Int'l Affairs Analyst of DPRK on Doctrine of "America First" Pyongyang, March 15 (KCNA) -- Kim Myong Chol, an international affairs analyst of the DPRK, issued the following article titled "'America first' prioritizing the U.S. exclusive interests will positively promote the whole world's multi-polarization": The centuries-old desire of mankind to live in a just, peaceful, stable and rich world is faced with a grave challenge due to the emergence of the present U.S. administration and the whirlwind by the "America first", its political philosophy. The unprecedented evil cycle of confusion, distrust, confrontation and contradiction, caused by the inevitable decline of U.S. imperialism and the avaricious foreign policy of the successive U.S. administrations for delaying it even a little, is being further accelerated by the reemergence of the Trump administration and the "America first". The doctrine "America first" of the American empire, appearing to embody the universal attribute of international relations centered on national interests, has clearly revealed its peculiar high-handed, aggressive and predatory nature with the passage of time. The world progressive mankind aspiring after peace and international justice are strictly watching the hypocritical entity of U.S. imperialism wrapped in a cloth of the "America first". Clear is the reason why the "America first" is denounced and rejected in different parts of the world. The "America first" is, in essence, a continued and expanded version of imperialism and hegemonism pursued by the U.S. since its birth in the world. It is based on the extreme chauvinism and Yankee way of thinking that it is all right to violate the rights to sovereignty, existence and development of other countries and nations for the interests of the U.S. When taking into consideration its inborn attribute as well as its ideological characters such as "muscle flexing" and "peace by strength", the "America first" has nothing to do with the idea of different countries and nations for preserving, promoting and developing their good qualities. The present U.S. administration's remarks and deeds according to the doctrine "America first" make one easily understand the aggressive nature of the doctrine. The present U.S. administration adorned the beginning of its second-term office, internally with the enforcement of extreme discrimination policy aimed at the massive deportation of "illegal immigrants" and externally with the withdrawal from international organizations such as WHO, the Paris Agreement on Climate Change and the UN Human Rights Council and the demonstration of its gangster-like will to annex inviolable territories of a sovereign state. After its inauguration, the administration has further enhanced the scale and pace of its aggressive and hegemonic foreign policy based on the "America first". It seeks exclusive economic interests by wielding an indiscriminate tariff club against neighboring countries, allies and enemy countries. And it has thrown off even its deceptive "humanitarian" mask to totally stop the "foreign assistance" to other countries. It is also pushing the international community into a great shock by repeating the unreasonable and surprising acts such as proposed "taking-over of Gaza Strip and its development as a resort". European countries, Japan, the ROK and other allies, which have zealously followed the U.S. domination strategy for unipolar world, boasting of the "alliance" of nearly 80 years after the Second World War, are suffering "humiliation" and "contempt". This is a natural result of the "America first". Politicians and media of Western countries, that have been so faithful to the U.S., are deploring that the present U.S. administration's blackmail policy heralds a new era of jungle law and its "America first" is not isolationism but interventionism that has put on another mask. Even conservative media and experts of the U.S. unhesitatingly contend that definiteness and concreteness should be added to the doctrine of "America first" to make it more positively contribute to expanding the U.S. external role as "international leader". Such comments are only a few partial examples showing that the international community has looked into the essence of the "America first" anatomically and made a correct conclusion about it. The "American first" gives the international community and the present times a suggestion of great significance. In conclusion, this means that one must be strong in order to defend oneself and that the promotion of self-development is just the truth and a powerful means for propelling the law-governed development of history. The DPRK, which has emerged as the strongest anti-imperialist and anti-U.S. fortress, is bolstering up its strength with tighter grip on the treasured nuclear sword of justice, the banner of independence. This is aimed at putting an end to the hateful invasion and plunder attempt by the empire of evil and at writing a new page in the world history aspiring after independence and multipolarization. Some countries are taking a hands-off approach towards the U.S. outrageous threat and blackmail as they have failed to build up their strength. So the U.S. is mercilessly violating their dignity and interests like their lives. This reality makes one understand once again the true meaning of the common proverb that a wolf must be tamed with a club only. History always stand on the side of justice, and justice and conscience are the main factors that prevented the history of complicated international relations from running off the correct track of its development, braving all sorts of trials and difficulties. The Yankees' logic of hegemony that everything in the world should be prey only for the U.S. and the anachronistic behavior of the impudent empire of evil, which imposes "the rules-based international order" on other countries, unhesitatingly neglecting the international law and international organizations for its exclusive interests, can no longer be allowed by the conscience of mankind aspiring after the era of independence, the new era of multipolarization. The evil forces obsessed with the frantic idea of destroying global peace and security and threatening the existence of human beings will not escape from a stern punishment by history. When the world progressives united by justice bolster up their strength and fully display it, the destruction of the Yankees' hegemonism will be further hastened. The more recklessly the present U.S. administration pursues the unilateral policy based on "America first" prioritizing the U.S. exclusive interests, the further the whole world's multi-polarization will be accelerated. This will lead to the total downfall of the U.S., the empire of evil, and imperialism.
