62nd Anniversary of Workers' Party of Korea
October 10 marks the 62nd anniversary of the founding
of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK). On this occasion, TML
sends its revolutionary greetings to the WPK and its leadership, the
people of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and the entire
Korean people.
Founded by Comrade Kim Il Sung and under the present
leadership of Comrade Kim Jong Il, the WPK has led the people of the
DPRK for 62 years to build an independent, prosperous socialist
country. From the time of its founding, the WPK has faced severe tests
including the brutal war of aggression
launched by the United States under the banner of the United Nations
from 1950-53. This aggression devastated much of Korea and resulted in
the loss of some four million lives, the majority of whom were
civilians. It was the WPK under the leadership of Kim Il Sung which
mobilized the Korean People's Army
and the people to defeat the U.S. aggressors and force them to sign the
Armistice Agreement in 1953. After the war, the WPK mobilized the
people to rebuild their devastated country in record time and to build
a self-reliant economy despite a crippling embargo imposed by the U.S.
and constant military threats which
have escalated in the recent period.
From its inception, the WPK took up the historic task
of Korean reunification. It has provided the political leadership to
mobilize the entire Korean people toward realizing the task of national
reunification under the banner of "by the nation itself." It calls on
all Koreans to work together to oust the
U.S. military from south Korea and to reunify their country peacefully
and independently without outside interference. In recent years this
leadership has given rise to significant results, including the June
15, 2000 North-South Joint Declaration and now the 2007 declaration
signed at the second inter-Korean summit.
Each of these agreements mark the advances made by the movement for
reunification and provide a framework and impetus for its further
development by laying out concrete tasks in order to build trust and
co-operation between Koreans on both sides of their divided country. TML
expresses its confidence
that this bold work will be crowned with the glorious victory of Korean
reunification.
Long Live the Workers' Party of Korea!
Victory to the
Struggle for Independent, Peaceful Reunification!
National Reunification
Historic Second Inter-Korean Summit
The historic second Inter-Korean Summit that was held in
Pyongyang, capital of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK)
on October 2-4, 2007. The first summit seven years ago was also hosted
by
the DPRK and produced the historic June 15 north-south agreement which
led to a new era of relations
between the two halves of the Korean nation. The intervening period has
seen tremendous development of the work for Korean reunification with
great strides being made through joint actions on the fronts of the
economy, transport, culture and sports, including travel of dignitaries
and family members separated by the
division of Korea. Born of the success of the first summit, the second
inter-Korean summit is thus an important milestone in the normalization
of relations between north and south Koreans. The success of the
process is inexorably linked to the tenacious efforts of the DPRK to
successfully defend its sovereignty.
It doing so, it is protecting the reunification movement from U.S.
imperialist interference, allowing the Korean people to undertake the
historic task in a manner which serves their national interest and no
other. In this context, the second summit has significance for all
nations and peoples. By keeping U.S. imperialism
in check on the Korean peninsula, the cause of world peace is
strengthened. The summit epitomizes the struggle of
all those who are striving for peace, independence and
self-determination, and for a world free of U.S. imperialist
domination, colonialism and war.
 On October 2 President Roh Moo Hyun led a delegation of
some 300 south Koreans to the summit. Travelling by car to Pyongyang
for the summit, he became the first south Korean head of state to
travel overland to the DPRK. At the Demarcation Line established in
1953 as part of the armistice agreement
dividing Korea into north and south, President Roh stepped out of his
car and crossed the yellow line on foot, symbolizing the opening of a
new era in north-south relations.
"After I return home, many more people will do
likewise. Then this line of division will finally be erased and the
barrier will break down," remarked Roh, adding that his visit would
"tear down the wall of division, ease national pain from the division
and lead to the path for peace and reconciliation."
Prior to his departure for Pyongyang, a televised
statement by President Roh was broadcast in the south. In it, Roh vowed
to put a new Korean Peninsula peace arrangement to formally end the
1950-53 Korean War at the top of his summit agenda.
"There will be various items on the agenda for
discussion, but, among other things, I intend to concentrate on making
substantive and concrete progress that will bring about a peace
settlement together with economic development," said the president. "I
firmly believe that things will progress well. This
is because the two Koreas are likely to remain on the same path if we
take a far-sighted and broad stand," Roh stressed.
Residents of Pyongyang from all walks of life lined up
at the plaza in front of the April 25 House of Culture to greet the two
heads of state. When Kim Jong Il appeared at the plaza, the crowd broke
into thunderous cheers. Also present were Kim Yong Il, premier of the
Cabinet, Kim Il Chol, minister
of the People's Armed Forces, Choe Thae Bok, chairman of the Supreme
People's Assembly, Yang Hyong Sop, vice-president of the SPA Presidium,
Kim Ki Nam, secretary of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of
Korea, Kang Sok Ju, first vice-minister of Foreign Affairs, Kim Yong
Dae, chairman of
the Central Committee of the Korean Social Democratic Party, and
leading officials of the party, armed forces and power organs, working
people's organizations, ministries and national institutions.
