It goes on:

What is important in the strategic option decisive of the destiny of the country and the nation is not to pin hope on structure of international relations or on other countries and regional and international organizations but to believe in their own strength and adhere to the principle of independence.

Now that the imperialists are becoming evermore undisguised in their moves to stifle the DPRK, it will more firmly stick to the Songun politics and line of simultaneously developing the two fronts.

No matter how the international situation may change and the structure of relations between neighboring countries may alter, the DPRK will not care about those matters.

The prevailing situation where the U.S. and its satellite forces have gone to extremes in their moves against the DPRK requires it to bolster up the army and national power in every way.

The Korean revolution has emerged victorious, relying on the strength of the people and adhering to the principle of independence. This history and the present international situation go to clearly prove how just and effective the Songun politics and the above-said line are.

No force on earth can block the strategic option of the DPRK.
