The DPRK is leading the anti-imperialist struggle of progressives as the fortress of independence, the article says, and goes on:

The spirit and principle of independence, which were established by President Kim Il Sung and invariably carried forward by general secretary Kim Jong Il, have become all the more steadfast in the world today that has turned into the theatre of highhanded and arbitrary practices of the imperialists, and the DPRK always stands in the van of the great struggle of the popular masses to defend sovereignty.

The DPRK as fortress of peace is making big contributions to frustrating the U.S. imperialist moves for aggression and defending world peace and security.

Experts on international issues view that if the U.S. makes a gun report on the Korean Peninsula, it would mean the start of the third world war and a great thermonuclear war in the world which will cause tremendous war disaster worldwide.

Now the world progressives desirous of independence and peace follow the Songun politics. This is the manifestation of the justice, scientific accuracy and vitality of the idea of the Workers' Party of Korea of attaching importance to the arms.

The DPRK's say and position have risen higher than before in the international arena.

Increasing on a daily basis is the number of those countries looking to improving and developing the relations with the DPRK.

Socialist Korea is making steady victorious progress, resolutely frustrating the frantic moves of the imperialists and the reactionaries to isolate and stifle the DPRK, and is dynamically pushing ahead with the building of a thriving nation. This picture of the DPRK hardens the confidence of the progressives in victory of socialism.
