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

   Pyongyang, June 23 (KCNA) -- The maintenance of independence on the part of each country and nation is essential to speeding up the cause of global independence and accomplishing it.
    Rodong Sinmun declares this in a signed article Saturday.
    The realization of independence of each country and nation will lead to the acceleration of the cause of global independence, and the further victorious advance of the above-said cause will help more reliably ensure their independence, the paper notes, and goes on:
    To hold fast to independence is a source of great might that makes it possible to realize unity and cooperation among countries and victoriously advance the human cause of independence.
    Each country or nation should develop the friendly and cooperative relations on the principles of equality and mutual respect, and it should neither infringe upon others' sovereignty nor allow others to violate its own sovereignty.
    The countries advocating independence should settle any difference of view between them through dialogues and negotiations on the principle of unity. They should never be deceived or involved into the imperialists' crafty plots to cause split, dissension and disputes.
    The people's struggle for independence represents justice, and it indicates the orientation of the development of history.
    The Korean people have firmly defended their ideology, system and socialism no matter how the international situation may change and despite manifold difficulties.
    If one advances the revolution and construction one's own way on one's principle no matter what others may say, one will emerge victorious, finding a way out but if one yields to the foreign forces' pressure or follow others, it would result in the ruin of revolution. This is the truth of history experienced by the Korean people in the course of the struggle for independence and socialism.
