Rodong Sinmun on Strong National Defence Capability

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

   Pyongyang, January 25 (KCNA) -- Strong national defence capability is symbolic of the dignity of sovereign Songun Korea and a basic guarantee for prosperity. Rodong Sinmun Friday says this in a signed article.
    It goes on:
    The high dignity of the DPRK is undisputed as long as there is the powerful national defence capability which has grown remarkably in the course of the Songun revolution for several decades and demonstrated its invincible might on the forefront of the rigorous struggle against imperialism.
    The strong national defence capability of the DPRK provides it with a sure guarantee for fully exercising the national sovereignty.
    The history of the DPRK in which it has fully demonstrated its dignity and might as a bulwark of independence generation after generation is the course in which it has fully displayed its invincible military power. The strong military power has been the source of strength as it helped the DPRK resolutely defend its national sovereignty with strong pluck in the stand-off with the enemies and in foreign relations.
    The powerful national defence capability of the DPRK instills strong national self-respect and great pride and honor into the Korean people united close around the Republic.
    The Korean people always remain strong-willed and never allow anyone to hurt their national sovereignty as they have the invincible revolutionary armed forces. They are so strong in their national self-esteem that they never beg for peace no matter how dear it is to them nor follow what others do blindly. They feel proud that the Songun politics of the Workers' Party of Korea is the best and the unity between the army and the people is the strongest. This represents the self-respect and pride of the Korean people who have the powerful national defence capability.
    The DPRK's strong national defence capability also serves as powerful engine in achieving its economic prosperity.
    The DPRK is now displaying its might as a dignified country with powerful national defence capability as it is led by Kim Jong Il, Songun brilliant commander of Mt. Paektu.
