It is the firm belief of the army and people of the DPRK that a victory is sure to be won in the drive for effecting a great surge and all their ideals will certainly be translated into brilliant realities as Kim Jong Il determines and leads them, the editorial notes, and goes on:

The service personnel and people's conviction of victory represents the great pride that there is no limit to the might of their single-minded unity and spiritual strength and the firm belief in their inexhaustible strength and potential.

The eye-opening victories and successes gained by the service personnel and people in the on-going gigantic march for a great surge signify a victory of the single-minded unity and spiritual strength.

Neither sanctions nor pressures on the part of the imperialists and neither difficulties nor trials can ever overpower the might of the harmonious whole of the army and people of the DPRK in which the Party believes in the people and they devotedly defend the Party and the leader. All the service personnel and people will, at the same time, record with high pride the heroic epics of creation and changes glorifying the history of the DPRK in this year's general offensive, too, with the might of their single-minded unity and indomitable spiritual strength, firmly rallied around the headquarters of the revolution.

Today the national power of the DPRK has reached its peak in all aspects. As the economic power of the DPRK has grown remarkably stronger thanks to the high-pitched drive for a great surge, it is now demonstrating its might as a political, ideological and military power and has in place a springboard from which it can proudly leap towards a high eminence of an economic power. There is nothing to fear and nothing impossible for the DPRK. The Korean people can work world-startling miracles once again and open the gate to a thriving nation earlier than scheduled when they tap all the economic and technical potentials and possibilities and make redoubled efforts.
