Rodong Sinmun Calls for Intensified Struggle for Sovereignty

Pyongyang, November 13 (KCNA) -- Sovereignty is the inviolable right of all countries and nations to independently live and act, says Rodong Sinmun Sunday in a bylined article.

It is, in essence, the rights of each country and nation to adopt their line and policy in keeping with their own people's interests and their specific conditions and independently solve any problem by the efforts of their own people, the article says, and goes on:

Exercise of sovereignty can be realized only through struggle.

What is most important here is to intensify the struggle against imperialism.

The imperialists try to block the road toward global independence. All the progressives should wage an uncompromising struggle with the imperialists to reliably defend sovereignty of their countries and nations under the uplifted banner of independence.

It is also necessary to develop self-supporting national economy.

Independence of each country and nation can be realized only when it is based on the self-supporting national economy. If not, any country will have to read other's face whenever it adopts a policy and curry with other in its foreign activities.

It is particularly important to bolster self-reliant defense capability.

Self-defense is a sovereign right of each country and nation. Strong national defenses help keep independence, but if a nation is weak in defense capability, it would fall prey and slave to the aggression forces.

Without strong self-reliant military power is it not possible to win in the struggle against imperialism nor defend country and nation nor protect security of people. This is the stark reality at present.

The DPRK will invariably pursue the Songun politics, the independent politics and strive to establish sound international relations and achieve world peace and victory in the cause of global independence. -0-
