Rodong Sinmun Calls for Intensified Struggle for Peace against War

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

   Pyongyang, July 21 (KCNA) -- It is the urgent demand of the reality for all the world people aspiring after independence and peace to intensify the struggle against the moves of the imperialists for aggression and war.
    Rodong Sinmun Saturday says this in a signed article.
    It goes on:
    The struggle of the popular masses for peace against war precisely means a struggle to defend sovereignty.
    The world progressive people should not allow the imperialists to infringe upon their sovereignty even the least but strongly reject it.
    What is important in the struggle for peace against war at present is to direct the spearhead of attack to the U.S. imperialists.
    The U.S. is leaving no means untried to create military circumstances and conditions for realizing its wild ambition for world domination.
    In order to ensure global peace it is necessary to decisively frustrate the imperialists' military intervention and aggression being perpetrated under the signboard of the United Nations. All peace- keeping operations should be conducted on the principle of respect for sovereignty and non-interference in other's internal affairs in full line with the principles and objective of the UN Charter.
    It is a very urgent task to decisively shatter the "war on terrorism" of the U.S. imperialists in the on-going struggle for peace against war.
    What is important in the struggle for peace against war is to discard any illusion about the imperialists and heighten vigilance against "the establishment of a democratic order" and "defence of human rights" much touted by them.
    It is necessary to remain vigilant against the moves of the U.S. allies for aggression.
    The moves for overseas expansion of the Japanese militarist forces which have been revived with the backing of the U.S. as a dangerous force for aggression in Asia have reached an alarming phase. The Japanese reactionaries are sparking off a madcap arms race in Northeast Asia by putting spurs to the development of the missile defense system under the slogan of tightened Japan-U.S. military alliance. It is also important to pressurize and isolate those forces following the U.S. war policy so that they may not run amuck while escalating the anti-U.S. struggle.
    All the peace-loving countries and peoples should unite and boost their national defence capabilities to intensify the struggle for peace against war. The practical experience gained by the DPRK proves that a country can avert a war and defend its sovereignty and peace only when it attaches importance to the military affairs and augments capability for self-defence, concludes the article.
