Rodong Sinmun Calls for Defending World Peace and Security

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

   Pyongyang, January 3 (KCNA) -- No force on earth can stem the trend of history towards independence, says Rodong Sinmun Thursday in a signed article.
    It is the most urgent task of humankind to defend the peace and security of the world at present when the imperialist reactionary forces are increasing the danger of aggression and war, the article notes, and goes on:
    The struggle to protect peace and security on the Korean Peninsula is directly linked with the efforts to ensure world peace and security. Peace and security in Asia and the rest of the world would be unthinkable without the efforts to preserve peace and security on the Korean Peninsula.
    The struggle for defending global peace and security means, in essence, a struggle against imperialism. The imperialists are now steadily escalating the tension and stepping up the preparations for a new war in order to achieve their purposes of aggression, plunder and domination, gravely threatening and disturbing peace.
    The present times are an era when independence and justice are triumphing.
    The trend of independence is now sweeping all continents and all regions. An increasing number of people are calling for independence and many countries are taking the road of independence.
    Nobody wants to be subject to others and no nation is willing to allow others to interfere in its internal affairs and encroach upon its dignity.
    The main trend of the present era is characterized by Songun.
    The unique Songun politics of Kim Jong Il, an all-powerful treasured sword and an ever-victorious banner, is instilling redoubled strength and courage into the progressive people and dealing a heavy blow at the imperialist aggressive forces on the international arena.
    The Workers' Party of Korea and the people of the DPRK will make a positive contribution to victoriously advancing the human cause of peace, the cause of independence, holding high the banner of independence and Songun in the new year, too.
