Pyongyang, August 6 (KCNA) -- Gagan Bista, chairman of the Nepali paper Chautari, contributed his travelogue on the DPRK under the title of "Socialist Policies of the DPRK" to the August issue of the organ of the Nepal Communist Party (United Marxist-Leninist.)

He wrote in his travelogue that the DPRK is achieving prosperity by dint of socialist political mode and policies, frustrating the sanctions of the imperialists. He went on:

President Kim Il Sung who achieved the independence of the country was the first to enforce socialist policies in the DPRK.

The U.S. and other hostile forces are escalating the military threat and economic sanctions against the DPRK while intensifying the smear and false propaganda against the DPRK to bring it down.

The people of the DPRK are, however, united as firm as a rock.

But for foreign interference and threat, the DPRK would have become a powerful and rich country.

The people of the DPRK are working hard for the prosperity and development of the country and achieving great successes under the banner of the Juche idea.

The DPRK is more powerful than what we have known.
