Songun Politics Serves as Banner for Protecting National Sovereignty, Peace

Pyongyang, February 29 (KCNA) -- No force on earth can hold in check the dynamic advance of the DPRK to build a thriving socialist nation and achieve the independent and peaceful reunification of the country under the uplifted great banner of Songun.

Rodong Sinmun Wednesday says this in a bylined article.

It is thanks to the might of Songun that the DPRK has honorably defended the sovereignty of the country and national dignity, frustrating the moves of the U.S. and its followers to escalate the political and military confrontation, the article notes, and goes on:
