Kim Jong Un Inspects Factory

Pyongyang, November 15 (KCNA) -- Kim Jong Un, first secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea, first chairman of the National Defence Commission of the DPRK and supreme commander of the Korean People's Army (KPA), inspected the February 20 Factory of the KPA which has turned into a model of foodstuff factories in the country.

In May last year when visiting the factory, he set forth the task for updating it as required by the new century and took benevolent measures for it.

Supreme Commander Kim Jong Un toured the production control room, sci-tech dissemination room, combined processing workshop and other places of the factory to learn in detail about its modernization.

He expressed great satisfaction over the fact that a work to put all production processes of the factory on an automated, unmanned, germ-free and dust-free basis was successfully carried out, true to the intention of the party.

What pleased him in particular is the perfect establishment of integrated control system over production and management activities such as production of goods, quality control and administration, he said, adding that the factory is the best in the country in terms of scale and intelligent and IT level.

The modernization of canned meat, bean paste and soy, butter and other production processes removed manual labor in all the processes from raw material feeding to packing, remarkably raising the productivity with less manpower. And it helped thoroughly ensure the hygienic safety of products and improve their color, flavor and quality, he noted.

The afforestation of the factory is admirable and its cultured ways in production and life has been established on a high level, he said, praising it as a model factory in the era of the WPK, a factory excellent both in interior and exterior.

Saying that the factory has turned into a model for accelerating the technical updating of the country's foodstuff industry, he urged other foodstuff factories to regard it as an icon and standard one in their technical improvement.

Stressing the importance to properly set the criterion of modernization, he said that the modernization expected by the party is not the one based on other countries' efforts and technology or import of their equipment but the one depending on domestic forces and technology.

Noting that the factory was remodeled to meet the requirements of the age of knowledge-based economy by effectively utilizing domestic sci-tech forces, he gave thanks in the name of the WPK Central Committee to the scientists and technicians of Kim Chaek University of Technology, Pyongyang University of Mechanical Engineering, Pyongyang Han Tok Su University of Light Industry, Hamhung University of Chemical Engineering and other relevant units for their positive contribution to updating the factory.

Then, he went round the modernly-built cultural hall for workers at the factory and enjoyed a performance given by its art group.

Noting that he was pleased to see the modernized factory but he was more pleased to feel the ideological and moral qualities of its workers thoroughly armed with the Juche idea, he said that he got strong courage and energy while reading their mind to share their destiny with the party and hardened his belief that he could cheerfully overcome any difficulties as there is the creditable working class.

He had a photo session with the employees of the factory as he promised during his May visit to do when it would be updated on the level expected by the party.

Accompanying him were Choe Ryong Hae, Hwang Pyong So, So Hong Chan, Han Kwang Sang and Ri Jae Il.

Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un Visits Central Tree Nursery

Pyongyang, November 11 (KCNA) -- Kim Jong Un, first secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea, first chairman of the DPRK National Defence Commission and supreme commander of the Korean People's Army, gave field guidance to the Central Tree Nursery and set forth vital tasks for turning the whole country into a thick woodland and greenery.

He went round a mosaic depicting leader Kim Jong Il, newly built in the compound of the Central Tree Nursery, and then a room dedicated to the history of the nursery, recollecting the day when he visited it in company with Kim Jong Il in October 2011.

Kim Jong Un noted that Kim Jong Il, who had paid deep attention to the afforestation of the country all his life, left such modern sapling production base as the nursery as a legacy, thus laying a solid foundation for turning the whole country into a thick woodland and greenery.

Then he toured sapling greenhouse, sapling field and other parts of the nursery to learn in detail about how it has implemented the behests of Kim Jong Il.

He expressed great satisfaction over the achievements made by the officials and employees of the Ministry of Land and Environment Protection and the Central Tree Nursery to strictly implement Kim Jong Il's on-site instructions.

He instructed the nursery to turn out more saplings by expanding its sapling production base, perfect the tree planting and rearing method suited to the features of the country and grow saplings not only for timber forest but also for gardening.

It is also needed to push ahead with the work to introduce the advanced science and technology such as acclimating good species of saplings from other countries, he said.

After touring the nursery, supreme leader Kim Jong Un set forth the highly important tasks for turning the whole country into a thick woodland and greenery.

He said that the forest resources of the country shrank in bulk during the Arduous March, the forced march and the state of forest denudation is very serious.

Stressing that there is no space now to step back, leaving bare mountains as they are, he ardently called on the entire party and army and all the people to turn out in a general mobilization for recovering them, deeming this campaign a war with nature as the whole country rose from the debris during the post-war reconstruction.

He said: Since afforestation assumes a protracted nature, we should constantly push ahead with the work to plant and protect trees under a far-sighted plan, bearing deep in mind the aphorism of leader Kim Jong Il that we should live not merely for today but for tomorrow.

He stressed the need to conduct throughout society such mass movement as a movement for wining the titles of socialist patriotic woods and model-forest county.

