Rodong Sinmun Wednesday says this in a signed article.

It goes on:

The DPRK advancing under the leadership of the great Party regards the popular masses as the most valuable and mighty beings in the world, deems it as a fundamental principle governing the state activities to faithfully serve the people and solves all the issues arising in socialist construction in reliance on the popular masses.

The country, the army and the security organ and monumental edifices and various honorable titles in the DPRK go by the word of people. This clearly proves how dear the DPRK holds the people.

The DPRK lays down any line and policy, placing the people's interests above anything else, and builds any structure in such a manner as to enable the people to substantially benefit from it.

The people in the country are given an ample opportunity of learning, keeping themselves in good health and leading a cultural and emotional life full of revolutionary spirit and optimism thanks to the systems of free education and free medical care and various popular policies enforced by the state.

The WPK built the DPRK's indestructible ideological position by achieving single-minded unity with the popular masses, consolidated the invulnerable military position by dint of the mental power of all the servicepersons and people and reinforced the economic and cultural positions by enlisting the inexhaustible strength of the popular masses.

The Korean people have performed epoch-making miracles in every period of the revolution and construction and at their each phase true to the leadership of the Party and the leaders up to this date when they are building a great prosperous powerful socialist nation since the period of laying the foundation for founding the state and the early period of nation-building. They are highly proud of this.

They have grown strong enough to successfully undertake any difficult task for building a great prosperous powerful socialist nation under the care of the great Party. There are neither difficulties insurmountable nor fortress unconquerable for them as long as they remain united as firm as a rock around the great Party.
