16. April 2026

Vor 94 Jahren, am 25. April 1932, gründete der grosse Generalissimus KIM IL SUNG die Koreanische Revolutionäre Volksarmee (KRVA).

Sie führte den bewaffneten Kampf gegen die japanischen Imperialisten und für die Befreiung Koreas.

Die KRVA war die erste Streitmacht des koreanischen Volkes, die für die nationale Befreiung Koreas vom Kolonialjoch des japanischen Imperialismus kämpfte.

Sie hatte ihr Hauptquartier im Päktu-Gebirge, am Fuss des Berges Päktu, des höchsten Berges und heiligen Berges Koreas.

Unter dem Oberbefehl des Generalissimus KIM IL SUNG kämpfte die KRVA in den Jahren 1932-1945 heldenhaft gegen die japanischen Okkupanten, errang in unzähligen Schlachten historiscche Siege und befreite Korea schliesslich am 15. August 1945.

Die vom grossen Generalissmus KIM IL SUNG, dem unbezwingbaren Heerführer und Strategen vom Päktu-Gebirge mit eisernem Willen, geführte KRVA brachte dem koreanischen Volk die lang ersehnte Freiheit und Unabhängigkeit.

Aus der KRVA ging die Koreanische Volksarmee (KVA) hervor, die am 8. Februar 1948 als die reguläre Armee des unabhängigen Korea und der noch im gleichen Jahr (9. September 1948) gegründeten Demokratischen Volksrepublik Korea (DVRK) gegründet wurde.

Ruhm und Ehre dem grossen Generalissimus KIM IL SUNG, dem unbezwingbaren Heerführer und Strategen vom Päktu-Gebirge mit eisernem Willen!

Ruhm und Ehre der heroischen Koreanischen Revolutionären Volksarmee, der Befreierin Koreas!

Peerlessly Great Man Opens up and Glorifies Era of Independence

Pyongyang, April 14 (KCNA) -- The immortal revolutionary hymn "Song of General Kim Il Sung" sung by artistes of different countries is resounding at the stages of the 34th April Spring Friendship Art Festival.

Watching art performances which reflected boundless reverence for President    Kim Il Sung, the Korean people and the world progressives are recollecting with deep emotion the immortal exploits the President performed for the times and the revolution and for the human cause of independence.

The President founded the Juche idea and put forward the oppressed and maltreated popular masses as the masters of history and led them to hew out their destiny by their own efforts, at the centre of the times and history.

In October 1972 the President met a friendly government delegation of Burkina Faso on a visit to the DPRK. He told its members that they should increase their economic strength in order to defend their political independence, and if they worship big countries and depend on them, they will have an idea that their own things are bad and the others' things are good.

Hearing the teachings given by the President, the members of the delegation cherished the truth that independence in politics can be realized only through self-support in the economy.

The members of a Guinean party and government delegation, who met the President, came to know the truth of independence while hearing his teachings.

Whenever he met many personages of political and public circles around the world who visited the DPRK, the President said that to maintain independence in the party and state activities is the most just policy that meets the requirements of the present era and that all the matters arising in the revolutionary struggle should be solved in conformity with the actual conditions of their countries by relying on the efforts of their people.

Indeed, President Kim Il Sung is a peerless sage who devoted his all to accomplishing the human cause of independence under the uplifted banner of independence all his life.

 

Press Statement of Policy Section Chief of Institute for Japan Studies under DPRK Foreign Ministry

Pyongyang, April 15 (KCNA) -- The policy section chief of the Institute for Japan Studies under the Foreign Ministry of the DPRK issued a press statement titled "Japan's diplomatic blue book is a tricky document to beautify its extreme militarist moves with 'threat from the neighboring countries'" on April 14.

The press statement is as follows:

Shortly ago, Japan announced the "2026 diplomatic blue book" woven with conventional gangster-like logic and absurdity.

I do not care whether Japan announced the diplomatic blue book or not, but I can never overlook the fact that it called into question the DPRK's exercise of right to legitimate self-defence, in an absurd attempt to shake the position of a nuclear weapons state specified in the Constitution of the DPRK.

Japan termed the DPRK's measures for bolstering up its defence capabilities, which belong to the right to self-defence, "grave and urgent threat" and "clear and serious challenge" and made an anachronistic and evasive assertion like "complete, verifiable and irreversible dismantlement" and "complete implementation of the resolution of the UN Security Council".

This is a grave provocation encroaching upon the sovereign rights, security interests and development rights of our sacred state and, at the same time, it fully reveals Japan's deep-rooted hostility and confrontational intention toward the DPRK.

In the diplomatic blue book, Japan talked about the "international order based on rules" and "governing by law", but refused to mention its master's top-class rogue act of unhesitatingly resorting to aggression and use of armed forces against sovereign states to hold its unilateral hegemony.

Japan, a vassal state of the U.S., which has neither clear political view nor independence, is making desperate efforts to deny the position of the DPRK as a nuclear weapons state. This is impudent and ridiculous act not quite fit for it.

Whenever an opportunity presents itself, Japan is letting loose rhetoric about the exercise of the right to self-defence by neighboring countries. Such move is aimed at covering up its criminal nature of shaking the keynote of security in the region while pursuing legal and institutional completion as a war state and expansion of its aggressive attack capability.

Japan's diplomatic blue book is a tricky and confrontation document from A to Z to beautify the militarist moves of the Japanese authorities who are dreaming of bringing about the second imperial era and rushing headlong into its realization with "threat from the neighboring countries" as an excuse.

