Rodong Sinmun calls for defending peace
KCNA
Pyongyang, May 27 (KCNA) -- The Korean people love peace more than anyone else and the DPRK is a peace-loving state which identifies peace with the basic idea of its foreign policy, says Rodong Sinmun today in a signed article. It goes on:
Korean-style socialism, by nature, stands for peace and the Korean people's building of a great prosperous socialist power requires a peaceful environment.
The peace they want is not peace to be brought by servile submission.
They ardently love peace and do not want war but if anyone dares invade and conquer their country, they will exercise sovereignty and strongly retaliate against the enemy by force.
Peace is guaranteed by an army.
Peace is the desire common to humankind and intrinsically needed by the people advocating independence. Peace, the idea of the DPRK's foreign policy, fully represents the desire of humankind.
The present grave international situation requires humankind to hold higher the banner of peace. As shown by the U.S. Iraqi war, actions speak louder than words.
It is impossible to meet the imperialists' blatant challenge, avert a war and defend sovereignty and peace of a country and a nation unless a powerful physical deterrent force is built. This a serious lesson drawn from the Iraqi war.
Peace on the Korean Peninsula is in peril due to the intensified moves of the U.S. imperialists to stifle the DPRK. It will consolidate its defences as an iron-wall to protect its sovereignty and peace from their aggression.
