DPRK to Remain True to Idea of Independence, Peace and Friendship

KCNA

    Pyongyang, January 7 (KCNA) -- It is necessary for every country to foil the imperialists' moves for aggression and war, ensure lasting global peace and security and steadily improve friendly relations with other countries in order to build an independent and peaceful new world, says Rodong Sinmun Wednesday in a signed article. Noting that independence, peace and friendship are an avowed idea of the foreign policy of the Workers' Party of Korea and the DPRK government, the article says that this idea is a noble one common to humankind as it makes it possible for the world people to strengthen international solidarity and make a genuine contribution to accomplishing the global cause of independence.
    The DPRK strictly maintains independence in its external relations, among other things, the article says, and goes on:
    It is the basic principle observed by the DPRK in its activities to think and judge all problems from its independent stand and act according to its own faith and solve all the issues independently.
    It is an essential requirement proceeding from the true nature of the socialist system in the DPRK to realize the idea of peace.
    The DPRK has exerted positive efforts to foil the imperialists' anti-DPRK offensive in unity with all peace-loving forces, achieve peace and stability on the Korean peninsula and defend peace and security in Asia and other parts of the world.
    It is a consistent stand of the DPRK government to develop friendly relations with the world people advocating independence. It will improve good-neighborly and friendly relations with all the countries in the world on the principle of independence and international justice. It will also strive to improve relations with those countries that had been hostile toward it in the past if they respect the sovereignty of the DPRK and drop a wrong policy toward it.
