Rodong Sinmun on WPK's Songun Politics

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

   Pyongyang, May 2 (KCNA) -- The Songun politics of the Workers' Party of Korea is a noble patriotic politics that helps defend the sovereignty and the dignity of the nation with arms of justice and guarantees the independent reunification of the country, says Rodong Sinmun in a signed article today.
    Saying that the Songun politics is politics of national independence that defends the dignity and the sovereignty of the nation, the article goes on:
    The WPK's Songun politics guarantees the exercise of the nation's sovereign rights in accomplishing the cause of Korea's reunification with the military strength. It rejects outsiders' involvement and interference in this cause and helps the nation solve the reunification problem in accordance with its own will and interests.
    The politics helps the Koreans in the north and the south and abroad have heightened awareness of national independence and pride and dynamically advance along the road of reunification and patriotism. It provides a sure guarantee for solving the problem of Korea's reunification for the establishment of the national sovereignty in it as a whole on the principle of national independence by the Koreans themselves. Herein lies one of reasons why the WPK's Songun politics becomes a patriotic one.
    This politics is also a politics for peace that helps prevent a danger of war on the Korean Peninsula and reliably protect the security of the Korean nation.
    It is a treasured sword of peace as it helps contain the U.S. imperialists' ever-more undisguised moves for a new war with deterrent for self-defence and create atmosphere favorable for national reunification.
    The invincible revolutionary armed forces of the DPRK under the Songun leadership of Kim Jong Il, illustrious commander of Mt. Paektu, protect not only the DPRK from the imperialists' aggression but defend south Korea.
    It is the unshakable stand and consistent policy of the WPK to embrace all Koreans loving the country and the nation and get them united irrespective of ideology, system, class and strata to achieve the reunification of the country, the cherished desire of the nation. The Songun politics is one of great national unity as it rallies all the Koreans closer under the banner of patriotism and national reunification.
