Korean People Turn out for Hopeful Future

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

    Pyongyang, January 5 (KCNA) -- The joint editorial issued by Rodong Sinmun, Josoninmingun and Chongnyonjonwi on the occasion of the New Year Juche 95 (2006) set forth the slogan "Make another leap forward in building a great prosperous powerful socialist nation on the strength of Songun!" as a militant slogan which should be held high by the servicepersons and people of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. The Korean people, full of great ambition and confidence, are making redoubled efforts for hopeful future. Though the national economy and the people's living are still difficult, they, solidly rallied around leader Kim Jong Il, continue to vigorously advance without any pessimism and discouragement.
    Last year a fresh progress was made in the agricultural production, monumental edifices including the Taean Friendship Glass Factory and Paekma-Cholsan Waterway were built in different parts of the country and the economy was put on a rising track as a whole. Witnessing miracles and changes that have taken place in the economic sector in recent years, they came to have the firm conviction that the day of prosperity and happiness is sure to come before long. And they are turning out more vigorously in the struggle to make a new leap forward in the building of a great prosperous powerful nation.
    Upon receiving the call of the Workers' Party of Korea for putting forward agriculture as the main front of the economic construction this year, too, and mobilizing and concentrating all the forces on farming once again, the officials and working people in the field of agriculture are now in high spirit. From the New Year's Day, the workers of the Pukchang Thermal-power Complex are turning out large quantities of electricity and those at the Musan Mining Complex successfully conducted the 120,000-cubic-meter blasting with a firm resolution to fulfill the yearly concentrated iron ore production plan that is set 30 percent higher than that of last year.
    Such confidence and resolution can be read on the faces of all the working people of the Pyongyang Steel Plant, Hungnam Fertilizer Complex and other parts of the country.
