All Koreans Called upon to Hold Aloft Banner of Songun
Pyongyang, July 12 (KCNA)-- The Songun politics reflects the revolutionary will of the Workers' Party of Korea to bolster up the People's Army on the principle of attaching importance to the army and giving priority to military affairs and speed up the building of a great prosperous and powerful nation by projecting it as a main force for revolution and protect the dignity and interests of the nation and achieve the independent and peaceful reunification of the country. It serves as a great banner of independence and dignity and a powerful treasured sword for the victory of the revolution and a symbol of peace.

Rodong Sinmun Sunday says this in a signed article.

The reality clearly indicates that the sovereignty of a country remains unfazed and national dignity sheds more brilliant rays as long as there are for us the great Songun politics and the powerful revolutionary army of Mt. Paektu, its fruition, the article notes, and goes on:

The banner of Songun vigorously fluttering in the wind reflects the iron will of the WPK to realize the centuries-old desire of the Koreans for strong national power and thus reliably protect the country and the nation from foreign forces' aggression and challenge.

Under the banner of Songun the country's national power has grown strongest, it greeted a hay day of the greatest prosperity in the nation's history spanning 5,000 years and the dignity and pride of the Korean nation are being fully demonstrated to the whole world. It is thanks to the Songun politics that nobody can ever hurt the sovereignty and dignity of the Korean nation.

The above-said banner also represents the WPK's unshakable determination to realize the Koreans' desire for peace and reliably protect the security of the nation.

The Songun politics upheld by the DPRK serves as a patriotic shield for championing the peace on the peninsula and reliably defending the security of the nation.

It is thanks to the might of Songun that peace is preserved on the peninsula and the safety of all Koreans guaranteed. They enjoy peace and safety under the protection of Songun despite the desperate moves of the aggressor forces inside and outside south Korea to provoke a war.

The banner of Songun reflects the WPK's revolutionary will to achieve independent reunification without fail by the concerted efforts of the Koreans.

There will surely unfold a hope-filled future of national reunification and prosperity for all the Koreans in the north and the south and overseas when they turn out as one on the road of upholding Songun.
