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

   Pyongyang, October 29 (KCNA) -- The Democratic People's Republic of Korea will as ever boost its relations of friendship and cooperation and good neighborliness with all countries of the world which respect its sovereignty and are friendly toward it and make positive efforts to make the world democratic and independent.
    Rodong Sinmun Monday observes this in a signed article.
    It goes on:
    The DPRK has opened its diplomatic ties with different countries of the world one after another in recent years. This eventful development represents a great diplomatic success made by the DPRK and a powerful demonstration of the validity of its independent foreign policy.
    The achievements gained by the DPRK in its external relations constitute a positive contribution to the development of the situation on the Korean Peninsula and Asia-Pacific region and the rest of the world.
    Independence, peace and friendship are the avowed idea of the foreign policy of the Workers' Party of Korea and the DPRK government. The DPRK, guided by this idea, has developed the friendly and cooperative relations with different countries of the world advocating independence and consistently maintained the stand of developing good neighborly and friendly relations with the capitalist countries which respect its sovereignty and are friendly toward it.
    The independent, peace-loving and friendly foreign policy of the DPRK government and its activities are fully supported and welcomed by the world progressives advocating independence. It has become an irresistible trend of the times that the international interest in the DPRK is growing deep day by day and many countries wish to improve and develop their relations with the DPRK.
    Even those countries which had kept aloof from the DPRK are now developing their relations with it on good terms.
    All the great successes and progress made by the DPRK in the external relations are the shining fruition of the Songun politics, independent politics pursued by Kim Jong Il.
    It is the firm will of the DPRK to strictly abide by the generally accepted norms and principles governing the international relations and make sustained energetic endeavors to establish a new and fair international order and build a new world, independent, peaceful and friendly, concludes the article.
