Rodong Sinmun on Foreign Policy of DPRK

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

   Pyongyang, January 7 (KCNA) -- It is the invariable stand of the Workers' Party of Korea and the government of the DPRK to consistently embody the idea of the foreign policy -- independence, peace and friendship, observes Rodong Sinmun today in a signed article.
    Independence, peace and friendship represent the basic idea of the foreign policy of the WPK and the government of the DPRK, the article notes, and goes on:
    The idea of their independent foreign policy most fully meets the intrinsic wishes of the human beings to live and develop independently.
    Without an independent stand, people cannot properly advance the revolution and construction and achieve final victory.
    The DPRK never allows anyone to infringe upon its sovereignty, meddle in its internal affairs, dominate and control it. It is opposed to any act of violating the sovereignty of any other country.
    It estimates and handles anything arising in the relations with other countries and all other issues with independence as a yardstick and resolutely struggles against the infringement upon independence.
    The above-said idea of the peace-loving foreign policy represents the desire of the people to live in a peaceful world free from war.
    People can successfully promote national prosperity and the building of an independent new society only in a peaceful environment.
    Peace cannot be achieved by the effort of an individual country and people alone.
    Mankind's desire for peace can come true only when the peace-loving progressive people get united and wage a dynamic struggle for defending peace from war.
    The above-mentioned idea of the foreign policy presupposes boosting the friendly and cooperative ties with all countries and people of the world.
    It is the avowed foreign policy of the DPRK to develop the friendly and cooperative relations with all the countries of the world advocating independence.
    The DPRK will make every effort to establish sound international relations and order as a member of the international community.
