Rodong Sinmun on History of Ever-Victorious WPK

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)

    Pyongyang, October 1 (KCNA) -- It is an important requirement for remaining intensely loyal to President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il to deeply grasp the greatness of the 60-year-long history of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK). Rodong Sinmun Saturday says this in an editorial. During the last six decades the WPK has victoriously led the most arduous and complicated struggle of the times including the deep-going social revolution, the hard-fought war, the gigantic socialist construction and the struggle to defend socialism without gunfire under the banners of the Juche idea and the single-minded unity, the editorial notes, and goes on:
    The history of the WPK precisely means the history of the great revolutionary activities of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il. The path of arduous struggle covered by the WPK and its glorious road of victory are associated with their giant footprints. All the achievements of the WPK have been possible only thanks to their tireless efforts. It is necessary, first of all, to firmly arm oneself with the Juche idea of the WPK and cherish it as unshakable faith.
    We should conduct the work to embody the Juche idea as required by the Songun era at a new higher stage in order to augment the political, economic and military power of the country in every way and bring socialist national culture into full bloom. The history of the WPK is the history in which importance has been attached to the army, the history in which we have won victory after victory in the struggle to defend the sovereignty of the country and the fierce confrontation with imperialism, tightly holding arms, while firmly grasping ideology.
    Thanks to the 45 year-long history of the immortal Songun revolutionary leadership of Kim Jong Il, the WPK's 60 year-long history is great and the country and the revolution have a rosy future.
    It is necessary to deeply grasp the undying history of the WPK which has worked epoch-making miracles in socialist construction by dint of the single-minded unity of all people.
    It is also necessary to successfully carry forward the WPK's history of noble comradeship in order to make comradeship and the spirit of collectivism prevail throughout the country and complete the Korean revolution with the might of the revolutionary comradeship and the might of single-minded unity sharing the destiny with the leader. All the Party members and other working people in all fields and at all units of national economy including agriculture, the main sector of the socialist economic construction, should fully display the revolutionary spirit of self-reliance and fortitude to thoroughly carry out their tasks without fail and greet the 60th anniversary of the WPK with great labor gifts to it.
