Rodong Sinmun on Songun Politics Propelling Reunification Movement

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

   Pyongyang, May 23 (KCNA) -- It is entirely thanks to the great Songun politics of patriotism that all the Koreans in the north and the south of Korea and overseas have been able to successfully blaze the path of the era of independent reunification under the banner of "By our nation itself" over the past seven years of the implementation of the June 15 joint declaration since its adoption, states Rodong Sinmun in an article Wednesday.
    The author of the article says:
    The Songun politics is mighty patriotic politics which firmly defends the sovereignty of the nation and the security of the country and guarantees the advance of the movement for independent reunification with the armed forces of justice.
    The sovereignty of the nation is guaranteed by mighty national power, which is immediately the might of the armed forces of justice. Now the hegemonic forces are openly seeking interference and domination, aggression and war against other countries and nations in the international arena, taking no notice of the United Nations and international law. This reality proves with hard facts that if a nation wants to defend its destiny, it must have powerful armed forces needed for this.
    The Songun politics is a treasured sword which has placed the DPRK in a position of a powerful state possessed of inexhaustible national power mighty enough to fight any formidable enemy in the world and enables it to firmly defend the dignity and sovereignty of the nation.
    The Songun politics is patriotic one to defend the dignity and interests of the Koreans not only in the north and the south but overseas and peace of the Korean Peninsula. It is only too clear that once a war breaks out in this land with one and the same vein the north and the south will suffer from it and a nuclear war would endanger the existence of the whole nation itself. But the security of the nation and peace of the country are safeguarded by matchless self-defensive military power of the DPRK built up with Songun and the Songun politics which deals a devastating blow to the aggressors infringing upon its dignity and sovereignty.
    All the fellow countrymen in the north and the south and overseas will turn out confidently with redoubled vigor in the noble struggle for the reunification of the country and the prosperity of the nation under the great banner of Songun, the article concludes.
