Self-sustenance and self-determination means devising one’s way to live by one’s own determination and efforts without relying on others.

The DPRK’s history of socialist construction is the annals of self-existence and self-support in which it has defended the Juche character and overcome all difficulties by dint of self-reliance.

The Workers’ Party of Korea has solved all the problems arising in the revolution and construction independently and creatively in conformity with the Korean people’s will and to suit the actual conditions of the country.

As the Party rejected flunkeyism and dogmatism and carved an original path for socialist construction, departing from the established theories and existing mode, a socialist state was built on this land, the one which thoroughly applied the principles of independence in politics, self-sufficiency in the economy and self-reliance in national defence.
