It goes on:

The history taught the truth that the people's aspiration and desire to live and develop independently could be realized only through an independent policy.

The DPRK fully supports the people of all countries in their just cause against imperialists' domination and subjugation.

The DPRK has advanced along the road of independence, Songun and socialism, encourageing the progressive people's struggle for global independence.

The Korean people value peace but will never allow the nation's dignity and the country's sovereignty to be infringed upon.

It is quite natural that the DPRK has done everything possible to ensure peace and security on the Korean Peninsula.

The DPRK has invariably adhered to the foreign policy to develop friendly relations with the world people.

The DPRK government considers the principle of mutual respect for other's sovereignty, non-interference in other's internal affairs, equality and mutual benefits as a basic principle of developing friendly and cooperative relations with other countries.

Steadfast are the stand and will of the Workers' Party of Korea and the DPRK government to consistently preserve the idea of its foreign policy -- independence, peace and friendship.

The DPRK will as ever remain true to the idea and positively contribute to the independent development of the world, the article concludes.
