To ensure the rights of children is one of the most important matters related to the development of each country and nation and the future of mankind.

The present situation being created on the globe is so against common sense.

As recognized by the world, the Gaza Strip of Palestine has been reduced into a "tomb of children".

Many countries are bitterly denouncing Israel, but this is not enough to stop the bloodshed in the Gaza Strip.

A country should have strong military power to defend the destiny of its children from the imperialists' moves. It is the law of the world that if a country fails to have enough military strength capable of defending itself, it cannot but be pressurized by the imperialists' military threat and be forced to suffer misfortune and, furthermore, even the existence of its state, people and children cannot be maintained.

This is more important under the situation where the imperialists, the permanent source of war and the main force of aggression and war, remain on the globe and their moves are getting more vicious.

The DPRK has proved in practice that the dignity and sovereignty of the state and happiness of its people and the future of its children can be guaranteed only when it has self-defensive capability enough to overwhelm any foe.

By further strengthening its defence capabilities, the DPRK clearly showed the U.S.-led imperialists how it defends the laughter of its children and its socialist system.

It is necessary to be strong even for the posterity. First of all, we have to become strong. Only then we can more certainly protect the safety of our country and people and the rosy future of our children by dint of further increased strength and perfected strategic force. This is the firm will and faith of our people.
