The snow-covered path to be taken by the DPRK is the continuation of the long journey of revolution which Generalissimos Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il made with all efforts and the path of the final victory for accomplishing the revolutionary cause of Juche.

This spirit, crystal of the excellent revolutionary spirit which was formed historically and fully displayed, serves as the powerful ideological and moral weapon for winning victory after victory in the great drive for building a thriving socialist nation and reunifying the country by embodying great Kim Jong Il's patriotism. To give full play to the said spirit is a worthwhile work to win a brilliant victory in the general charge to conclude this year's campaign for the present and thus adorn 2012, the starting year of the new Juche centenary, as a year of prosperity.
