Pyongyang, November 28 (KCNA) -- "The road of defending independence is a road of patriotism."
This aphorism of General Secretary Kim Jong Il means that defense of independence is the only true way for the country and the nation.
Love of one's motherland and nation finds intensive manifestation in treasuring their independence.
The independence of the country and the nation is immediately Juche character and national character.
True love of one's motherland and nation lies in adhering firmly to Juche character and strictly preserving national character in the revolution and construction.
The DPRK is today displaying its dignity and might as an independent socialist state firmly maintaining Juche character and strictly preserving national character in the construction and activity of the state.
All these are a brilliant fruition of the sublime idea and leadership of President Kim Il Sung and General Secretary Kim Jong Il.
The President blazed the path of the independent development of the Korean revolution by founding the great immortal Juche idea and guided the people to consistently maintain the principle of Juche in the revolution and construction with his tested leadership.
Upholding the noble intention of the President, General Secretary Kim Jong Il put it forward as the fundamental principle in accomplishing the cause of socialism to hold fast to Juche character and national character and maintain the line of independence and fully embodied it, thereby building up the DPRK as the most prestigious and dignified independent state.
If one threw independence away, one could not evade the disgrace of a colonial slave and the existence and prosperity of the country and the nation are unthinkable apart from independence.
The Korean people will hold tighter the arms of Songun and demonstrate the dignity and might of the socialist motherland more forcefully under the Songun leadership of the Workers' Party of Korea.
