Slogans Calling for Higher Leap

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

    Pyongyang, January 9 (KCNA) -- The people in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea are all out on the onward march in the new year, upholding the slogans issued by the joint editorial. The editorial puts forward the slogan "Make another leap forward in building a great prosperous powerful socialist nation on the strength of Songun!". The slogan powerfully calls the whole Party, entire army and all the people to new efforts, reflecting the revolutionary pride, great ambition and invincible mettle of the People's Army and people of Korea who have consolidated the foundation for making a higher leap and dashing faster toward the eminence of a great prosperous powerful socialist nation through grave trials.
    The Korean people have won one brilliant victory after another by effecting a great leaping advance and innovation in the socialist economic construction in hearty response to the slogans of the Workers' Party of Korea which set forth the clear-cut fighting targets at various stages of the revolution and construction.
    Last year, too, the army and people strove hard to implement the slogans jointly issued by the Central Committee and Central Military Commission of the Workers' Party of Korea on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the Party and thus achieved greater successes in the field of economic construction than those that had been made in the recent several years.
    The editorial also advances another slogan "Let us vigorously forward the patriotic movement for independent reunification, peace against war and great national unity under the banner of 'by our nation itself!' that the Korean people should hold high in the national reunification movement this year. Since the publication of the June 15 north-south joint declaration, the movement has entered a new historical turning phase, overcoming big obstacles and difficulties.
    In particular, last year witnessed significant events that opened a new chapter of three-point cooperation--national independence, peace against war and patriotism for reunification. They strikingly demonstrated the great magnetic power and vitality of the idea "by our nation itself". The army and people of Korea are full of the firm resolution to make fresh leaps forward and innovations again this year in the construction of a great prosperous powerful socialist nation under the invariable banner of Songun and open wider the June 15 reunification era through brisk national reunification movement.
