sincerely implement the Feb. 29 agreement to the last and took
practical steps to implement it as the satellite launch for peaceful purposes
is an issue quite different from the agreement.
No sooner had the DPRK's plan for satellite launch
been announced than the U.S. U.S.
The U.S.
We have thus become able to take necessary
retaliatory measures, free from the agreement. The U.S.
Peace is very dear for us but the dignity of the
nation and the sovereignty of the country are dearer for us.
Kim Jong Un Calls for Holding Kim Jong Il in High Esteem as General
Secretary of WPK Forever
Pyongyang, April 19 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun
Thursday carried "Let Us Hold Great Comrade Kim Jong Il in High Esteem as
General Secretary of Our Party Forever and Successfully Accomplish the
Revolutionary Cause of Juche", a talk the dear respected Kim Jong Un had
with leading officials of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea
(WPK) on April 6.
In the talk Kim Jong Un said that the Fourth
Conference of the WPK is to be held amid great expectation and concern of the
people at home and abroad in the run-up to the significant Day of the Sun
marking the centenary of the birth of President Kim Il Sung.
Kim Jong Un called for making the Conference serve
as a turning point in providing an important landmark in upholding leader Kim
Jong Il as eternal leader of the WPK together with Kim Il Sung and successfully
realizing their ideas and cause.
He stressed
the need to hold Kim Jong Il in high esteem as general secretary of the WPK
forever.
Doing so is a principled requirement for holding
fast to his idea and line and victoriously advancing our revolutionary cause,
Kim Jong Un noted, adding:
This is by
no means a symbolic meaning. This means invariably having Kim Jong Il at the
post of general secretary of the WPK and carrying out the party building and
activities in line his idea and intention.
The idea and
line of Kim Jong Il serve as eternal guidelines of our party and revolution and
an ever-victorious banner whose validity and vitality have been proven in the
revolutionary practice. The victorious advance and completion of our
revolutionary cause is unthinkable without his idea and line.
Only when Kim Jong Il is held in high esteem as
general secretary of the WPK forever, will it be possible to dynamically
advance the revolution and construction and successfully accomplish the
revolutionary cause of Juche as in the past.
At the Party Conference we are going to declare
internally and externally that the WPK is the glorious party of Kim Il Sung and
Kim Jong Il, Kim Jong Un said, adding:
The WPK is the party of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il
as it holds them in high esteem as eternal leaders.
The guiding
idea of the WPK is the great Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism.
The Workers' Party of Korea is a glorious party
that has Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism as its guiding idea and struggles for their
realization.
To model the whole society on
Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism is the supreme programme of the WPK. This is a
revolutionary succession to the modeling of the whole society on Kimilsungism
and represents its development to a new higher stage.
We should wage a more dynamic struggle to model the
whole society on Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism just as we waged a strenuous
struggle under the wise guidance of Kim Jong Il, regarding the modeling of the
whole society on Kimilsungism as the party's supreme programme.
No matter
what difficult and huge revolutionary duty we may face, we are sure to triumph
as there are outstanding leaders, eternal sun of Juche, the invincible WPK, the
people intensely loyal to the party and the leader as well as the strong
revolutionary army of Mt. Paektu.
We should
hold Kim Jong Il in high esteem as the eternal leader of our party and people
and glorify his revolutionary career and undying revolutionary feats for all
ages.
Kim Jong Il
was a great leader, matchless patriot and kind-hearted leader of the people,
the leader who devoted his all to the prosperity of the country and the
happiness of its people with absolute loyalty to the President and warm love
for the country and its people.
His life was
the most brilliant life of a peerlessly great man who performed undying feats
for the party, the revolution, the country and the people true to the noble
intention of the President.
We should
carry out all work for holding Kim Jong Il in high esteem for all ages and
perpetuating the memory of the leader with pure conscience and moral
obligation.
To develop
the WPK into the eternal party of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il means holding
fast to Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism as the guiding idea of the WPK and conducting
the party building and activities just as was thought and intended by Kim Il
Sung and Kim Jong Il.
What is
important for strengthening the WPK as the eternal party of Kim Il Sung and Kim
Jong Il is to more thoroughly establish the party's monolithic leadership
system.
