Significant Landmark for Turn in Socialist Rural Construction

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, January 20 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun today dedicates an article to the 30th anniversary of leader Kim Jong Il's famous work "On Enhancing the Role of Party Organizations in the Drive to Implement Socialist Rural Theses". The work, published on Jan. 20, Juche 64 (1975), gives a flawless exposition of the importance of the solution of the rural question in socialist construction and matters of principle arising in improving and strengthening the Party's guidance of the rural economy.
    Stressing that the greatness of Kim Jong Il's guidance to the rural economy has been proved more strikingly in the practice of the Korean revolution over the last ten years, the author of the article says:
    The sagacity of Kim Jong Il's guidance in leading the socialist rural construction to victory finds manifestation in placing the ideological revolution to remould the ideological awareness of the farmers definitely before all other work and laying a solid material and technological foundation for dynamically pushing forward agricultural production as required by the building of a great prosperous powerful nation.
    It finds manifestation also in firmly maintaining the socialist principle in the management and operation of the rural economy.
    Kim Jong Il has unswervingly upheld socialist ownership and the principle of collectivism in grim circumstances in which the imperialists have gone to extremes in their moves to isolate and stifle the DPRK. This was a sure guarantee for the steadfast defense of the socialist rural economic system of Korean style.
    In recent years the U.S. imperialists have got more malicious in their schemes to isolate and stifle the DPRK. This has caused temporary difficulties in socialist economic construction, but the faith of the Korean people and all the agricultural workers in the advantages of Korean-style socialism and Korean-style rural economic system is growing stronger as the days go by.
    It is the most precious fruit reaped by Kim Jong Il in the work for socialist rural construction that he has firmly upheld the revolutionary principle and stand under the uplifted banner of Songun and defended the banner of Juche, the banner of socialism in whatever adversity
