Intensified Worldwide Struggle for Independence Urged

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)

    Pyongyang, January 31 (KCNA) -- It is a primary task for building an independent new world to protect independence. Rodong Sinmun today says this in a signed article. It goes on:
    It is one of the important issues in protecting independence to respect the ideology and system, national tradition and culture of each country. The countries struggling for independence are in the relationship of supporting and cooperating with each other in the struggle for peace against aggression and war. It is necessary, therefore, to seek a negotiated settlement of differences and disputes among them and not to allow the imperialists to perpetrate military intervention and aggression against sovereign states under any circumstances. Differences and disputes among developing countries are the issues to be solved among those countries in the course of advancing hand in hand to achieve their common goals and, therefore, they should not allow any fight among themselves or invite foreign forces to intervene in them.
    It is a most vivid expression of independence to defend and consolidate the Juche character and national character. Only by doing so, is it possible to achieve and defend the independence of the popular masses and realize the independent development and prosperity of the nation. For a country and nation it is a main lever for exercising sovereignty to pursue an independent policy in the external relations.
    All countries and peoples should wage an uncompromising struggle against any infringement upon their independence. One should neither take a fence-sitting attitude towards any aggression against any other country for the mere reason that it is not against one's own country nor support the imperialists in this practice.
    Defending independence serves as a common slogan of struggle every country should hold aloft in the new century and a guarantee for its independent development.
    The Korean people will as ever wage a dynamic struggle to defend independence in the international arena under the banner of Songun, the banner of independence, the article concludes.
