Anniversary of Kim Il Sung's Work Marked
Pyongyang, July 10 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun Friday dedicates a signed article to the 20th anniversary of President Kim Il Sung's work "Let Us Hasten Socialist Construction with National Pride and Revolutionary Self-confidence."

The work is run through with the fundamental spirit that all the victories and achievements won by the DPRK are a striking demonstration of the greatness of the Workers' Party of Korea and the ideology and cause of the DPRK and its inexhaustible might and the DPRK should continue advancing along the road of Juche and socialism chosen by it, the article notes, and goes on:

The high national pride and self-esteem serve not only as an ideological and moral source making it possible for the people of the DPRK to build a rich and powerful nation on this land by their own efforts in Korean style but a powerful engine for effecting a great leap forward and innovation in the drive for building a rich and powerful country at a new speed of advance.

The Korean people are more dynamically making a general advance based on self-reliance for attaining the WPK's grandiose goal for building a thriving nation with unshakable faith in their ideology and cause and will. Recently, the scientists and technicians of the DPRK successfully launched satellite Kwangmyongsong-2 entirely by their own efforts and with their own technology while the workers of the Taehung Youth Hero Mine realized the Juche orientation of magnesia clinker production on the highest level. All these spectacular successes made in the on-going drive to effect a great surge are the shining fruition of high national pride and self-confidence.

All miracles and changes taking place in the great drive for building a thriving nation are associated with the firm faith and pluck of the people to put the country on the status of a thriving nation. The Korean people bring about uninterrupted creations and innovations through persevering efforts, feeling ashamed of lagging behind others and not complacent with the successes already achieved. This is their proud fighting traits. It is the mettle of the Koreans to build up their own strength, always standing firm on the position of socialism and looking down on the world, and make a breakthrough towards victory with their own resources, technology and on the basis of the advantages of their system.

It is the unshakable will of the people to effect a great leap forward in building a rich and powerful country with high national pride and self-confidence.
