Rodong Sinmun Thursday says this in a bylined article.

The cause of global independence is carried out by the involvement and role of all political forces and other forces struggling for independence, peace and socialism, the article notes, and goes on:

The socialist forces are the backbone of the anti-imperialist independent forces in the world. They are standing firm against imperialism and all reactionary forces. They are contributing to accomplishing the human cause of independence and peace through their struggle for independence against imperialism. The DPRK is holding high the banner of struggle against the imperialist hegemonic forces.

The banner of socialism is fluttering in Asia, and Venezuela and other countries in Latin America are emerging new anti-imperialist independent forces aspiring after socialism. African countries, too, are aspiring after socialism.

The non-aligned movement is powerful anti-imperialist independent forces in the present era.

The NAM, which has developed into the broadest international movement grouping huge population and 120 countries of the world, dramatically changed the balance of forces between progress and reaction and put strong spurs to the process of global independence. The NAM could grow to be powerful forces energetically pushing forward the era of independence as it has preserved and developed the tradition of unity.

The might of the anti-imperialist independent forces of the world lies in the developing countries. They have tremendous economic potentials and account for more than 70 percent of the world's population.

They have huge scientific and technological forces.

Their might finds its vivid expression in that they are positively pushing forward regional integration and the multipolarization of the world through economic cooperation bodies.

Their rapid economic development in the new century draws international attention.

The anti-imperialist independent forces in the world grew stronger in their might in the new century, far from becoming weak. They are incomparably stronger than the imperialist hegemonic forces.

No force on earth can prevent the anti-imperialist independent forces from dynamically advancing towards the global independence.
