Self-Reliance is Basic Principle of Revolution and Construction: Rodong Sinmun

Pyongyang, April 1 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun Monday says in an article that the ongoing general advance for opening a new road of advance for socialist construction is the great one of self-reliance for building the most powerful country on this land by dint of our own efforts, technology and natural resources.
Self-reliance is the fundamental principle to be firmly maintained in the revolutionary struggle and construction, notes the article, and goes on:
Though the atmosphere and condition of the revolutionary struggle may change along with the developing times and history, the principle of revolution that everything should be solved by one's own efforts remains unchanged.
The way of registering bigger success by accelerating the advance of the Korean revolution as planned and intended by the Party lies in holding more aloft the banner of self-reliance.
The popular masses should solve everything on the principle of self-reliance in a responsible manner to keep their position as the master of their destiny and adhere to their independent right and dignity.
Only when they solve all problems arising in the revolution and construction by their own efforts according to their own view and determination, can they defend their independent dignity and add shine to it.
Self-reliance means the life and dignity of the independent human being, and when we firmly keep up self-development as a weapon of certain victory, it is possible to guarantee the worthy life and honor of the people and happiness of all posterity to come. -0
