Rodong Sinmun on Songun Politics

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

   Pyongyang, August 12 (KCNA) -- Songun politics serves as an invincible treasured sword for beating back the imperialists' aggression and war moves and demonstrating the dignity and honor of the Korean nation to the world and provides a sure guarantee for independent reunification and prosperity of the nation, says Rodong Sinmun Sunday in a signed article.
    It goes on:
    Songun politics serves as a banner of patriotism as it implants the consciousness of national independence, self-respect and national pride and honor into the minds of all Koreans and powerfully arouses them to the movement for independent reunification.
    It is thanks to the invincible Songun politics pursued by le Kim Jong Il that the DPRK has demonstrated the dignity and might of the nation, standing in confrontation with the U.S. imperialists styling themselves "the world's only super power," and firmly defended the peace of the country and security of the nation.
    It also serves as a treasured sword of patriotism as it unites all Koreans in the idea of "By our nation itself" irrespective of ideology, system, political view, religious belief, class and stratum to work for national reunification and prosperity.
    It promotes the interests of the whole nation and firmly guarantees the destiny and future of all Koreans.
    The patriotic nature of Songun politics finds a vivid manifestation in the fact that the historic Pyongyang meeting and the publication of the Juche 15 joint declaration put an end to the era of distrust and confrontation which lasted for over half a century and ushered in the era of independent reunification in which Koreans are advancing in the idea of "By our nation itself."
    It is reality today that even those who were once hostile to the fellow countrymen in the north are coming out to defend Songun after keenly realizing its patriotic nature and great vitality.
    The June 15 era of reunification is shining and the country has a bright prospect for prosperity thanks to the patriotic Songun politics as it helps check and frustrate outsiders' domination and interference in the Korean nation's issue of reunification and their persistent obstructions and firmly ensures the orbit of building a reunified country with arms of justice.
