Rodong Sinmun Friday says this in a bylined article.

This is the strategic line which the army and the people of the DPRK should consistently hold fast to in the effort to build a thriving socialist nation, the article says, and goes on:

It is the highest goal of the Workers' Party of Korea to build a thriving socialist nation in which national power is strong, everything prospers and people lead a happy life with nothing to desire more in the world.

The single-minded unity is the greatest national power firmly guaranteeing a bright prospect and future of the country and the nation. This is an icon of the solidity and invincibility of Korean-style socialism.

No matter how much water may flow under the bridge and how frequently a generation is replaced by another, the single-minded unity of the DPRK where the leader, the party, the army and the people are united close as one serves as an eternal banner of victory in the effort for building a thriving socialist nation.

Arms guarantee the dignity and prosperity of the country and the nation. This is the precious truth taught by the history of the Korean revolutionary struggle.

The DPRK has waged a dynamic struggle for building a thriving socialist nation, winning victory after victory in the fierce confrontation with imperialists, because it has powerful military capability.

The development of science and technology is a major criterion for a country's economic potential at present. The level of scientific and technological development means that of national power and economic power.

The industrial revolution in the new century is the fruition of the patriotic devotion leader Kim Jong Il made by foreseeing future, not merely taking the trial facing the country into consideration, sowing seeds and cultivating them with care.

The army and the people of the DPRK will certainly build a Juche-oriented thriving nation on this land in hearty response to the strategic line laid down by Kim Jong Un, the article concludes.
