To thoroughly depend on one's own technology and force is a fundamental principle to be consistently maintained in economic construction, the article says and goes on:

When a country depends on its people's tremendous strength, it can achieve rapid and constant development.

Tremendous is the creative power of our people who are striving to bring earlier the bright morrow with their hearts burning with ardent aspiration and desire to build the most powerful country, keeping their feet firmly planted on their land and looking out over the world.

When depending on the people's strength and wisdom, we can bring about new development and prosperity by dint of self-reliance and build a powerful socialist nation as we want.

It is a philosophical principle taught by history.

To strictly depend on our own raw and other materials is an important principle to be maintained in economic construction.

To do so is also the core issue in ensuring independence and Juche character in the national economy.

The economy managed with domestic equipment, raw and other materials is the true self-supporting national economy we are building.

Self-reliance is the strategic line our state and people should hold fast to forever.

We have no option but to depend on self-reliance as we grew up, learning the history of self-reliance under the care of the great Party, and have overcome all sorts of trials by dint of self-reliance.
