Firm Adherence to Stand of National Independence Called for

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

   Pyongyang, May 12 (KCNA) -- The present era calls for settling all issues from an independent and patriotic stand while giving overriding importance to the country and the nation.
    Rodong Sinmun Monday says this in a signed article.
    Such practices as putting foreign forces above the nation and regarding cooperation with foreign forces more important than that with fellow countrymen are being reported from south Korea quite contrary to the trend of the times, the article notes, and goes on:
    The Koreans have not yet established national sovereignty throughout Korea due to the U.S. colonial enslavement policy toward south Korea and its moves to keep south Korea as its military base and the sycophantic and traitorous politics and the policy of depending on outside forces pursued by the successive south Korean ruling forces, its lackeys.
    In order to establish national sovereignty throughout Korea and fully exalt the dignity and honor of the nation it is necessary for it to hold high the banner of national independence.
    The Lee Myung Bak regime is openly putting the issue of national independence on the back-burner and pursuing sycophancy and dependence on foreign forces while talking about "lost decade" and "recovery".
    Upon coming to power, the new conservative ruling forces begged the U.S. to cancel its plan to cut down the troops in south Korea, offering to pay more funds for their upkeep.
    The "pragmatic government's" opening of the south Korean market to American beef is the most vivid expression of its sycophantic and traitorous policy as it is an intolerable act of selling off the dignity and interests of the south Korean people to bring profits to Americans.
    The Lee regime had better give up the above-said anachronistic view and stand, though belatedly, as demanded by the south Korean people.
