Lifeline in Building Great Prosperous Powerful Nation

KCNA

    Pyongyang, October 15 (KCNA) -- It is thanks to the powerful defence industry that the Korean people are dynamically building a great prosperous powerful nation, unshaken in face of the vicious challenge of the imperialists and their moves to isolate and stifle the DPRK. Defence industry is the lifeline in building a great prosperous powerful nation. Rodong Sinmun today says this in a signed article, a summary of which reads:
    The strengthening of national power and building of a great prosperous powerful nation are unthinkable apart from the development of a powerful defence industry. Today when powerful and weak states are distinguished by their military strength, greatest efforts must be directed to strengthening defences in order to truly achieve the prosperity of the country.
    In the present times, military affairs are of top weight, defence industry is of primary importance and to develop it arises as a vital matter. Defence industry is the material foundation for increasing military strength and its practical potential.
    Defence industry is now the hardcore and leading industry as it represents the level of the development of heavy industry and its might in each country.
    The defence industry of the DPRK has developed into a powerful one capable of modernizing the whole army, arming all the people and turning the whole country into a fortress on a higher level by successfully manufacturing modern offensive and defensive means, powerful military hardware and combat technical equipment of our style.
    As the DPRK has invincible revolutionary armed forces and a powerful military deterrent thoroughly prepared politically and ideologically and in military technique, it is shattering at every step all the aggressive moves of the U.S. which poses itself the world's "only superpower" and defending the sovereignty, dignity and peace of the country.
    The army and the people of the DPRK will further develop defence industry, holding high the great banner of Songun, and thus increase the national power in every way and build a great prosperous powerful nation of Juche on this land.
