New Leap Forward in Building Thriving Nation Called for
Pyongyang, May 23 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun Sunday in an editorial says the Korean people are full of great national pride and self-esteem of holding a great man born of Heaven and the whole country is filled with the unprecedented spirit for a great surge.

The Korean people are faithful people absolutely trusting and following their leader only and the DPRK is a large socialist family in which the leader and the people form a harmonious whole, the editorial says, and goes on:

The Korean people keenly felt the greater national pride and self-esteem, upon the news of General Secretary Kim Jong Il's China visit, and deeply cherished the immortal efforts made by him, devoting his all to the bright future of the country and the nation. It was the army and people of the DPRK, the ranks of loyalists, who more vigorously effected a great surge on all fronts of building a thriving nation, looking up to the noble image of him who made a long foreign tour full of vim and vigor.

The leader devotes his all to the people while the latter remains loyal to him with pure conscience and obligation. This is the true picture of the single-minded unity of the DPRK.

The cause of building a thriving nation is making dynamic progress full of energy toward the immensely bright future as there is the unbreakable single-minded unity in which the leader and the people are firmly forged in idea, faith, intention and feelings.

Let us cherish the great pride and self-esteem of advancing under the leadership of Kim Jong Il and bring earlier the final victory in building a thriving nation by accelerating the advance speed of a great surge to the maximum by dint of the single-minded unity.
