Rodong Sinmun on Self-supporting Economy
Pyongyang, May 12 (KCNA) -- It is an unflinching resolution of the Workers' Party of Korea to consolidate the foundation of the self-supporting national economy in every way by concentrating all efforts on the economic construction and thus build a powerful socialist country to be proud of in the world, says Rodong Sinmun on Tuesday in an article, and goes on:

Only by relying on a self-supporting economy, we can continuously strengthen the politico-military muscle of the country and increase its driving power to a great extent.

Economic independence is a basic guarantee for continuously and stably developing the national economy unaffected by any external factors.

Only a self-sufficient economy can provide a reliable guarantee for the existence and development of the state.

The trials and difficulties facing our country's economic development are severe now, but the might of our self-supporting economy will further be strengthened as our people regard national independence and national self-dependence as their lifeblood and self-reliance as their mode of existence.

Our Party orients all efforts to improving the people's standard of living, holding fast to the people-first principle as a matter of primary importance.

Our Party's determination to launch an offensive for making a breakthrough head-on is aimed to bring earlier a wealthy life to our people by increasing the independence of the national economy in every way.

The more we create valuable wealth by self-reliance and self-sufficiency, the greater advance will be achieved in improving the people's standard of living and the further the superiority of socialism over capitalism will be exalted.
