National Self-Respect Is Life and Foundation for Building Powerful Country

Only when the self-respect of the nation is firmly preserved, will it be possible to fully demonstrate the dignity, glory and advantages of the country and the nation and achieve steady prosperity in all the fields of politics, economy, military and culture.

A decisive key to the victory in the struggle to glorify the dignity and glory of the country and the nation lies in the ideological strength of the whole nation and the spirit of self-respect of the nation, not the foundation of materials and natural resources.

Self-respect of the nation is a sure guarantee for independent development of the country.

Upholding the banner of the self-reliance is a firm guarantee for glorifying the dignity and glory of the nation and achieving steady and rapid development of the state.

Dependence on outside forces will lead to slavery and national ruin, but self-respect of the nation is a shortcut to the prosperity of the country.

The spirit of uninterrupted innovations and progress while winning greater victory, and the strong will to achieve overall development in all the fields and outpace the world-- this represents the self-respect of the nation.

When we fully display the Korean-nation-first spirit, we can ceaselessly create our things to be proud of in the world and build a prosperous ideal society of the people as early as possible.

We should fully display to the whole world the dignity and spirit of Juche Korea in the on-going general advance by fully applying the Korean-nation-first spirit to every field.
