Nothing Can Block Advance of Global Cause of Independence: Rodong Sinmun
Pyongyang, December 23 (KCNA) -- This year has witnessed sharper conflict and confrontation among big powers for supremacy and ever more undisguised and arbitrary practices of the imperialists to reverse the global trend towards independence, but they failed to shift the main trend of the times towards independence, says Rodong Sinmun Sunday in an article.

Despite the complicated situation of this year, the trend towards independence has gained headway worldwide and developing countries have remained activated in their moves to resolutely counter the imperialists' unilateral high-handed and arbitrary practices with their concerted efforts, the article says, and goes on:

It was a development of great significance in building a new world of justice that the process of merger and integration has been drastically stepped up and the sense of autonomy and independence increased in different regions this year.

Many countries have strived to build a new and independent world of impartiality and equality by their concerted efforts, surmounting the existing domineering and unequal structural contradiction.

Many countries and peoples aspiring after independence disallow the hegemonic and high-handed policy of the imperialists.

The more undisguised the imperialists' strong-arm and arbitrary practices and interference in internal affairs of other countries, the stronger the international opposition to it.

The trend of the international situation this year proves that the aspiration and desire of mankind to live in a new and independent world grow stronger and nothing can block the trend of history towards independence.