 

DPRK Foreign Ministry Sportsperson on General Election of Parliament in Myanmar

Pyongyang, April 14 (KCNA) -- A spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry of the DPRK gave the following answer to a question raised by KCNA on April 14 as regards the fact that the general election of the parliament was recently held in Myanmar and that a new president was elected and inaugurated:

We pay regard to the fact that the five-year-long political transition has been ended and the country has entered a new phase of the development of the state and the society as the general election of the parliament was held in Myanmar and the president, elected through constitutional procedures, was inaugurated.

We respect the aspiration and choice of the people of Myanmar to achieve solid socio-political stability and create a peaceful and sustainable development environment in Myanmar.

We expect the development of the new situation in Myanmar will bring about the country's socio-political stability, promote the economic development and lead to the regional peace and stability of the situation.

Destroyer Choe Hyon Conducts Test-fire of Weapon Systems

Pyongyang, April 14 (KCNA) -- The test-fire of strategic cruise missiles and anti-warship missiles was conducted again in the operational efficiency test system of destroyer Choe Hyon of the Navy of the Korean People's Army on April 12.

Comrade Kim Jong Un, together with leading officials in the field of national defence and commanding officers of the Navy, observed the test-fire.

The test-fire was aimed at checking the launching control line of the warship's integrated weapon commanding system and familiarizing the seamen with the missile firing action, as well as confirming the accuracy and the rate of hits of the improved active anti-jamming navigation system.

Two strategic cruise missiles and three anti-warship missiles were test-fired from destroyer Choe Hyon.

The launched strategic cruise missiles flew for 7 869s to 7 920s and anti-warship missiles for 1 960s to 1 973s along the flight orbits set in the sky above the West Sea of Korea and struck the targets with ultra-precision hit accuracy.

On the same day, Comrade Kim Jong Un heard a report on the examined formation plan of weapon systems for the destroyers Nos. 3 and 4 under construction and made an important conclusion.

He expressed great satisfaction over the fact that the preparedness of our army's strategic action has been strengthened in a qualitative way with various achievements recently made in the field of defence science.

Saying that it is our Party's invariable national defence line and most important priority task to steadily and unlimitedly bolster up the powerful and reliable nuclear war deterrent, he clarified the important tasks for further strengthening the strategic and tactical attack capability, a key component of the nuclear war deterrent, and for improving and sophisticating the prompt response posture.

 

Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un Sends Educational Aid Fund, Stipends to Korean Children in Japan

Pyongyang, April 14 (KCNA) -- The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un sent to the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan the educational aid fund and stipends amounting to 316.36 million yen in Japanese currency for the democratic national education of the children of Koreans in Japan on the occasion of the 114th birth anniversary of President Kim Il Sung.

The educational aid fund and stipends, sent by President Kim Il Sung, Chairman Kim Jong Il and the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un for the children of Korean residents in Japan in 172 installments so far, total to 50 304 950 390 yen in Japanese currency.

 

Pyongyang in April, Full of Deep Reverence for Great Man

Pyongyang, April 13 (KCNA) -- The 15th of April this year is the 114th birthday of President Kim Il Sung.

Pyongyang in April is always wrapped up in an atmosphere of boundless reverence of the Korean people and the world progressives for the President, the founder of socialist Korea.

Working people from all walks of life, service personnel and school youth and children are visiting the President's birthplace in Mangyongdae and the revolutionary sites associated with his undying exploits.

And such various events as the national photo exhibition, the national art exhibition and the national industrial art exhibition are being held at the People's Palace of Culture, the Korean Art Gallery and other places.

Through monumental hymns and famous songs in the art performances, working people of institutions, industrial establishments, farms and other units are singing of the high pride and happiness they have enjoyed under the blessings of the illustrious leaders generation after generation.

Streets and parks are beautifully decorated with various flower shrubs in full bloom.

At the April Spring Friendship Art Festival opened in Pyongyang with sincerity of the progressive mankind, artistes of different countries put on the stages famous songs of the times loved by the Korean people, adding to the atmosphere of celebrating the jubilant spring holiday.

 

WPK Is Revolutionary Party for People: Rodong Sinmun

Pyongyang, April 13 (KCNA) -- The great Workers' Party of Korea is dynamically leading the struggle for great transformation to ensure the long-term state development. Thanks to its ever-victorious leadership, the history of the brilliant dignity, powerful strength and brilliant prosperity, which all the generations of the DPRK have desired, is being given steady continuity on this land, says Rodong Sinmun Monday in an article.

The WPK is the genuine people's Party which has adopted all its lines and policies as intended by the people and led them to a new life and civilization, the article says, and goes on:

Our Party's policy is based on the people-first principle, which is consistent with selfless, devoted efforts for the good of the people from A to Z, and is oriented to realizing the people's cherished desire.

Our Party, guided by the political idea of believing in the people as in Heaven, is expanding the scope and depth of its policy.

The WPK is the seasoned general staff of the revolution which has oriented the faith and wisdom of all the people to the struggle for great transformation to open up a new phase of comprehensive state development.

The victory in the past five years' struggle, in which we pioneered a new trend of prosperity, irreversible and irresistible, in the face of the worst crisis and challenges ever in history, is the precious fruit of our Party's ideology-first principle.

It is the eternal mode of struggle of our Party to hold fast to the Juche-oriented theory of ideology as the key to everything.

The WPK is a great party which awakens the people to its noble ideals and great ambition and builds a bright future by inspiring them.

The leader's noble outlook on the people, noble outlook on happiness and extraordinary outlook on life are recorded in each page of the sacred history of the Party.

The WPK is a great party which makes any decision boldly if it is for the people, and implements it without fail. It is also an invincible party with noble responsibility and strong practical ability which unconditionally keeps any promise to the people.
