Peace and stability are seriously jeopardized in different parts of the world and independent development of countries is seriously deterred by the imperialists' high-handedness, policy for hegemony and moves for aggression and war.

Peace never comes by itself. It can be achieved through the struggle against the imperialists only.

It is important matter in the struggle for defending peace to clearly understand the essence of the imperialists' cunning method of aggression and take the principled stand towards it.

The world progressives desirous of peace should not allow the aggression and interference by the imperialists but strongly counter them.

Bolstering a deterrent for self-defense is a sure guarantee for shattering the imperialists' war moves and championing peace. They do not dare provoke countries with powerful self-reliant defence capacity.

Unity is a key to victory in the struggle for peace.

Averting a war and maintaining peace on the Korean Peninsula is not a matter limited to this area. They are vital to preserving peace of the world.

A war has not broken out in the peninsula, world's hot spot, because the people of the DPRK have steadily worked hard to avert a war and maintain peace in the peninsula under the banner of peace in the whole course of the revolution and construction.

The Korean people will continue to conduct dynamic struggle for shattering the war policy of the imperialist aggression forces under the banner of peace to firmly defend sovereignty of the country and socialism and actively promote the victorious advance of human cause of peace.
