Rodong Sinmun Calls for Patriotic Devotion

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

   Pyongyang, May 9 (KCNA) -- The patriotic devotion of the Korean people highly displayed in building a powerful and prosperous country is a manifestation of the Korean nation-first spirit to eternally glorify the dignity and honor of the nation, declares Rodong Sinmun in an article Wednesday.
    The Korean people's patriotism is genuine patriotism and most fervent socialist patriotism as it is based on the Korean nation-first spirit that our leader, our idea, our army and our system are best, the author of the article says, and goes on:
    The Korean nation-first spirit of the Korean people is the basic guarantee for them to absolutely trust and uphold to the last their leader and the basic factor of the display of boundless devotion in the efforts to build a great prosperous powerful socialist nation. It is also a mental motive force that helps preserve the national character and actively keep alive the advantageous national traditions.
    The dignity and honor of the Korean people as Kim Il Sung's nation have been enhanced in the course of building up invincible state power under the Songun leadership of Kim Jong Il.
    The Korean people cherish the Korean nation-first spirit as immutable faith, and it is a powerful weapon which helps valiantly pull through any ordeal.
    The last ten years or more have been years in which the pride and self-confidence of the Korean nation have reached the highest plane and the patriotic devotion of the Korean people have been given fuller play than ever before. The army and people of the DPRK have powerfully demonstrated the invincible mettle of Songun Korea in the acute political, ideological and military confrontation with the U.S. imperialists and unfolded a new history of creation and leap on this land in the great spirit of the times in the teeth of difficulties in which everything fell short of the need. This is a demonstration of deep national self-respect.