At noon, a limousine carrying Kim Yong Nam, president
of the Supreme People's Assembly Presidium, and President Roh arrived
at the plaza. Amidst the playing of the welcome music, the crowd
welcomed Roh, waving bouquets. Kim Jong Il exchanged a handshake and
greetings with Roh Moo
Hyun.
Roh was accompanied by Minister of Finance and Economy
Kwon O Gyu, Minister of Science and Technology Kim U Sik, Minister of
Unification Ri Jae Jong, Minister of National Defence Kim Jang Su,
Minister of Agriculture and Forestry Im Sang Gyu, Minister of Health
and Welfare Pyon Jae
Jin, Director of the National Intelligence Service Kim Man Bok and
other suite members and reporters.
At the plaza Kim Jong Il and Roh Moo Hyun reviewed the
honour guard of the three branches of the Korean People's Army. Women
workers presented bouquets to Roh and his wife. The two leaders waved
back to the enthusiastically welcoming crowd, passing before them.
 While in the DPRK, the north and south delegations met
for a series of bi-lateral meetings aimed at strengthening the growing
relationship between both sides. President Roh also had extended
meetings with Chairman Kim Jong Il of the DPRK National Defence
Commission, for discussions to advance
the political project of Korean unification.
As part of the summit, round-table talks were held
among representatives in different fields in the north and the south on
October 3. They included talks between politicians, businessmen,
different industrialists and persons in the fields of culture, arts and
science, figures of social organizations and
media institutions, religious people and women. At the talks the
representatives referred to the achievements made in the efforts to
implement the June 15 joint declaration in the past.
They exchanged views on boosting the cooperation in
order to contribute to achieving reconciliation, unity and prosperity
common to the nation and accomplishing the cause of reunification in
the idea of "By our nation itself."
Also on October 3, President Roh hosted a banquet at
the People's Palace of Culture with various dignitaries from north and
south attending, where he made a speech. He said that he would never
forget the cordial hospitality accorded to him by fellow countrymen in
the north. He extended thanks to
Chairman of the National Defence Commission Kim Jong Il for enabling
him and his party to have a pleasant stay in Pyongyang. The publication
of the June 15 joint declaration marked an epochal turning point in
placing the inter-Korean relations on the orbit of reconciliation and
cooperation, he stressed. Changes
hardly imaginable even a decade before have become a reality, he said,
calling on the south and the north to pool efforts to usher in an era
of prosperity. He extended best wishes for the good health of Kim Jong
Il.
Kim Yong Nam spoke next. He pointed out that the
exciting
news that Kim Jong Il greeted and met Roh Moo Hyun upon the latter's
arrival in Pyongyang is evoking a lively response at home and abroad.
"We have the June 15 joint declaration, a great
program for reunification and the
idea of 'By our nation itself,' a mental mainstay common to the
nation," he added. He called for implementing the joint declaration and
thus
opening the future of a reunified nation. He called on the north and
the south to pool efforts to meet all challenges and independently pave
the way for the nation.
Later that day members of both delegations attended the
grand gymnastic and artistic performance "Arirang," depicting the
Korean nation's past full of ordeals, the present reality of the DPRK
witnessing prosperity and development and the aspiration of the Koreans
to achieve the independent and peaceful
reunification and prosperity of the nation.
At the end of the summit, a joint Declaration for
Development of North-South Relations and Peace and Prosperity was
signed by Chairman Kim Jong Il and President Roh. The declaration
further strengthens the spirit and principles of the historic June 15
Joint Declaration signed in Pyongyang
in 2000, between Chairman Kim Jong Il and then south Korean President
Kim Dae-Jung which ushered in a new era in modern Korean history -- the
era of Korean Reunification. It calls on Koreans north, south and
overseas to unite as one people to achieve national re-unification
peacefully and through their own
efforts.
The declaration lays out practical measures that will
be taken up by both sides in the coming period to advance bi-lateral
interests for the benefit of the Korean people. One of the principle
points made in the declaration is for both sides to work towards
replacing the Armistice Agreement signed on
July 27, 1953 to end the fighting in the Korean War with a permanent
peace treaty by involving other parties involved in the signing of the
Armistice. This will contribute to easing tensions not only between
north and south Korea, but also in the region.
