Rodong Sinmun on DPRK's Foreign Policy

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

   Pyongyang, September 22 (KCNA) -- The DPRK will make every possible effort to ensure peace and security on the Korean Peninsula and the rest of Asia and the world, invariably regarding it as an important principle of its external activities to defend peace.
    Rodong Sinmun Saturday observes this in a signed article.
    It goes on:
    Ensuring peace on the Korean Peninsula is very important for keeping peace in the world at present.
    If a new war breaks out on the Korean Peninsula, the powers around it cannot but get involved in it whether they like it or not due to its military and strategic importance. In that case the fallout of the war may extend not only to the Asia-Pacific region but also to all other parts of the world.
    The Korean Peninsula is the region fraught with the greatest danger of war in the world. There is no legal and institutional mechanism for averting a war on the Korean Peninsula. The DPRK and the U.S. have been technically at war for several decades and it has reached a more dangerous phase due to the moves of the U.S. imperialists for war. The Korean Peninsula has become the primary target of the Japanese reactionaries' oversea aggression. The U. S. imperialists' means of nuclear strike are targeted on the DPRK round-the-clock and their nuclear war exercises are being escalated. In consequence, a nuclear war may break out on the peninsula any moment due to the moves of the U.S. imperialists.
    It is entirely thanks to the DPRK's peace-loving stand and its efforts to ensure peace that a war has not broken out in Korea and peace has been preserved there though the situation there remains so tense.
    The DPRK is striving hard to ensure durable peace in Korea, while frustrating all incessant moves of the imperialists for war, pursuant to its policy of giving importance to military affairs, the policy based on the philosophy on army that peace can be guaranteed with arms only, concludes the article.
