Invariable Foreign Policy of DPRK

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

   Pyongyang, January 12 (KCNA) -- The joint New Year editorial of Rodong Sinmun, Joson Inmingun and Chongnyon Jonwi clarified that the Workers' Party of Korea and the DPRK government will hold fast to the idea of independence, peace and friendship. Over the last years the DPRK, with independence as its life and soul, has viewed and decided all issues in an independent way and formulated and implemented its policies on its own way in accordance with its faith and discretion no matter what others say.
    The Korean-style socialist system established by the popular masses, under which they are shaping policies in accordance with their will and interests is the fruit of the independent politics, the Songun-based politics.
    It is the key principle of the DPRK government in its external activities to develop the friendly and cooperative relations with the world people who love peace and advocate independence.
    A tense situation in which a new war might break out owing to the sanction and blockade intensified by the U.S-led anti-peace forces under the pretext of "threat from the north" and their continued aggressive war exercises was created on the Korean Peninsula last year.
    But the prevention of a new war was entirely attributable to the DPRK's persevering peace-loving efforts and power of self-control.
    The DPRK is furthering the good-neighbor relationship with all the countries around the world on the principle of mutual respect based on independence. The DPRK government will remain faithful to the foreign policy idea-- independence, peace and friendship-- the validity and great vitality of which have been fully proved under the leadership of the great Kim Jong Il.
