   Pyongyang, January 8 (KCNA) -- Mass rallies were held in North and South Phyongan Provinces, South Hwanghae Province, Kangwon Province and South Hamgyong Province on Jan. 7 to vow to thoroughly implement the militant tasks set forth in the joint editorial for this year.
    Present at the rallies were leading officials of party and power organs, economic institutions and working people's organizations and people from all walks of life and youth and students in local areas.
    Reporters and speakers at the rallies said that all members of the Workers' Party of Korea and other working people, inspired by the joint New Year editorial, are filled with the revolutionary enthusiasm to dynamically wage a general offensive for building a great, prosperous and powerful nation this significant year and thus glorify the 60th anniversary of the founding of the DPRK as a grand festival of victors.
    The joint editorial reflects the WPK's resolution and will to fling open the gate to a great, prosperous and powerful country without fail in the year commemorating the 100th birth anniversary of President Kim Il Sung, they said, noting that it is a militant banner encouraging all the servicepersons and people of the DPRK in their drive to accelerate the general advance of the Songun revolution.
    They called upon officials and other working people to regard the Songun leadership exploits of the WPK as guidelines and work hard with strong patriotic zeal and creative spirit to greet with dignity the grand festival of September with big labour achievements.
    They underscored the need for the Korean people to strikingly demonstrate their pluck and spirit in the on-going general offensive and thus glorify this year, the 60th anniversary of the founding of the DPRK, as a year of a historic turn which will go down in the history of the country.
