Anniversary of Kim Jong Il's Field Guidance to Jagang Province Observed

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

   Pyongyang, January 16 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun Wednesday editorially observes the 10th anniversary of Kim Jong Il's field guidance to Jagang Province.
    The Kanggye spirit created in the province is the spirit of devotedly safeguarding socialism displayed during "the Arduous March," the most difficult period in the Korean revolution, and the unshakable fighting spirit as it paved the way for building a land of bliss by standing severe trials through a bold offensive, the editorial says, and goes on:
    The Korean revolution has now entered the historic phase of completing the cause of building a great prosperous powerful nation in all fields under the leadership of the great Workers' Party of Korea.
    Reflecting the actual requirements of the developing revolution the WPK unrolled a grandiose plan for opening wide the gate to a great prosperous powerful nation without fail in 2012, the 100th birth anniversary of President Kim Il Sung and is wisely leading the drive to put it into practice. It is the WPK's determination and will to effect a historical turn in all fields of the revolution and construction this year marking the 60th founding anniversary of the DPRK just as the Korean people built a socialist power--independence in politics, self-support in economy and self-reliance in national defence--on this land in leaps and bounds through the grand march of Chollima in the post-war days and to let the DPRK occupy the position of a power in the economic field, too, in a few years to come in the same spirit as displayed in those days.
    The Kanggye spirit represents the Chollima spirit in the Songun era, a powerful engine propelling the building of a great prosperous powerful nation.
    The above-said spirit reflects confidence in rosy future, great ambition and high goal and represents the high speed of Chollima (winged horse) covering 400 km at a gallop and its staunch spirit of braving whatever adversity.
    Only those who live and struggle in the Kanggye spirit can claim to be genuine human beings who share idea and faith with Kim Jong Il, staunch fighters who have personified his view on the revolution and life and heroes of the times and genuine patriots rendering devoted services for the prosperity of the country. When the Kanggye spirit runs high throughout the country it will witness a new great Chollima surge and scale the high eminence of a great prosperous powerful nation faster.
    The editorial calls on all people to give fuller play to the Kanggye spirit single-mindedly united around Kim Jong Il and thus glorify this year as a year of historical turn which will go down in the history of the country and make efforts to bring earlier the day of final victory in the building of a great prosperous powerful nation.
