 Mass protests in North Korea against U.S. warmongering policies

TOKYO.- The Japanese and South Korean press both gave space this Thursday to
protests against U.S. warmongering policies in the Democratic People's
Republic of Korea, supported by more than one million people, PL reports.

On the 53rd anniversary of the start of the Korean War (1950-1953)
yesterday, hundreds of thousands of North Koreans gathered in the principal
streets and squares of Pyongyan, the capital, to demand a radical change in
Washington's posture toward the northern part of the peninsula.

According to the Japanese, South Korean and North Korean news agencies
Kyodo, Tonhap and KCNA, respectively, the demonstrators swore to resist U.S.
threats and expressed agreement with a speech in Seoul by Roh Moo Hyun, the
South Korean president, who commemorated the date by calling on the
neighboring territory to organize a multinational forum to resolve its
difference with the White House regarding the nuclear issue.

Nevertheless, Pyongyang has discarded that kind of negotiations, as it
perceives the issue as solely concerning the United States and the
Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

Diplomatic pressure against North Korea imposed on the international
community by Washington was described this week by Pyongyang as an action
aimed at unleashing a war in Asia.
