Pyongyang, May 1 (KCNA) -- Papers here today dedicate editorials to May Day.
Rodong Sinmun says that may day this year is very meaningful as it is a day fully demonstrating to the world the revolutionary spirit and indomitable will of the Korean working class in the Songun era living and struggling, inspired by the idea and will of Kim Jong Il.
Their revolutionary spirit and militancy in the Songun era steered by Kim Jong Il are remarkably stronger than ever before, it notes, and goes on:
The Songun era is the times when the People's Army is dynamically pushing forward the socialist cause as a main force and a mainstay of the revolution.
In this era the working class, too, can perform their mission and role only when they deeply grasp the idea, spirit and moral traits of a revolutionary army.
The working class should protect the safety and authority of Kim Jong Il in every way and always take the lead in the struggle against all the enemies keen to hurt the headquarters of the revolution.
They should become standard-bearers and a shock brigade in implementing the line of economic construction in the Songun era which calls for giving priority to the development of the national defense industry.
They should more firmly maintain their working-class principle and anti-imperialist stand as required by the Songun era.
All the Koreans in the north, the south and overseas should make energetic endeavours to achieve independent national reunification by their concerted efforts in the spirit of the historic June 15 North-South Joint Declaration.
All the workers and other people of the DPRK should further strengthen the friendship and unity with the world revolutionary people aspiring after independence against imperialism.
They will as ever firmly unite with the world revolutionary people out to build a new independent world free from domination and subjugation and carry on their resolute struggle to protect national independence and sovereignty from the arbitrary and high-handed practices of the U.S. imperialists.
