In the joint New Year editorial of Rodong Sinmun, Josoninmingun and Chongnyonjonwi, the DPRK's leading newspapers, the Workers' Party of Korea calls for launching a sweeping campaign to bring about a drastic turn in improving the people's living standard in the flames of the great revolutionary upsurge.

The call has made the whole country permeated with the spirit of a new offensive.

This year the Korean people will celebrate the 65th anniversary of the WPK.

The glorious Party strives to realise the ideals of the people.

Thanks to the wise leadership of the great party, which regards the people as supreme and spares nothing for them, the people-centered socialism of Korean style has been firmly defended and a new era of national prosperity filled with the people's happiness has come.

Enormous are potentials of the light-industry production provided by the Korean people despite trials under the leadership of the Party.

The might of the country's economy including heavy industry has been further strengthened in the flames of the great upsurge, setting up a springboard for socialist Korea of Juche, already a politico-ideological and military power, to reach the status of a strong economy in a dignified manner.

The workers of the updated factories and enterprises in the light-industry sector have massproduced quality consumer goods through great innovations and a fresh leap forward.

The agricultural working people have also turned out in the efforts for sharply increasing grain production.

There is no unconquerable fortress for the Korean people whose inexhaustible mental strength have been brought into full play under the WPK's veteran leadership and by dint of the might of the Party and the people in perfect harmony.

The Korean people are now in high spirits to implement the call of the WPK.
