However, neither aggression nor challenge can browbeat the DPRK and nothing can undermine the firm will of the army and people of the DPRK to brilliantly accomplish the historic cause of building a nuclear force of the state while foiling the enemies' moves to provoke a nuclear war and sanctions and pressure racket with a firm hold on the line of simultaneously developing the economic construction and the building of a nuclear force, Rodong Sinmun says in an article Tuesday.

The article goes on:

The hostile forces are calculating that applying maximum pressure in military, economy and all other fields would make the DPRK kneel down, but they are seriously mistaken.

No matter how much the U.S. and its followers ratchet up pressure on the DPRK and how much the world may change, nothing can dampen the faith and will of the army and people of the DPRK to open up the way to victory with a firm hold on the independence line.

The vicious moves for a nuclear war on the part of the U.S. will further harden the will of the army and people of the DPRK to bolster the nuclear force for self-defence in every way and this will only result in speeding up the completion of the state nuclear force.

Remaining unchanged is the faith and will of the DPRK to maintain the line of simultaneously developing the two fronts and step up the socialist construction no matter how much the situation may change and what difficulties and trials they may face.