The work for planting and protecting trees, our noble duty and a supreme patriotic work for the future of the country and its eternal prosperity, should be conducted in a mass campaign, he said, again calling for displaying the army-people coordinated operation’s might to turn the whole country into a thick woodland.

He was accompanied by Choe Ryong Hae, Choe Thae Bok, O Su Yong, Han Kwang Sang and Ri Jae Il.

NPCK Spokesman Denounces Hoguk Drills in S. Korea

Pyongyang, November 13 (KCNA) -- The spokesman for the National Peace Committee of Korea (NPCK) Thursday made public a statement in denunciation of the largest-ever 2014 Hoguk drills kicked off by the south Korean puppet group on Monday.

The statement said that the Hoguk drills more bellicose than ever before are an intolerable mockery at all Koreans and the international community desirous of the improved inter-Korean relations and peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and an unpardonable grave provocation to the DPRK. It went on:

The DPRK has made every possible effort for national reconciliation and unity and improvement of the north-south relations despite the complicated situation.

Contrary to this, the south Korean puppet group fired bullets and shells at the DPRK's warship and service personnel on a routine patrol duty in the hotspot waters in the West Sea and the area along the Military Demarcation Line. It hurled human scum into ceaseless leaflet scattering operations hurting the dignity and social system of the DPRK, driving the north-south relations to an extreme phase of confrontation.

Meanwhile, the south Korean regime is going all the more frantic in its moves to unleash a war against the north as evidenced by the introduction of PAC 3 from the U.S. and the staging of a drill to counter the north's new type sub by use of a U.S. sub, talking about Kill Chain and the building of a missile shield.

The Hoguk kicked off by the south Korean warmongers under such situation is aimed at rounding off the preparations for a nuclear war against the north together with their American master and pushing the tensions to an extreme pitch to start a war at any cost.

It is also designed to justify the criminal indefinite extension of the transfer of the right to wartime operation control and south Korea's involvement in the U.S. building of its missile shield and boost the morale of the south Korean puppet army that sagged due to its worst military discipline and corruption in a bid to use it as a shock brigade in a war against the north and tide over its serious ruling crisis through a security row.

No matter how noisily the puppet chief executive is crying out for "the north's dismantlement of nukes" and talking about the "Northeast Asian peace and cooperation" in the international arena after reducing south Korea to a theater of war drills, no one would lend an ear to her. She will only become a laughing stock of the world.

Those who are fond of playing with fire are bound to perish in the flames kindled by themselves.

KPA Front Command Gives Warning to S. Korean Military

Pyongyang, November 15 (KCNA) -- The Front Command of the Korean People's Army (KPA) issued the following report on Saturday:

Recently the south Korean puppet military warmongers have gone extremely reckless in making provocations in the area of the Military Demarcation Line, timing to coincide with the Hoguk-14 war maneuvers kicked off in south Korea to invade the DPRK.

From mid-October they began warning broadcast with vulgar words while firing bullets toward our servicepersons on their routine patrol duty in our side's area north of the MDL. Even, they let armed rascals occupy positions and take firing posture to intentionally get on our servicepersons' nerves.

On November 14 alone, they made rough warning broadcast for scores of times toward our soldiers patrolling the north's area along the MDL in the western and central fronts.

Earlier, they did not hesitate to fire 12.7mm machineguns and 5.56mm automatic rifles in the eastern front.

The patrolling in the north's area of the MDL belongs to our legitimate right.

The south Korean puppet military warmongers should be mindful that such reckless military provocations in the area of MDL may invite unforeseeable retaliation strikes, which will immediately lead to a great war of justice for national reunification.

The KPA Front Command, upon authorization, gravely warns the south Korean puppet military warmongers to stop the reckless military provocations in the whole front at once.

If they continue the military provocation despite our warning, they will have to pay at the cost of their blood.

S. Korea Accused of Pushing Inter-Korean Relations to

Uncontrollable Phase of Catastrophe

Pyongyang, November 15 (KCNA) -- The north-south high-level contact has failed to take place though it had been high on the agenda amid great expectation and concern of all Koreans.

This being a stark reality, the south Korean authorities are obliged to buckle down to putting the situation under control, feeling heavy remorse for it, though belatedly.

Nevertheless, they are misleading the public opinion at home and abroad by creating the impression that the prevailing situation was created by the north's act of reneging on the bilateral agreement, bereft of elementary face.

They are behaving so ridiculously as to urge the north to retract "unreasonable preconditions" and "change its attitude."

What merits a more serious attention is the fact that they are pushing the overall inter-Korean relations to a more uncontrollable phase of catastrophe, getting more frantic in their anti-DPRK confrontation racket.

In this connection, the Policy Department of the National Defence Commission of the DPRK was authorized to clarify the truth about the prevailing situation and issue a statement reiterating its principled stand internally and externally on Saturday.

