Workers’ Party of North Korea Kim Jong-un

First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of North Korea Kim Jong-un came out with two speeches at the party's plenary session here on Sunday.

The session focused "on tasks the party faces in making a decisive turn in the process of accomplishing the Juche revolutionary course."

The party's strategic priorities will embrace "reconstruction of the economy as well as a qualitative and numeric strengthening of nuclear delivery forces for self-defence purposes," the North Korean leader said at the session after visiting the mausoleums of his father Kim Jong-il and grandfather Kim Il-sun in Kumsusun Palace. He was accompanied by members of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea and of the Central National Defence Commission.

North Korea "is not eager to use the nuclear weapons as goods for buying American dollars or as a bargaining tool for receiving humanitarian aid," he said.

"We can disrupt all the attempts of the United States to annex the Korean Peninsula only if we possess nuclear weapons" and have in mind the aim of "protecting our ideology, social system and all the socialist achievements, even the right of the nation to exist," said Kim Jong-un, who is also the first chairman of North Korea's State Defence Committee.

He paid special attention to "the maximum possible development of leading branches of the economy," including the consumer goods industry and agriculture, as a very important step in raising the population's living standards.

Kim Jong-un stressed the essential character of "developing the nuclear industry that relies upon the country's own resources."

The North Korean leader outlined development of space technologies as one more priority. "We need to launch the most upgraded satellites including communication ones," he said.

As a result of the outlined strategic course of the Workers' Party, North Korea will become "a great political, military and socialist-orientated economic power, a highly civilized country," he said. He promised to his fellow party members that the DPRK "as a responsible state having nuclear weapons in its possession will take every possible effort towards nuclear non-proliferation, towards maintaining peace and security in Asia and the whole world and will participate in the process of global denuclearization."

In addition to the course of the party, the plenary session focused on organizational issues and made changes in the membership of the Politburo Presidium.

The situation on the Korean Peninsula escalated after North Korea's satellite launch last December and its third nuclear test in February.

In response to these moves the UN Security Council adopted two resolutions expanding sanctions against Pyongyang. North Korea's Foreign Ministry said it would not recognize these "criminal" documents approved under the pressure of the United States as depriving North Korea of its right to self-defence and civilian space exploration.

Buried Treasures in Bohol Philippines

Written by Joe Espiritu       Four persons died in a treasure hunting accident last week. They died for nothing. Many had lost their shirts in the venture, the propensity for Filipinos to get rich quick attribute to the treasure hunting mania. The sad part is that only the ignorant venture on the search, those in the know, being sure that nothing will come out of the effort would not think of investing money, time and effort – this time lives – in a fruitless enterprise.        There had been stories of people getting rich uncovering treasure troves in unlikely places. Most stories are false. Ancient graves of archeological and anthropological value had been desecrated by treasure hunters. They had found nothing. Those people may have struck it rich but not from some hidden riches. Contrary to what other people say, there are no buried treasures in Bohol . If there had been, they were unearthed years ago.         If one ...

Detonators in Hebei, China

The death toll has risen to eight after Saturday's explosion triggered by detonators illegally manufactured and stored at a residential building in north China's Hebei Province, local authorities said Monday. Five more bodies were retrieved while rescuers were clearing the debris in the city of Baoding, the city government said in a statement late Monday. Another 27 people are still under treatment in hospital, it added. Two suspects, a 38-year-old man surnamed Ge and his 42-year-old girlfriend, turned themselves in to police Monday noon in the eastern province of Anhui. Ge and two relatives started producing detonators in 2009. Due to poor sales, the three stored unsold detonators at a house of the six-storey building in Dongwuyao Village. The explosion that occurred Saturday afternoon toppled part of the building and also shattered the glass windows of buildings 200 meters away.

U.S. economic data reacts to crude oil price

Crude prices rose on Thursday as U.S. economic data came in positive and continuing unrest in the Middle East caused supplies fears. Market sentiment was boosted after the Commerce Department said U.S. gross domestic product expanded at a 2.7 percent annual rate, much faster than 2.0 percent it estimated last month. It was the quickest quarterly growth rate since the fourth quarter of 2011, helped by faster inventory accumulation and export growth, which offset weak consumer spending and a drop in business investment. Meanwhile, a report from the Labor Department added to the upbeat tone. The report showed U.S. initial jobless claims declined 23,000 in the week ended Nov. 24 to 393,000, as effect of Hurricane Sandy faded. Pending home sales climbed 5.2 percent in October, surging to its highest level in more than five years, according to the National Association of Realtors. Traders were closely watching the situation in the Middle East, in particular the viole...
