NORTH KOREA THIS WEEK NO. 463 (Aug. 23, 2007)
*** PYONGYANG'S RHETORIC
Report on Postponement of Pyongyang Visit by President Roh Moo-hyun (KCNA/ Aug. 18, 2007)
The North side sent a telephone message on Aug. 18 to the South side in connection with the postponement of the Pyongyang visit by President Roh Moo-hyun slated to take place late in August due to the flood which hit areas of the North side recently, causing huge damage.
In the message the North side referred to the fact that torrential rain hit most of its areas every day, causing great damage, and this made it top priority to recover from the flood damage and make the living of the people in the afflicted areas return to normal and, accordingly, proposed to the South side that President Roh Moo-hyun's Pyongyang visit take place early in October by unavoidably postponing it at least one month in connection with the above said flood that struck those areas all of a sudden.
The South side expressed profound sympathy with the flood damage that struck areas of the North side and expressed understanding of the above-said proposal and consented to it.
Roh Moo-hyun will visit Pyongyang from Oct. 2 to 4, 2007 under the agreement reached between both sides.

Songun Politics for Defending Human Cause of Independence (Rodong Sinmun, KCNA/ Aug. 20, 2007)
Songun (military-first) politics is the fundamental guarantee for the independence of the country and the nation and the most powerful weapon for successfully promoting the human cause of independence.
Songun politics is an invulnerable political mode. The invincibility of Songun politics has been unequivocally displayed in the reality of the DPRK (North Korea).
The (North) Korean revolution was pioneered and has won victories on the orbit of Songun from the early days and it is advancing along the road of Songun today.
No one dare provoke the DPRK advancing under the uplifted banner of Songun. It is because the DPRK pursues Songun politics that it does not waver under any circumstance.
No matter what anyone may say, the DPRK is accelerating the triumphant advance of the revolutionary cause of Juche, the cause of building a great prosperous powerful socialist nation through Songun politics.
The practical experience of the (North) Korean people and the historical review of the (North) Korean revolution show that Songun politics is the life and the future of the country and the nation and that the advance under the uplifted banner of Songun is a sure guarantee for winning the victory of the popular masses' cause of independence in any storm and stress of history.
A bright future is in store for the (North) Korean revolution and the human cause of independence as Kim Jong-il is leading the (North) Korean people to victory and powerfully promoting the world revolution with his outstanding Songun revolutionary leadership.
