Weakness in the standoff with imperialism will make it hard to defend the country and world peace, to say nothing of the destiny of the nation. This is a bitter lesson drawn from the past history.

Boldness, strong sense of national self-esteem, courage and wisdom of independent diplomacy all stem from the invincible army.

The DPRK has exercised its sovereignty against the formidable imperialist enemies under the present situation where the world political structure and relations are undergoing a great change. It is all thanks to its great Songun politics and strong military capabilities.

The Songun politics of the Workers' Party of Korea is aimed neither to threaten nor to invade others.

It is the DPRK's principled and just politics for defending independence against imperialism and safeguarding the nation in reliance on invincible army, the politics for defending the peace of the country and the destiny of the nation from the imperialists' moves for aggression.

The U.S. imperialists have often pushed the situation on the Korean Peninsula to the brink of war, but they have not ignited a war. It was not because they feared those countries concerned and world public criticism.

In order to meet their interests for aggression they invaded different countries with the armed forces in disregard of universally recognized international law and the will of those countries concerned. Such shameless imperialists have failed to ignite a war on the Korean Peninsula, an area of vital strategic interests to them, because of the DPRK's strong military capabilities.
