Rodong Sinmun on Idea of Foreign Policy

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, January 8 (KCNA) -- The army and people of the DPRK will continue to consistently embody the foreign policy based on the idea of independence, peace and friendship whose validity and invincible vitality have been fully proved under the wise leadership of Kim Jong Il, stresses Rodong Sinmun today in a signed article. Independence, peace and friendship are the fundamental idea of the foreign policy of the Workers' Party of Korea and the government of the DPRK, the article says, and continues:
    The WPK and the DPRK government will firmly hold fast to the idea of independence and embody it thoroughly.
    The DPRK is a dignified country which regards independence as life and soul. It is the main principle of activity of the Party and the government to think and judge all problems independently, act according to their faith and solve all the problems independently. The DPRK does not allow others to infringe on its sovereignty, interfere in its internal affairs and dominate and control it. It also resolutely rejects the violation of the sovereignty of other countries.
    The DPRK will as ever respect independence of other countries and resolutely oppose all sorts of attempts and moves to infringe on the sovereignty and interests of others and interfere in the internal affairs of others.
    The DPRK will always remain faithful to the idea of peace.
    It is making all efforts to frustrate the U.S. moves to isolate and stifle it, achieve peace and stability in the Korean Peninsula and defend the peace and security of Asia and the world in unity with all the peace-loving forces of the world. Its army and people will staunchly struggle to frustrate the U.S. imperialists' aggression and war moves and defend global peace and security under the banner of peace against war.
    It is the consistent policy of the WPK and the DPRK government to develop friendly and cooperative relations with all the countries that respect its sovereignty. The DPRK will develop relations of neighborly friendship with all the countries of the world on the basis of mutual respect for independence and strive to improve relationship with those countries which had been hostile toward it if they respect its sovereignty and give up their hostile policies.
