The contemporary history of Korea has proved the validity of independence, Songun and socialism, the article said, and went on:

The DPRK emerged and has developed on the basis of independence.

It has firmly maintained its steadfast line of independence even under the complicated international political situation in the periods of building a new society after the country's liberation, post-war rehabilitation and construction, late in the 20th century and recent years.

It is quite self-evident that the Korean people will invariably keep to the path as they have keenly realized through history that independence means dignity and victory.

The DPRK has won and demonstrated its dignity by dint of Songun.

The Korean People's Army has grown to be a matchless army which no army of any country can match in idea and faith and the DPRK has tremendous war deterrent.

It is a socialist state centered on the popular masses in the real sense of the word.

The popular masses fully exercise their rights as masters in all fabrics of social life in the DPRK, where politics of respecting and loving people and prioritizing their interests and convenience is in force.

The building of a thriving socialist nation, a highly civilized state, is making dynamic progress in the DPRK to translate the dreams and wishes of people into realities.

Independence, Songun and socialism are the path to be followed by the Korean people forever.
