In December 7, 1988 when he had a talk with the newly appointed ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary of the Republic of Central Africa to the DPRK, President Kim Il Sung explained wit
The President said that there are two ways before the countries liberated from the imperialist colonial rule; one is to maintain independence while receiving aids from the imperialists and the other is to build an independent national economy with their own efforts while mutually cooperating with the oppressed countries. He continued that complete independent sovereign states can be built only when all countries advance along the road of self-sustenance.
Saying that the DPRK builds one story by one story for a 50-story apartment instead of erecting it at one try and that the latter is more advisable than the former, the President introduced experiences gained by the DPRK in building socialism with its own strength.