Tree-planting Day Observed in DPRK Pyongyang, March 15 (KCNA) -- Many trees were planted across the DPRK on the occasion of the tree-planting day. Choe Ryong Hae, member of the Presidium of the Political Bureau of the C.C., Workers' Party of Korea, first vice-president of the State Affairs Commission of the DPRK and chairman of the Standing Committee of the Supreme People's Assembly (SPA), and officials of the SPA Standing Committee planted trees at the Songmun Revolutionary Site. Vice-Premier Kim Jong Gwan, officials of the construction headquarters of 50 000 flats in Pyongyang Municipality and military and civilian builders planted trees of good species in the Hwasong area. The children of Mangyongdae Revolutionary School and Kang Pan Sok Revolutionary School who went to the Hwasong area planted trees out of their patriotism. Officials of commissions, ministries and national agencies planted trees around the Grand Monument on Mansu Hill, the Central Botanical Garden, the Monument to Party Founding and other places.

Officials, working people, youth and students in North Phyongan, South Hwanghae, Kangwon and North Hamgyong provinces and Kaesong Municipality planted trees around the statues of the peerlessly great men, revolutionary sites, revolutionary battle sites and the cemetery of fallen soldiers of the Korean People's Army in their residential areas. Tree-planting was also conducted in the Rakwon County Offshore Farm on the east coast of the DPRK where a gigantic construction is underway thanks to the loving care of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un. Officials, working people, youth and students planted many trees at the fairyland villages and surrounding mountains in Songgan and Sijung counties of Jagang Province. Working people in South Phyongan and North Hwanghae provinces and Nampho Municipality worked heart and soul to create economic forests necessary for supplying raw materials to regional-industry factories. Officials, working people and inhabitants of different regions took part in the work to landscape their residential quarters with trees of good species and flower shrubs. Officials and employees of the tree nurseries across the country fully supplied saplings to ensure the successful tree-planting.
Press Statement of Spokesperson for DPRK Foreign Ministry Pyongyang, March 17 (KCNA) -- A spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea issued the following press statement titled "G7, the U.S.-led nuclear criminal group, should thoroughly abandon its anachronistic ambition for nuclear hegemony" on Sunday: At the G7 foreign minister meeting recently held in Canada, the U.S. and other Western countries perpetrated a political provocation talking about someone's "dismantlement of nukes", while pulling up the DPRK over its exercise of the just and legitimate sovereign rights. The Foreign Ministry of the DPRK expresses a serious concern over the fact that the member states of G7, the chief criminals wrecking the global peace and security and the international nuclear non-proliferation system, are taking issue with the possession of the just war deterrence of a sovereign state just like a guilty party filing the suit first, and clarifies that it will never tolerate any encroachment upon the sovereignty and internal affairs of the DPRK. Those countries which regard nuclear weapons as the main means for realizing their aggressive and hegemonic political and military purposes are the member states of the G7, and those countries which are hell-bent on illegal and malicious nuclear proliferation act under the pretext of "nuclear sharing" and "offer of extended deterrence" are none other than the member states of the G7. It is an irrefutable well-known fact that the U.S., the only state that used nuclear weapons in the world, is a typical nuclear threat entity that is bringing the crisis of nuclear conflict to the Korean peninsula, Europe and other parts of the world through unlimited nuclear arms buildup and reckless nuclear war drills and it is the biggest country of the world proliferating nuclear weapons. Britain, not content with its nuclear weapons, is openly attempting to introduce again the U.S. nukes into its country and taking the lead in transferring nuclear submarine technology to a non-nuclear weapons state, and the U.S. nukes have been deployed in Germany and Italy. Meanwhile, claiming "offering of nuclear umbrella" to western European counties, France is fostering another concerning possibility of nuclear proliferation in the region, and Japan has been provided with the U.S. "extended deterrence" including nuclear weapons, thus raising the relationship of security and cooperation with the U.S. to the one of nuclear alliance. All facts shows that G7 which consists of the U.S. and its vassal allies is, indeed, the root cause of the occurrence of global nuclear crisis and its aggravation and that G7 should start the "complete and irretrievable abandonment of nukes". G7, which has turned into a nuclear criminal group gravely threatening the global peace and security, should thoroughly abandon its anachronistic ambition for nuclear hegemony before talking about someone's "denuclearization" and "dismantlement of nukes". The DPRK's position of nuclear weapons state which has been fixed permanently by the supreme law of its state will not change according to the recognition of anyone, and the DPRK's nuclear armed forces will exist forever as a powerful means of justice which defends the sovereignty of the state, territorial integrity and fundamental interests, prevents a war in the Korean peninsula and Northeast Asia and guarantees a strategic stability of the world. The DPRK will steadily update and strengthen its nuclear armed forces both in quality and quantity in response to the nuclear threat from outside as stipulated in its Constitution and other domestic laws and reliably defend the peace and security of the state, the region and the rest of the world as the responsible nuclear weapons state.
