Songun Politics, Most Powerful, Dignified and Independent One
Pyongyang, June 16 (KCNA) -- Today the Korean people are demonstrating their prestige in the international arena as an independent nation thanks to Songun politics.

Songun politics embodying the Juche idea is the most powerful, dignified and independent one which thoroughly defends the sovereignty and dignity of the country and the nation and reliably guarantees the promotion of the revolution and construction one's own way under any circumstances.

The politics gives foremost priority to the military affairs and to the building of a powerful defense capacity, thus making it possible to safeguard the sovereignty and dignity of the country and the nation most firmly.

One cannot protect the sovereignty and dignity of the country and the nation without a powerful military strength today when the imperialists are engrossed in strong-arm politics and high-handedness everywhere in the world in an attempt to realize their wild dream of world domination by their "policy of strength".

Having built a powerful defense capability under Songun politics, the Korean people are reliably defending their sovereignty and prestige from the anti-DPRK confrontation and incessant new war provocation moves of the bellicose forces which gravely jeopardize the sovereignty and territorial integrity, peace and security of the country.

Songun politics enables one to advance the revolution and construction in one's own way by remarkably increasing the internal force of the revolution with the revolutionary army as the main.

In order to solve all problems in accordance with one's independent idea and judgment, in reliance upon the strength of one's people and in suit with the interests of one's people and the actual conditions of the country under the grave situation in which the imperialists persist in threat, blackmail and appeasement, it is imperative to have a powerful internal force of the revolution.

The world history has witnessed not once or twice the facts that some countries, without their own firm internal force of revolution, fail to keep the principle and consistency while reading other's faces and make a mess of the revolution and construction in the long run.

Thanks to the strongest unity and cohesion of the leader, Party, army and people achieved under Songun politics, the Korean people have become able to carry on all the work in accordance with their determination and self-confidence without being restricted by anything, determinedly frustrating all manner of interference and pressure of the imperialist forces.

The Korean people regard it as due obligation and pride to defend and follow Songun politics, the invincible might.
