The self-development-first principle represents a revolutionary spirit of remarkably redoubling our strength and paving our way ourselves.

It is the intention of the Workers' Party of Korea to help all Koreans work hard with the firm will to do everything, believing in their strength, without the slightest vacillation before difficulties and trial with the 70-day campaign as a momentum, the editorial says, adding:

Self-development serves as the most powerful weapon to instill into them strong faith that one's own thing is the best and one's own strength is the most dependable and to completely root out undesirable ideas and spirit such as flunkeyism, national nihilism and proclivity to import.

Matchless pluck and grit and indomitable stamina and high creative energy to solve everything by relying on one's own strength stem from absolute trust in one's own strength and strong will for national self-respect.

The party's determination and will to accomplish the great cause of building a thriving nation and realize the people's beautiful dream and ideals by our own efforts and with indigenous technology and resources are now being translated into realities through the dynamic practical drive of all service personnel and people of the DPRK.
