Mass Rally Held in Pyongyang
Pyongyang, June 25 (KCNA) -- A mass rally of Pyongyangites was held here on June 25, the day of struggle against the U.S. imperialists. People from all walks of life in the city marched along the streets, holding aloft placards reading "Let's take revenge upon U.S. imperialist murderers a thousand times!" and "Let's wipe out U.S. imperialist aggressors" and so on. At least a million people thronged Jonsung Square, the plaza of the Tower of the Juche Idea, the plaza in front of the monument to party founding, the plaza of the Arch of Triumph, the plaza of the Mangyongdae Schoolchildren's Palace and other plazas in the city in no time.
The mass rally was attended by senior party, state and army officials including Pak Pong Ju, premier of the Cabinet, and chairpersons of the friendly parties.
Present on invitation were diplomatic envoys of different countries, military attaches and other foreign guests.
Ryang Man Gil, chairman of the Pyongyang City People's Committee, made a speech.
He said that the U.S. imperialists sought to stifle the DPRK by mobilizing huge troops and lethal military equipment but they could not bring to their knees the army and people of the DPRK who rose up as one in do-or-die resistance to defend the country, rallied close around the party and the leader.
He vehemently denounced the U.S. imperialists, the sworn enemy, for having ceaselessly schemed to stifle the DPRK and provoke a new war for over 50 years after the ceasefire, far from drawing a proper lesson from the bitter defeat they suffered in the last Korean war.
The anti-U.S. and anti-war struggle to frustrate the ever more undisguised moves of the U.S. and its followers to stifle the DPRK and provoke a war is a great sacred war to defend the destiny of not only Koreans in the northern part of the Korean peninsula but all other Koreans and an all-out confrontation between justice and injustice and between the Korean nation standing for peace and the U.S. standing against peace, he said, and went on:
If the U.S. warhawks ignite a war at any cost in the inviolable territory of Korea despite its repeated warnings, the army and people of the DPRK will mobilize all their built up war deterrent force to wipe out the aggressors to the last man and achieve a shining victory in the showdown with the U.S.
The great Songun policy is a genuine patriotic policy to avert a war and defend peace, he said, underscoring the need for all the Koreans in the north and the south and abroad to support and uphold the great Songun policy.
Representatives of workers, peasants and youth and students in their speeches said that if the U.S. imperialists launch a war of aggression again in this land, all the Korean people will defend their homeland at the cost of their lives in do-or-die spirit just as their parents did in the 1950s, wipe out the aggressors and certainly accomplish the sacred cause of national reunification.
The participants loudly chanted slogans reflecting the desire of the times and their iron will to achieve a historic victory in confrontation with the U.S. and in the cause of national reunification.
