Once determined, it fights and wins without fail. It charges at the enemies like an angry lion and annihilates them at one stroke. Our revolutionary army will never pardon any provocateur wherever he may be. In case the enemies unleash war, our army will strike and wipe out the U.S. aggression forces before anyone else and uproot the source of war on the Korean Peninsula.\r\n There is no change in the consistent position of our party and the DPRK government to reunify the country through confederacy based on one nation, one state, two systems and two governments on the principles of independence, peaceful reunification and great national unity.\r\n The international situation is still complex, but our party's foreign policy remains unchanged.\r\n Come what may, our party and people will invariably hold fast to the position of anti-imperialism and independence and defend the banner of socialism to the last. \r\n \r\n"