All the
party members, servicepersons of the People's Army and other people should
uphold the party's ideology and leadership with faith and conscience, rally as
firm as an iron wall around the Party Central Committee in thinking and purpose
and sense of moral obligation and share their destiny with the party in good or
grim days.
We should
strengthen the single-minded unity of the WPK and the revolutionary ranks in
every way and thoroughly defend it.
Single-minded unity is the most valuable
revolutionary legacy bequeathed to us by Kim Jong Il and mainstay of the Korean
revolution. The single-minded unity in which the leader, the party and the
masses are united on the basis of great idea, warm loving care and feelings is
the greatest treasure more valuable than hundreds of millions of tons of gold.
It is
essential to deeply respect the people, prioritize their interests and look
after their life as their real mothers would do.
Believing in
the people as in Heaven was the maxim of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il. True to
their noble intention all the work should be conducted with priority given to
the demands and interests of the people while boundlessly respecting them.
It is necessary to make the noble and beautiful
traits of helping and leading each other forward pervade the whole country and
thus make society a great harmonious family in which all its members are united
in single mind.
Kim Jong Un
said:
The heroic deeds performed by Pak Thae Son, former
miner of the Kumgol Mine, by laying down his valuable life for the collective
and comrades and by Ri Chang Son who was a farmer of the Ohyon Co-op Farm of
Yonan County are beautiful deeds which can be found only among the people in
our era who were raised by Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il. They set examples for
everybody to follow.
Songun
represents our independence, dignity and life. A country with weak military
might can not defend its sovereignty and right to existence but will become
plaything and fall victim to the imperialists in the long run. This is a hard
fact. So we should consistently hold fast to the work of bolstering the
military might.
The might of
Songun represents the might of the People's Army and what is essential in
strengthening the military might is to strengthen the People's Army.
The People's
Army should become standard-bearers and a shock brigade not only in defending
the country but in carrying out the party's plan for building a thriving nation
as the driving force of the revolution. It should also become pace-setters in
creating and disseminating Songun culture in the new century.
The traits
of attaching importance to military affairs should be established throughout
society and an all-people, nationwide defence system should be consolidated to
turn the whole country into an impregnable fortress.
We should bring about a decisive turn in improving
the standard of people's living and building an economic power.
We should put forward the people who have trusted
in and followed the party only as the happiest people in the world by making
the precious assets, which Kim Jong Il provided with much effort, pay off. This
was his ardent wish and is the firm determination and will of our party.
We should
wage an unflinching offensive in response to the flames of Hamnam and rapidly
develop vanguard economic sectors and basic industrial fields and thus lay a
firm foundation for the economic development and increase production in all
domains of the national economy.
Priority
should be given to power, coal and metal industries and railway transport. Only
then will it be possible to reenergize the national economy and stabilize and
improve the people's living standard.
We should
build a knowledge-based economic power in response to the flames of the
industrial revolution in the new century.
We should
struggle with a high aim and ideal as intended by Kim Jong Il who used to
instruct to look at the world with one's feet planted on one's own land, and
thus beat the world in all aspects. In the spirit of exploration and creation
displayed by workers in Ryonha who brought about drastic progress in CNC
machine tools production, a drive should be waged to push back the frontiers of
the latest science and technology to put the country's overall technological
equipment on the level of world standard and improve the economic structure to
meet the requirements of the era of the knowledge-based economy.
Efforts
should be given to land management to turn the country into a land of bliss.
Kim Jong Un
called for focusing all the issues arising in the economy on the Cabinet and
establishing strict discipline and order of solving them under the unified
command of the Cabinet.
Being the headquarters responsible for the
country's economy, the Cabinet should set a goal and work out strategy for
economic development on a scientific and realistic basis under a long-term plan
and push forward on its own initiative the work to control, guide and manage
overall economic affairs in a unified manner.
All fields
and units should solve all the problems related to the economic undertakings
under a full agreement with the Cabinet and thoroughly carry out the Cabinet's
decisions and instructions for carrying out the party's economic policy.
