Revolutionary Slogan for Present General Offensive

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

   Pyongyang, January 7 (KCNA) -- The slogan "Glorify this year of the 60th anniversary of the founding of the DPRK as a year of historical turn which will go down in the history of the country!" was put forth by the joint New Year editorial of the organs of the Party, army and youth league of the country.
    Upon receiving this militant slogan full of the idea and intention of the Workers' Party of Korea, the Korean people have turned out in the efforts to bring about a fresh leap forward from the outset of the year.
    Following the happy news that the Musan Mining Complex successfully blasted 150 000-cubic meter earth at the first day work of the year, the workers of the Kim Chaek Iron and Steel Complex turned out the first molten iron with a determination to prove themselves worthy of the Party's trust.
    The enthusiasm for the general offensive has swept everywhere in the country, to say nothing of the mining industry and Ranam, Rakwon and Taean machine-building bases. The militant slogans set in each period and at each stage of the developing revolution have firmly griped the hearts of the servicepersons and people, inspiring them into heroic feats.
    Early in January 1998 when the DPRK was forcing its way through the unprecedented ordeals of "Arduous March" and the forced march caused by the imperialists' moves to isolate and stifle it and successive natural disasters, the WPK issued the slogan "Forward in the forced march for final victory!"
    In response to the militant slogan of the Party reflecting its indomitable will to overcome all the difficulties with a bold offensive and achieve the final victory, the Korean people displayed to the full their mental power they had hardened in the storms of revolution.
    Scientists and technicians of the country successfully launched the first artificial satellite with the unbreakable faith and the spirit to surmount difficulties. And the working people in Jagang and South Hamgyong Provinces completed the construction of hundreds of minor power stations in 1998 alone, thus creating a new history of changes on this land.
    In 2000, too, the Korean people held aloft the revolutionary slogan of their own style "Glorify this year greeting the 55th anniversary of the WPK founding as a proud year of victory in the flames of the great Chollima upsurge!"
    Under the militant slogan, the army and people of Korea built the Anbyon Youth Power Station (second stage), Thaechon Power Station No. 5, the Youth Hero Motorway and other edifices, with the result that they adorned the year of 2000 with proud labor achievements.
    Under the uplifted revolutionary slogan advanced in the joint New Year editorial, the Korean people will vigorously launch the general offensive this year in order to carry into practice the far-reaching plan of the Party to open wide the gate to a great, prosperous and powerful country without fail in 2012.
