At least one million-strong anti-U.S. mass rallies and demonstrations held

KCNA

    Pyongyang, June 25 (KCNA) -- Mass rallies were held in different parts of Pyongyang including Kim Il Sung Square and plazas in front of the arch of triumph, the Pyongyang Indoor Stadium and the Tower of the Juche Idea this afternoon on the occasion of "June 25, the Day of anti-U.S. Imperialist Struggle," 53 years after the U.S. imperialists started a war of aggression in Korea. The rallies were attended by at least a million Pyongyangites from all walks of life shaking with indignation against the U.S. imperialists.
    Among them were premier of the DPRK cabinet Hong Song Nam, Secretary of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea Jon Pyong Ho, Vice-President of the Presidium of the Supreme People's Assembly Yang Hyong Sop and other senior officials and overseas compatriots. Foreign guests were present on invitation.
    Chairman of the Pyongyang City People's Committee Ryang Man Gil said in a speech that the Korean war was the most brutal and brigandish war of aggression in the history of world wars. But the United States has persistently maneuvered to provoke another war against the DPRK instead of drawing a proper lesson from the shameful defeat it sustained in the war, he noted.
    Recalling that the Bush administration is pushing the situation of the Korean peninsula to the brink of war, he appealed to the fellow countrymen in the north, the south and overseas in a life-and-death nationwide struggle to decisively foil the reckless moves of the U.S. imperialists to invade the north and wage a courageous and sacred anti-U.S. struggle to force the U.S. aggression troops, the root cause of misfortune and disasters of our nation, out of South Korea. He went on:
    The DPRK has no option but to put further spurs to bolstering its self-defensive nuclear deterrent force as the united states is persistently pursuing its strategy to isolate and stifle the DPRK, the strategy coupled with blockade and psychological operations against it.
    If the U.S. imperialist aggressors intrude into the inviolable sky, land and seas of the country even an inch, the Korean people's army and people will wipe out the aggressors to the last one and thus once again demonstrate to the world the stamina and wisdom of the Korean nation.
    The Japanese reactionaries should properly apologize to the Korean nation for the crimes committed against it in the past and redress them before pulling up someone. Japan should know well that it will meet only doom if it persists in its hostile acts against the DPRK, pursuant to the u.s. strategy against Pyongyang.
