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

   Pyongyang, January 10 (KCNA) -- The Korean people are all out in the general offensive of the year with immense patriotic zeal and creative spirit in response to the militant 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!" set forth in the joint New Year editorial.
    The fighting spirit and mettle of the people, who respond to the call of the motherland heart and soul, are being displayed to the full from the outset of the year.
    A fierce spark of joint innovations was lit by the heightened enthusiasm of the electricity producers and colliers who are standing in the van of the general offensive for the building of an economic power.
    Greeting the new year, the Musan Mining Complex launched into the general offensive with a gigantic blasting of 150 000 cubic-meter earth, the Pyongyang Steel Plant carried out the first teeming with success and the Hungnam Fertilizer Complex reported significant results every day.
    The electric locomotives including "Red Flag" 6044 of the West Pyongyang Locomotive Corps and the "Red Flag" 5367 of the Jongju Locomotive Corps are transporting an increased amount of freight to various fields of the national economy, their whistles reverberating far and wide. The Mangyongdae Farm in Mangyongdae District and co-op farms throughout the country have pitted into energetic field work in the new year to sharply boost grain production this year.
    News of innovations in consumer goods production has come from every light industrial factory across the country and reports about feats of labor performed by shock brigade members and builders from the construction sites of the Ryesonggang Power Station, the Paektusan Songun Youth Power Station and others astir with revolutionary zeal.
    Fairly high, indeed, is the pride of the Korean people who are engraving one more annual ring of victory in the great history of the Republic with the resolution to make the country more prosperous at any cost, relying on their own efforts, technology and home resources.
    The Korean people built socialism on the ruins in the revolutionary spirit of self-reliance under the leadership of President Kim Il Sung and turned the "Arduous March" into a march to a paradise through grim ordeals under the Songun revolutionary leadership of Kim Jong Il. They are now making a vigorous march in order to leave remarkable footmarks of their life on the road to the prosperity of the motherland.