As well, it re-affirms the commitment of the government
of the DPRK and the government of the Republic of Korea to work in a
co-operative manner and solve disputes respectfully and through
negotiations without interfering in each other's affairs. The
principles laid out are another nail in the coffin
of U.S. imperialist plans to meddle in the internal affairs of the
Korean nation and to undermine the Korean people's just struggle for
self-determination, independence and re-unification.
TML hails the successes achieved at the
historic second Inter-Korean Summit and calls on all peace and justice
loving people in Canada and around the world to rally around the Korean
people as they put into action the principles laid out in the Declaration
for Development of North-South
Relations and Peace and Prosperity. Furthermore TML
calls on the Canadian working class and people and peoples of the world
to vigorously oppose the attempts by the Bush administration to
undermine the Korean re-unification movement and demands that the
Canadian government take a principled
stand and support the just struggle of the Korean people for
self-determination, independence, re-unification and peace!
Hail the Second Inter-Korean Summit!
China, UN Secretary General Welcome Positive Results
China welcomes "positive results" yielded from an
inter-Korean summit on promoting peace and cooperation on the Korean
Peninsula, said Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao in
Beijing on October 4.
"China always supports two sides of the Korean
Peninsula to improve bilateral relations and realize reconciliation and
cooperation through dialogue," Liu said.
"We welcome the positive results of inter-Korean summit
and believe that it is conducive to the peaceful progress of the
Korean Peninsula and to the peace and stability in the region," Liu
said.
Also that day, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon
welcomed the summit calling it a major step toward peace and security
on the
Korean Peninsula.
In a statement released by his spokesperson, Ban said
the Declaration on the Advancement of South-North Korean Relations,
Peace and Prosperity, signed in Pyongyang by the leaders of the
Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) and the Republic of Korea,
is a major step forward to enhance
inter-Korean cooperation as well as peace and security on the Korean
Peninsula and in Northeast Asia.
He commended the two leaders' commitment to expand and
advance inter-Korean relations, as well as to move towards permanent
peace on a non-nuclear Korean Peninsula through increased bilateral
dialogue, cooperation and multilateral diplomacy including the six-
party talks.
Ban reiterated his support to the peace process on the
peninsula, saying "the United Nations stands ready to provide
assistance as may be required, in cooperation with the international
community."

Six-Party Talks
Second Session Takes Place
Despite U.S. Provocations
The second session of the Sixth Round of Six-Party talks
took place in Beijing, China September 27-30, 2007. The session
reviewed the implementation of February 13, 2007 agreement (see TML
Daily, February 22, 2007 - No. 29), the first-phase measure
for the implementation of the September 19, 2005 joint statement for
the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and discussed of the next
phase of goals and commitments of the six parties, concluding with the
adoption of a joint document. According to the joint document made
public on October 3, the U.S. decided
to take such political measures as delisting the DPRK as a terrorism
sponsor and putting an end to the application of the Trading with the
Enemy Act in return for the DPRK's neutralization of its nuclear
facilities by the end of 2007 on the principle of "action for action"
and the five parties decided to wind up the
economic compensation equivalent to one million tons of heavy fuel oil
whose supply has already started and is now underway under February 13
agreement.
Taking a principled stand as always, again the
Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) came to the talks in a
sincere effort to move forward and discuss the denuclearization of the
Korean peninsula, normalization of relations with the U.S. and other
matters. Meanwhile, contrary to the spirit
of the talks, the U.S. has continued its posturing and provocations
against the DPRK, including the spread of disinformation about the DPRK
as a "nuclear terrorist state." In particular, disinformation that the
DPRK has been supplying Syria with nuclear materials to make weapons of
mass destruction and so on was
carried in various U.S. monopoly media such as the New York Times,
as well as Canadian monopoly media in mid-September just before this
most recent round of negotiations. The DPRK foreign ministry denounced
these accusations which were not substantiated by the U.S. In addition,
the U.S. military
continues to violate DPRK air-space. In September, over 110 acts of
aerial espionage were committed against the DPRK using spy planes such
as the U-2.
Such aggressive and duplicitous actions against the
Korean people have characterized the U.S. participation in the talks.
The U.S. imperialists have long-standing designs on Korea as a foothold
for further expansion into Asia and therefore do not want to have a
"normal" relationship with the DPRK.
It is the DPRK that is leading the Korean reunification movement which
will only succeed when all U.S. troops are withdrawn from Korean
territory. The movement represents the death knell of U.S. imperialism
in Korea and its geopolitical ambitions in East Asia. For these
reasons, the U.S. has shown unwillingness
to follow through on its commitments vis-à-vis the
Six-Party Talks. It does as little as possible to normalize economic
and political relations with the DPRK even though this was one of the
key points of the agreement from the very first session of the
Six-Party Talks. Then, to add insult to injury, it tries
to muddy the waters by covering up its obstructive and destructive
conduct and appeal to base prejudices by saying the problem is the
north Koreans. Nonetheless, the DPRK, under the leadership of the
Workers' Party of Korea and Kim Jong Il, continues to show its
political maturity and patience in handling this
complex situation, ever with its focus on the ultimate goal of
independent reunification of the Korean nation.
