This was the brilliant fruition of the indomitable mental power displayed by all the service personnel and the people in making endeavors, single-mindedly united around their leader.

It is the intention of the Workers' Party of Korea to ensure that the victory won in the drive for a great surge is followed by even greater one and glorify this significant year as a year of dramatic changes to be specially recorded in the history of building a thriving nation by dint of single-minded unity.

The above-mentioned mental power provides a sure guarantee for successfully materializing General Secretary Kim Jong Il's idea of effecting a great surge and his far-reaching plans.

The reality in which ceaseless miracles and signal successes are now reported from all sectors of economic construction clearly testifies to the inexhaustible mental power based on the single-minded unity of the Korean people who share idea and will with Kim Jong Il.

The above-said mental power serves as a main source of the strength for maximizing the tempo of advance in the on-going general offensive this year.

It is the unanimous desire and will of the service personnel and people of the DPRK to make persevering efforts, racing against the time, learning from the spirit displayed by Kim Jong Il in making a forced march.

The mental power based on the single-minded unity serves as a powerful weapon for fully demonstrating the invincibility of Korean style socialism in the on-going advance for effecting a great surge.

Unshakable is the faith of the service personnel and people in the DPRK to keep to the road of socialism no matter how conditions and environment may change in their revolutionary struggle and no matter how many difficulties may lie before them.

The cause of building a thriving nation is confidently advancing straight along the road of victory as there are the outstanding and seasoned leadership of Kim Jong Il and the single-minded unity of all the servicepersons and people around the headquarters of the revolution.
