New Year editorials Since 1996,
Rodong Sinmun, the
Korean Central News Agency,
Minju Joson, and
Joson Inmingun has published a joint New Year editorial that outlines the country's policies for the year. The editorials usually offer praise for the
Songun policy, the government and leadership, and encourage the growth of the nation. They are also critical of the policies of South Korea,
Japan, the
United States,
Israel and Western governments towards North Korea and/or its allies. On 1 January 2006, the agency sent out a joint-editorial from North Korea's state newspapers calling for the withdrawal of
American forces from South Korea. The editorial made several references to
Korean reunification. The 2009 editorial received similar attention, as criticism of United States policy was absent, and the admission of severe economic problems in North Korea. The editorial also made reference to denuclearisation on the
Korean Peninsula, in what analysts claimed was a "hopeful" sign. This was echoed again in its 2010 editorial, which called for an end to hostilities with the United States and a nuclear free Korean Peninsula. The 2011 joint editorial edition, In June 2018,
Rodong Sinmun devoted a four-page feature to the
North Korea–United States summit, welcoming its results. The article carried the text of the declaration in full. In addition, it mentioned security guarantees and
Donald Trump's pledge to cease the
joint military exercises with South Korea, and failed to mention the promise Kim had allegedly made to Trump about closing down a test site for missile engines. ==See also==
