Rodong Sinmun Wednesday says this in a bylined article.

Powerful military might is a treasured sword for firmly defending socialism of Juche and glorifying it forever, notes the article, and goes on:

Strong arms will make it possible to defend socialism and achieve independent development of the country no matter what enemies may come in attack en masse and how many times the world may change.

Today Korean-style socialism is demonstrating its dignity and might thanks to the Songun leadership of the great Party. Countries and people aspiring after independence are now unanimous in saying that socialist Korea serves as a beacon of hope for progressive mankind as it has powerful capacities for national defence. This clearly proves the validity and vitality of the ideas of the Workers' Party of Korea on giving importance to the military affairs.

No one on earth can ever break the faith of the DPRK army and people who are resolved to turn the country, the homeland of Juche, President Kim Il Sung liberated and general secretary Kim Jong Il glorified into an invincible power, under the leadership of the dear respected Kim Jong Un.

The powerful military strength is behind the great army-people unity, source of constant victories of the DPRK, as well as leaping progress in building a thriving nation.

It is an unshakable will of the WPK to accomplish with arms the revolutionary cause of Juche started with arms, concludes the article.
