Press Statement by Policy Section Chief of Institute for Japan Studies under DPRK Foreign Ministry Pyongyang, July 18 (KCNA) -- The policy section chief of the Institute for Japan Studies under the Foreign Ministry of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea on Thursday issued the following press statement titled "Japan's defense white paper is a war scenario for realizing its ambition for reinvasion from A to Z": Japan, obsessed with its ambition for reinvasion, is busy for securing the capability for preemptive attack, released the 2025 Defense White Paper. Japan again asserted in the white paper on the basis of the stereotyped method that an "urgent threat" comes from the DPRK, China and Russia with their just measures for bolstering up their military capabilities. This is nothing but shameless sophism to cover up the threatening entity of Japan which is escalating the regional situation in a gradual way and justify its reckless moves to turn itself into a military giant, leaving the whole area of the archipelago as a military outpost and logistic base for realizing the U.S. hegemony-oriented strategy in the Indo-Pacific. It is the common knowledge that Japan formulated the possession of preemptive attack capabilities by revising the "national security strategy" and, for its realization, has speeded up the development of home-produced long-range missiles as well as the purchase of foreign-produced long-range missiles in recent years. Japan, which increased its defense budget in 2025 to the largest scale in history, is resorting on a full scale to bolstering up its military capabilities more than ever before, while purchasing medium-range air-to-air missiles and long-range air-to-surface cruise missiles and related equipment worth about 3.7 billion U.S. dollars from the U.S. Under such situation, Japan is mulling deploying U.S.-produced 400 Tomahawk long-range cruise missiles and type 12 surface-to-ship guided missiles which increased the range of more than 1 000 km and were remodeled to operate not only on the ground but also in the air and sea from this year. Japan, a war criminal state, openly declared its possession of the capability for preemptive attack on the sovereign territory of other country and tries to seize the long-range strike means with operational radius far beyond the range of the archipelago. This is a very dangerous attempt to violate and destroy peace and security in the region and rest of the world and push the regional situation to the touch-and-go situation. Japan, which has styled itself a "peace state" under the pretext of the principle of "exclusive defence" before the international community till now, is working hard to build the capability for carrying out war of aggression such as the capability for long-range strike and trans-domain operation. This is not merely a passive or temporary countermeasure according to the "tension of the situation in the surrounding region" but a military policy orientation which has been persistently pursued for a long time, setting it as a strategic goal since its defeat. The present development clearly proves once again that the efforts of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea to bolster up its nuclear war deterrence serve as an indispensable contribution to strongly suppressing the provocations of the U.S. and its allies, which are becoming undisguised worldwide, and maintaining the strategic balance and stability of the region. Japan's defence white paper is a war scenario for realizing its ambition for reinvasion from A to Z and its moves for turning Japan into a military giant seriously threatening regional peace and security can never be tolerated. The region and the international community should heighten due vigilance against the Japan's ambition for becoming a military giant recklessly transforming day after day and resolutely oppose and reject it.
Wonsan Kalma Coastal Tourist Area Crowded with People Pyongyang, July 16 (KCNA) -- People are enjoying the socialist civilization to their heart's content in Myongsasimni, a scenic spot on the east coast of the DPRK.

Endless were the joy and pleasure of the working people who cool their bodies in the clear and blue sea water and enjoy the delicacy of our style of civilization with kind service at various service networks. Taking photos all day long, they spend day and night with delightful seaside feelings.
Seminars on Immortal Exploits of President Kim Il Sung Held in Different Countries Pyongyang, July 17 (KCNA) -- Seminars on the immortal exploits of President Kim Il Sung took place in Cambodia, Belarus, Austria, France, Serbia, Algeria and Brazil from July 4 to 8 on the occasion of the 31st anniversary of his demise. Present there were personages of political parties, organizations and institutions and members of organizations for the study of the Juche idea and organizations for friendship and solidarity with the DPRK people in the relevant countries. Speeches were made at the seminars. A vice-chairperson of the FUNCINPEC Party of Cambodia and the chief of the Belarusian Group for Solidarity with the DPRK highly praised the President as the outstanding state leader in the 20th century, invincible and iron-willed commander and the greatest man who made great contributions to the Korean revolution and the cause of global independence. The chief and members of the Vienna Group for the Study of Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism in Austria said that President Kim Il Sung led the DPRK to victory and glory with his rare idea and theory and gigantic revolutionary practice, adding that the DPRK people could be liberated from the colonial rule of Japanese imperialism and defend the sovereignty and independence of the country from the U.S. imperialists' aggression as they were led by him. Personages of the New Yugoslav Communist Party and the Serbian National Committee for the Study of the Juche Idea in the seminar praised the President for achieving the historic cause of national liberation through the bloody anti-Japanese war and creating the myth of war victory unprecedented in the world history of wars, the military miracle in the 20th century, by shattering the myth of the U.S. imperialists' "mightiness". Saying that President Kim Il Sung is a great revolutionary boundlessly revered by the progressive mankind and a prominent leader of the world socialist movement, a member of the National Political Committee of the Brazilian Communist Party praised the President for devoting his all to the victorious advance of the socialist cause and the cause of independence against imperialism under the uplifted banner of independence and international justice all his life.
