Implementation of Line of Economic Construction Called for

KCNA

    Pyongyang, February 23 (KCNA) -- The Songun political mode firmly guarantees a sure victory in the ongoing general offensive to implement the line of economic construction in the Songun era. This is a unique revolutionary mode of leader Kim Jong Il and serves as an invincible weapon for the Korean revolution. Rodong Sinmun Monday says this in a signed article.
    Pushing forward the economic construction by the Songun political mode means putting forward the People's Army as a core and main force and carrying out economic construction by the concerted efforts of the army and people in the revolutionary soldier spirit and fighting trait, the article notes, and continues:
    The line of economic construction in the era of Songun calls for simultaneously developing light industry and agriculture while attaching priority to the development of national defence industry. This is a unique line of economic construction which makes it possible to significantly increase the state power with the military muscle as its core.
    It is the unshakable will of Kim Jong Il to carry out by the Songun political mode the line for economic construction of the Workers' Party of Korea which is based on the successes made in the efforts to implement the basic line of socialist economic construction set forth by President Kim Il Sung long ago and which has been carried forward and developed as required by the era of Songun. The WPK's Songun political mode and line of economic construction fully reflect the strongest anti-imperialist spirit for independence. Now the army and the people of the DPRK are firmly convinced that the Songun political mode serves as a powerful treasured sword to win victory in the revolution in the 21st century and a most effective mode to be fully applied by all fields of socialist construction including politics, military affairs, economy, culture and foreign affairs.
    The idea of carrying out the line of economic construction in this era by the Songun political mode is based on a correct viewpoint and stand on the main force of the revolution in the Songun era and precious experience gained in the course of the Songun revolution which has won one victory after another thanks to the might of the unity between the army and the people.
    The Korean revolution ushered in the 21st century, a century of creation and innovation, despite the stern test of history with the army playing the role of a pacesetter. This practical experience clearly proves that the Songun political mode is the most just and effective mode to implement to the letter the line of economic construction in our era.
