Now the Korean people are full of great enthusiasm to launch a general offensive dynamically, sounding the advance for opening the gate to a great, prosperous and powerful nation, united closely around the Workers' Party of Korea as at the time when the great Chollima upsurge was brought about in the post-war years.

Kim Jong Il kindled the torch of a new revolutionary upsurge in Kangson on December 24 last year. It is a great event that will bring about a momentous turning point in the development of the WPK and the revolution as in December Juche 45 (1956) when President Kim Il Sung set the great Chollima Movement in motion.

Herein lies the WPK's invariable will to build a powerful socialist country that ensures the eternal prosperity of the nation under the blue sky of the country highly dignified with Songun and hand it down to posterity by racing against the time in the spirit and the mettle of having overcome manifold difficulties and built on the war debris a strong country independent in politics, self-supporting in economy and self-reliant in national defence through a great Chollima upsurge.

The Korean people will certainly build a great, prosperous and powerful nation in the socialist country, the greatest patriotic heritage of President Kim Il Sung, by giving full scope to the indomitable spiritual strength and using all the potentials that they have cultivated and built in the flames of Songun and thus making a giant leap forward on all fronts through the great revolutionary upsurge.
