Rodong Sinmun Calls for Development of South-South Cooperation
Pyongyang, May 31 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun Thursday says in an article that the socio-economic progress and development of the developing countries are markedly restrained under the outdated international economic order established by the imperialists for their interests.

The article goes on:

The way out to achieve the economic revival and national prosperity of the developing countries is to establish a new and fair international economic order after destroying the old and unequal one.

The best way is for the developing countries to expand and develop South-South cooperation.

The South-South cooperation is a genuine cooperative relationship among the developing countries as it is based on the shared desire to advance along the road of independence and self-reliance free from the neo-colonial domination and plunder by the imperialists.

To realize the South-South cooperation is an important way for each developing country to enhance its position and role as a sovereign state in the international arena.

Only when they achieve the economic independence through collective self-reliance, can the developing countries consolidate the already gained political independence and maintain sovereignty. And it is possible to provide the powerful self-defensive military capability to cope with the interference of foreign forces.

At present, South-South cooperation is going in a many-sided, wide-ranging and deep way.

It is the trend of the times that the South-South cooperation is conducted not spontaneously but purposefully and consciously through regional and continental organizations.

The developing countries have urgent interests in the South-South cooperation and are striving for its further development to carve out future jointly. This fully conforms with the trend of the times toward independence.
