North Korea’s policies
Sir, — Your Tokyo correspondent’s speculation (September 18) that the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s neutral .hand between China and the Soviet Union may be changing does not seem to be backed by facts. On August 15, the thirty-third anniversary of the defeat of Japanese occupation forces by Soviet Armies. Kim II Sung cabled to Leonid Brezhnev of the U.S.S.R.: “Today the Korean people continue fighting to achieve the complete victory oi socialism in our country, frustrate the ‘two Koreas’ plot and new war provocations and accelerate the independent and peaceful reunification of the country. They set store by the friendly and co-operative relations with the fraternal Soviet people firmly established through the struggle against imperialism and for the cause of socialism and are convinced that these traditional relations will be further strengthened and developed in many, fields in the future.” — Yours, etc.,
W. ROSENBERG. Hon. Secretary, N.Z. D.P.R.K. Society. September 18, 1978.
