Dependence on others is a very dangerous virus which makes a nation mean and weak and lets a country go to ruin, the article notes, and goes on:

Now that the imperialists are getting more desperate in their moves to dominate other countries and nations and the world, if one tries to get benefit from outsiders while depending on them, instead of depending on his strength, it is as foolish an act as ruining oneself.

The countries aspiring to independence and progress should not depend on others but carve out their destiny independently and creatively in order to preserve their political independence and achieve economic prosperity.

Though one faces socio-economic difficulties and harsher pressure by the imperialist and hegemonic forces, one should think to advance, firmly believing in his strength. If one vacillates even a bit, one would not stand up again.

The experience of the DPRK which has emerged victorious without any failure in its line and frustration clearly proves that self-reliance is just an ever-victorious weapon.
