(North) Korean News: "Countries Advocating Independence Urged to Get Rid of Subservience to Foreign Forces"

Which countries are the ones "advocating independence" (besides North Korea)? Iran, Syria, and Cuba?

What the people of the countries advocating independence should bear in mind is they should discard the subservience to outside forces. Rodong Sinmun today observes this in a signed article.

Subservience and dependence upon foreign forces are prompted by an illusion and fear of foreign forces, the article notes, and goes on:

To read the faces of foreign forces and flatter and submit to them over the issue of protecting the sovereignty and interests of the country and the nation is like committing a suicide as it leads to death and national ruin.

Any attempt to solve problems in reliance upon the imperialists is little short of leaving one's own destiny to the tender mercy of the pack of fierce wolves. To yield to and depend upon foreign forces means abandoning one's independent rights and forgetting the position and awareness of being responsible for one's destiny. This will only lead to national ruin and enslavement.

What is important for getting rid of subservience and dependence on foreign forces is to see through the aggressive nature of the imperialists. Their aggressive and predatory nature can never change no matter how much water may flow under the bridge.

No matter how frantically the imperialists may escalate their pressure and blackmail against the above-said countries, they should neither yield to them nor discard their viewpoint and faith.

Countries and nations can protect their dignity and sovereignty and achieve social progress and prosperity only when they fight imperialism to a bitter end.

The spirit of independence serves as a tonic for the countries and the nations in their development whereas the idea of subservience and dependence on the foreign forces is as harmful as poison.
