Display of strong national self-esteem called for
Pyongyang, February 4 (KCNA) -- The Korean people are a revolutionary and independent people strong in the nation-first spirit, says Rodong Sinmun today in a signed article. It goes on:The Korean people are sure to build a powerful socialist nation, reunified and prosperous, on this land by the efforts of the nation itself and demonstrate the dignity and honor of being Kim Il Sung's nation to the world. This is their strong national self-esteem.
It is the greatest honor of the Korean people that they live and struggle in the powerful country which has achieved the great single-hearted unity.
This unity means the unity of the people in the faith that they are ready to share the destiny with Kim Jong Il in difficulties and ordeals and their unity in the will to always remain true to their pledge made to him no matter how the world may change.
The Korean people have a particular attachment to the socialist system chosen and built by themselves in their own way. It has become a lifestyle of the Koreans to sing and dance to their own tune, follow their own style in dressing and give full play to the advantages of the national identity in linguistic and moral life and all other aspects of their social life.
The advantageous national tradition created throughout the history spanning 5,000 years is now in full bloom in all fabrics of social life. It is clearly indicative of the Korean people's strong national self-esteem.