Under these circumstances it is vital for
the Canadian working class and people and the peoples of the world to
demand that the U.S. uphold its commitments in accord with the Joint
Statement issued at the end of the second session of the Sixth Round of
Six Party Talks.
Joint Statement of Six-Party Talks
A joint document,
entitled "Second-Phase Actions
for the Implementation of the Joint Statement," was released October 3 in Beijing after a two-day recess of the
second session of the sixth
round of the Six-Party Talks. The full text is as follows.
***
The Second Session of the Sixth Round of the Six-Party
Talks was held in Beijing among the People's Republic of China, the
Democratic People's Republic of Korea, Japan, the Republic of Korea,
the Russian Federation and the United States of America from 27 to 30
September 2007.
Mr. Wu Dawei, Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs of the
PRC, Mr. Kim Gye Gwan, Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs of the DPRK,
Mr. Kenichiro Sasae, Director-General for Asian and Oceanian Affairs,
Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan, Mr. Chun Yung-woo, Special
Representative for Korean Peninsula
Peace and Security Affairs of the ROK Ministry of Foreign Affairs and
Trade, Mr. Alexander Losyukov, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of
the Russian Federation, and Mr. Christopher Hill, Assistant Secretary
for East Asian and Pacific Affairs of the Department of State of the
United States, attended the talks
as heads of their respective delegations. Vice Foreign Minister Wu
Dawei chaired the talks.
The Parties listened to and endorsed the reports of the
five Working Groups, confirmed the implementation of the initial
actions provided for in the February 13 agreement, agreed to push
forward the Six-Party Talks process in accordance with the consensus
reached at the meetings of the Working Groups
and reached agreement on second-phase actions for the implementation of
the Joint Statement of 19 September 2005, the goal of which is the
verifiable denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula in a peaceful
manner.
I. On Denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula
1. The DPRK agreed to disable all existing nuclear
facilities subject to abandonment under the September 2005 Joint
Statement and the February 13 agreement.
The disablement of the 5 megawatt Experimental Reactor
at Yongbyon, the Reprocessing Plant (Radiochemical Laboratory) at
Yongbyon and the Nuclear Fuel Rod Fabrication Facility at Yongbyon will
be completed by 31 December 2007. Specific measures recommended by the
expert group will be
adopted by heads of delegation in line with the principles of being
acceptable to all Parties, scientific, safe, verifiable, and consistent
with international standards. At the request of the other Parties, the
United States will lead disablement activities and provide the initial
funding for those activities. As a first step, the
U.S. side will lead the expert group to the DPRK within the next two
weeks to prepare for disablement.
2. The DPRK agreed to provide a complete and correct
declaration of all its nuclear programs in accordance with the February
13 agreement by 31 December 2007.
3. The DPRK reaffirmed its commitment not to transfer
nuclear materials, technology, or know-how.
II. On Normalization of Relations between Relevant
Countries
1. The DPRK and the United States remain committed to
improving their bilateral relations and moving towards a full
diplomatic relationship. The two sides will increase bilateral
exchanges and enhance mutual trust. Recalling the
commitments to begin the process of removing the designation of the
DPRK as a state sponsor of terrorism and advance the process of
terminating the application of the Trading with the Enemy Act with
respect to the DPRK, the United States will fulfill its commitments to
the DPRK in parallel with the DPRK's
actions based on consensus reached at the meetings of the Working Group
on Normalization of DPRK-U.S. Relations.
2. The DPRK and Japan will make sincere efforts to
normalize their relations expeditiously in accordance with the
Pyongyang Declaration, on the basis of the settlement of the
unfortunate past and the outstanding issues of concern. The DPRK and
Japan committed themselves to taking specific actions
toward this end through intensive consultations between them.
III. On Economic and Energy Assistance to the DPRK
In accordance with the February 13 agreement, economic,
energy and humanitarian assistance up to the equivalent of one million
tons of HFO (inclusive of the 100,000 tons of HFO already delivered)
will be provided to the DPRK. Specific
modalities will be finalized through discussion by the Working Group on
Economy and Energy Cooperation.
IV. On the Six-Party Ministerial Meeting
The Parties reiterated that the Six-Party Ministerial
Meeting will be held in Beijing at an appropriate time. The Parties
agreed to hold a heads of delegation meeting prior to the Ministerial
Meeting to discuss the agenda for the Meeting.
