South-South Cooperation Called for
Pyongyang, June 4 (KCNA) -- Developing countries should expand and develop the South-South cooperation. This is an effective way of foiling the moves of the imperialists to plunder, subjugate and pressurize those countries, weathering their economic difficulties and successfully building an independent new society, says Rodong Sinmun Friday in a signed article.

It goes on:

Developing countries have keen interest in establishing a new international economic order for the commonness in their position and aspiration as they suffered under the colonial rule of the imperialists in the past.

If the South-South cooperation makes good progress, it will help create an environment favorable for disabling the unfair and old international economic order and building a new fair international economic order.

They have favorable conditions and possibilities for comprehensively expanding and developing the South-South cooperation. They have huge manpower resources and rich natural resources. And they have not a little good experience and technology exchangeable. These serve as a precious asset for comprehensively expanding and developing the South-South cooperation.

What is important is for developing countries to regard the South-South cooperation as a vital requirement and a common task and buckle down to conducting it.

What is essential for expanding and developing the South-South cooperation and establishing the South-South economic relations is to strengthen the regional cooperation and unity.

The South-South cooperation is based on the common objective and interests of developing countries as they are keen to achieve economic independence and build an independent new society, filling each other's needs and helping each other. It, therefore, allows no exploitation, plunder, domination and subjugation.

If developing countries closely unite and make concerted efforts politically, closely cooperating with one another economically and technologically on the principle of collective self-reliance, the South-South cooperation will display even greater vitality.