The north-south high-level contact was another patriotic step taken and whose preparations were made progress thanks to the noble intention of the sagacious supreme leadership of the DPRK to turn a lane for mending the inter-Korean relations into a wide avenue and make a new history of the relations, the statement noted, and continued:

It was thanks to this step taken into consideration of not only the present destiny of all Koreans but their future hope that the sports team of the DPRK took part in the Asian Games and a highest-level delegation of the DPRK visited Inchon on October 4, reaching a historic agreement.

In the consequent period, too, the DPRK made every sincere effort to rev up the hard-won precious atmosphere of mending the relations.

The south Korean authorities, however, opted for pushing the inter-Korean relations to a more deplorable phase.

On Oct. 25 they began scattering leaflets hurting the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK and insulting its inviolable social system in all areas along the Military Demarcation Line including the western and central sectors of the front.

They escalated the intrusion of their naval warships into the territorial waters of the DPRK under the pretext of defending the "northern limit line" in the waters of the West Sea of Korea.

From mid-October they began airing vulgar warning programs and recklessly firing bullets at servicepersons of the Korean People's Army on their routine patrol duty in the north's side area north of the Military Demarcation Line.

The south Korean authorities who vociferated about the mending of the inter-Korean relations and high-level contact started the large-scale Hoguk-14 drills on November 10, making a total war against the north an established fact.

The reality goes to prove that they are aborting the north-south high-level contact, denying any process to mend the relations and kicking up reckless political and military confrontation rackets.

This is the truth of the present bedeviled north-south relations for which the south Korean authorities are wholly to blame.

The Policy Department of the NDC of the DPRK once again clarified a series of its principled stand in reflection of the will of its army and people enraged by the truth about the south Korean authorities' reckless behavior.

Firstly, it is our stand that the south Korean authorities can never expect any improvement of the north-south relations and any dialogue and contact as long as they persist in their vicious anti-DPRK confrontation rackets.

The present chief executive of south Korea uttered there is a dialogue even in the battle field.

It is sheer sophism as she revealed her shameless intention to negotiate with the north while inciting distrust, hostility and confrontation.

Nothing is more foolish than knocking at the door of dialogue and calling for contact while escalating the nuclear blackmail against the north by frequently introducing nuclear strike means from the U.S. into south Korea by land, sea and air.

The DPRK has so far stressed more than once that war maneuvers cannot go with dialogue.

If the south Korean authorities truly want improved relations and dialogue, they should make a policy decision to halt the anti-DPRK leaflet scattering operations, to begin with.

If they do not pursue a sinister aim in their lip-service to improved relations and dialogue, they should not resort to all sorts of unjustifiable provocations on the ground and in the seas and the air.

It is the DPRK's assertion that if they are to opt for improved relations and dialogue, they should create a corresponding atmosphere and take an attitude as a dialogue partner.

Secondly, it is our stand that they should boldly discard all bad habits of having reneged on the inter-Korean agreements for several generations before talking about someone's "observation of the agreements".

The inter-Korean agreements are the gains common to the nation attained irrespective of ideology, social system, ideal and religious belief without exception and the historic tasks of the nation to be fulfilled without fail.

Accordingly, no one is entitled to breach all agreements of the north and the south, big and small, which they pledged to implement before the nation.

However, the south Korean authorities have bedeviled the inter-Korean relations by deliberately trampling down and scrapping the hard-won bilateral agreements.

At the north-south high-level contact made at the outset of the year the present south Korean chief executive let her confidants agree with the north to halt slandering each other. They were so crafty as to request it to "believe in the will of the president" and claim that "it would be clear if it followed the development."

The south Korean authorities had better learn the habit of honestly fulfilling the agreements reached before paying lip-service to "improved relations" and "confidence-building."

If they truly want improved relations and dialogue, they should make such bold decision as abandoning the bad habit of deliberately reneging on the hard-won national agreements. This is our stance.

Thirdly, the south Korean authorities including the present chief executive should behave in such a manner as to be helpful to the national reconciliation and unity if they truly want improved relations. This is our stand.

A wicked chief executive is bound to pursue an evil policy as an adage says muddy spring will have muddy streams.

It is the unanimous comment of the world people that they know no such wicked lady as the present south Korean chief executive. She knows nothing but letting loose reckless remarks escalating confrontation with fellow countrymen in the north wherever she goes without thinking over the consequences to be entailed by them.

Her confrontation hysteria is accompanied by evildoings of authorities under her.

This is evidenced by the behavior of Jong Hong Won who held the post of "prime minister" again after being forsaken by the angered public for his ill-fame. Ryu Kil Jae, "minister of Unification," is also laying bare his true colors as a despicable confrontation maniac though he uttered so many good words at the negotiating table before us.

The present chief executive of Chongwadae, before anyone else, had better stop recklessly wagging her tongue and all the south Korean authorities should halt their reckless confrontation rows if they have even an iota of sincerity for improving the north-south ties.

This is our principled stand and assertion.

The south Korean authorities would be well advised to bear deep in mind the noble intention of the supreme leadership of the DPRK to make a new history of improving the relations between the north and the south so that they may not regret later, the statement stressed.
