Rodong Sinmun Friday says in an article in this regard:

The DPRK's line of simultaneously developing the two fronts is crystal of the WPK's steadfast faith and will to finally conclude the confrontation with the U.S. by bolstering up the nuclear force for self-defence in every way which reflects the transparent idea of national independence and the Songun revolutionary leadership history of President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il and to build the best power and people's paradise on this land as early as possible.

The WPK laid down the above-said strategic line at a time when the U.S. imperialists and their followers were putting the political and military pressure unprecedented in the history upon the DPRK. This was something which no one could ever do.

In the last period, some countries attempted to develop nuclear weapons, but finally yielded to the collective pressure of the U.S. imperialists and powers in collusion with them. Those countries did so because of lack of courage and will.

Only the great WPK possessed of noble responsibility and rare insight into the eternal future of the country and the nation could make such a crucial decision for preserving the peace on the Korean peninsula and successfully put it into practice.

Steadfast are the faith and will of the service personnel and people of the DPRK to preserve peace and stability on the peninsula and build a world of justice by dint of nuclear deterrent for self-defence, the shield for peace and treasured sword for national independence, under the banner of the great line of simultaneously developing the two fronts.

This line whose vitality is being fully displayed with each passing day will always provide a sure guarantee for lasting peace, reunification and prosperity on this land.
