The situation today when the grand march for glorifying 2012 as a year of shining victory is getting more dynamic day by day is calling upon the officials to take the lead in making a breakthrough under the uplifted red flag of the revolution, the editorial notes, and goes on:

The destiny of party policies and successes in the respective units depend on how the officials work.

When officials turn out determinedly, their units are sure to make signal progress and when they feel exhausted, part of the projects for the building of a thriving nation is bound to fail.

We have a solid foundation of the self-supporting economy which leader Kim Jong Il consolidated by making a long journey of field guidance all his life and the inexhaustible mental strength of the popular masses cultivated by him.

Everything depends on the officials' ideological viewpoint and fighting spirit.

The officials should prove to be ones fully equipped with Kim Jong Il's outlook on revolution and life calling for steady advance and uninterrupted struggle and to be commanding officials of revolution who guide operations and conduct political work among the masses only the way Kim Jong Il did.
