Rodong Sinmun Wednesday says this in a bylined article.

The WPK's leadership provides a decisive guarantee for strengthening the driving force of the revolution and steadily raising its role, the paper says, and goes on:

The WPK clarified long ago that the leader holds an absolute position and plays a decisive role in the revolution and construction. It has always put great efforts into rallying all the service persons and people around the leader.

Thanks to the wise leadership of the party, the army and people of the DPRK have formed a socio-political organism that has achieved an integral unity with the leader in terms of organization and ideology and in the sense of moral obligation.

The party has relied on the popular masses and given full play to their strength in order to push forward the socialite cause. The validity and vitality of the party's leadership over the masses have been clearly proved in practice.

Our party has given full play to the advantages of Korean-style socialism and firmly preserved the revolutionary principle under the uplifted banner of independence.

Thanks to the wise leadership of the party, the Korean people could steadily preserve the true character of socialism and step up the building of Korean-style economic power.

Under the party's Songun leadership, our socialist fortress has been cemented to be invincible that no enemy dare ever provoke.

The DPRK army and people are unswervingly following the path of socialism, confident of their victory under the leadership of the WPK, the article concludes.
