Boosting International Unity and Cooperation Urged

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

   Pyongyang, March 9 (KCNA) -- Boosting international unity and cooperation arises as an important requirement in upholding Juche character and national identity, declares Rodong Sinmun in an article Friday.
    Stressing that international unity and cooperation should strictly be based on the principle of independence, the author of the article goes on:
    Only when the countries and peoples aspiring after independence support and closely cooperate with each other can each country defend the national independence and sovereignty and achieve the independent development of the nation and common prosperity.
    The countries and peoples opposed to the imperialists' policy of aggression and war, neo-colonial domination and subjugation have common aim and interests in their struggle. The imperialist forces cannot dare run wild, if the anti-imperialist, independent countries unite and support each other in the common struggle against imperialism.
    South-South cooperation should be expanded on the principle of collective self-reliance. If the developing countries aspiring after independence develop this cooperation, they can frustrate the "globalization" maneuvers of the imperialists and successfully build an independent national economy without depending upon them. And they can improve their material and cultural life in a creative way to meet the desire and demand of their people.
    The democratization of the international community is an important requirement in guaranteeing the Juche character and national identity of each country. This can never be realized apart from international unity and cooperation.
    The only way of barring the imperialist forces from freely manipulating international organizations including the United Nations and of resolving all the international issues on democratic principles is for the countries aspiring after independence to boost international unity and cooperation.
    Independence, peace and friendship are the idea of the foreign policy of the Workers' Party of Korea. The WPK and the DPRK people are strengthening unity and cooperation with the peoples of all the countries worldwide aspiring after independence on the basis of this idea and are making strenuous efforts to establish fair international relations and order.
    The DPRK will fulfill its international duty and mission for the era in the implementation of the common cause of adhering to the Juche character and national identity of the countries and nations and realizing global independence by energetically striving to boost unity and cooperation with the progressive people of the world and democratize the international community.
