    Pyongyang, November 29 (KCNA) -- Signal achievements made in building a rich and powerful country are the shining fruition of the ideological might of the servicepersons and people and their patriotic devotion, says Rodong Sinmun Tuesday in a signed article. The Korean people were neither discouraged nor worried but built a powerful socialist country, independent in politics, self-sustaining in economy and self-reliant in national defence through their devoted creative labor under the leadership of the great party and the leader not with the help of others, the article says, and goes on:
    The Korean people's traditional and noble patriotic devotion has been fully displayed in the Songun era.
    The Korean People's Army has created assets of eternal value for the happiness of the people in the heroic self-sacrificing spirit, regarding it as their sacred duty to achieve the prosperity of the country, to say nothing of defending the country. Its total patriotic dedication is greatly encouraging all the people in their gigantic patriotic struggle.
    All of them have turned out as one in the general march for Songun revolution in the revolutionary soldier spirit and are devoting themselves to the patriotic labor for implementing the party's line and policy and building monumental edifices to be handed down to posterity. The construction drive waged by the servicepersons and people of the DPRK to attain the high goal of building a great prosperous powerful nation in the new century despite the worst adversity has been a bold offensive based on the do-or-die patriotic spirit and a heroic struggle for creation. The patriotic devotion displayed by the servicepersons and people in building a great prosperous powerful nation is an expression of their high pride and self-respect for the greatness of their socialist homeland. The DPRK is the only country where the prosperity of the country and hope and happiness and beautiful future of individuals are interlinked. Unshakable are the faith and will of the army and people of the DPRK to build a great prosperous powerful socialist country on this land at any cost with their wisdom, enthusiasm and by the sweat of their brow, a country to be envied by the world people
