Pyongyang, December 29 (KCNA) -- The revolutionary people, all the countries and nations of the world should win in the cause of independence against imperialism by firmly struggling against it without the slightest concession and hesitation, says Rodong Sinmun today in a signed article. A concession to imperialists leads to eternal submission to them, which will deprive the nation and the country of their dignity and sovereignty, bringing humiliation, death, subordination and slavery to them, the paper says, and goes on:
The present situation proves the validity of our mode of countering the hard-line policy of the imperialists with the toughest stand.
It is the consistent stand of the DPRK Government to settle the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula in a peaceful way. The U.S., turning away from the DPRK proposal for concluding a non-aggression treaty between the DPRK and the U.S. and forcing the DPRK to scrap its "nuclear program first", stopped supplying heavy oil to it and has escalated a pressure offensive against it over nuclear issue. This situation compelled the DPRK to immediately start the work of removing seals and monitoring cameras on its frozen nuclear facilities for their normal operation to produce electricity.
The imperialist reactionaries are seriously mistaken if they think they would bring the Korean people who regard independence as their life and soul to their knees with pressure.
The further the imperialists are escalating pressure on the DPRK, the stronger countermeasure it will take in defence of the dignity of the nation and the sovereignty of the country.
We have the invincible army and people who are firmly prepared politically and ideologically and in military technique with the steadfast conviction that they are sure to win in the struggle against the U.S. imperialists.
Inevitable is the confrontation with the imperialists as long as they do not abandon the aggressive and predatory nature. So there is no other way than winning a victory by firmly struggling against the imperialists without the slightest concession and hesitation.
