Strong power a sole guarantee for peace and national development

Growing public concern over the situation in the wake of the outbreak of the Gaza crisis in October last year turned into protest and denunciation.

Not only political and public figures but also heads of government of various countries spoke out against Israel’s growing rudeness, arrogance and unprecedented massacres of civilians, and the UNSC adopted a resolution demanding immediate cease-fire in the region, but the situation remains unchanged.

Rather, some members of international humanitarian organizations fell victim to the air raids by the Israeli army.

According to foreign media reports, more than 220 workers of the UN relief organization for Palestinian refugees were killed.

The reality clearly shows that one cannot defend oneself only by protest and denunciation and desire for peace.

Peace is guaranteed only by strong power.

This is also the truth proved by the history and reality of the DPRK, the world’s hottest spot, which has been exposed to constant nuclear threat by hostile forces for more than half a century.

In the 1950s the enemies, obsessed with a wild ambition to dominate the world, provoked a fierce war against the fledgling DPRK. They threatened the country with a new aggressive war when it finished rehabilitation from the war debris by tightening their belts. They stood in the way of the Korean people by imposing unprecedented sanctions and blockade when they made endeavours to develop the national economy.

Recently, the enemies deployed “three nuclear strategic assets” targeting the DPRK in and around the Korean peninsula to deliberately demonstrate their “superiority of strength” in the eyes of the world.

If the DPRK had not been powerful enough to cope with the enemies’ frantic military and strategic schemes, this land would have been subjected to the horrible disaster of war.

Today the law of jungle is sweeping the world more fiercely, and the danger of war is increasing day by day.

Over the past five years the enemies launched military actions against the DPRK, none of which was apart from the concept of nuclear weapons. Now their vassal countries are reaching a dangerous phase of sharing their nuclear weapons.

Moreover, the reckless expansion of the US-led military bloc system makes the DPRK realize once again that its preparedness should be more thorough and perfect.

The powerful force based on bolstering up nuclear war deterrents and steadily developing them is genuine peace and the absolute guarantee for the national development of the DPRK.