Steady
revolutionary turn should be effected in all the fields of the cultural
construction including education, public health, literature and arts and sports
and efforts should be made to glorify our country as a developed and highly
civilized socialist country.
State investment in the education should be
increased and modernization of the education be realized. The level of the
secondary general education should be drastically raised and university
education be strengthened to bring up talented world-level scientists and
technicians who would be responsible for the drive for building a thriving
socialist nation.
It is
necessary to give full play to the advantages of socialist healthcare system
and create and disseminate more masterpieces of the times. Sports should be
popularized to make the hot sports wind sweep across the country.
We should make the people create the noble and highly
civilized socialist culture as well as enjoy them, thereby injecting vitality
and enthusiasm into the whole society.
In order to
bring about a decisive turn in building a thriving socialist nation just as was
intended and desired by Kim Jong Il it is necessary to increase the function
and role of the party organizations before anything else and officials should
fulfill their responsibilities and roles as commanding members of the
revolution.
The officials should become true and able persons
like Kim Chaek who successfully carried out any tasks, upholding Kim Il Sung.
They should stand in the van of the ranks, become scouts blazing a trail and
play the role of a locomotive in leading the masses in the field.
Officials
exist for the people, not vice versa.
The officials should learn from Kim Il Sung and Kim
Jong Il's view on the people and share weal and woe with them while sharing
meal with them, and work harder and harder for them.
We should accomplish the historic cause of national
reunification true to the life-long intention and behests of Kim Il Sung and
Kim Jong Il.
We should conduct positive external activities and
contribute to the cause of global independence true to Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong
Il's strategy and plan for external activities.
Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il are always with us and
encourage us. We should bear this in mind and work with redoubled efforts and
successfully materialize their plan and desire and thus glorify the new century
of the Juche revolution as a century of victory and glory. -0-
Kim Jong Un Speaks at Military Parade
Pyongyang,
April 15 (KCNA) - The dear respected Kim Jong Un made a congratulatory speech
at the military parade celebrating the centenary of the birth of Generalissimo
Kim Il Sung.
In his
speech Kim Jong Un said that the military parade is a great festival of victors
which was provided according to the noble intention of leader Kim Jong Il and
on his direct initiative to glorify forever the feats Kim Il Sung performed in
the army building and demonstrate the might of the socialist power before the
world.
Kim Il
Sung, who directed primary efforts to strengthening the revolutionary armed
forces in the whole period of his protracted revolutionary activities, worked
such military miracle in the 20th century as defeating the most ferocious two
imperialisms in one generation, trained the Korean People's Army into a
match-for-a hundred revolutionary army, put all the people under arms and
turned the whole country into a fortress, providing a strong military guarantee
for the sovereignty of the country and the eternal prosperity of the nation, he
noted.
Kim
Jong Il, who regarded it as his lifelong mission to carry forward and
accomplish the Songun revolutionary cause of Juche pioneered by Kim Il Sung,
ushered in the greatest heyday of the development of the Korean revolutionary
armed forces with his extraordinary wisdom, outstanding commanding art and
matchless grit, he said, and went on:
The
Korean revolutionary armed forces have fully demonstrated the might of the powerful
revolutionary army distinct in its revolutionary nature and strong in its
militant spirit and might under the care of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il.
The
military and technical superiority is no longer a monopoly of the imperialists
and gone are the days when the enemies could threaten and blackmail against the
DPRK with A bombs.
The
far-reaching strategy and final victory of the Korean revolution lie in
advancing straight along the road of independence, the road of Songun and the
path of socialism indicated by Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il.
It is
the firm resolution of the Workers' Party of Korea to enable our people, the
best people in the world who have remained loyal to the party, overcoming all
difficulties, to live, without tightening their belts any longer, and fully
enjoy wealth and prosperity under socialism.
The
WPK and the DPRK government will join hands with anyone who truly wants the
reunification of the country and the peace and prosperity of the nation and
make responsible and patient efforts to accomplish the historic cause of
national reunification.
The
sun's flag of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il will fly forever before the ranks of
the Korean revolution demonstrating victory and glory only and will always
encourage us to win fresh victories, he concluded. -0-
