RS. Calls for Implementing This Year's Tasks under Uplifted Banner of Songun

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, January 2 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun Sunday editorially calls on all the party members and servicepersons of the Korean People's Army and people to enshrine the pride and honor of being the first generation who uphold the Songun politics of leader Kim Jong Il, peerless statesman who pursues Songun politics, and continue making a long journey of the revolution under the great Songun banner. It is a noble obligation and duty we should fulfill for the times, history and the future generation to bring into fuller bloom the true picture of the Songun politics, the powerful socialist political mode in our times, the editorial notes, and goes on:
    We should always enshrine the truth that the country and socialism remain strong and the victory of the cause of Juche is guaranteed thanks to Kim Jong Il who ushered in the new history of Songun politics and become human bombs and bullets who protect him at the cost of their lives. We should fully repose the absolute trust in the headquarters of the revolution and manifest stronger sense of revolutionary obligation towards it and protect the unity and cohesion of the revolutionary ranks based on the Juche-oriented Songun idea and line as our own eyeballs.
    We should glorify for all ages the revolutionary exploits, the tradition and treasures achieved by Kim Jong Il under the great banner of Songun as the eternal cornerstone of our revolution and the most precious treasure of the nation.
    The servicepersons of the Korean People's Army should always preserve the admirable fighting trait with which they devotedly defended the headquarters of the revolution during the "Arduous March" and bore the brunt of the struggle to glorify Korean-style socialism. We should increase in every way the might of self-reliant defence industry we have built up from scratch in the spirit of fortitude.
    All the party members and other working people should make the spirit of attaching importance to the army and military affairs prevail throughout the society and bring the traditional trait of army-people unity into fuller bloom.
    The editorial calls on the entire party and army and all the people to turn out as one to thoroughly implement the militant tasks set forth in the joint New Year editorial under the uplifted banner of Songun and glorify the 60th anniversary of the Workers' Party of Korea and the 60th anniversary of national liberation as grand festivals of proud victors.
