Japan is shelving the issue of its redress for its past crimes, a most serious moral problem pending an urgent solution. If Japan, considerate of its future, truly wishes to see the sound moral development of the rising generation, it should know well what is most urgent. Any short-sighted action will only invite misfortune. It is a priority task for Japan to redeem its past crimes. Solutions to all problems such as challenges of Japan's diplomacy, moral education of students, etc, depend on the fulfillment of this priority task.
Japan is well advised to face up to the reality and make a right judgement and decision.
A national seminar on the Juche idea-oriented independence and sovereignty of Democratic Congo was held in Kinshasa on the occasion of the 55th anniversary of the Worker's Party of Korea. In his opening address at the seminar the Minister of Public Works and Technical Education of Democratic Congo said that the Democratic People's Republic of Korea has become a country strongest in independence, a dignified country which no one can dare provoke as it takes the Juche idea, a new man-centred philosophical idea, as its guiding idea. A letter to the great leader Kim Jong Il was adopted at the seminar. It said that the participation of more than a hundred million people of many countries in the five continents in the campaign in a short span of time clearly showed that the three-point charter is the most fair and aboveboard and reasonable programme indicating the way of Korea's reunification and the world people unanimously want the independent and peaceful reunification of Korea. A statement of the presidium was adopted at the meeting.
