Unity of World Progressive Peoples Called for
Pyongyang, May 1 (KCNA) -- The world progressive peoples should resolutely shatter the moves of the imperialists for aggression and war and dynamically push ahead with the triumphant advance of the human cause of independence in firm unity under the banner of independence against imperialism, the banner of defending peace, cherishing the truth of history that if they are united, they are strong and if they are divided, they are weak. Rodong Sinmun Friday observes this in a signed article.

It goes on:

It is a very urgent and important issue at present for the world people advocating independence to firmly unite in their struggle as the imperialists are challenging the cause of global independence in league with one another.

What is important in strengthening unity and solidarity among the anti-imperialist independent forces is to adhere to independence. The unity of these forces serves as the source of the invincible strength and a decisive factor of victory in the struggle to realize global independence.

It is important to adhere to the principled stand toward imperialism in realizing this unity.

The imperialists are constantly increasing their armed forces for aggression and ceaselessly escalating the war of aggression against the progressive countries by force of arms, swimming against the trend of the times toward independence and peace.

If the world progressive forces are to get united and successfully struggle against imperialist and hegemonic forces, they should firmly cultivate their military strength.

The world progressive peoples should firmly unite and deal a heavy blow at the imperialists' desperate moves, holding higher the banner of unity.

Today the international reactionary forces do not dare provoke the DPRK, though they are making desperate efforts against it. This is because it has the weapon of single-minded unity which can not be seen in the world.
